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 18:17 Sep 20, 2007 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. Dated: September 12, 2007.

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 PO 00000 Frm 00055 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 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.

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.
