Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 62 / Thursday, April 1, 2010 / Notices
ACTION: Notice of adequacy
determination.
SUMMARY: EPA is notifying the public
that it has found that the motor vehicle
emissions budgets (MVEB) in the
Beaumont-Port Arthur, Texas (BPA)
Redesignation Request/Maintenance
Plan State Implementation Plan (SIP)
revision, submitted on December 16,
2008, by the Texas Commission on
Environmental Quality (TCEQ) are
adequate for transportation conformity
purposes. As a result of EPA’s finding,
the BPA area must use these budgets for
future conformity determinations for the
1997 8-hour ozone standard.
DATES: These budgets are effective April
16, 2010.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
The essential information in this
notice will be available at EPA’s
conformity Web site: https://
www.epa.gov/otaq/stateresources/
transconf/adequacy.htm. You may also
contact Mr. Jeffrey Riley, Air Planning
Section (6PD–L), U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency, Region 6, 1445 Ross

address: Riley.Jeffrey@epa.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Throughout this document ‘‘we,’’ ‘‘us,’’
and ‘‘our’’ refers to EPA. The word
‘‘budget(s)’’ refers to the mobile source
emissions budget for volatile organic
compounds (VOCs) and the mobile
source emissions budget for nitrogen
oxides (NOX).
On December 16, 2008, we received a
State Implementation Plan (SIP)
revision from the Texas Commission on
Environmental Quality (TCEQ). This
revision consisted of a Redesignation
Request/Maintenance Plan SIP for the
Beaumont-Port Arthur (BPA) ozone
nonattainment area. This submission
established the motor vehicle emissions
budgets (MVEB) for the BPA area for the
year 2021. The MVEB is the amount of
emissions allowed in the state
implementation plan for on-road motor
vehicles; it establishes an emissions
ceiling for the regional transportation
network. The MVEB is provided in
Table 1:

On April 15, 2009, EPA posted the
availability of the BPA area budget on
EPA’s Web site, as part of the adequacy
process, for the purpose of soliciting
public comments. The comment period
closed on May 15, 2009, and we
received no comments.
Today’s notice is simply an
announcement of a finding that EPA has
already made. EPA Region 6 sent a letter
to TCEQ on March 4, 2010, finding that
the MVEB in the BPA Redesignation
Request/Maintenance Plan SIP,
submitted on December 16, 2008, is
adequate and must be used for
transportation conformity
determinations in the BPA area. This
finding has also been announced on
EPA’s conformity Web site: https://
www.epa.gov/otaq/stateresources/
transconf/adequacy.htm.
Transportation conformity is required
by section 176(c) of the Clean Air Act.
EPA’s conformity rule, 40 Code of
Federal Regulations (CFR) part 93,
requires that transportation plans,
programs and projects conform to state
air quality implementation plans and
establishes the criteria and procedures
for determining whether or not they do
so. Conformity to a SIP means that
transportation activities will not
produce new air quality violations,
worsen existing violations, or delay
timely attainment of the national
ambient air quality standards.
The criteria by which EPA determines
whether a SIP’s MVEB is adequate for
transportation conformity purposes are
outlined in 40 CFR 93.118(e)(4). We
have also described the process for
determining the adequacy of submitted
SIP budgets in our July 1, 2004, final
rulemaking entitled, ‘‘Transportation
Conformity Rule Amendments for the
New 8-hour Ozone and PM2.5 National
Ambient Air Quality Standards and
Miscellaneous Revisions for Existing
Areas; Transportation Conformity Rule
Amendments: Response to Court
Decision and Additional Rule Changes’’
(69 FR 40004). Please note that an
adequacy review is separate from EPA’s
completeness review, and it should not
be used to prejudge EPA’s ultimate
approval of the BPA Redesignation
Request/Maintenance Plan SIP revision
submittal. Even if EPA finds a budget
adequate, the Redesignation Request/
Maintenance Plan SIP revision
submittal could later be disapproved.
Within 24 months from the effective
date of this notice, the transportation
partners will need to demonstrate
conformity to the new MVEB if the
demonstration has not already been
made, pursuant to 40 CFR 93.104(e).

ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number
1160.09, OMB Control Number 2060–
0114.
ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to
expire on May 31, 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 the EPA
regulations in title 40 of the CFR, after
appearing in the Federal Register when
approved, are listed in 40 CFR part 9,
VerDate Nov<24>2008

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 NSPS for Wool
Fiberglass Insulation Manufacturing
Plants, published at 40 CFR part 60,
subpart PPP, were proposed on
February 7, 1984 and promulgated on
February 25, 1985, and the NESHAP for
Wool Fiberglass Manufacturing,
published at 40 CFR part 63, subpart
NNN, were proposed on March 31, 1997
and promulgated on June 14, 1999.
Owners or operators of the affected
facilities must make an initial
notification, performance tests, periodic
reports, and 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. Reports, at a
minimum, are required semiannually.
Burden Statement: The annual public
reporting and recordkeeping burden for
this collection of information is
estimated to average 103 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: Wool
fiberglass insulation manufacturing
plants.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
61.
Frequency of Response: Initially,
occasionally, and semiannually.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:
18,599.
Estimated Total Annual Cost:
$2,233,940, which includes $1,745,440
in labor costs, no capital/startup costs,
and $488,500 in operation and
maintenance (O&M) costs.
Changes in the Estimates: There is a
small increase in the total labor hours
for this ICR, due to an adjustment. The
PO 00000
Frm 00037
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
previous ICR did not include managerial
and clerical hours for 40 CFR part 60,
subpart PPP. This adjustment also
results in a slight increase in the per
respondent labor hours, from 101 to 103
hours per response.
Although these adjustments resulted
in an increase in calculated burden
hours, the regulations have not changed
over the past three years and are not
anticipated to change over the next
three years. Additionally, the growth
rate for the respondents is very low,
negative or non-existent.
There is an increase in both
respondent and Agency costs resulting
from labor rate increases. This ICR has
been updated to present the most recent
available labor rates.
