year), includes $50 annualized capital
or operation & maintenance costs.
Changes in Estimates: There is no
change in burden hours in this ICR
compared to the previous ICR. However,
there is an expected increase in the
respondent and Agency costs due to an
adjustment to reflect updated labor
rates.
(62) Docket ID Number: EPA–HQ–
OECA–2014–0092; Title: NESHAP for
Printing, Coating and Dyeing of Fabrics
and Other Textiles (40 CFR Part 63,

subject to the General Provisions of the
NESHAP at 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart A,
and any changes, or additions to the
Provisions specified at 40 CFR Part 63,

compared to the ICR currently approved
by OMB. The increase is due to an
adjustment in the estimated number of
respondents to reflect industry growth
since the three-year period covered by
the previous ICR.
(63) Docket ID Number: EPA–HQ–
OECA–2014–0102; Title: NSPS for Oil
and Natural Gas Production and Natural
Gas Transmission and Distribution (40
CFR Part 60, Subpart OOOO); ICR
Numbers: EPA ICR Number 2437.03,
OMB Control Number 2060–0673; ICR
Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire
on September 30, 2015.
Abstract: The NSPS covers the
requirements at Subpart OOOO. The
existing provisions of Subparts KKK/
LLL will be included in this subpart
along with the new proposed provisions
for the following affected facilities: gas
wellheads, pneumatic controllers,
centrifugal and reciprocating
compressors, and storage vessels. The
oil and natural gas sector includes
operations involved in the extraction
and production of oil and natural gas, as
well as the processing, transmission,
and distribution of natural gas. The
potential respondents are owners or
operators of oil and gas affected
facilities found throughout these
industry segments. We estimate 500
entities will be affected by this NSPS.
Form Numbers: None.
Respondents/affected entities: Oil and
natural gas production and natural gas
transmission and distribution facilities.
Respondent’s obligation to respond:
Mandatory (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart
OOOO)
Estimated number of respondents:
500 (total).
Frequency of response: Semiannually
and annually.
Total estimated burden: 68,906 hours
(per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR
1320.03(b).
Total estimated cost: $3,137,909 (per
year), includes $831,336 annualized
capital or operation & maintenance
costs.
Changes in Estimates: There is likely
an increase in burden in this ICR due to
an adjustment in the estimated number
of respondents to account for industry
growth. In addition, this ICR covers the
ongoing compliance of the standard,
which differs from the burden
associated with initial requirements as
presented in the previous ICR.

AGENCY:
The Environmental Protection
Agency has submitted an information
collection request (ICR), SmartWay
Transport Partnership (Renewal) (EPA
ICR No. 2265.02, OMB Control No.
2060–0663), to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Supporting documents, which explain
in detail the information that the EPA
will be collecting, are available in the
public docket for this ICR. The docket
can be viewed online at

EPA Docket Center, WJC West Building,

Abstract: The EPA’s Office of Air and
Radiation (OAR) developed the
SmartWay Transport Partnership
(‘‘SmartWay’’) under directives outlined
in Subtitle D of the Energy Policy Act
of 2005, which calls on EPA to assess
the energy and air quality impacts of
activities within the freight industry.
These activities include long-duration
truck idling, the development and
promotion of strategies for reducing
idling, fuel consumption, and negative
air quality effects. SmartWay’s
objectives also are consistent with the
Federal Technology Transfer Act and
other laws that support collaborative
partnerships between government and
industry.
SmartWay is open to organizations
that own, operate, or contract with fleet
operations, including truck and multimodal carriers, logistics companies, and
shippers. Organizations that do not
operate fleets, but that are working to
strengthen the freight industry, such as
industry trade associations, state and
local transportation agencies and
environmental groups, also may join as
SmartWay Affiliates. All organizations
that join SmartWay are asked to provide
EPA with information as part of their
SmartWay registration to annually
benchmark their transportation-related
operations and improve the
environmental performance of their
freight activities.
A company joins SmartWay when it
completes and submits a SmartWay
Excel-based Partnership Tool
(‘‘reporting tool’’) to EPA. The data
outputs from the submitted tool are
used by Partners and SmartWay in
several ways. The data provides
confirmation that SmartWay Partners
are meeting established objectives as in
their Partnership Agreement. The
reporting tool outputs enable EPA to
assist SmartWay Partners in adjusting
their commitments, as appropriate, and
to update them with environmental
performance and technology
information that empower them to
VerDate Mar<15>2010

improve their efficiency. This
information also improves EPA’s
knowledge and understanding of the
environmental and energy impacts
associated with goods movement, and
the effectiveness of both proven and
emerging strategies to lessen those
impacts.
In addition to requesting annual
transportation-related data, EPA may
ask its SmartWay Partners for other
kinds of information, which could
include opinions and test data on the
effectiveness of new and emerging
technology applications, sales volumes
associated with SmartWayrecommended vehicle equipment and
technologies, the reach and value of
partnering with EPA through the
SmartWay Partnership, and awareness
of the SmartWay brand. In some
instances, EPA might query other freight
industry representatives (not just
SmartWay Partners), including trade
and professional associations, nonprofit
environmental groups, energy, and
community organizations, and
universities, and a small sampling of the
general public.
Form Numbers: None.
Respondents/Affected entities: Private
and public organizations that join the
SmartWay Transport Partnership;
freight industry representatives who
engage in activities related to the
SmartWay Partnership; and
representative samplings of consumers
in the general public.
Respondent’s obligation to respond:
Voluntary.
Estimated number of Program
respondents: 3,961 (total).
Frequency of response: Annually,
occasionally.
Total estimated burden: 11,504 hours
(per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR
1320.03(b).
Total Estimated Cost: $628,477 (per
year), which includes $1,651 in
annualized capital or operation &
maintenance costs.
Changes in estimates: There is an
increase of 3,203 hours in the total
estimated respondent burden compared
with the ICR currently approved by
OMB. This increase reflects the
following adjustments and program
changes: (1) adjustments associated with
increased interest in SmartWay, and
thus, an increase in new annual
respondents and applications for the
SmartWay Excellence Award, as well as
robust Program retention practices,
leading to increased number of
Respondent partners reporting annually;
(2) increased burden associated with the
SmartWay Tractor & Trailer program;
and (3) reduced burden due to EPA’s
