The process by which the EPA may initiate the reopening process for such a title V permit is explained at 40 CFR 70.7(g)(1). ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY Any such petition for review of this Order filed under the CAA must be received by November 7, 2016 pursuant to section 307 of the CAA. Information Collection Request Submitted to OMB for Review and Approval; Comment Request; EPA Application Materials for the Water Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act DATES: You may review copies of the final Order, the petitions, and other supporting information during normal business hours at EPA Region 2, 290 Broadway, New York, New York. If you wish to examine these documents, you should make an appointment at least 24 hours before the visiting day. ADDRESSES: FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Steven Riva, Chief, Permitting Section, Air Programs Branch, Clean Air and Sustainability Division, EPA, Region 2, 290 Broadway, 25th Floor, New York, New York 10007, telephone (212) 637– 4074, email address: riva.steven@ epa.gov, or the above EPA Region 2 address. In the context of a petition to reopen, the threshold determination is the Administrator’s ‘‘find[ing] that cause exists to terminate, modify, or revoke and reissue a permit’’ pursuant to 40 CFR 70.7(f). If, and only if, the Administrator makes that finding, the EPA ‘‘will notify’’ the relevant entities to initiate the reopening process. In light of the discretionary threshold finding applicable to reopening for cause by the EPA, a petition to reopen a title V permit should present evidence (e.g., factual information, citation, analysis) explaining why there is cause to reopen the title V permit pursuant to 40 CFR 70.7(f). In this instance, the Petitioner has not presented sufficient evidence that the title V permit fails to comply with the CAA, or that it should be reopened for cause pursuant to 40 CFR 70.7(f).

For additional information about the EPA’s public docket, visit https://www.epa.gov/ dockets. Pursuant to section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA, the EPA is soliciting comments and information to enable it to: (i) 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; (ii) Evaluate the accuracy of the Agency’s estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the methodology and its practical feasibility and the assumptions used; (iii) Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (iv) 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 other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic submission of responses. The EPA is evaluating the use of the Compliance and Emissions Data Reporting Interface (CEDRI) to collect ICR data for this category. Using CEDRI can both reduce the ICR collection burden through the use of on-line information technology and reduce reporting burdens in the future for affected facilities in the category. The EPA is interested in receiving comments on the use of this data collection approach. PO 00000 Frm 00054 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 62125 The EPA will consider the comments received and amend the ICR as appropriate. The final ICR package will then be submitted to OMB for review and approval. At that time, the EPA will issue another Federal Register notice to announce the submission of the ICR to OMB and the opportunity to submit additional comments to OMB. Abstract: This ICR is being conducted by the EPA’s Office of Air and Radiation to assist the EPA Administrator to fulfill her responsibilities under sections 112(d) and 112(f) of the Clean Air Act (CAA), as amended. The CAA requires a review of each NESHAP following the application of the standards to determine any remaining risk and whether the standards protect public health with an ample margin of safety and to determine whether more stringent standards are necessary to prevent an adverse environmental effect. The CAA also requires that the standard be reviewed and revised, as necessary, taking into account developments in practices, processes, and control technology. For efficiency and to reduce burden, these reviews are conducted concurrently and known as residual risk and technology reviews (RTR). In addition to the CAA reviews, in 2007, the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit issued a remand requiring the administrator to develop standards for emission units identified in the Plywood and Composite Wood Products (PCWP) NESHAP for which emission limits were not promulgated. The EPA reviewed its emission inventory and compliance databases to determine if its current information was sufficient to conduct an RTR for the PCWP NESHAP and develop emission limits for the remanded PCWP process units. The available data for the affected population of plywood, composite wood products, and lumber dry kilns was found to be insufficient to adequately review and evaluate the emission standards for these source categories. The ICR will provide specific, required information, including emission inventories, compliance demonstrations, process changes, and information about control technologies/ practices adopted since the application of maximum achievable control technology (MACT). Table 1 contains the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) codes of facilities impacted by this information collection. Only major sources and synthetic area sources for these NESHAP categories will be affected by this information collection. There will be a survey phase, Phase I, and a contingent testing phase, Phase E:\FR\FM\08SEN1.SGM 08SEN1
