Environmental Impact Statements; Notice of Availability, 24006-24007 [E9-12012]

Download as PDF erowe on PROD1PC63 with NOTICES 24006 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 98 / Friday, May 22, 2009 / Notices impact associated with the use of cooling water intake structure(s). Burden Statement: The annual average reporting and recordkeeping burden for the existing collection of information by facilities responding to the Section 316(b) Phase III rule is estimated to be 921 hours per facility respondent (i.e., an annual average of 34,080 hours of burden divided among an annual average of 37 facilities). 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. The ICR provides a detailed explanation of the Agency’s estimate for the existing ICR, which is only briefly summarized here: Estimated total number of potential respondents: 37 facilities. Frequency of response: Every five years, ongoing. Estimated total average number of responses for each respondent: 4.2. Estimated total annual burden hours: 34,080 hours. Estimated total annual costs: $2,433,612. This includes an estimated labor burden cost of $1,836,559 and an estimated cost of $597,053 for capital investment or operations and maintenance. Change in the Estimates: This ICR estimates an annual average respondent burden of 34,080 hours, which represents a 3-fold increase (22,842 hours) in burden currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR Burdens. The change in burden results mainly from the shift from the approval period to the permit implementation and renewal period of the Section 316(b) Phase III rule. Because NPDES permits are issued every five years, this ICR covers the last two years of the initial permit approval period (i.e., years four and five after promulgation) and the first year of the renewal period (i.e., year six after promulgation). In this first year of the renewal period facilities will be applying for a permit for the first VerDate Nov<24>2008 14:18 May 21, 2009 Jkt 217001 time or re-applying for permit coverage that was obtained during the three years covered by the previous ICR. The activities to renew an NPDES permit are assumed to be less burdensome than those for issuing a permit for the first time. Dated: May 18, 2009.

ACTION: Notice of Intent to conduct a joint rulemaking. SUMMARY: There is a critically important need for our country to address global climate change and to reduce oil consumption. In this context, EPA and DOT currently intend to work in coordination to propose standards for control of emissions of greenhouse gases and for fuel economy, respectively. If proposed and finalized, these standards would apply to passenger cars, lightduty trucks, and medium-duty passenger vehicles (light-duty vehicles) built in model years 2012 through 2016. Together, these vehicle categories, which include passenger cars, sport utility vehicles, minivans, and pickup trucks, are responsible for almost 60 percent of all U.S. transportation-related greenhouse gas emissions. If ultimately adopted, these standards would represent a harmonized and consistent national policy pursuant to the separate statutory frameworks under which EPA and DOT operate. The approach addressed in this Notice, if ultimately adopted, is intended to allow manufacturers to build a single lightduty national fleet that would satisfy all requirements under both programs and would provide significant reductions in both greenhouse gas emissions and oil consumption.
