Title: Willingness to Pay Survey for
section 316(b) Phase III Cooling Water
Intake Structures: Instrument, Pre-test,
and Implementation
Abstract: The U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency is in the process of
developing new regulations to provide
national performance standards for
controlling impacts from cooling water
intake structures (CWIS) for Phase III
facilities under section 316(b) of the
Clean Water Act (CWA). Phase III under
Clean Water Act section 316(b)
regulations applies to facilities that
withdraw water for cooling purposes
from rivers, streams, lakes, reservoirs,
estuaries, oceans, or other waters of the
United States, and that are either
existing electrical generators with
cooling water intake structures that are
designed to withdraw 50 million gallons
of water per day (MGD) or less, or
existing manufacturing and industrial
facilities. The regulation also establishes
section 316(b) requirements for new
offshore oil and gas extraction facilities.
EPA has previously published final
section 316(b) regulations that address
new facilities (Phase I) on December 18,
2001 (66 FR 65256) and existing large
power producers (Phase II) on July 9,
2004 (69 FR 41576). See 40 CFR part
125, subparts I and J, respectively.
As required under Executive Order
12866, EPA is conducting economic
impact and cost-benefit analyses for the
section 316(b) regulation for Phase III
facilities. Comprehensive, estimates of
total resource value include both use
and non-use values, such that the
resulting total social benefit estimates
may be compared to total social cost.
Many public comments on the proposed
section 316(b) regulation for Phase II
facilities and the Phase II Notice of Data
Availability suggested that a properly
designed and conducted stated
preference, or contingent valuation

15:28 Nov 25, 2005
Jkt 208001
(CV), survey would be the most
appropriate and acceptable method to
estimate the non-use benefits of the rule.
Stated preference survey methodology is
the generally accepted means to
estimate non-use values. To assess
public policy significance or importance
of the ecological gains from the section
316(b) regulation for Phase III facilities,
EPA proposes to conduct a stated
preference study to measure non-use
benefits of reduced fish losses at CWIS
due to the regulation.
The survey will ask respondents to
choose how they would vote, if
presented with two different
hypothetical regulatory options
characterized by (a) changes in annual
impingement and entrainment losses of
fish and other organisms, (b) effects on
long-term fish populations, (c) effects on
recreational and commercial catch, and
(d) an unavoidable cost of living
increase for the respondent’s household.
Respondents will be allowed to ‘‘vote’’
for one of the presented regulatory
options, or to choose not to vote for
either option. The survey will also ask
respondents to answer questions about
their reasons for voting, their level of
concern about various policy issues, and
their affiliations and recreational
activities.
Survey subjects will be randomly
selected from a representative national
panel of respondents maintained by
Knowledge Networks, an online survey
company. Subjects will be asked to
complete a web-based questionnaire.
Participation in the survey is voluntary.
Additionally, EPA will conduct nonresponse follow-up interviews with 600
individuals, and will use statistical
techniques to correct for unobserved
heterogeneity in the survey data.
To assist in the development of this
stated preference survey, EPA
previously obtained approval from the
Office of Management and Budget to
conduct a series of twelve focus groups
with a total of 96 respondents (see EPA
ICR number 2155.01, OMB number
2040–0262.
EPA received several comments on
the proposed ICR for this survey. Many
comments provided specific reasons
why the survey might overestimate or
underestimate willingness to pay to
prevent fish losses. Almost all of these
comments have been addressed through
the focus groups and cognitive
interviews, which have helped the
Agency to improve the survey.
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

Title: NSPS for Bulk Gasoline
Terminals (Renewal).
Abstract: The New Source
Performance Standards (NSPS) were
proposed on December 17, 1980 and
promulgated on August 18, 1983, and
amended on December 22, 1983. These
standards apply to the total of all
loading racks at bulk gasoline terminals
that deliver liquid product into gasoline
tank trucks and for which construction,
modification or reconstruction
commenced after the date of proposal. A
bulk gasoline terminal is any gasoline
facility that receives gasoline by
pipeline, ship or barge, and has a
gasoline throughput greater than 75,700
liters per day. The affected facility
includes the loading arms, pumps,
meters, shutoff valves, relief valves, and
other piping and valves necessary to fill
delivery tank trucks. Volatile organic
chemicals (VOCs) are the pollutants
regulated under this subpart.
Owners or operators of the affected
facilities described must make the
following one-time-only reports:
notification of the date of construction
or reconstruction; notification of the
anticipated and actual dates of startup;
notification of any physical or
operational change to an existing facility
that may increase the regulated
PO 00000
Frm 00031
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
pollutant emission rate; notification of
the date of the initial performance test;
and the results of the initial
performance test. Owners or operators
are also required to maintain 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
notifications, reports and records are
required, in general, of all sources
subject to NSPS.
Monitoring requirements specific to
bulk gasoline terminals are listed in 40
CFR 60.505. These requirements consist
of identifying and documenting vapor
tightness for each gasoline tank truck
that is loaded at the affected facility,
and notifying the owner or operator of
each tank truck that is not vapor-tight.
The owner or operator must also
perform a monthly visual inspection for
liquid or vapor leaks, and maintain
records of these inspections at the
facility.
This information is being collected to
assure compliance with 40 CFR part 60,
subpart XX. Any owner or operator
subject to the provisions of this part will
maintain a file of these records, and
retain the file for at least two years
following the date of such records. The
reporting requirements for this industry
currently include only the initial
notifications and initial performance
test report listed above. All reports are
sent to the delegated state or local
authority. In the event that there is no
such delegated authority, the reports are
sent directly to the EPA regional office.
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,
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 329 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; to
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; to adjust the
existing ways to comply with any
previously applicable instructions and
requirements; to train personnel to be
E:\FR\FM\28NON1.SGM
28NON1
Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 227 / Monday, November 28, 2005 / Notices
able to respond to a collection of
information; to search data sources; to
complete and review the collection of
information; and to transmit or
otherwise disclose the information.
Respondents/Affected Entities: Bulk
gasoline terminals with affected
facilities including loading arms,
pumps, meters, shutoff valves, relief
valves, and other piping.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
40.
Frequency of Response: Initially and
on occasion.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:
3,168 hours.
Estimated Total Annual Costs:
$1,062,809, which includes $0
annualized Capital expense/Startup
costs, $0 annual Operation and
Maintenance costs, and $1,062,809
Respondent Labor costs per year.
Changes in the Estimates: There is an
increase of 1,748 hours in the total
estimated industry burden currently
identified in the OMB Inventory of
Approved ICR Burdens.
This increase in labor burden is due
to a correction of the frequency of
recording leak detection inspection data
from one occurrence per year to
monthly occurrences as required by the
rule and the inclusion of labor hours for
the management and clerical employees.
The total industry cost also increased
from $631,983 to $1,062,809 as a result
of these changes and the use of an
updated technical labor rate.

Title: Reporting Requirements Under
EPA’s Voluntary Aluminum Industrial
Partnership (VAIP) (Renewal).
Abstract: EPA’s Voluntary Aluminum
Industrial Partnership (VAIP) was
initiated in 1995 and is an important
voluntary program contributing to the
overall reduction in emissions of
greenhouse gases. This program focuses
on reducing direct greenhouse gas
emissions including perfluorocarbon
(PFC) and carbon dioxide (CO2)
emissions from the production of
primary aluminum. Seven of the eight
U.S. producers of primary aluminum
participate in this program. PFCs are
very potent greenhouse gases with
global warming potentials several
thousand times that of carbon dioxide
and they persist in the atmosphere for
thousands of years. CO2 is emitted from
consumption of the carbon anode. EPA
has developed this ICR to renew
authorization to collect information
from companies in the VAIP.
Participants voluntarily agree to the
following: Designating a VAIP liaison;
undertaking technically feasible and
cost-effective actions to reduce PFC and
direct CO2 emissions; and reporting to
EPA, on an annual basis, the PFC and
CO2 emissions or production parameters
use to estimate emissions. The

Title: NSPS for Bulk Gasoline Terminals (Renewal).
Abstract: The New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) were proposed
on December 17, 1980 and promulgated on August 18, 1983, and amended on
December 22, 1983. These standards apply to the total of all loading
racks at bulk gasoline terminals that deliver liquid product into
gasoline tank trucks and for which construction, modification or
reconstruction commenced after the date of proposal. A bulk gasoline
terminal is any gasoline facility that receives gasoline by pipeline,
ship or barge, and has a gasoline throughput greater than 75,700 liters
per day. The affected facility includes the loading arms, pumps,
meters, shutoff valves, relief valves, and other piping and valves
necessary to fill delivery tank trucks. Volatile organic chemicals
(VOCs) are the pollutants regulated under this subpart.
Owners or operators of the affected facilities described must make
the following one-time-only reports: notification of the date of
construction or reconstruction; notification of the anticipated and
actual dates of startup; notification of any physical or operational
change to an existing facility that may increase the regulated
pollutant emission rate; notification of the date of the initial
performance test; and the results of the initial performance test.
Owners or operators are also required to maintain 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 notifications, reports and
records are required, in general, of all sources subject to NSPS.
Monitoring requirements specific to bulk gasoline terminals are
listed in 40 CFR 60.505. These requirements consist of identifying and
documenting vapor tightness for each gasoline tank truck that is loaded
at the affected facility, and notifying the owner or operator of each
tank truck that is not vapor-tight. The owner or operator must also
perform a monthly visual inspection for liquid or vapor leaks, and
maintain records of these inspections at the facility.
This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40
CFR part 60, subpart XX. Any owner or operator subject to the
provisions of this part will maintain a file of these records, and
retain the file for at least two years following the date of such
records. The reporting requirements for this industry currently include
only the initial notifications and initial performance test report
listed above. All reports are sent to the delegated state or local
authority. In the event that there is no such delegated authority, the
reports are sent directly to the EPA regional office.
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, 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 329
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; to 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; to
adjust the existing ways to comply with any previously applicable
instructions and requirements; to train personnel to be
[[Page 71293]]
able to respond to a collection of information; to search data sources;
to complete and review the collection of information; and to transmit
or otherwise disclose the information.
Respondents/Affected Entities: Bulk gasoline terminals with
affected facilities including loading arms, pumps, meters, shutoff
valves, relief valves, and other piping.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 40.
Frequency of Response: Initially and on occasion.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 3,168 hours.
Estimated Total Annual Costs: $1,062,809, which includes $0
annualized Capital expense/Startup costs, $0 annual Operation and
Maintenance costs, and $1,062,809 Respondent Labor costs per year.
Changes in the Estimates: There is an increase of 1,748 hours in
the total estimated industry burden currently identified in the OMB
Inventory of Approved ICR Burdens.
This increase in labor burden is due to a correction of the
frequency of recording leak detection inspection data from one
occurrence per year to monthly occurrences as required by the rule and
the inclusion of labor hours for the management and clerical employees.
The total industry cost also increased from $631,983 to $1,062,809 as a
result of these changes and the use of an updated technical labor rate.
