On March 18, 2010, the United States District Court for the Southern District of Illinois entered a consent decree (‘‘decree’’) resolving claims of the United States and twelve states or state agencies against Lafarge North America, Inc.’s, Lafarge Midwest, Inc.’s, and Lafarge Building Materials, Inc.’s (‘‘Lafarge’s’’) for alleged violations of the Clean Air Act (‘‘CAA’’ or ‘‘Act’’) at its thirteen portland cement production facilities in the United States. Specifically, the consent decree resolved alleged violations of the Act’s Prevention of Significant Deterioration (‘‘PSD’’) provisions, 42 U.S.C. 7470–92; Nonattainment New Source Review (‘‘NNSR’’) provisions, 42 U.S.C. 7501– 15; the federally approved and enforceable state implementation plans (‘‘SIPs’’) which incorporate and/or implement the above-listed Federal PSD and/or NNSR requirements; and the CAA Title V operating permit requirements, 42 U.S.C. 7661–61f, including Title V’s implementing federal and state regulations.

In addition, the proposed Amendment requires Lafarge to: (1) Install single Wet FGD three months earlier than currently required in the decree for one of the Alpena cement kilns; (2) design the Wet FGD to collect the combined SO2 emissions from both Kilns 22 and 23 at Lafarge’s Alpena facility; and (3) develop a malfunction abatement plan, subject to EPA and state approval under the decree, intended to minimize emissions in the event of a malfunction of each Wet FGD at Ravena and Alpena.

SUMMARY: FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Contact Michel Smyth by telephone at 202–693–4129 (this is not a toll-free number) or by e-mail at DOL_PRA_PUBLIC@dol.gov. Regulation 30 CFR 57.5040 requires mine operators to calculate and record individual exposures to radon daughters on MSHA Form 4000–9 ‘‘Record of Individual Exposure to Radon Daughters’’. The calculations are based on the results of the weekly sampling required by 30 CFR 57.5037. Records must be maintained by the operator and submitted to the MSHA annually. The sampling and recordkeeping requirement alerts the mine operator and the MSHA to possible failure in the radon daughter control system, and permits appropriate SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: PO 00000 Frm 00089 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 11281 corrective action to be taken in a timely manner. Data submitted to the MSHA is intended to establish a means by which the MSHA can assure compliance with underground radiation standards and to assure that miners can, on written request, have records of cumulative exposures made available to them or their estate, and to medical and legal representatives who have obtained written authorization. This information collection is subject to the PRA. A Federal agency generally cannot conduct or sponsor a collection of information, and the public is generally not required to respond to an information collection, unless it is approved by the OMB under the PRA and displays a currently valid OMB Control Number. In addition, notwithstanding any other provisions of law, no person shall generally be subject to penalty for failing to comply with a collection of information if the collection of information does not display a valid OMB control number. See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and 1320.6. The DOL obtains OMB approval for this information collection under OMB Control Number 1219–0003. The current OMB approval is scheduled to expire on February 28, 2011; however, it should be noted that information collections submitted to the OMB receive a monthto-month extension while they undergo review. For additional information, see the related notice published in the Federal Register on December 21, 2010. Interested parties are encouraged to send comments to the OMB, Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, at the address shown in the ADDRESSES section within 30 days of publication of this notice in the Federal Register. In order to ensure appropriate consideration, comments should reference OMB Control Number 1219– 0003. The OMB is particularly interested in comments that: • Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including whether the information will have practical utility; • Evaluate the accuracy of the agency’s estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used; • Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and • Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated, electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or E:\FR\FM\01MRN1.SGM 01MRN1

resolving claims of the United States and twelve states or state 
agencies against Lafarge North America, Inc.'s, Lafarge Midwest, 
Inc.'s, and Lafarge Building Materials, Inc.'s (``Lafarge's'') for 
alleged violations of the Clean Air Act (``CAA'' or ``Act'') at its 
thirteen portland cement production facilities in the United States. 
Specifically, the consent decree resolved alleged violations of the 
Act's Prevention of Significant Deterioration (``PSD'') provisions, 42 
U.S.C. 7470-92; Nonattainment New Source Review (``NNSR'') provisions,

above-listed Federal PSD and/or NNSR requirements; and the CAA Title V 
operating permit requirements, 42 U.S.C. 7661-61f, including Title V's

two wet flue gas desulfurization devices (``Wet FGDs'') to control 
SO2 emissions from Kilns 22 and 23 at Lafarge's Alpena, 
Michigan cement production facility.
    The proposed Amendment to the decree allows Lafarge the option of 
installing a single Wet FGD to control combined SO2 
emissions from both Kilns 22 and 23 at its Alpena, Michigan cement 
production facility, rather than the two Wet FGDs required by the 
decree. In addition, the proposed Amendment requires Lafarge to: (1)

abatement plan, subject to EPA and state approval under the decree, 
intended to minimize emissions in the event of a malfunction of each 
Wet FGD at Ravena and Alpena. These requirements ensure

better emission reductions for SO2 than those currently 
required.

days from the date of this publication comments relating to the 
proposed Consent Decree. Comments should be addressed to the Assistant
