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.

Response to Clean Air Act Section
126(b) Petitions From Delaware and
Maryland
Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA).
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:

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,

submissions, and general guidance on
making effective comments, please visit
