Abstract: Section 328 of the Clean Air Act gives EPA responsibility for regulating air pollution from outer continental shelf (OCS) sources located offshore of the states along the Pacific and Atlantic Coasts, and along the eastern Gulf of Mexico coast (off the coast of Florida). In general, these OCS sources must obtain preconstruction permits (usually Prevention of Significant Deterioration or ‘‘PSD’’ permits) and title V operating permits, and then maintain ongoing compliance with their permit conditions. Industry respondents include owners or operators of existing and new or modified OCS sources. These respondents must prepare permit applications and, after receiving their permits, conduct testing, monitoring, recordkeeping and reporting as required by their permits. The recordkeeping and reporting requirements are necessary so that the EPA can determine whether these sources are meeting all the requirements that apply to them. The EPA has delegated the authority to VerDate Sep<11>2014 15:21 May 09, 2017 Jkt 241001 implement and enforce the OCS regulations for sources located off the coast of California to four local air pollution control agencies, and for sources located off a portion of the Atlantic Coast to three state agencies. These agency respondents must review sources’ permit applications and reports, issue permits, observe performance tests and conduct inspections to ensure that the sources are meeting all the requirements that apply to them. Section 176(c) of the Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C. 7401 et seq.) requires that all federal actions conform with the State Implementation Plans (SIPs) to attain and maintain the NAAQS. Depending on the type of action, the federal entities must collect information themselves, hire consultants to collect the information or require applicants/sponsors of the federal action to provide the information. The type and quantity of information required will depend on the circumstances surrounding the action. First, the entity must make an applicability determination. If the source is located within 25 miles of the state’s seaward boundary as established in the regulations, the requirements are the same as those that would be applicable if the source were located in the corresponding onshore area. State and local air pollution control agencies are usually requested to provide information concerning regulation of offshore sources and are provided opportunities to comment on the proposed determinations. The public is also provided an opportunity to comment on the proposed determinations. Form numbers: None. Respondents/affected entities: Entities potentially affected by this action are those which must apply for and obtain a permit pursuant the OCS permit program. In addition, state and local agencies that have been delegated authority to implement and enforce the OCS permit program, which must review permit applications and issue permits, are affected entities. Respondent’s obligation to respond: Mandatory (see 40 CFR part 55). Estimated number of respondents: 37 industrial facilities and 5 state and local permitting agencies. Frequency of response: On occasion, as necessary. Total estimated burden: 27,018 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.03(b). Total estimated cost: $2,365,385 (per year). This includes $30,816 annually in Operation and Maintenance costs. PO 00000 Frm 00024 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Changes in estimates: There is a decrease of 1,156 hours in the total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR most recently approved by OMB. This decrease is primarily due to a decrease in the projected number of OCS sources subject to the program. Courtney Kerwin, Director, Regulatory Support Division.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On October 13, 2005, the final Cross-Media 
Electronic Reporting Rule (CROMERR) was published in the Federal 
Register (70 FR 59848) and codified as part 3 of title 40 of the CFR. 
CROMERR establishes electronic reporting as an acceptable regulatory 
alternative to paper reporting and establishes requirements to assure 
that electronic documents are as legally dependable as their paper 
counterparts. Subpart D of CROMERR requires that state, tribal or local 
government agencies that receive, or wish to begin receiving, 
electronic reports under their EPA-authorized programs must apply to 
EPA for a revision of those programs and obtain EPA approval. Subpart D 
provides standards for such approvals based on consideration of the 
electronic document receiving systems that the state, tribe, or local 
government will use

[[Page 21813]]

to implement the electronic reporting. Additionally, Sec.  3.1000(b) 
through (e) of 40 CFR part 3, subpart D provides special procedures for 
program revisions to allow electronic reporting, to be used at the 
option of the state, tribe or local government in place of procedures 
available under existing program-specific authorization regulations. An 
application submitted under the subpart D procedures must show that the 
state, tribe or local government has sufficient legal authority to 
implement the electronic reporting components of the programs covered 
by the application and will use electronic document receiving systems 
that meet the applicable subpart D requirements.
    On November 30, 2016, the Colorado Department of Public Health and 
Environment (CDPHE) submitted an application titled Colorado DPHE 
Online System for revisions to its EPA-approved programs under title 40 
CFR to allow new electronic reporting. EPA reviewed CDPHE's request to 
revise its EPA-authorized programs and, based on this review, EPA 
determined that the application met the standards for approval of 
authorized program revisions set out in 40 CFR part 3, subpart D. In 
accordance with 40 CFR 3.1000(d), this notice of EPA's decision to 
approve Colorado's request to revise its following EPA-authorized 
programs to allow electronic reporting under 40 CFR parts 50-52, 61-63, 
65, 70, 122, 125, 141, 240-270, 272-279, 403, 412, 437, 745, and 763 is 
being published in the Federal Register:

Part 52--Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans;
Part 62--Approval and Promulgation of State Plans for Designated 
Facilities and Pollutants;
Part 63--National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutant for 
Source Categories for Source Categories;
Part 70--State Operating Permit Programs;
Part 123--EPA Administered Permit Programs: The National Pollutant 
Discharge Elimination System;
Part 142--National Primary Drinking Water Regulations Implementation;

Program;
Part 403--General Pretreatment Regulations for Existing and New Sources 
of Pollution;
Part 745--Lead-based Paint Poisoning Prevention in Certain Residential 
Structures; and
Part 763--Asbestos.

    CDPHE was notified of EPA's determination to approve its 
application with respect to the authorized programs listed above.
    Also, in today's notice, EPA is informing interested persons that 
they may request a public hearing on EPA's action to approve the State 
of Colorado's request to revise its authorized public water system 
program under 40 CFR part 142, in accordance with 40 CFR 3.1000(f). 
Requests for a hearing must be submitted to EPA within 30 days of 
publication of today's Federal Register notice. Such requests should 
include the following information: (1) The name, address and telephone
