Abstract: The National Emission
Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants
(NESHAP) for Polyvinyl Chloride and
Copolymers Production (40 CFR part 63,
subpart HHHHHHH) apply to both
existing and new PVC production
facilities. Area source PVC facilities are
subject to 40 CFR part 63, subpart
DDDDDD and not covered in this ICR.
New facilities include those that
commenced construction or
reconstruction after the date of proposal.
In general, all NESHAP 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, and are required of all
affected facilities subject to NESHAP.
This information is being collected to
assure compliance with 40 CFR part 63,
subpart HHHHHHH.
Form Numbers: None.
Respondents/affected entities:
Polyvinyl chloride and copolymer
production facilities that are major
sources of HAP.
Respondent’s obligation to respond:
Mandatory (40 CFR part 63, subpart
HHHHHHH).
Estimated number of respondents: 15
(total).
Frequency of response: Initially,
occasionally, and semiannually.
Total estimated burden: 338,000
hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5
CFR 1320.3(b).
Total estimated cost: $45,500,000 (per
year), which includes $7,060,000 in
annualized capital/startup and/or
operation & maintenance costs.
Changes in the Estimates: There is a
decrease in the burden hours in this
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 247001
ICR, compared to the previous ICR, due
to a decrease in the number of
respondents. In addition, there is an
increase in operation and maintenance
costs due to updated cost estimates for
process vent testing, which were
provided by the Vinyl Institute.

Issuance of a NPDES General Permit
for Offshore Seafood Processors in
Federal Waters Off the Coast of
Washington and Oregon; Permit
Number WAG520000
Environmental Protection
Agency.
ACTION: Final NPDES General Permit.
AGENCY:
SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) Region 10 is issuing a
National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System (NPDES) General
Permit to seafood processing vessels
that discharge in Federal Waters off the
coast of Washington and Oregon. The
General Permit will authorize
discharges of seafood processing waste
from the vessels. This is the first
issuance of this General Permit, and the
first time this sector has received
NPDES permit coverage off the coast of
Oregon and Washington.
DATES: The issuance date of the General
Permit is March 18, 2019, the date of
publication of this notice. The General
Permit will become effective on May 1,
2019.
ADDRESSES: Copies of the General
Permit and Response to Comments are
available upon request at the following
address: USEPA Region 10, 1200 Sixth
Avenue, Suite 155, OWW–191, Seattle,
WA 98101. Electronic requests may be
mailed to: Washington.audrey@epa.gov.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Technical Information: Joseph Ziobro at
(206) 553–2723 ziobro.joseph@epa.gov.
The General Permit, Response to
Comments, and supporting documents
may be found on the Region 10 website
at: https://www.epa.gov/npdes-permits/
proposed-npdes-general-permitoffshore-seafood-processors-federalwaters-coast.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
General Information
The NPDES General Permit authorizes
discharges of seafood processing waste
PO 00000
Frm 00052
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
from seafood processing vessels that
discharge in Federal Waters off the coast
of Washington and Oregon. Federal
Waters are defined as waters that are
located between 3 and 200 miles from
the land or baseline. The General Permit
does not authorize discharges within the
State of Washington or State of Oregon
waters, this includes water within three
miles of the land (i.e., the State’s
territorial waters). The State of
Washington and the State of Oregon are
the permitting authorities for these state
waters.
The EPA completed two public
comment periods for the draft General
Permit. The first comment period was
from August 24, 2015 to October 8, 2015
(80 FR 51253, August 24, 2015). Based
on the comments received during the
public comment period, the EPA revised
the draft General Permit. The EPA took
comment on those revisions during a
second comment period from June 6,
2017 to August 3, 2017 (82 FR 27817,
June 6, 2017).
This will be the first issuance of this
General Permit. The offshore seafood
processing operators requested NPDES
permit coverage for operations
discharging off the coast of Washington
and Oregon, since these vessels are
currently discharging without a permit
in this area. The vessels that will be
covered under this Permit are catcherprocessors and motherships. These
vessels fish and process the fish caught
concurrently.
Other Legal Requirements
Regulatory Action
This action is not significant and was
therefore not submitted to the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) for
review under Executive Orders 12866,
Regulatory Planning and Review, and
13563, Improving Regulation and
Regulatory Review.
Coastal Zone Management Act—Federal
Consistency Determination
Beginning in 2016, the EPA began
engaging with the Washington
Department of Ecology (Washington)
and the Oregon Department of Land
Conservation and Development
(Oregon) in Coastal Zone Management
Act (CZMA) consistency review
pursuant to Section 307 of the CZMA
and its implementing regulations at 15
CFR part 930, subpart C. In June 2017,
the EPA provided the Washington
Department of Ecology and Oregon
Department of Land Conservation and
Development with a Federal
Consistency Determination for the
permit action. The EPA determined that
the General Permit is fully consistent
