Reports are required semiannually at a minimum. Form Numbers: None Respondents/affected entities: Owners or operators of electric arc furnace steelmaking facilities. Respondent’s obligation to respond: mandatory (40 CFR part 63, subpart YYYYY) Estimated number of respondents: 91 (total). Frequency of response: Initially, semiannually and occasionally. Total estimated burden: 1,481 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.03(b) Total estimated cost: $138,991 (per year), includes $0 annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs. Changes in Estimates: There is no change in the labor hours in this ICR compared to the previous ICR. This is due to two considerations: (1) The regulations have not changed over the past three years and are not anticipated to change over the next three years; and (2) the growth rate for the respondents is very low, negative or non-existent. Therefore, the labor hours in the previous ICR reflect the current burden to the respondents and are reiterated in this ICR. However, there is an increase in burden costs due to an adjustment in labor rates. (24) Docket ID Number: EPA–HQ– OECA–2013–0352; Title: NESHAP for Industrial, Commercial, and Institutional Boilers and Process Heaters (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart DDDDD); ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 2028.08, OMB Control Number 2060–0551; ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on September 30, 2014. Abstract: The standard affects new and existing industrial/commercial/ institutional boilers and process heaters that are major sources of HAPs. Each owner or operator of a source affected by the standards is required to submit an initial notification that the source is subject to the standard. Each respondent submits semiannual compliance reports. Additional records and notifications depend on which subcategory the boilers or process heaters are in. Form Numbers: None Respondents/affected entities: Owners and operators of industrial, commercial, and institutional boilers and process heaters. Respondent’s obligation to respond: mandatory (40 CFR part 63, subpart DDDDD) Estimated number of respondents: 14,111 (total). Frequency of response: Initial and annually.

ACTION: Request for Nominations to the Human Studies Review Board (HSRB) Advisory Committee. wreier-aviles on DSK5TPTVN1PROD with NOTICES AGENCY: SUMMARY: The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) invites nominations from a diverse range of qualified candidates with expertise in bioethics, biostatistics and human health risk assessment to be considered for appointment to its Human Studies Review Board (HSRB) advisory committee. Anticipated vacancies will VerDate Mar<15>2010 15:13 Jun 10, 2013 Jkt 229001 be filled by September 1, 2013. Sources in addition to this Federal Register Notice may also be utilized in the solicitation of nominees. Background: On February 6, 2006, the Agency published a final rule for the protection of human subjects in research that called for creating a new, independent human studies review board (i.e., HSRB). The HSRB is a federal advisory committee operating in accordance with the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA) 5 U.S.C. App. 2 § 9 (Pub. L. 92–463). The HSRB provides advice, information, and recommendations to EPA on issues related to scientific and ethical aspects of human subjects research. The major objectives of the HSRB are to provide advice and recommendations on: (1) Research proposals and protocols that include human subjects; (2) reports of completed research with human subjects; and (3) how to strengthen EPA’s programs for protection of human subjects of research. The HSRB reports to the EPA Administrator through EPA’s Science Advisor. General information concerning the HSRB, including its charter, current membership, and activities can be found on the EPA Web site at https://www.epa.gov/osa/hsrb/. HSRB members serve as special government employees or regular government employees. Members are appointed by the EPA Administrator for either two or three year terms with the possibility of reappointment for additional terms, with a maximum of six years of service. The HSRB usually meets up to four times a year and the typical workload for HSRB members is approximately 40 to 50 hours per meeting, including the time spent at the meeting. Responsibilities of HSRB members include reviewing extensive background materials prior to meetings of the Board, preparing draft responses to Agency charge questions, attending Board meetings, participating in the discussion and deliberations at these meetings, drafting assigned sections of meeting reports, and helping to finalize Board reports. EPA compensates special government employees for their time and provides reimbursement for travel and other incidental expenses associated with official government business. EPA values and welcomes diversity. In an effort to obtain nominations of diverse candidates, EPA encourages nominations of women and men of all racial and ethnic groups. The qualifications of nominees for membership on the HSRB will be assessed in terms of the specific expertise sought for the HSRB. Qualified nominees who agree to be considered further will be included in a ‘‘Short PO 00000 Frm 00058 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 35031 List’’. The Short List of nominee names and biographical sketches will be posted for 14 calendar days for public comment on the HSRB Web site: https:// www.epa.gov/osa/hsrb/index.htm. The public will be encouraged to provide additional information about the nominees that EPA should consider. At the completion of the comment period, EPA will select new Board members from the Short List. Candidates not selected for HSRB membership at this time may be considered for HSRB membership as vacancies arise in the future or for service as consultants to the HSRB. The Agency estimates that the names of Short List candidates will be posted in July 2013. However, please be advised that this is an approximate time frame and the date is subject to change. If you have any questions concerning posting of Short List candidates on the HSRB Web site, please consult the person listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT. Members of the HSRB are subject to the provisions of 5 CFR part 2634, Executive Branch Financial Disclosure, as supplemented by the EPA in 5 CFR part 6401. In anticipation of this requirement, each nominee will be asked to submit confidential financial information that fully discloses, among other financial interests, the candidate’s employment, stocks and bonds, and where applicable, sources of research support. The information provided is strictly confidential and will not be disclosed to the public. Before a candidate is considered further for service on the HSRB, EPA will evaluate each candidate to assess whether there is any conflict of financial interest, appearance of a lack of impartiality, or prior involvement with matters likely to be reviewed by the Board. Nominations will be evaluated on the basis of several criteria, including: the professional background, expertise and experience that would contribute to the diversity of perspectives of the committee; interpersonal, verbal and written communication skills and other attributes that would contribute to the HSRB’s collaborative process; consensus building skills; absence of any financial conflicts of interest or the appearance of a lack of impartiality, or lack of independence, or bias; and the availability to attend meetings and administrative sessions, participate in teleconferences, develop policy recommendations to the Administrator, and prepare recommendations and advice in reports. Nominations should include a resume or curriculum vitae providing the nominee’s educational background, qualifications, leadership positions in E:\FR\FM\11JNN1.SGM 11JNN1

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On October 13, 2005, the final Cross-Media 
Electronic Reporting Rule (CROMERR) was published in the Federal 
Register (70 FR 59848) and codified as part 3 of title 40 of the CFR. 
CROMERR establishes electronic reporting as an acceptable regulatory 
alternative to paper reporting and establishes requirements to assure 
that electronic documents are as legally dependable as their paper 
counterparts. Subpart D of CROMERR requires that state, tribal or local 
government agencies that receive, or wish to begin receiving, 
electronic reports under their EPA-authorized programs must apply to 
EPA for a revision or modification of those programs and obtain EPA 
approval. Subpart D provides standards for such approvals based on 
consideration of the electronic document receiving systems that the 
state, tribe, or local government will use to implement the electronic 
reporting. Additionally, Sec.  3.1000(b) through (e) of 40 CFR part 3, 
subpart D provides special procedures for program revisions and 
modifications to allow electronic reporting, to be used at the

[[Page 35031]]

option of the state, tribe or local government in place of procedures 
available under existing program-specific authorization regulations. An 
application submitted under the subpart D procedures must show that the 
state, tribe or local government has sufficient legal authority to 
implement the electronic reporting components of the programs covered 
by the application and will use electronic document receiving systems 
that meet the applicable subpart D requirements.
    On October 10, 2012, the Nevada Division of Environmental 
Protection (NDEP) submitted an application titled ``Network Discharge 
Monitoring Report System'' for revision of its EPA-authorized 
authorized Part 123 program under title 40 CFR. EPA reviewed NDEP's 
request to revise its EPA-authorized Part 123--National Pollutant 
Discharge Elimination System program and, based on this review, EPA 
determined that the application met the standards for approval of 
authorized program revision set out in 40 CFR part 3, subpart D. In 
accordance with 40 CFR 3.1000(d), this notice of EPA's decision to 
approve Nevada's request to revise its Part 123--National Pollutant 
Discharge Elimination System program to allow electronic reporting 
under 40 CFR part 122 is being published in the Federal Register.
    NDEP was notified of EPA's determination to approve its application 
with respect to the authorized program listed above.
