ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to
expire on October 31, 2009. 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.

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

August 30, 1999, and small MWC units
commencing reconstruction or
modification after June 6, 2001, that
combust greater than 35 tons per day
(tpd) but less than 250 tpd of municipal
solid waste. This information collection
is required as a result of the
implementation of the New Source
Performance Standards developed
under the authority of sections 111 and
129 of the Clean Air Act. The
regulations require initial notifications,
performance tests, and periodic reports.
Owners or operators also are 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. Owners and operators of
small MWCs are required to measure,
record, and report emission rates and
operating parameters, follow good
combustion practices, and submit a
siting analysis. Owners or operators
subject to these regulations are required
to maintain records of measurements
and reports for at least five years.
Burden Statement: The annual public
reporting and recordkeeping burden for
this collection of information is
estimated to average 1,108 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: Small
Municipal Waste Combustors.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 2.
Frequency of Response: Initially,
semiannually, annually, and on
occasion.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:
9,975.
Estimated Total Annual Cost:
$1,087,204, which includes $938,068 in
labor costs, $66,000 in capital/start-up

[A–1–FRL–8964–3]
Notice of Prevention of Significant
Deterioration; Final Determination for
Dominion Energy Brayton Point,
Somerset, MA
AGENCY: Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice of final action.
SUMMARY: This notice announces that on
May 13, 2009, the Environmental
Appeals Board (‘‘EAB’’) of EPA denied
review of the petition for review of a
Prevention of Significant Deterioration
(‘‘PSD’’) permit (‘‘Permit’’) that EPA
New England issued to Dominion
Energy Brayton Point, LLC
(‘‘Dominion’’). The Permit was issued
pursuant to the PSD regulations under
40 CFR 52.21.
DATES: The effective date of the EAB’s
decision, and the Permit, is May 13,
2009. Pursuant to Section 307(b)(1) of
the Clean Air Act (‘‘CAA’’), 42 U.S.C.
7607(b)(1), judicial review of this permit
decision, to the extent it is available,
may be sought by filing a petition for
review in the United States Court of
Appeals for the First Circuit within
November 30, 2009.
ADDRESSES: The relevant documents for
the Permit are available for public
inspection during normal business
hours at the following address: U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency, EPA
New England Regional Office, One
Congress Street, Boston, MA 02114–

We are notifying the public of a final
decision by the EAB on the Permit
issued by EPA New England pursuant to
the PSD regulations found at 40 CFR
52.21.
II. What Is the Background
Information?
Dominion operates an existing coalfired electric generating station in
Somerset, Massachusetts. In March
2003, Massachusetts ended its
agreement with EPA to implement the
PSD program. Based on this action and
since Massachusetts did not
subsequently request PSD delegation,
EPA is currently the PSD permitting
authority within Massachusetts.
Dominion submitted a PSD
application to EPA New England
requesting approval to construct and
operate two new cooling water towers at
its facility in Somerset, Massachusetts.
After consideration of the PSD
application, EPA New England issued
the draft Permit on January 28, 2009, for
public review and comment. On April 2,
2009, after providing an opportunity for
public comment and a public hearing on
March 2, 2009, EPA issued the final
Permit. The Permit limits particulate
matter of 10 microns or less in size and
particulate matter of 2.5 microns or less
in size from each cooling water towers
to 1,066 pounds per day. Subsequent to
the issuance of the revised Permit, the
EAB received a petition requesting
review of the Permit. The EAB denied
review of the petition.
III. What Did the EAB Decide?
The petition, which was filed by
Bristol County Broadcasting,
Incorporated, argued that the cooling
water towers would have a significant
adverse affect on the petitioner’s AM
radio transmissions. The EAB denied
review of this petition on two points.
First, the petition did not challenge any
provision of the Permit governing air
emissions of regulated pollutants.
Second, the petitioner did not
participate in the permitting process
during the public comment period for
the Permit. Readers interested in more
detail on the appeal issues raised by the
petitioner and the reasons for the EAB’s
denial of review may download EAB’s
Order Denying Review from the EAB
Web site at https://www.epa.gov/eab.
Pursuant to 40 CFR 124.19(f)(1), for
purposes of judicial review, final agency
action occurs when a final PSD permit
is issued and agency review procedures

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 9,975.
Estimated Total Annual Cost: $1,087,204, which includes $938,068 in
labor costs, $66,000 in capital/start-up costs, and operation and
maintenance costs of $83,136.
Changes in the Estimates: The adjustment decrease in burden from
the most recently approved ICR is an adjustment due to a decrease in
the number of respondents, from three to two.
Dated: September 26, 2009.
