SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On
October 13, 2005, the final Cross-Media
Electronic Reporting Rule (CROMERR)
was published in the Federal Register
(70 FR 59848) and codified as part 3 of
title 40 of the CFR. 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, electronic
reports under their EPA-authorized
programs must apply to 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
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 September 11, 2018, the Kansas
Department of Health and Environment
(KDHE) submitted an application titled
‘‘Kansas Environmental Information
Management System’’ for revisions/
modifications to its EPA-approved
programs under title 40 CFR to allow
new electronic reporting. EPA reviewed
KDHE’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 Kansas’
request to revise/modify its following
EPA-authorized programs to allow
electronic reporting under 40 CFR parts
50–52, 60–65, and 70, is being
published in the Federal Register:
Part 52—Approval and Promulgation
of Implementation Plans;
Part 60—Standards of Performance
For New Stationary Sources;
Part 62—Approval and Promulgation
of State Plans for Designated Facilities
and Pollutants;
Part 63—National Emission Standards
for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Source

Part 70—State Operating Permit
Programs.

Abstract: The New Source
Performance Standards (NSPS) for
Metallic Mineral Processing Plants (40
CFR part 60, subpart LL) apply to the
following facilities at metallic mineral
processing plants: Each crusher and
screen at open-pit mines and each
crusher, screen, bucket elevator,
conveyor belt transfer point, thermal
dryer, product packaging station, storage
bin, enclosed storage area, and truck
loading and unloading station at mills
or concentrators commencing
construction, modification or
reconstruction after the date of proposal.
The NSPS does not apply to facilities
located in underground mines or
uranium ore beneficiation processing
plants.
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 LL.
Form numbers: None.
Respondents/affected entities:
Metallic mineral processing plants.
Respondent’s obligation to respond:
Mandatory (40 CFR part 60, subpart LL).
Estimated number of respondents: 20
(total).
Frequency of response: Initially,
occasionally, and semiannually.

Total estimated burden: 2,330 hours
(per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR
1320.3(b).
Total estimated cost: $268,000 (per
year), which includes $13,000 in
annualized capital/startup and/or
operation & maintenance costs.
Changes in the Estimates: There is an
adjustment increase of 24 labor hours
due to a change in assumption. This ICR
assumes all existing sources will spend
time each year to re-familiarize with the
regulations. There are no other changes
in burden in this ICR compared to the
previous ICR. This is due to two
considerations: (1) The regulations have
not changed over the past three years,
and are not anticipated to change over
the next three years; and (2) the growth
rate for the industry is very low,
negative or non-existent, so there is no
significant change in the overall burden.

Director, Regulatory Support Division.

Abstract: The New Source
Performance Standards (NSPS) for Kraft
Pulp Mills apply to the following
facilities at kraft pulp mills: Recovery
furnaces, smelt dissolving tanks, lime
kilns, digester systems, brown stock
washer systems, black liquor oxidation
systems, multiple effect evaporator
systems and condensate stripper
systems that were constructed, modified
or reconstructed after the date of
proposal. In pulp mills where kraft
pulping is combined with neutral sulfite
semi-chemical pulping, the provisions
of this Subpart are applicable when any
portion of the material charged to an
affected facility is produced by the kraft
pulping operation. Facilities may be
exempt from the total reduced sulfur
(TRS) standard if the facility can
demonstrate that TRS emissions from a
