Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Stationary Combustion Turbines were proposed on January 14, 2003; promulgated on March 5, 2004; and amended last on April 20, 2006. The regulations apply to sources that either commenced construction or reconstruction after January 14, 2003. On August 18, 2004, these standards were amended to stay the effectiveness for the two gas-fired stationary combustion turbine subcategories (i.e., lean pre-mix gas-fired turbines and diffusion flame gas-fired turbines). Under this stay, new sources in either subcategory that are either constructed or reconstructed after January 14, 2003 are required to submit initial notification reports, but are also relieved of the obligation to comply with other reporting or monitoring requirements until EPA makes a final decision. Amendments to the NESHAP were proposed on April 12, 2019, as a result of a residual risk and technology review (RTR) required under the Clean Air Act (CAA; however, these amendments have not been finalized and no burden associated with the proposed amendments is included in this ICR. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 63, subpart YYYY. 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. Form Numbers: None. VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:43 Aug 29, 2019 Jkt 247001 Respondents/affected entities: Owners or operators of stationary combustion turbines. Respondent’s obligation to respond: Mandatory 40 CFR part 63. Estimated number of respondents: 122 (total). Frequency of response: Annual, semiannual. Total estimated burden: 1,430 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b). Total estimated cost: $166,000 (per year), which includes $0 in annualized capital/startup and/or operation & maintenance costs. Changes in the Estimates: The decrease in burden from the most recently-approved ICR is due to an adjustment. The number of respondents in this ICR is based on an inventory conducted as part of the Risk and Technology Review for this source category. The inventory reflects an increase in the number of facilities with gas-fired stationary combustion turbines and a decrease in the number of facilities with landfill or digester gasfired and oil-fired stationary combustion turbines. The decrease in burden, capital, and operation and maintenance costs reflects industry trends towards gas-fired turbines. Turbines included in the two gas-fired subcategories that are either constructed or reconstructed after January 14, 2003 are required to submit initial notification reports, but are currently not required to comply with other reporting or monitoring requirements until EPA makes a final decision on the rule.

ACTION: Notice. AGENCY: The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 10 Regional Administrator is providing notice of the EPA’s decision to withdraw the Proposed Determination to restrict the use of certain waters in the South Fork Koktuli River, North Fork Koktuli River, and Upper Talarik Creek watersheds in southwest Alaska as disposal sites for dredged or fill material associated with mining the Pebble deposit. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Visit www.epa.gov/bristolbay. Erik Peterson is the project manager. Please call a Bristol Bay-specific phone line at (206) 553–0040, or email r10bristolbay@ epa.gov. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: SUMMARY: I. General Information EPA Region 10 is providing notice under 40 CFR 231.5(c) of EPA’s withdrawal of the Proposed Determination to restrict the use of certain waters in the South Fork Koktuli River, North Fork Koktuli River, and Upper Talarik Creek watersheds in southwest Alaska as disposal sites for dredged or fill material associated with mining the Pebble deposit issued under EPA’s Clean Water Act (CWA) Section 404(c) authority. EPA is concluding the process it started in July 2017, suspended in January 2018, and resumed in June 2019 to withdraw the Proposed Determination. EPA has decided that now is the appropriate time to complete the withdrawal of the Proposed Determination in light of developments in the record and the availability of processes for EPA to address record issues with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) prior to any potential future decision-making by EPA regarding this matter. A. How to Obtain a Copy of the Proposed Determination: The July 2014 Proposed Determination is available via the internet on the EPA Region 10 Bristol Bay site at www.epa.gov/ bristolbay. B. How to Obtain a Copy of the Settlement Agreement: The May 11, PO 00000 Frm 00041 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 45749 2017, settlement agreement is available via the internet on the EPA Region 10 Bristol Bay site at www.epa.gov/ bristolbay. C. How to Obtain a Copy of the Proposal to Withdraw the Proposed Determination: The July 2017 proposal to withdraw the Proposed Determination is available via the internet on the EPA Region 10 Bristol Bay site at www.epa.gov/bristolbay. Information regarding the proposal to withdraw can also be found in the docket for this effort at www.regulations.gov, see docket ID No. EPA–R10–OW–2017–0369 or use the following link: https:// www.regulations.gov/ docket?D=EPAR10-OW-2017-0369. D. How to Obtain a Copy of Notification of Suspension: The February 2018 notice announcing the EPA’s decision to suspend the proceeding to withdraw the Proposed Determination at that time is available via the internet on the EPA Region 10 Bristol Bay site at www.epa.gov/ bristolbay. II. Factual Background In 2011, EPA initiated an assessment to determine the significance of the Bristol Bay watershed’s ecological resources and evaluate the potential impacts of large-scale mining on these resources. The stated purpose was to characterize the biological and mineral resources of the Bristol Bay watershed; increase understanding of the potential impacts of large-scale mining on the Region’s fish resources; and inform future decision-making. Also in 2011, Northern Dynasty Minerals, which wholly owns the Pebble Limited Partnership (PLP), submitted information to the United States Securities and Exchange Commission that detailed its intention to develop a large-scale mine at the Pebble deposit. EPA Region 10 used this information to develop its mining scenarios for the Bristol Bay Watershed Assessment. After two rounds of public comments on drafts of the Bristol Bay Watershed Assessment in 2012 and 2013 that generated over one million comments, as well as independent external peer review, EPA Region 10 finalized the Assessment in January of 2014. On July 21, 2014, EPA Region 10 published in the Federal Register (79 FR 42314) a Notice of Proposed Determination under section 404(c) of the CWA to restrict the use of certain waters in the South Fork Koktuli River, North Fork Koktuli River, and Upper Talarik Creek watersheds (located within the larger Bristol Bay watershed) as disposal sites for dredged or fill E:\FR\FM\30AUN1.SGM 30AUN1

changes to 40 CFR part 258 on a State level, owners/operators of 
municipal solid waste landfills have to comply with the final reporting 
and recordkeeping requirements. Respondents include owners or operators

requested until the end of the post-closure care period of the MSWLF. 
The information collected will be used by the State Director to confirm 
owner or operator compliance with the regulations under Part 258. These 
owners or operators could include federal, state, and local 
governments, and private waste management companies. Facilities in 
NAICS codes 9221, 5622, 3252, 3251 and 3253 may be affected by this 
rule.
