Environmental Impact Statements; Notice of Availability, 26665-26666 [2018-12334]

Download as PDF amozie on DSK3GDR082PROD with NOTICES1 Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 111 / Friday, June 8, 2018 / Notices paper is attached to the docket for this FR notice. As suggested by the 2/27/18 joint EPA-State paper written to identify improvements to the display, usability, and accuracy of ECHO, we are asking commenters, if they would like, to indicate a preference for one of the three FRV date reporting options agencies may choose to display on ECHO: 1a. FRV Determination Date and Case File Resolved Date; 1b. Violation Occurrence Start Date and Occurrence End Date; 2. FRV Determination Date. Option 1a would require the linking of formal enforcement actions to the case file, and in the absence of formal enforcement action, the entry of Resolving Action Type and Date. Option 1b would add two data elements to the minimum data requirements. Option 2 continues the status quo in which the FRV Determination Date is either reported voluntarily by the agency or autogenerated by ICIS-Air to match the date on which the agency submitted the FRV data to ICIS-Air. The EPA-State paper expressed the authors’ belief that EPA’s ECHO could better display CAA violations if FRV dates are consistently reported. Several members of the workgroup that created the paper expressed the view that EPA should select an approach for FRV date reporting and request the entry of the necessary data, via this ICR renewal process. EPA encourages you to share the views of your organization on this topic. EPA currently intends to continue the status quo with respect to the minimum data requirements associated with reporting FRVs. However, EPA is open to changing its viewpoint based upon the feedback received from stakeholders in response to this Federal Register notice. Respondents: State, Local, Territorial, Indian Nations, and Commonwealth governments. Respondent’s obligation to respond: Mandatory, see Section 114(a)(1) of the Clean Air Act, 42 U.S.C. Section 7414(a)(1). Estimated number of respondents: 99. Frequency of response: Every 60 days. Annual estimated burden: 51,413 hours. Annual estimated cost: $2,688,901. There are no annualized capital/startup or operations & maintenance costs. Changes in Estimates: When developing the previous ICR, ICIS-Air was not yet implemented in a production environment and EPA estimated burden to the best of its ability based on the Agency’s knowledge of ICIS-Air. At that time, EPA believed that states and locals, as VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:53 Jun 07, 2018 Jkt 241001 a whole, would experience a reduction in reporting burden due to the ease of reporting to ICIS-Air, a modern and more robust information system. For this ICR renewal, EPA will use experience from the last three years to provide burden estimates that adequately reflect the actual burden. EPA will consider any comment received and will conduct consultation with delegated agencies that are direct users of ICIS-Air, as well as those using EDT to report MDRs. Since ICIS-Air is a relatively new platform, the estimates provided are likely to change. Dated: May 23, 2018. Randolph L. Hill, Director, Enforcement Targeting & Data Division, Office of Compliance.

ACTION: Notice of proposed action on petitions. AGENCY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to deny four petitions submitted by the state of Delaware and one petition submitted by the state of Maryland under Clean Air Act (CAA or Act) section 126(b). The petitions were submitted between July and November 2016. Each of Delaware’s four petitions requested that the EPA make a finding that emissions from individual sources in Pennsylvania or West Virginia are significantly contributing to Delaware’s nonattainment of the 2008 and 2015 8-hour ozone national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS). Maryland’s petition requested that the EPA make a finding that emissions from 36 electric generating units in Indiana, Kentucky, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia are significantly contributing to ozone levels that exceed the 2008 8-hour ozone NAAQS in Maryland, and, therefore, are interfering with nonattainment and maintenance of the 2008 ozone NAAQS. The EPA proposes to deny all five petitions because Delaware and Maryland have not met their burden to demonstrate that the sources emit or would emit in violation of the CAA’s ‘‘good neighbor’’ provision (i.e., the petitions have not demonstrated that the sources will significantly contribute to nonattainment or interfere with maintenance of the 2008 or 2015 ozone NAAQS in the petitioning states). The EPA is further proposing to deny the petitions based on the agency’s independent analysis that the identified sources do not currently emit and are SUMMARY: PO 00000 Frm 00026 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 not expected to emit pollution in violation of the good neighbor provision for either the 2008 or 2015 ozone NAAQS. DATES: Comments. Comments must be received on or before July 23, 2018. Public Hearing. The EPA will hold a public hearing on the proposed action. Details will be announced in a separate Federal Register document. ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID No. EPA–HQ– OAR–2018–0295, at https:// www.regulations.gov. Follow the online instructions for submitting comments. Once submitted, comments cannot be edited or removed from Regulations.gov. The EPA may publish any comment received to its public docket. Do not submit electronically any information you consider to be Confidential Business Information (CBI) or other information whose disclosure is restricted by statute. Multimedia submissions (audio, video, etc.) must be accompanied by a written comment. The written comment is considered the official comment and should include discussion of all points you wish to make. The EPA will generally not consider comments or comment contents located outside of the primary submission (e.g., on the Web, Cloud, or other file sharing system). For additional submission methods, the full EPA public comment policy, information about CBI or multimedia submissions, and general guidance on making effective comments, please visit https://www2.epa.gov/dockets/ commenting-epa-dockets.
