Abstract: Owners and operators of 

petroleum refineries are required to 

comply with reporting and record 

keeping requirements for the General 

Provisions (40 CFR part 60, subpart A), 

as well as for the applicable specific 

standards in 40 CFR part 60 subpart J. 

This includes submitting initial 

notifications, performance tests and 

periodic reports and results, and 

maintaining records of the occurrence 

and duration of any startup, shutdown, 

or malfunction in the operation of an 

affected facility, or any period during 

which the monitoring system is 

inoperative. These reports are used by 

EPA to determine compliance with 

these standards. 

Form Numbers: None. 

Respondents/affected entities: 

Petroleum refineries. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Mandatory (40 CFR part 60, subpart J). 

Estimated number of respondents: 

130 (total). 

Frequency of response: Semiannually. 

Total estimated burden: 13,800 hours 

(per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 

1320.3(b). 

Total estimated cost: $2,450,000 (per 

year), which includes $809,000 in 

annualized capital/startup and/or 

operation & maintenance costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is a 

decrease in burden from the mostrecently approved ICR as currently 

identified in the OMB Inventory of 

Approved Burdens. This is due to a 

decrease in the number of respondents 

subject to Subpart J. The estimated 

number of respondents is based on 

EPA’s Enforcement and Compliance 

History Online (ECHO) database, data 

collected per the Agency’s industry 

analysis in its recent 2018 and 2020 

rulemakings and confirmed through 

industry consultations. The regulations 

have not changed over the past three 

years and are not anticipated to change 

over the next three years. The growth 

rate for this industry is very low or nonexistent. Since there are no changes in 

the regulatory requirements and there is 

no significant industry growth, there are 

no changes in the capital/startup costs. 

There is a decrease in operation and 

maintenance (O&M) costs due to a 

decrease in the number of respondents 

with these costs. O&M costs have been 

updated from 2005 to 2019 using the 

CEPCI Index.

Privacy Act of 1974; System of 

Records 

AGENCY: Office of the Chief Financial 

Officer (OCFO), Environmental 

Protection Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice of a modified system of 

records. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Environmental 

Protection Agency’s (EPA) Office of the 

Chief Financial Officer (OCFO), Office 

of Technology Solutions, is giving 

notice that it proposes to modify a 

system of records pursuant to the 

provisions of the Privacy Act of 1974. 

EPA is making updates to its system of 

records, PeoplePlus, EPA–1 and is 

modifying this system of records notice 

to reflect those updates. EPA’s Office of 

Human Resources (OHR) previously 

used the EPA–1 PeoplePlus system to 

administer several human resources 

functions, including time and 

attendance, payroll, workforce 

transformation, and entrance on duty 

system. The PeoplePlus system will 

now only be used for time and 

attendance, and EPA’s OCFO will now 

manage the system. 

DATES: Persons wishing to comment on 

this system of records notice must do so 

by October 7, 2021. New routine uses 

for this system of records will be 

effective October 7, 2021.

comment due to technical difficulties 

and cannot contact you for clarification, 

the EPA may not be able to consider 

your comment. If you send an email 

comment directly to the EPA without 

going through https://

www.regulations.gov, your email 

address will be automatically captured 

and included as part of the comment 

that is placed in the public docket and 

made available on the internet. 

Electronic files should avoid the use of 

special characters, any form of 

encryption, and be free of any defects or

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: EPA’s 

OHR has been using the PeoplePlus 

system to administer payroll, HR 

processes, and time and attendance. 

EPA is removing the following 

systems/functions from the PeoplePlus 

system: Payroll (Federal Personnel 

Payroll System), Workforce 

Transformation, and Tracking System 

and Entrance on Duty System (WTTS/ 

EODS)—web-based Human Resources 

Management Suite (HRMS), and 

Oracle’s Business Intelligence 

Enterprise Edition (OBIEE). Specifically, 

the Department of the Interior, Interior 

Business Center will be hosting the 

systems/functions. 

PeoplePlus will continue to 

administer EPA’s time and attendance, 

and EPA is retaining those provisions of 

the EPA–1 SORN for these functions. 

The information maintained in 

PeoplePlus’s time and attendance 

system is not being modified and the 

portions of the EPA–1 SORN not 

modified here remain unchanged. 

The system manager, authority for 

maintenance of the system, purpose of 

the system, categories of records in the 

system, record source categories, routine 

uses, and policy and practices for 

storage and retrieval are being modified 

to reflect the updated usage and 

collection. 

SYSTEM NAME AND NUMBER:

absence forms, including sick leave, 

annual leave, administrative leave, and 

time off awards.

employee time and attendance 

information. This includes elements 

(Hours/Time Reporting Code/Work 

Code) associated with bi-weekly time 

and attendance and elements (Start-End 

Dates/Leave Category/Absence Type/ 

Duration) related to submitting absence 

requests for various types of leave. 

PeoplePlus contains employee 

information for payroll processing, 

including: Names, SSNs, EINs, DOBs, 

Addresses, Work Telephone #s, and 

Employee IDs. 

RECORD SOURCE CATEGORIES:

Review Panel 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) Science Advisory Board 

(SAB) Staff Office requests public 

nominations of scientific experts to form 

a Panel to review the draft EPA 

Integrated Risk Information System 

(IRIS) Toxicological Review of 

Chloroform (Noncancer; Inhalation). 

The draft assessment includes a hazard 

identification analysis, which 

summarizes the chemical properties, 

pharmacokinetics, and health effects 

associated with environmental or 

occupational exposure, and doseresponse analysis, which characterizes 

the quantitative relationship between 

chemical exposure and each credible 

health hazard. The SAB Chloroform 

Review Panel will consider whether the 

conclusions found in the EPA’s draft 

assessment are clearly presented and 

scientifically supported. The Panel will 

also be asked to provide 

recommendations on how the 

assessment may be strengthened. 

DATES: Nominations should be 

submitted by September 28, 2021 per 

the instructions below. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Any 

member of the public wishing further 

information regarding this Notice and

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background: The SAB (42 U.S.C. 4365) 

is a chartered Federal Advisory 

Committee that provides independent 

scientific and technical peer review, 

advice, and recommendations to the 

EPA Administrator on the technical 

basis for EPA actions. As a Federal 

Advisory Committee, the SAB conducts 

business in accordance with the Federal 

Advisory Committee Act (FACA) (5 

U.S.C. App. 2) and related regulations. 

The SAB Staff Office is forming an 

expert panel, the SAB Chloroform 

Review Panel, under the auspices of the 

Chartered SAB. The SAB Chloroform 

Review Panel will provide advice 

through the chartered SAB. The SAB 

and the SAB Chloroform Review Panel 

will comply with the provisions of 

FACA and all appropriate SAB Staff 

Office procedural policies. 

The SAB Chloroform Review Panel 

will conduct a review of the draft EPA 

IRIS Toxicological Review of 

Chloroform (Inhalation; Noncancer). 

The draft assessment includes a hazard 

identification analysis, which 

summarizes the chemical properties, 

pharmacokinetics, and health effects 

associated with environmental or 

occupational exposure, and doseresponse analysis, which characterizes 

the quantitative relationship between 

chemical exposure and each credible 

health hazard. The SAB Chloroform 

Review Panel will consider whether the
