Title: National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants: Radionuclides, OMB No. 2060–0191, expiring 8/25/05. Abstract: On December 15, 1989 pursuant to section 112 of the Clean Air Act as amended in 1977 (42 U.S.C. 1857), EPA promulgated NESHAPs to control radionuclide emissions from several source categories. The regulations were published in 54 FR 51653, and are codified at 40 CFR part 61, subparts B, H, I, K, R, T, and W. Information is being collected pursuant to Federal regulation 40 CFR 61. The pertinent sections of the regulation for reporting and record keeping are listed below for each source category: Department of Energy Facilities— Sections 61.93, 61.94, 61.95 Elemental Phosphorous—Sections 61.123, 61.124, 61.126 Non-DOE Federal Facilities—Sections 61.103, 61.104, 61.105, 61.107 Phosphogypsum Stacks—Sections 61.203, 61.206, 61.207, 61.208, 61.209 Underground Uranium Mines—Sections 61.24, 61.25 Uranium Mill Tailings Piles—Sections 61.223, 61.224, 61.253, 61.254, 61.255 Data and information collected is used by EPA to ensure that public health continues to be protected from the hazards of airborne radionuclides by compliance with NESHAPs. If the information were not collected, it is unlikely that potential violations of the standards would be identified and corrective action would be initiated to bring the facilities back into compliance. Compliance is demonstrated through emission testing and/or dose calculation. Results are submitted to EPA annually for verification of compliance and maintained for a period of 5 years. An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. The OMB control numbers for EPA’s regulations are listed in 40 CFR part 9, and 48 CFR Chapter 15. The EPA would like to solicit comments to: (i) Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including whether the information will have practical utility; PO 00000 Frm 00023 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 7733 (ii) Evaluate the accuracy of the agency’s estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of information; (iii) Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (iv) Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated collection techniques or other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic submission of responses. Burden Statement: The estimated burden for each respondent is 32 hours per response. This estimate is based on experience gained in preparing radionuclide NESHAPs enforcement and compliance guidance material and in demonstrating the use of EPA’s COMPLY computer program to the uninitiated.

The estimated annualized capital/start up costs are: $45,000 and the annual operation and maintenance costs are $1,581,120. Burden means the total time, effort, or financial resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or disclose or provide information to or for a Federal agency. This includes the time needed to review instructions; develop, acquire, install, and utilize technology and systems for the purposes of collecting, validating, and verifying information, processing and maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information; adjust the existing ways to comply with any previously applicable instructions and requirements; train personnel to be able to respond to a collection of information; search data sources; complete and review the collection of information; and transmit or otherwise disclose the information.

ACTION: Notice of adequacy determination. AGENCY: SUMMARY: In this notice, EPA is notifying the public that we have found that the motor vehicle emissions budgets contained in the submitted 2004 State Implementation Plan for Ozone in the San Joaquin Valley are adequate for transportation conformity purposes. As a result of our finding, the various transportation planning agencies in the San Joaquin Valley and the Federal Highway Administration must use the VOC and NOX motor vehicle emissions budgets from the submitted 2004 State Implementation Plan for Ozone in the San Joaquin Valley for future conformity determinations. DATES: This determination is effective March 2, 2005. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: The finding is available at EPA’s conformity Web site: https://www.epa.gov/oms/ transp/traqconf.htm (once there, click on the ‘‘Transportation Conformity’’ link, then look for ‘‘Adequacy Web Pages’’).

This notice announces our finding that the emissions budgets contained in the 2004 State Implementation Plan 1 for Ozone in the San Joaquin Valley (‘‘Ozone Plan’’), submitted by the State of California on behalf of the San Joaquin Valley Unified Air Pollution Control SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 1 The submitted Ozone Plan includes a rate-ofprogress demonstration for milestone years 2008 and 2010 and a demonstration that the San Joaquin Valley will attain by no later than the 2010 attainment date for areas classified ‘‘extreme’’ under the federal 1-hour ozone standard. VerDate jul<14>2003 17:50 Feb 14, 2005 Jkt 205001 District on November 15, 2004, are adequate for transportation conformity purposes. EPA Region IX made this finding in a letter to the State of California, Air Resources Board on February 7, 2005. We are also announcing this finding on our conformity Web site: https:// www.epa.gov/oms/transp/traqconf.htm (once there, click on the ‘‘Transportation Conformity’’ link, then look for ‘‘Adequacy Web Pages’’). Transportation conformity is required by section 176(c) of the Clean Air Act. Our conformity rule requires that transportation plans, programs, and projects conform to state air quality implementation plans (SIPs) and establishes the criteria and procedures for determining whether or not they do. Conformity to a SIP means that transportation activities will not produce new air quality violations, worsen existing violations, or delay timely attainment of the national ambient air quality standards. The criteria by which we determine whether a SIP’s motor vehicle emission budgets are adequate for conformity purposes are outlined in 40 CFR 93.118(e)(4). One of these criteria is that the motor vehicle emissions budgets, when considered together with all other emission sources, is consistent with applicable requirements for the reasonable further progress plan. We have preliminarily determined that the 2004 State Implementation Plan for Ozone in the San Joaquin Valley plan meets the necessary rate of progress reductions for milestone years 2008 and 2010 and demonstrates attainment by no later than 2010. Therefore, the motor vehicle emissions budgets can be found adequate. Please note that an adequacy review is separate from EPA’s completeness review, and it also should not be used to prejudge EPA’s ultimate approval of the submitted plan itself. Even if we find a budget adequate, the submitted plan could later be disapproved. We have described our process for determining the adequacy of submitted SIP budgets in guidance (May 14, 1999 memo titled ‘‘Conformity Guidance on Implementation of March 2, 1999 Conformity Court Decision’’). This guidance is now reflected in the amended transportation conformity rule, July 1, 2004 (69 FR 40004), and in the correction notice, July 20, 2004 (69 FR 43325). We followed this process in making our adequacy determination on the motor vehicle emissions budgets contained in the 2004 State Implementation Plan for Ozone in the San Joaquin Valley.

DATES: SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background: EPA’s recommended ambient water quality criteria for aquatic life provide guidance to states and tribes for adopting water quality standards which are the basis for controlling discharges or releases of pollutants. Currently, ambient water quality criteria for aquatic life protection are derived according to the Guidelines for Derivation of Ambient Water Quality Criteria for the Protection of Aquatic Life and Their Uses, published in 1985. To ensure that ambient water quality criteria are derived from the best available science, EPA’s Office of Water assessed the need to update the Guidelines and identified issues that should be addressed in the E:\FR\FM\15FEN1.SGM 15FEN1
