Abstract: Title V of the CAA requires states to develop and implement a program for issuing operating permits to all sources that fall under any Act definition of ‘‘major’’ and certain other non-major sources that are subject to Federal air quality regulations. The Act further requires the EPA to develop regulations that establish the minimum requirements for those state operating permits programs and to oversee implementation of the state programs. The EPA regulations setting forth requirements for the state operating permit program are found at 40 CFR part 70. The part 70 program is designed to be implemented primarily by state, local and tribal permitting authorities in all areas where they have jurisdiction. In order to receive an operating permit for a major or other source subject to the permitting program, the applicant must conduct the necessary research, perform the appropriate analyses and prepare the permit application with documentation to demonstrate that its facility meets all applicable statutory and regulatory requirements. Specific activities and requirements are listed and described in the Supporting Statement for the 40 CFR part 70 ICR. Under 40 CFR part 70, state, local and tribal permitting authorities review permit applications, provide for public review of proposed permits, issue permits based on consideration of all technical factors and public input and review information submittals required of sources during the term of the permit. Also, under 40 CFR part 70, the EPA reviews certain actions of the permitting authorities and provides oversight of the programs to ensure that they are being adequately implemented and enforced. Consequently, information prepared and submitted by sources is essential for sources to receive permits, and for federal, state, local and tribal permitting authorities to adequately review the permit applications and thereby properly administer and manage the program. Information that is collected is handled according to the EPA’s policies set forth in title 40, chapter 1, part 2, subpart B—Confidentiality of Business Information (see 40 CFR part 2). See also section 114(c) of the Act. Form Numbers: None. Respondents/affected entities: Industrial plants (sources); state, local and tribal permitting authorities. Respondent’s obligation to respond: Mandatory (see 40 CFR part 70). PO 00000 Frm 00008 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 5667 Estimated number of respondents: 13,712 sources and 117 state, local and tribal permitting authorities. Frequency of response: On occasion. Total estimated burden: 4,738,925 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.03(b). Total estimated cost: $321,878,589 (per year). There are no annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs. Changes in Estimates: There is a decrease of 429,890 hours per year for the estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently approved by OMB. This decrease is due to updated estimates of the number of sources and permits subject to the part 70 program, rather than any change in federal mandates.

Abstract: The NESHAP for Industrial, Commercial, and Institutional Boilers Area Sources (40 CFR part 63, subpart JJJJJJ) affects new and existing industrial, commercial, and institutional boilers that are located at or part of area sources of hazardous air pollutants (HAP). The standard contains six subcategories: Existing boilers designed to burn biomass, coal, or liquid fuels and new boilers designed to burn biomass, coal, or liquid fuels. The information collection activities include initial and annual stack tests, fuel analyses, operating parameter monitoring, biennial tune-ups, one-time energy audits, one-time and periodic reports, and maintenance of records. Varying levels of requirements apply to each subcategory. The information collection activities will enable EPA to DATES: VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:52 Feb 21, 2019 Jkt 247001 determine initial and continuous compliance with emission standards for regulated pollutants, and ensure that facilities conduct proper planning, operation, and unit maintenance. The provisions of Section 114(a)(1) of the Clean Air Act, 42 U.S.C. 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. Form Numbers: None. Respondents/affected entities: Owners and operators of industrial, commercial, or institutional boilers. Respondent’s obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR 63, subpart JJJJJJ). Estimated number of respondents: 100,374 (total). Frequency of response: Initially, biennially, semiannually and annually. Total estimated burden: 1,830,000 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b). Total estimated cost: Total annual labor costs are $208,000,000 (per year), and annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs are $132,000,000. Changes in the Estimates: There is an increase in the total estimated burden previously identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved Burdens. This increase is not due to any program changes. The change in burden and cost estimates occurred because the number of respondents has increased, resulting in an increase in the number of responses and the total respondent labor hours. This ICR reflects the on-going burden and costs for existing facilities and the costs to new facilities and includes new estimates of ‘burden’ for existing sources to refamiliarize themselves with the rule provisions each year, which is estimated at one hour per source per year. The overall result is an increase in burden hours and costs. There is also an increase in total annual capital/startup and O&M costs as compared to the previous ICR. This increase is attributed to the fact that new facilities complying with the rules have initial compliance costs. All existing facilities will have on-going O&M costs.

    Abstract: The NESHAP for Industrial, Commercial, and Institutional 
Boilers Area Sources (40 CFR part 63, subpart JJJJJJ) affects new and 
existing industrial, commercial, and institutional boilers that are 
located at or part of area sources of hazardous air pollutants (HAP). 
The standard contains six subcategories: Existing boilers designed to 
burn biomass, coal, or liquid fuels and new boilers designed to burn 
biomass, coal, or liquid fuels. The information collection activities 
include initial and annual stack tests, fuel analyses, operating 
parameter monitoring, biennial tune-ups, one-time energy audits, one-
time and periodic reports, and maintenance of records. Varying levels 
of requirements apply to each subcategory. The information collection 
activities will enable EPA to determine initial and continuous 
compliance with emission standards for regulated pollutants, and ensure 
that facilities conduct proper planning, operation, and unit 
maintenance. The provisions of Section 114(a)(1) of the Clean Air Act, 
42 U.S.C. 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.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Owners and operators of industrial, 
commercial, or institutional boilers.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR 63, subpart 
JJJJJJ).
    Estimated number of respondents: 100,374 (total).
    Frequency of response: Initially, biennially, semiannually and 
annually.
    Total estimated burden: 1,830,000 hours (per year). Burden is 
defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: Total annual labor costs are $208,000,000 
(per year), and annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs are 
$132,000,000.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is an increase in the total 
estimated burden previously identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved 
Burdens. This increase is not due to any program changes. The change in 
burden and cost estimates occurred because the number of respondents 
has increased, resulting in an increase in the number of responses and 
the total respondent labor hours. This ICR reflects the on-going burden 
and costs for existing facilities and the costs to new facilities and 
includes new estimates of `burden' for existing sources to 
refamiliarize themselves with the rule provisions each year, which is 
estimated at one hour per source per year. The overall result is an 
increase in burden hours and costs.
    There is also an increase in total annual capital/startup and O&M 
costs as compared to the previous ICR. This increase is attributed to 
the fact that new facilities complying with the rules have initial 
compliance costs. All existing facilities will have on-going O&M costs.
