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

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.

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.

Director, Regulatory Support Division.

Electronic Reporting Rule (CROMERR)
was published in the Federal Register
(70 FR 59848) and codified as part 3 of

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

Additionally, § 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,

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

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 EPAapproved programs under title 40 CFR
to allow new electronic reporting. EPA

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
