Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 28 / Monday, February 11, 2019 / Notices period of the previous ICR. The overall result is a decrease in costs to the industry. The supporting statement for this information collection was revised to clarify and consolidate the information items requested (including notification, reporting, and recordkeeping requirements) and respondent activities in section 4(b), as well as for agency activities in section 5(a). These requirements were previously listed in Appendix A of the prior ICR and have been relocated in sections 4(b) and 5(a) to help more easily identify the relevant data items and activities that contribute to burden. There are no changes to these requirements from the prior ICR. Courtney Kerwin, Director, Regulatory Support Division.

Abstract: The New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for Nonmetallic Mineral Processing (40 CFR part 60, subpart OOO) apply to the following affected facilities in fixed or portable nonmetallic mineral processing plants: Each crusher, grinding mill, screening operation, bucket elevator, belt conveyor, bagging operation, storage bin, and enclosed truck or railcar loading station, which commenced construction, modification or reconstruction after August 31, 1983. Also, crushers and grinding mills at hot mix asphalt facilities that reduce the size of nonmetallic minerals embedded in recycled asphalt pavement and subsequent affected facilities up to, but not including, the first storage silo or bin are subject to the provisions of the subpart. 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 PO 00000 Frm 00025 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 3161 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 OOO. Form Numbers: None. Respondents/Affected Entities: Nonmetallic mineral processing facilities. Respondent’s Obligation to Respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 60, subpart OOO). Estimated Number of Respondents: 5,095 (total). Frequency of Response: Initially and occasionally. Total Estimated Burden: 20,200 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b). Total Estimated Cost: $2,450,000 (per year), which includes $228,000 in annualized capital/setup and/or operation & maintenance costs. Changes in the Estimates: The increase in burden for respondents from the most recently approved ICR is due to two adjustments. The first adjustment increase in burden is an increase in the number of new or modified sources. The second adjustment increase in burden from the most recently approved ICR is the addition of burden hours to account for the time spent by existing facilities to re-familiarize themselves annually with the rule requirements.

Abstract: Air Stationary Source Compliance and Enforcement Information Reporting is an activity whereby State, Local, Native American, Territorial, and Commonwealth governments (hereafter referred to as either ‘‘states/locals’’ or ‘‘state and local agencies’’) make air stationary source compliance and enforcement information available to the U.S. PO 00000 Frm 00026 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Environmental Protection Agency (EPA or the Agency) on a cyclic basis via input to the Air component of the Integrated Compliance Information System (ICIS-Air). ICIS-Air supports EPA and state and local agency efforts to ensure compliance with the nation’s environmental laws pertaining to air, via the collection and management of important Clean Air Act (CAA or the ‘‘Act’’) compliance and enforcement information. ICIS-Air is a subcomponent of ICIS, which provides compliance and enforcement information on thousands of facilities regulated under numerous federal statutes. The information provided to EPA via ICIS-Air includes source information, compliance monitoring activities, violation determinations, and enforcement activities. EPA will use this information to assess the health of the compliance and enforcement program established under the CAA, and to protect and maintain air quality, public health, and the environment. Agencies receive delegation of the CAA through regulated grant authorities, and report compliance/enforcement activities undertaken at stationary sources pursuant to the Minimum Data Requirements (MDRs) as outlined in this ICR. The provisions of Section 114(a)(1) of the Clean Air Act, 42 U.S. C Section 7414(a)(1) provide the broad authority for the reporting of compliance monitoring and enforcement information, along with Subpart Q-Reports in 40 CFR 51: Sections 51.324(a) and (b), and 51.327. This renewal requires the continuation of reporting of previously established MDRs via either direct, on-line entry or electronic data transfer (EDT) to ICISAir. Form Numbers: None. Respondents/affected entities: 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 (total). Frequency of response: Every 60 days. Total estimated burden: 26,100 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b). Total estimated cost: $1,280,000 (per year). There are no annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs. Changes in the Estimates: There is a decrease of 25,313 hours compared to the currently approved ICR. The currently approved ICR includes burden for the use of ICIS-Air as well as the transition from the AFS to the ICIS-Air E:\FR\FM\11FEN1.SGM 11FEN1
