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, which are specified at 40 CFR part 63, subpart YYYY. Owners or operators of the affected facilities must PO 00000 Frm 00037 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 64905 submit an initial notification report, 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 inoperative. Reports, at a minimum, are required semi-annually. Form numbers: None. Respondents/affected entities: Stationary combustion turbines constructed or reconstructed after January 14, 2003. Respondent’s obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 63, subpart YYYY). Estimated number of respondents: 131 (total). Frequency of response: Initially, semiannually and annually. Total estimated burden: 2,220 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b). Total estimated cost: $239,000 (per year), which includes $9,700 in either annualized capital/startup or operation & maintenance costs. Changes in the estimates: There is an adjustment increase in respondent labor hours in this ICR from the most-recently approved ICR. This is due to a projected industry growth, which results in an increase in the estimated number of sources subject to these standards. Additionally, there is a small adjustment decrease in the capital/ startup cost due to a correction. The previous ICR incorrectly calculated the labor cost for installing catalyst inlet temperature monitoring devices. Courtney Kerwin, Director, Regulatory Support Division.

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 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 August 8, 2016, the Alaska Department of Environmental 
Conservation (ADEC) submitted an application titled ``National 
Pollutant Discharge Elimination System'' for revision/modification to 
its EPA-approved program under title 40 CFR to allow new electronic 
reporting. EPA reviewed ADEC's request to revise/modify its EPA-
authorized Part 123--EPA Administered Permit Programs: The 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/modification 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 Alaska's request to revise/modify its Part 
123--EPA Administered Permit Programs: The National Pollutant Discharge 
Elimination System program to allow electronic reporting under 40 CFR 
part 122 is being published in the Federal Register.
    ADEC was notified of EPA's determination to approve its application 
with respect to the authorized program listed above.
