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 National Emission
Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants
(NESHAP) for Solvent Extraction for
Vegetable Oil Production were proposed
on May 26, 2000 (65 FR 34252), and
promulgated on April 21, 2001.
These standards apply to any existing,
reconstructed, or new vegetable oil
production process, which are defined
as a group of continuous process
equipment used to remove oil from
oilseeds through direct contact with an
organic solvent such as n-hexane. The
term ‘‘oilseed’’ refers to the following
agricultural products: corn germ,
cottonseed, flax, peanut, rapeseed
(source of canola oil), safflower,
soybean, and sunflower. A vegetable oil
production process is only subject to the
regulation if it is a major source of
hazardous air pollutant (HAP)
emissions, or is collocated with other
sources that are individually or
collectively a major source of HAP
emissions.
Notification reports are required upon
the construction, reconstruction, or
modification of any vegetable oil
production processor. Also required is
one-time-only initial notification for
existing, new and reconstructed sources,
and notification of an actual startup
date. Annual compliance reports are
required, along with a deviation report,
an immediate startup, shutdown, and
malfunction (SSM) report, and a
periodic SSM report. Affected entities
must retain reports and records for five
years.
Owners or operators of solvent
extraction for vegetable oil production
facilities subject to the rule must
maintain a file of these measurements,
and retain the file for at least five 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 63,
subpart GGGG, as authorized in section
VerDate Aug<31>2005
15:24 Apr 04, 2008
Jkt 214001
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 185 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:
Solvent extraction for vegetable oil
production.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
101.
Frequency of Response: Annually,
initially and occasionally.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:
39,385.
Estimated Total Annual Cost:
$2,512,947 in labor costs. There are no
annualized capital/startup and annual
O&M costs associated with this ICR.
Changes in the Estimates: There is no
change in the labor hours or cost in this
ICR compared to the previous ICR. This
is due to two considerations. First, the
regulations have not changed over the
past three years and are not anticipated
to change over the next three years.
Secondly, the growth rate for the
industry is very low, negative or nonexistent, so there is no significant
change in the overall burden.
Since there are no changes in the
regulatory requirements and there is no
significant industry growth, the labor
hours and cost figures in the previous
ICR are used in this ICR and there is no
change in burden to industry.

Clean Air Act Operating Permit
Program; Petition for Objection to
State Operating Permit for Kerr-McGee
Gathering, LLC—Frederick
Compressor Station
Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice of final action.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: This document announces
that the EPA Administrator has
responded to a citizen petition asking
EPA to object to an operating permit
issued by the Colorado Department of
Public Health and Environment
(CDPHE). Specifically, the
Administrator has granted the January 3,
2007 petition, submitted by Rocky
Mountain Clean Air Action (Petitioner),
to object to January 1, 2007 operating
permit issued to Kerr-McGee Gathering
to operate the Frederick Natural Gas
Compressor Station (Kerr-McGeeFrederick Station).
Pursuant to section 505(b)(2) of the
Clean Air Act (Act), Petitioners may
seek judicial review of those portions of
the petitions, which EPA denied in the
United States Court of Appeals for the
appropriate circuit. Any petition for
review shall be filed within 60 days
from the date this notice appears in the
Federal Register, pursuant to section
307 of the Act.
ADDRESSES: You may review copies of
the final Order, the petition, and other
supporting information at the EPA
Region 8, 1595 Wynkoop Street, Denver,
Colorado 80202–1129.
EPA requests that if at all possible,
you contact the individual listed in the
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT
section to view the copies of the final
order, the petition, and other supporting
information. You may view the hard
copies Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to
4 p.m., excluding Federal holidays. If
you wish to examine these documents,
you should make an appointment at
least 24 hours before the visiting day.

The Act
affords EPA a 45-day period to review,
and object to as appropriate, a Title V
operating permits proposed by State
permitting authorities. Section 505(b)(2)
of the Act authorizes any person to
petition the EPA Administrator, within
60 days after the expiration of this
review period, to object to a Title V
operating permit if EPA has not done so.
Petitions must be based only on
objections to the permit that were raised
with reasonable specificity during the
public comment period provided by the
State, unless the petitioner demonstrates
that it was impracticable to raise these
issues during the comment period or the
grounds for the issue arose after this
period.
The EPA received a petition from
Rocky Mountain Clean Air Action dated
January 3, 2007, requesting that EPA
object to the issuance of the Title V
operating permit to Kerr-McGee
Gathering, LLC for the operation of the
Frederick Natural Gas Compressor
Station for the following reasons: (I) The
Title V permit failed to assure
compliance with PSD requirements
because CDPHE failed to consider
whether emissions from adjacent and
interrelated pollutant emitting activities
triggered PSD review, specifically KerrMcGee owned natural gas wells that
supply gas to the Frederick Station; (II)
in light of CDPHE’s failure to consider
PSD compliance, it is likely that the
Title V permit must include a
compliance schedule; (III) CDPHE failed
to respond to significant comments
submitted by the Petitioner during the
Title V public comment period; and (IV)
CDPHE failed to consider adjacent and
interrelated pollutant emitting activities
in defining the ‘‘source’’ subject to Title
V.
On February 7, 2008, the
Administrator issued an order granting
the petition. The order explains the
reasons behind EPA’s conclusion to
grant the petition for objection.
