annually in outsourced start-up costs for
preconstruction monitoring.
Changes in estimates: There is a
decrease of 2,417,665 hours in the total
estimated respondent burden compared
with the ICR currently approved by
OMB. This decrease has two primary
causes: (1) A significant decrease in the
estimated number of industrial facilities
subject to CAA title I, part C permitting
as a result of the U.S. Supreme Court
ruling in Utility Air Regulatory Group
(UARG) v. EPA (134 S.Ct. 2427 (2014));
and (2) a significant decrease in the
estimated number of permits and
registrations on tribal lands based on the
progress in, and experience with,
implementing the tribal NSR program.
Dated: September 9, 2016.

acceptable regulatory alternative to
paper reporting and establishes
requirements to assure that electronic

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, § 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 programspecific 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 July 5, 2016, the Oregon
Department of Environmental Quality
(OR DEQ) submitted an application
titled ‘‘National Network Discharge
Monitoring Report System’’ for
revisions/modifications to its EPAapproved programs under title 40 CFR
to allow new electronic reporting. EPA
reviewed OR DEQ’s request to revise/
modify its EPA-authorized programs
and, based on this review, EPA
determined that the application met the
standards for approval of authorized
program revisions/modifications 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
Oregon’s request to revise/modify its
following EPA-authorized programs to
allow electronic reporting under 40 CFR
parts 122 and 403, is being published in

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

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.

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,

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

its EPA-approved program under title 40 CFR to allow new electronic
reporting. EPA reviewed ADEC's request to revise/modify its EPA-

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

ADEC was notified of EPA's determination to approve its application
with respect to the authorized program listed above.
