Title: NSPS for Electric Utility Steam
Generating Units (Renewal).
ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number
1053.09, OMB Control Number 2060–
0023.
ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to
expire on October 31, 2007. Under OMB
regulations, the Agency may continue to
conduct or sponsor the collection of
information while this submission is
pending at OMB. 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 title 40 of the CFR, after
appearing in the Federal Register when
approved, are listed in 40 CFR part 9,
and displayed either by publication in
the Federal Register or by other
appropriate means, such as on the
related collection instrument or form, if
applicable. The display of OMB control
numbers in certain EPA regulations is
consolidated in 40 CFR part 9.
Abstract: The respondents to this
information collection are owners or
operators of electric utility steam
generating units subject to the New
Source Performance Standards (NSPS)
subpart Da. These regulations apply to
electric utility steam generating units
which are capable of combusting more
than 73 megawatts (MW) heat input of
fossil fuel commencing construction,
modification, or reconstruction after the
date of proposal. This information will
be used by enforcement agencies to
verify that sources subject to the
standard are meeting the emission
reductions mandated by the Clean Air
Act.
Owners/operators of electric utility
steam generating facilities are required
to submit one-time notification of
construction/reconstruction, anticipated
and actual startup, initial performance
test, physical or operational changes,
and demonstration of a continuous
monitoring system. Respondents are
also required to submit a report on
initial performance test results,
monitoring results, and excess
emissions. Records must be maintained
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
VerDate Aug<31>2005

Jkt 211001
system is inoperative. Semiannual and
quarterly reports are also required.
These notifications, reports, and records
are essential in determining compliance;
and are required, in general, of all
sources subject to NSPS.
Any owner or operator subject to the
provisions of this part shall maintain a
file of these measurements, and retain
the file for at least two years following
the date of such measurements,
maintenance reports and records. 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. This information is
being collected to assure compliance
with 40 CFR part 60, subpart Da as
authorized in section 112 and 114(a) of
the Clean Air Act. The required
information consists of emissions data
and other information that have been
determined to be private.
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
Number 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 96 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 which have subsequently
changed; 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:
Electric utility steam generating units.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
677.
Frequency of Response: Initially,
quarterly and semiannually.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:
160,839.
Estimated Total Annual Cost:
$26,675,248, which includes $2,200,000
annualized Capital Startup costs,
PO 00000
Frm 00054
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
54033
$10,155,000 annualized Operating and
Maintenance (O&M) costs, and
$14,320,248 annualized Labor costs.
Changes in the Estimates: There is an
increase in the total estimated burden as
currently identified in the OMB
Inventory of Approved Burdens. This
increase is not due to any program
changes. The change in the burden and
cost estimates occurred because the
active ICR did not account for
managerial and clerical burden. Also,
the hourly labor rate used was not
consistent with the rates for that year
which created a calculation error which
this renewal has corrected. There is also
an increase in the number of sources,
thus contributing to the increase in
burden hours and costs.

Title: Application Requirements for
the Approval and Delegation of Federal
Air Toxics Programs to State, Territorial,
Local, and Tribal Agencies.
ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 1643.06,
OMB Control No. 2060–0264.
ICR status: This ICR is currently
scheduled to expire on September 30,
2007. Under OMB regulations, the
Agency may continue to conduct or
sponsor the collection of information
while this submission is pending at
OMB. 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 title 40
of the CFR, after appearing in the
Federal Register when approved, are
listed in 40 CFR part 9, are displayed
either by publication in the Federal
Register or by other appropriate means,
such as on the related collection
instrument or form, if applicable. The
display of OMB control numbers in
certain EPA regulations is consolidated
in 40 CFR part 9.
Abstract: This information collection
is an application from State, territorial,
local, or tribal agencies (S/L/Ts) for
delegation of regulations developed
under section 112 of the Clean Air Act
(Act). The five options for delegation are
straight delegation, rule adjustment, rule
substitution, equivalency by permit, or
state program approval. The information
is needed and used to determine if the
entity submitting an application has met
the criteria established in the subpart E
rule, codified as 40 CFR part 63, subpart
E, in accordance with section 112(l) of
the Act. This information is necessary
and required for the Administrator to
determine the acceptability of approving
the S/L/T’s rules, requirements or
programs in lieu of the Federal section
112 rules or programs. Additionally, it
is also necessary for the proper
performance of our function, and will be
used to ensure that the subpart E
approval criteria have been met. The
collection of information is authorized
under 42 U.S.C. 7401–7671q.
Burden Statement: We estimate the
annual public reporting and
recordkeeping burden for this collection
of information to average about 507
hours per S/L/T and 41 hours per
application. 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 which have
subsequently changed; 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: State,
territorial, local, or tribal agencies.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
124 S/L/Ts for maximum achievable
control technology standards and 99 S/
L/Ts for area source standards per year.
Frequency of Response: Occasionally,
one time per delegation request.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: 62,844.
Estimated Total Annual: $3,012,600.
This includes an estimated labor burden
cost of $2,959,000 and an estimated cost
of $53,600 for operation and
maintenance costs.
Changes in the Estimate: There is an
increase of 21,267 hours in the total
estimated respondent annual burden
compared with that identified in the ICR
currently approved by OMB.
This increase reflects the increase in
number of delegation applications
related to the number of standards
delegated and a change in the
distribution of S/L/Ts using each
option.

Respondents/Affected Entities: State, territorial, local, or tribal
agencies.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 124 S/L/Ts for maximum achievable
control technology standards and 99 S/L/Ts for area source standards
per year.
Frequency of Response: Occasionally, one time per delegation
request.
Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 62,844.
Estimated Total Annual: $3,012,600. This includes an estimated
labor burden cost of $2,959,000 and an estimated cost of $53,600 for
operation and maintenance costs.
Changes in the Estimate: There is an increase of 21,267 hours in
the total estimated respondent annual burden compared with that
identified in the ICR currently approved by OMB.
This increase reflects the increase in number of delegation
applications related to the number of standards delegated and a change
in the distribution of S/L/Ts using each option.
