(subpart E) mills under 40 CFR part 430
as part of the effluent limitations
guidelines and standards promulgated
on April 15, 1998. As a result, the
permitting and pretreatment control
authority requires applicable facilities
subject to subparts B or E to monitor
their effluent for adsorbable organic
halides (AOX), 2,3,7,8tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD),
2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzofuran (TCDF),
chloroform, and 12 chlorinated
phenolics at specified frequencies. See
40 CFR 430.02. Under 40 CFR
122.41(e)(4), the discharger must then
report these monitoring results to the
permitting or pretreatment control
authority using either Discharge
Monitoring Reports (DMRs) or Periodic
Compliance Reports (PCRs). These
minimum monitoring requirements and
corresponding reporting requirements
are necessary to demonstrate
compliance with the effluent limitations
guidelines and standards promulgated
at 40 CFR part 430, subparts B and E.
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 in 40
CFR are listed in 40 CFR part 9 and are
identified on the form and/or
instrument, if applicable.
Burden Statement: The annual public
reporting and recordkeeping burden for
this collection of information is
estimated to average 361 hours per
response. 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.
Respondents/Affected Entities:
Operations that chemically pulp wood
fiber using kraft or soda methods to
produce bleached papergrade pulp,
paperboard, coarse paper, tissue paper,
fine paper, and/or paperboard; and
those operations that chemically pump
wood fiber using papergrade sulfite
methods to produce pulp and/or paper.

Estimated Number of Respondents:
138.
Frequency of Response: No less than
annually for direct dischargers and no
less than twice annually for indirect
dischargers.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:
37,544.
Estimated Total Annual Cost:
$15,086,000, which includes $0 annual
capital/startup costs, $13,819,000
annual O&M costs and $1,267,000
annual labor costs.
Changes in the Estimates: There is
slight increase in the burden hours
currently identified in the OMB
Inventory of Approved ICR Burdens
which is due to an adjustment in the
number of respondents. There is a
decrease in the annual cost due to the
fact that the one-time capital costs
incurred under the original ICR are not
included in this renewal ICR.

Adequacy Determination for the Ogden
City Area Carbon Monoxide
Maintenance State Implementation
Plan for Transportation Conformity
Purposes; State of Utah
Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice of adequacy.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: In this document, EPA is
notifying the public that we have found
that the motor vehicle emissions budget
for 2021 in the Ogden, Utah Carbon
Monoxide Maintenance Plan, that was
submitted by Utah Governor Olene S.
Walker on November 29, 2004, is
adequate for transportation conformity
purposes. 40 CFR 93.118(e)(2) requires
that EPA declare an implementation
plan submission’s motor vehicle
emissions budget adequate for
conformity purposes prior to the budget
being used to satisfy the conformity
requirements of 40 CFR part 93. As a
result of our finding, the Wasatch Front
Regional Council of Governments, the
Utah Department of Transportation and
the U.S. Department of Transportation
are required to use the motor vehicle
emissions budget from this submitted
maintenance plan for future
transportation conformity
determinations.

kimes.jeffrey@epa.gov.
The letter documenting our finding is
available at EPA’s conformity Web site:
https://www.epa.gov/otaq/transp/
conform/adequacy.htm.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Throughout this document ‘‘we’’, ‘‘us’’,
or ‘‘our’’ are used to mean EPA.
This action is simply an
announcement of a finding that we have
already made. We sent a letter to the
Utah Division of Air Quality on May 2,
2005, stating that the motor vehicle
emission budget in the submitted
Ogden, Utah Carbon Monoxide
Maintenance Plan is adequate. This
finding has also been announced on our
conformity Web site at https://
www.epa.gov/otaq/transp/conform/
adequacy.htm.
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 SIPs and establishes
the criteria and procedures for
determining whether or not they
demonstrate conformity. 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). Please note that an
adequacy review is separate from our
completeness review, and it also should
not be used to prejudge our ultimate
approval of the SIP. Even if we find a
budget adequate, the SIP could later be
disapproved, and vice versa.
The process for determining the
adequacy of a transportation conformity
budget is described at 40 CFR 93.118(f).
For the reader’s ease, we have
excerpted the motor vehicle emission
budget from the Ogden, Utah Carbon
Monoxide Maintenance Plan and it is as
follows: Motor vehicle emissions budget
for the year 2021 is 73.02 tons per day
of CO. 40 CFR 93.118(e)(1) requires that
previously approved budgets for years
other than 2021 must still be used in
any conformity determination until the
maintenance plan is fully approved by
EPA.

Title: Minimum Monitoring Requirements for Direct and Indirect
Discharging Mills in the Bleached Papergrade Kraft and Soda Subcategory
and the Papergrade Sulfite Subcategory of the Pulp, Paper and
Paperboard Manufacturing Category (Renewal).
Abstract: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) imposed minimum
monitoring requirements on bleached papergrade kraft and soda (subpart
B) and papergrade sulfite
[[Page 30440]]
(subpart E) mills under 40 CFR part 430 as part of the effluent
limitations guidelines and standards promulgated on April 15, 1998. As
a result, the permitting and pretreatment control authority requires
applicable facilities subject to subparts B or E to monitor their
effluent for adsorbable organic halides (AOX), 2,3,7,8-
tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD), 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzofuran
(TCDF), chloroform, and 12 chlorinated phenolics at specified
frequencies. See 40 CFR 430.02. Under 40 CFR 122.41(e)(4), the
discharger must then report these monitoring results to the permitting
or pretreatment control authority using either Discharge Monitoring
Reports (DMRs) or Periodic Compliance Reports (PCRs). These minimum
monitoring requirements and corresponding reporting requirements are
necessary to demonstrate compliance with the effluent limitations
guidelines and standards promulgated at 40 CFR part 430, subparts B and
E.
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 in 40 CFR are listed in 40 CFR part 9 and are identified on
the form and/or instrument, if applicable.
Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 361
hours per response. 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.
Respondents/Affected Entities: Operations that chemically pulp wood
fiber using kraft or soda methods to produce bleached papergrade pulp,
paperboard, coarse paper, tissue paper, fine paper, and/or paperboard;
and those operations that chemically pump wood fiber using papergrade
sulfite methods to produce pulp and/or paper.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 138.
Frequency of Response: No less than annually for direct dischargers
and no less than twice annually for indirect dischargers.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 37,544.
Estimated Total Annual Cost: $15,086,000, which includes $0 annual
capital/startup costs, $13,819,000 annual O&M costs and $1,267,000
annual labor costs.
Changes in the Estimates: There is slight increase in the burden
hours currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR Burdens
which is due to an adjustment in the number of respondents. There is a
decrease in the annual cost due to the fact that the one-time capital
costs incurred under the original ICR are not included in this renewal
ICR.
