Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 77 / Monday, April 24, 2017 / Notices
Areas,’’ require all states to adopt
preconstruction review programs for
new or modified stationary sources of
air pollution. In addition, the provisions
of section 110 of the Act include a
requirement for states to have a
preconstruction review program to
manage the emissions from the
construction and modification of any
stationary source of air pollution to
assure that the National Ambient Air
Quality Standards are achieved and
maintained. Tribes may choose to
develop implementation plans to
address these requirements.
Implementing regulations for these
three programs are promulgated at 40
CFR 49.101 through 49.105; 40 CFR
49.151 through 49.173; 40 CFR 51.160
through 51.166; 40 CFR part 51,
Appendix S; and 40 CFR 52.21 and
52.24. In order to receive a construction
permit for a major new source or major
modification, the applicant must
conduct the necessary research, perform
the appropriate analyses and prepare
the permit application with
documentation to demonstrate that their
project meets all applicable statutory
and regulatory NSR requirements.
Specific activities and requirements are
listed and described in the Supporting
Statement for the ICR.
State, local, tribal or federal reviewing
authorities review permit applications
and provide for public review of
proposed projects and issue permits
based on their consideration of all
technical factors and public input. The
EPA, more broadly, reviews a fraction of
the total applications and audits the
state and local programs for their
effectiveness. Consequently,
information prepared and submitted by
sources is essential for sources to
receive permits, and for federal, state,
and local environmental agencies to
adequately review the permit
applications and thereby properly
administer and manage the NSR
programs.
Information that is collected is
handled according to EPA’s policies set
forth in title 40, chapter 1, part 2,
subpart B—Confidentiality of Business
Information (see 40 CFR part 2). See also
section 114(c) of the Act.
Form numbers: 5900–246, 5900–247,
5900–248, 5900–340, 5900–341, 5900–

371, 5900–372, 5900–390 and 5900–391.
Respondents/Affected Entities:
Entities that must apply for and obtain
a preconstruction permit under part C or
D or section 110(a)(2)(C) of title I of the
Act. In addition, state, local and tribal
reviewing authorities that must review

permit applications and issue permits
are affected entities.
Respondent’s Obligation To Respond:
Mandatory [40 CFR part 49, subpart C;
40 CFR part 51, subpart I; 40 CFR part
52, subpart A; 40 CFR part 124, subparts
A and C].
Estimated Number of Respondents:
73,762 (total); 73,639 industrial facilities
and 123 state, local and tribal reviewing
authorities.
Frequency of Response: On occasion,
as necessary.
Total Estimated Burden: 5,516,675
hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5
CFR 1320.03(b).
Total Estimated Cost: $428,829,729
(per year). This includes $3,535,524
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.

Needs and Uses: On August, 23, 2016,
the Federal Communications
Commission released a Report and
Order, FCC 16–113, PS Docket No. 15–
199, that modified Part 90 of the Rules
Private Land Mobile Radio Services.
The amended rule revises the Part 90
eligibility rules to permit railroad police
officers to access the interoperability.
Specifically, the Commission modified
Section 90.20(xiv) to provide that:
(xiv)(A) Railroad police officers are a class
of users eligible to operate on the nationwide
interoperability and mutual aid channels
listed in 90.20(i) provided their employer
holds a Private Land Mobile Radio (PLMR)
VerDate Sep<11>2014
13:48 Apr 21, 2017
Jkt 241001
license of any radio category, including
Industrial/Business (I/B). Eligible users
include full and part time railroad police
officers, Amtrak employees who qualify as
railroad police officers under this subsection,
Alaska Railroad employees who qualify as
railroad police officers under this subsection,
freight railroad employees who qualify as
railroad police officers under this subsection,
and passenger transit lines police officers
who qualify as railroad police officers under
this subsection. Railroads and railroad police
departments may obtain licenses for the
nationwide interoperability and mutual aid
channels on behalf of railroad police officers
in their employ. Employers of railroad police
officers must obtain concurrence from the
relevant state interoperability coordinator or
regional planning committee before applying
for a license to the Federal Communications
Commission or operating on the
interoperability and mutual aid channels.
(1) Railroad police officer means a peace
officer who is commissioned in his or her
state of legal residence or state of primary
employment and employed, full or part time,
by a railroad to enforce state laws for the
protection of railroad property, personnel,
passengers, and/or cargo.
(2) Commissioned means that a state
official has certified or otherwise designated
a railroad employee as qualified under the
licensing requirements of that state to act as
a railroad police officer in that state.
(3) Property means rights-of-way,
easements, appurtenant property, equipment,
cargo, facilities, and buildings and other
structures owned, leased, operated,
maintained, or transported by a railroad.
(4) Railroad means each class of freight
railroad (i.e. Class I, II, III); Amtrak, Alaska
Railroad, commuter railroads and passenger
transit lines.
(5) The word state, as used herein,
encompasses states, territories and the
District of Columbia.
(B) Eligibility for licensing on the 700 MHz
narrowband interoperability channels is
restricted to entities that have as their sole or
principal purpose the provision of public
safety services.
To effectively implement the
provisions of the new Rule, no other
modifications to existing FCC rules are
required. The changes are intended to
simplify the licensing process for
railroad police officers and ensure
interoperable communications. The
modified rules provide a benefit to
public safety licensees by ensuring that
only railroad police officers with
appropriate governmental authorization
can operate on the interoperability and
mutual aid channels during
emergencies. This will provide the
additional benefit of promoting
interoperability with railroad police
officers by eliminating eligibility as a
gating factor when licensing spectrum.
The Report and Order reduces the
burden on railroad police by allowing
them to meet eligibility standard by
requiring employers of railroad police

officers to obtain concurrence from the
relevant state interoperability
coordinator or regional planning
committee before applying for a license
to the Federal Communications
Commission or operating on the
interoperability and mutual aid
channels. Compliance with this
requirement is already a requisite for
public safety eligibility to use the
interoperability and mutual aid
channels, consequently any new burden
imposed by this requirement would be
minimal.
