Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 162 / Tuesday, August 21, 2018 / Notices Respondents/affected entities: Manufacturers of engines, equipment and vehicles in the nonroad compression ignition (CI), marine CI, locomotives and medium- and heavyduty on-highway industries; Marine CI vessel owners and operators and owners of HD truck fleets. Respondent’s obligation to respond: Regulated manufacturers must respond to this collection if they wish to sell their products in the US, as prescribed by Section 206(a) of the CAA (42 U.S.C. 7521). Participation in some programs such as ABT and TPEM is voluntary, but once a manufacturer has elected to participate, it must submit the required information. Estimated number of respondents: 468 (total). Frequency of response: Quarterly, Annually, On Occasion. Total estimated burden: 127,900 hours per year. Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.03(b). Total estimated cost: $21,639,590 (per year), which includes an estimated $11,682,548 annualized capital or maintenance and operational costs. Changes in the Estimates: There is a net decrease of 73,137 hours in the total estimated burden. This decrease is due to: (1) A decrease in TPEM respondents; (2) respondents’ reliance on carry-over testing data; and 3) eliminating duplication.

Abstract: The New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for Polymeric Coating of Supporting Substrates Facilities (40 CFR part 60, subpart VVV) apply to each existing and new coating operation and any on-site coating mix preparation equipment used PO 00000 Frm 00040 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 42291 to prepare coatings for the polymeric coating of supporting substrates. New facilities include those that commenced construction, modification, or reconstruction after the date of proposal. In general, all NSPS standards require initial notifications, performance tests, and periodic reports by the owners/ operators of the affected facilities. They 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. These notifications, reports, and records are essential in determining compliance with 40 CFR part 60, subpart VVV. Form Numbers: None. Respondents/affected entities: Polymeric coating facilities. Respondent’s obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 60, subpart VVV). Estimated number of respondents: 62 (total). Frequency of response: Initially, quarterly and semiannually. Total estimated burden: 14,200 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b). Total estimated cost: $2,190,000 (per year), which includes $700,000 in annualized capital/startup and/or operation & maintenance costs. Changes in the Estimates: There is a small adjustment increase in the total estimated burden and capital and O&M costs as currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved Burdens. This increase is not due to any program changes. The change in the burden and cost estimates occurred due to an increase in the respondent universe.

Abstract: The Emission Guidelines for Sewage Sludge Incinerators (SSI) for Sewage Sludge Incinerators (40 CFR part 60, subpart MMMM) apply to the administrators of air quality programs in a state or U.S. protectorate with one or more SSI units that commenced construction either on or before the date of proposal. States may choose to incorporate the model rule text directly in their state plan. If a State does not develop, adopt, and submit an approvable State plan, the EPA must develop a Federal plan to implement the emission guidelines. These regulations do not directly apply to SSI unit owners and operators. However, SSI unit owners and operators must comply with the state plan to implement the emission guidelines contained in this Subpart. These standards only affect existing units constructed on or before October 14, 2010; therefore, no new units will become subject to these same standards. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 60, subpart MMMM. In general, all emission guidelines require initial notifications, performance tests, and periodic reports by the owners/operators of the affected facilities. They 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. These notifications, reports, and records are essential in determining compliance, and are required of all affected facilities subject to emission guidelines. Form Numbers: None.

Estimated number of respondents: 86 (total). Frequency of response: Initially, semiannually and annually. Total estimated burden: 32,800 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b). Total estimated cost: $4,790,000 (per year), which includes $1,350,000 in annualized capital/startup and/or operation & maintenance costs. Changes in the Estimates: There is an adjustment increase in the labor hours and costs as compared to the previously-approved ICR. The increase is not due to any program changes. The increase in labor burden and costs occurred for two reasons: (1) This ICR PO 00000 Frm 00041 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 assumes all respondents will have to familiarize with the regulatory requirements each year; and (2) this ICR fixes an error in the previous ICR, which did not include recordkeeping burden for operating parameters. However, there is also an adjustment decrease in the total capital and O&M costs and number of responses as compared to the previous ICR. The decrease occurred for two reasons: (1) The total number of SSI units has decreased since the previous ICR; and (2) this ICR assumes that all facilities will meet the requirements for testing every three years rather than annual testing.

    Abstract: The Emission Guidelines for Sewage Sludge Incinerators 
(SSI) for Sewage Sludge Incinerators (40 CFR part 60, subpart MMMM) 
apply to the administrators of air quality programs in a state or U.S. 
protectorate with one or more SSI units that commenced construction 
either on or before the date of proposal. States may choose to 
incorporate the model rule text directly in their state plan. If a 
State does not develop, adopt, and submit an approvable State plan, the 
EPA must develop a Federal plan to implement the emission guidelines. 
These regulations do not directly apply to SSI unit owners and 
operators. However, SSI unit owners and operators must comply with the 
state plan to implement the emission guidelines contained in this 
Subpart. These standards only affect existing units constructed on or 
before October 14, 2010; therefore, no new units will become subject to 
these same standards. This information is being collected to assure 
compliance with 40 CFR part 60, subpart MMMM.
    In general, all emission guidelines require initial notifications, 
performance tests, and periodic reports by the owners/operators of the 
affected facilities. They 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. These notifications, reports, and 
records are essential in determining compliance, and are required of 
all affected facilities subject to emission guidelines.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Sewage sludge incinerators 
constructed on or before October 14, 2010.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 60, 
subpart MMMM).
    Estimated number of respondents: 86 (total).
    Frequency of response: Initially, semiannually and annually.
    Total estimated burden: 32,800 hours (per year). Burden is defined 
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $4,790,000 (per year), which includes 
$1,350,000 in annualized capital/startup and/or operation & maintenance 
costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is an adjustment increase in the 
labor hours and costs as compared to the previously-approved ICR. The 
increase is not due to any program changes. The increase in labor 
burden and costs occurred for two reasons: (1) This ICR assumes all 
respondents will have to familiarize with the regulatory requirements 
each year; and (2) this ICR fixes an error in the previous ICR, which 
did not include recordkeeping burden for operating parameters. However, 
there is also an adjustment decrease in the total capital and O&M costs 
and number of responses as compared to the previous ICR. The decrease 
occurred for two reasons: (1) The total number of SSI units has 
decreased since the previous ICR; and (2) this ICR assumes that all 
facilities will meet the requirements for testing every three years 
rather than annual testing.
