Form Numbers: None.
Respondents/affected entities: Entities
affected by this action are states and
local governments.
Respondent’s obligation to respond:
Required to obtain or retain a benefit per
the Safe Drinking Water Act Section
1452(g)(1).
Estimated number of respondents:
379 state and local respondents (total).
Frequency of response: Varies by
requirement (i.e., quarterly, semiannually, and annually).
Total estimated burden: 88,793 hours
(per year) for state and local
respondents. Burden is defined at 5 CFR
1320.03(b).
Total estimated cost: $3,355,516 (per
year) for state and local respondents.
Changes in estimates: There is a net
decrease in total respondent burden
hours from the previous ICR. This is due
to burden calculated with alternating 25
states and 26 states each year producing
biennial reports. Since ICR’s capture 3year timeframes, some ICRs will have
more years of 26 state reports then
other. There is also a correction to the
calculation of EPA burden hours. These
have been increased to more accurately
align EPA review of audits with State
burden of audits, with both tables
assuming each state will audit every
year.

Abstract: The New Source
Performance Standards (NSPS), for
which Construction, Re-construction, or
Modification Commenced after May 14,
PO 00000
Frm 00029
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
2007 (40 CFR part 60, subpart Ja) apply
to the following affected facilities in
petroleum refineries: Fluid catalytic
cracking units (FCCU), fluid coking
units (FCU), delayed coking units, fuel
gas combustion devices (FGCD), process
heaters, flares and sulfur recovery
plants. Except for flares, these
regulations apply to affected facilities at
existing and new petroleum refineries
that are constructed, reconstructed, or
modified after May 14, 2007. The
provisions of this subpart apply to flares
which commence construction,
modification or reconstruction after
June 24, 2008. New facilities include
those that commenced construction,
modification or reconstruction after the
date of proposal. This information is
being collected to assure compliance
with 40 CFR part 60, subpart Ja.
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,
and are required of all affected facilities
subject to NSPS.
Form Numbers: None.
Respondents/affected entities:
Petroleum refineries constructed,
reconstructed, or modified after May 14,
2007.
Respondent’s obligation to respond:
Mandatory (40 CFR part 63, subpart Ja).
Estimated number of respondents:
150 (total).
Frequency of response: Initially and
semiannually.
Total estimated burden: 355,000
hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5
CFR 1320.3(b).
Total estimated cost: $143,000,000
(per year), which includes $102,000,000
in annualized capital/startup and/or
operation & maintenance costs.
Changes in the Estimates: The
adjustment increase in burden from the
most recently-approved ICR is due to an
increase in the estimates for the number
of existing facilities located at
petroleum refineries that become subject
to the requirements of Subpart Ja
because they are newly constructed,
reconstructed or modified. The previous
ICR renewal estimated that
approximately 54 facilities with 2 CEMS
each would become affected facilities
subject to the rule each year. In this
renewal ICR, that estimate has been
increased to 100 facilities with 3 CEMS/
CPMS each. The increase in burden is
E:\FR\FM\29APN1.SGM
29APN1
Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 82 / Monday, April 29, 2019 / Notices
due to an increase in the estimates for
the number of new, reconstructed, or
modified facilities that are required to
conduct initial performance tests on the
equipment and the emissions and
parameter monitors (CEMS and CPMS).
For each startup and test of new,
modified, or reconstructed equipment,
there are numerous notifications and
reports that must be submitted and
reviewed. The adjustment increase in
burden also reflects an increase in the
number of CEMS and CPMS monitors
on existing affected facilities that
require routine performance audits
(Relative Accuracy Audits or Cylinder
Gas Audits) and relative accuracy
testing; these costs were not included in
the prior ICR.
The increase in burden also reflects
an increase in the estimates for the costs
of new equipment and the required
CEMS/CPMS monitors. The previous
ICR renewal did not include the capital/
startup costs for new, modified, or
reconstructed equipment/process lines.
This ICR estimates that, out of 100
facilities per year that become subject to
the rule due to construction,
modification, or reconstruction, 50 of
these affected facilities per year will
incur significant capital/startup costs.
The increase in capital and O&M costs
from the most recently approved ICR
also reflects an increase in the estimates
for the number of existing facilities
located at petroleum refineries that are
already subject to the requirements of
Subpart Ja. The O&M costs for the CEMS
and CPMS monitors on these existing
facilities (280 flares and 600 other
process units) were not accounted for in
the prior ICR and are significant. The
estimates of O&M costs for CEMS
monitors have also been increased from
approximately $15,000 per year to
$25,000 per year based on comments
provided by industry.

Abstract: The Emission Guidelines
and Compliance Times for Small
Municipal Waste Combustion Units
Constructed on or Before August 30,
1999 were originally promulgated in
December 1995, but were vacated by the
Federal Court in March 1997.
Subsequently, the Emission Guidelines
were re-proposed on August 30, 1999,
and promulgated on December 6, 2000.
The Emission Guidelines regulate
organics (dioxin/furans), metals
(cadmium, lead, mercury), particulate
matter, and acid gases (hydrogen
chloride, sulfur dioxide, and nitrogen
oxides) for small Municipal Waste
Combustion (MWC) units. Small MWC
units are MWC units with capacities to
combust greater than 35 tons per day
(tpd) and less than 250 tons per day
(tpd) of municipal solid waste. The
Emission Guidelines contain
monitoring, reporting, and
recordkeeping requirements that are to
be included in state plans. This
Information Collection Request (ICR)
identifies the burden for States and U.S.
territories to develop and implement
State plans, and the burden for small
MWCs imposed by these State plans.
This information is being collected to
assure compliance with 40 CFR part 60,
subpart BBBB.
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
