Environmental Impact Statements; Notice of Availability, 42005-42006 [2014-16926]

Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 138 / Friday, July 18, 2014 / Notices Estimated number of respondents: 96 (total). Frequency of response: Initially and semiannually. Total estimated burden: 14,535 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b). Total estimated cost: $2,195,995 (per year), includes $774,234 annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs. Changes in the Estimates: There is an adjustment decrease in the respondent and Agency burden. This is not due to any program changes. The decrease occurred because we have modified the number of existing cement plants from 118 to 96 to reflect the latest industry data collected by the Agency’s Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program. This revision provides a more accurate estimate for the portland cement sector, and results in an overall decrease in burden estimate. Spencer W. Clark, Acting Director, Collection Strategies Division.

ACTION: Notice. AGENCY: The Environmental Protection Agency has submitted an information collection request (ICR), ‘‘NESHAP for Primary Aluminum Reduction Plants (40 CFR part 63, Subpart LL) (Renewal)’’ (EPA ICR No. 1767.07, OMB Control No. 2060–0360) to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.). This is a proposed extension of the ICR, which is currently approved through July 31, 2014. Public comments were previously requested via the Federal Register (78 FR 35023) on June 11, 2013 during a 60-day comment period. This notice allows for an additional 30 days for public comments. A fuller description of the ICR is given below, including its estimated burden and cost to the public. An Agency may not conduct or sponsor sroberts on DSK5SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES SUMMARY: VerDate Mar<15>2010 23:20 Jul 17, 2014 Jkt 232001 and a person is not required to respond to a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number.

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 www.regulations.gov or in person at the EPA Docket Center, WJC West, Room 3334, 1301 Constitution Ave. NW., Washington, DC. The telephone number for the Docket Center is 202–566–1744. For additional information about EPA’s public docket, visit: https:// www.epa.gov/dockets. Abstract: The affected entities are subject to the General Provisions of the NESHAP (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart A), and any changes, or additions to the Provisions (40 CFR part 63, Subpart LL). Owners or operators of the affected facilities must submit a one-time only report of any physical or operational changes, initial performance tests, and periodic reports and results. Owners or operators 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 PO 00000 Frm 00052 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 42005 inoperative. Reports are required semiannually at a minimum. Form Numbers: None. Respondents/affected entities: Owners or operators of primary aluminum reduction plants. Respondent’s obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart LL). Estimated number of respondents: 16 (total). Frequency of response: Initially, semiannually and annually. Total estimated burden: 80,023 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b). Total estimated cost: $7,918,987 (per year), which includes $91,348 in either annualized capital/startup or operation & maintenance costs. Changes in the Estimates: There is no significant change in burden 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 industry is very low, negative or non-existent, so there is no significant change in the overall burden. The apparent decrease of 375 hours in respondent burden is due to a mathematical correction. The previous ICR incorrectly summed the number of recordkeeping hours. In addition, there is a small increase in respondent cost due to an update in labor rates. Spencer W. Clark, Acting Director, Collection Strategies Division.

ACTION: Notice. AGENCY: VerDate Mar<15>2010 23:20 Jul 17, 2014 Jkt 232001 The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Science Advisory Board (SAB) Staff Office requests public nominations of scientific experts to augment the SAB Ecological Process and Effects Committee (EPEC) to form a panel to provide early advice on and subsequent review of preliminary binational phosphorous objectives, loading targets and allocations for the nearshore and offshore waters to achieve the Lake Ecosystem Objectives for Lake Erie, pursuant to the Nutrients Annex (Annex 4) of the 2012 Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement (GLWQA). DATES: Nominations should be submitted by August 8, 2014 per the instructions below. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Any member of the public wishing further information regarding this Notice and Request for Nominations may contact the Designated Federal Officer. Nominators unable to submit nominations electronically as described below may contact the Designated Federal Officers for assistance. General information concerning the EPA SAB can be found at the EPA SAB Web site at https://www.epa.gov/sab. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background: The SAB (42 U.S.C. 4365) is a chartered Federal Advisory Committee that provides independent scientific and technical peer review, advice, consultation, and recommendations to the EPA Administrator on the technical basis for EPA actions. As a Federal Advisory Committee, the SAB conducts business in accordance with the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA) (5 U.S.C. App. 2) and related regulations. The SAB Ecological Process and Effects Committee (EPEC) is a subcommittee of the SAB that provides advice through the chartered SAB on technical issues related to EPA environmental programs and the supporting science and research to protect, sustain and restore the health of ecosystems. The SAB and the EPEC, augmented with additional experts, will comply with the provisions of FACA and all appropriate SAB Staff Office procedural policies. EPA Region 5 is co-leading a binational workgroup to develop and implement the Nutrients Annex (‘‘Annex 4’’) of the 2012 Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement (GLWQA) in accordance with Article 3(b)(i) of the GLWQA. Under Annex 4, the U.S. and Canada are charged with establishing binational Substance Objectives for phosphorus concentrations, loading targets and allocations for the nearshore and offshore waters of Lake Erie by SUMMARY: PO 00000 Frm 00053 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 February 2016. The general approach is to use an ensemble of Lake Erie ecosystem models to compute appropriate load-response relationships for eutrophication response indicators of concern. EPA Region 5 requested an SAB consultation (i.e., early advice) on the appropriateness of modeling approaches to meet the GLWQA Lake Ecosystem Objectives. EPA is also requesting a subsequent review of the modeled phosphorus targets and loads to obtain advice on (1) whether these targets and loads are sufficient to meet the Lake Ecosystem Objectives as defined in the GLWQA and (2) whether the modeled results reflect the best available information on the phosphorous sources and trophic status of Lake Erie. Technical Contact for EPA’s draft assessments: For information concerning the GLWQA Annex 4 please contact Ms. Santina Wortman, Water Division, US EPA Region 5, 77 West Jackson Boulevard (WW–16J), Chicago, Illinois 60604, phone (312) 353–8319. Request for Nominations: The SAB Staff Office is seeking nominations of nationally and internationally recognized scientists with demonstrated expertise and research to augment the EPEC and form an augmented standing committee for an early consultation and subsequent review of the binational phosphorous objectives, loading targets and allocations for the nearshore and offshore waters to achieve the Lake Ecosystem Objectives for Lake Erie. For this effort the SAB Staff Office seeks experts in one or more of the following areas, algal and cyanobacteria ecology, aquatic ecology, hydrology, limnology, ecosystem modeling, and nutrient fate and transport. Questions regarding this advisory activity should be directed to Mr. Thomas Carpenter, Designated Federal Officer (DFO), SAB Staff Office, by telephone/voice mail at (202) 564– 4885, by fax at (202) 565–2098, or via email at carpenter.thomas@epa.gov. Process and Deadline for Submitting Nominations: Any interested person or organization may nominate qualified individuals in the areas of expertise described above for possible service on the augmented EPEC panel identified in this notice. Nominations should be submitted in electronic format (preferred over hard copy) following the instructions for ‘‘Nominating Experts to Advisory Panels and Ad Hoc Committees Being Formed,’’ provided on the SAB Web site (see the ‘‘Nomination of Experts’’ link on the blue navigational bar at https:// www.epa.gov/sab). To receive full consideration, nominations should include all of the information requested E:\FR\FM\18JYN1.SGM 18JYN1
