Specifically, Equitrans proposes to modify and uprate its compressor units at the Pratt Compressor Station and to upgrade and increase the capacity of its upstream facilities that deliver into the Pratt Compressor Station. Equitrans states that the central purpose of this proposal is to meet market demand for an additional 92,000 dekatherms (Dth) per day of firm, off-system delivery capacity through the Pratt Compressor Station into downstream, interstate transmission systems operated by Texas Eastern Transmission LP (Texas Eastern), Dominion Transmission, Inc. (DTI), and Columbia Gas Transmission (Columbia). Equitrans asserts that the proposed upgrade and expansion of the subject facilities will create an additional 77,300 Dth per day of potential firm capacity. Additionally, Equitrans proposes to test, replace and/ or modify certain segments of its pipeline system to increase the maximum allowable operating pressure (MAOP) of its Low Pressure West System (LPW System) originating at the West Union Station to 605 pounds per square inch gauge (psig) and the MAOP of the Low Pressure East System (LPE System) originating at the Copley Station to 655 psig. Equitrans states that the modifications to the LPW System will provide an additional 51,200 Dth per day of potential capacity and the modifications to the LPE System will provide an additional 26,100 Dth per day of potential capacity. Equitrans states that the estimated cost of the subject facilities is approximately $9,710,241. Any questions regarding the application should be directed to Joseph M.

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: NESHAP for Oil and Natural Gas Production (40 CFR part 63, subpart HH) (Renewal), were proposed on February 06, 1998, and promulgated on June 17, 1999, only for major sources. On July 8, 2005, a supplemental proposal was proposed for area sources with the final rule effective date on January 03, 2007. This regulation applies to existing and new facilities that are both major and area sources. A major source of hazardous air pollutants (HAP) is one that has the potential to emit, 10 tons or more of any one hazardous air pollutant or 25 tons or more of total HAP per year; an area source is one with the potential to emit less than this. Owners and operators of a new and existing area source are subject to the General Provision (40 CFR part 63, subpart A). In general, all NESHAP standards require initial notifications, performance tests, and periodic reports by the owners/operators of the affected facilities. They are also 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. These notifications, reports, and records are essential in determining compliance, and are required of all affected facilities subject to NESHAP. Semiannual summary reports are also required. Any owner or operator subject to the provisions of this subpart must maintain a file of these measurements, and retain the file for at least five years following the collection 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 HH, as authorized in sections 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.

The OMB Control Number for EPA regulations listed in 40 CFR part 9 and 48 CFR chapter 15, 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 75 hours per response. Burden means the total time, effort, or financial resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or disclose, and 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. All existing ways will have to adjust to comply with any previously applicable instructions and requirements that 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: Oil and natural gas production. Estimated Number of Respondents: 132,527. Frequency of Response: Initially, annually, and semiannually. Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 178,974. Estimated Total Annual Cost: $17,243,906, which includes $16,649,703 in labor costs, $23,445 in capital/startup costs, and $570,758 in operation and maintenance (O&M) costs. Changes in the Estimates: There is a decrease in the labor hours in this ICR as compared to the previous one. This ICR combines two ICRs covering major sources and area sources. The new area source standard required initial notification by a large number of respondents. In this ICR, such notifications are not required; therefore the number of labor hours is reduced. It should be noted that this ICR includes a large number of sources that are subject only to the recordkeeping requirements of this regulation and do not report to the agency. This ICR addresses capital/startup and O&M costs for both major sources, and area sources. Therefore, the capital/ startup and O&M costs are higher.

ACTION: Notice. SUMMARY: The EPA is hereby granting a project waiver of the Buy American requirements of ARRA Section 1605 under the authority of Section 1605(b)(2) [manufactured goods are not produced in the United States of a satisfactory quality] to Auburn for the purchase of a Hydroself model HS40 flushing gate system. This is a projectspecific waiver and only applies to the use of the specified product for the ARRA funded project being proposed. Any other ARRA project that may wish to use the same product must apply for a separate waiver based on projectspecific circumstances. These flushing gates, which are supplied by Gabriel Novac & Associates Inc, are manufactured in Canada, and meet Auburn’s performance specifications and requirements. The Acting Regional Administrator is making this determination based on the review and recommendations of EPA Region 5’s Water Division. Auburn has provided sufficient documentation to support its request. The Assistant Administrator of the Office of Administration and Resources Management has concurred on this decision to make an exception to Section 1605 of ARRA. This action permits the purchase of a flushing gate system for Auburn’s ‘‘Long Term Control Plan Store-Treat Facility Project’’ that may otherwise be prohibited under Section 1605(a) of the ARRA.

Jackson Blvd., Chicago, IL 60613. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In accordance with ARRA Section 1605(c) and pursuant to Section 1605(b)(2) of Public Law 111–5, Buy American requirements, EPA hereby provides notice that it is granting a project waiver to Auburn for the acquisition of a flushing gate system which is manufactured in Canada. The manufacturer is Gabriel Novac & Associates Inc. Section 1605 of the ARRA requires that none of the appropriated funds may be used for the construction, alteration, maintenance, or repair of a public building or public work unless all of the iron, steel, and manufactured goods used in the project are produced in the United States, or unless a waiver is provided to the recipient by the head of the appropriate agency, here EPA. A waiver may be provided if EPA determines that (1) Applying these requirements would be inconsistent with the public interest; (2) iron, steel, and the relevant manufactured goods are not produced in the United States in sufficient and reasonably available quantities and of a satisfactory quality; or (3) inclusion of iron, steel, and the relevant manufactured goods produced in the United States will increase the cost of the overall project by more than 25 percent. Auburn proposes to construct a ‘‘Long Term Control Plan Store-Treat Facility Project’’ at the Auburn Water Pollution Control Facility on Wayne Street in Auburn. The project is part of Auburn’s 20- year Long Term Control Plan to reduce combined sewer overflows (CSO’s). This project will provide storage volume for excess combined sewer flows in a storage tank during rain events which would have previously discharged to Cedar Creek. After the rain event, the excess sewer flow will be treated at the Water Pollution Control Facility. Proper maintenance of the storage tank will require periodic cleaning, to remove solids that settle at the bottom of the tank. Auburn proposes to use a flushing gate system to remove settled solids from the tank. The flushing gate system holds sewer overflow water in reserve in compartments at the upstream end of the storage tank. This flush water, released by a patented mechanism, gives rise to a high celerity wave that effectively removes all accumulated debris in basins and interceptors over flushway lengths greater than any other available method.

    ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 1788.09, OMB Control Number 2060-0388.
    ICR Status: This ICR is schedule to expire on February 28, 2010. 
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: NESHAP for Oil and Natural Gas Production (40 CFR part 
63, subpart HH) (Renewal), were proposed on February 06, 1998, and 
promulgated on June 17, 1999, only for major sources. On July 8, 2005, 
a supplemental proposal was proposed for area sources with the final 
rule effective date on January 03, 2007. This regulation applies to 
existing and new facilities that are both major and area sources. A 
major source of hazardous air pollutants (HAP) is one that has the 
potential to emit, 10 tons or more of any one hazardous air pollutant 
or 25 tons or more of total HAP per year; an area source is one with 
the potential to emit less than this.
    Owners and operators of a new and existing area source are subject 
to the General Provision (40 CFR part 63, subpart A). In general, all 
NESHAP standards require initial notifications, performance tests, and 
periodic reports by the owners/operators of the affected facilities. 
They are also 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. These notifications, reports, and records are essential 
in determining compliance, and are required of all affected facilities 
subject to NESHAP. Semiannual summary reports are also required.
    Any owner or operator subject to the provisions of this subpart 
must maintain a file of these measurements, and retain the file for at 
least five years following the collection 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 HH, as 
authorized in sections 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 
regulations listed in 40 CFR part 9 and 48 CFR chapter 15, 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 75 
hours per response. Burden means the total time, effort, or financial 
resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or 
disclose, and 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. All 
existing ways will have to adjust to comply with any previously 
applicable instructions and requirements that 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: Oil and natural gas production.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 132,527.
    Frequency of Response: Initially, annually, and semiannually.
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 178,974.
    Estimated Total Annual Cost: $17,243,906, which includes 
$16,649,703 in labor costs, $23,445 in capital/startup costs, and 
$570,758 in operation and maintenance (O&M) costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is a decrease in the labor hours in 
this ICR as compared to the previous one. This ICR combines two ICRs 
covering major sources and area sources. The new area source standard 
required initial notification by a large number of respondents. In this 
ICR, such notifications are not required; therefore the number of labor 
hours is reduced. It should be noted that this ICR includes a large 
number of sources that are subject only to the recordkeeping 
requirements of this regulation and do not report to the agency.
    This ICR addresses capital/startup and O&M costs for both major 
sources, and area sources. Therefore, the capital/startup and O&M costs 
are higher.
