Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for the regulations published at 40 CFR part 63, subpart OOO were proposed on December 14, 1998, VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:18 Oct 29, 2019 Jkt 250001 promulgated on January 20, 2000, and amended on April 20, 2006, October 8, 2014, and October 15, 2018. These regulations apply to existing facilities and new facilities that engage in the manufacture of amino/phenolic resins with HAP emissions points that include: (1) Reactor batch process vents; (2) nonreactor batch process vents; (3) continuous process vents; (4) equipment leaks; (5) wastewater; (6) storage vessels; and (7) heat exchangers. New facilities include those that commenced construction or reconstruction after the date of proposal of the 2014 rule amendment. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 63, subpart OOO. The October 15, 2018 amendments (83 FR 51842) responded to petitions for reconsideration regarding the NESHAP rule revisions that were promulgated on October 8, 2014 and revised the standards for continuous process vents (CPVs) at existing affected sources, revised the requirements for storage vessels at new and existing sources during periods when an emission control system used to control vents on fixed roof storage vessels is undergoing planned routine maintenance, and included minor technical corrections to improve rule clarity. This renewal incorporates revised costs and burden from activities from these final rule amendments. 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. Respondents/affected entities: Facilities that manufacture amino/ phenolic resins. Respondent’s obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 63, subpart OOO). Estimated number of respondents: 19 (total). Frequency of response: Initially, occasionally, and semiannually. Total estimated burden: 23,300 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b). Total estimated cost: $4,910,000 (per year), which includes $2,210,000 annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs. PO 00000 Frm 00028 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 58153 Changes in the Estimates: There is an increase in burden from the most recently approved ICR. This renewal incorporates revised costs and burden from activities applicable to a subset of facilities with storage tanks or continuous process vents, which includes recordkeeping, reporting and monitoring requirements. There is an increase in the annual O&M costs for facilities with RTOs for control of continuous process vents. Courtney Kerwin, Director, Regulatory Support Division.

Abstract: The collection of information is necessary in order to receive applications for credit assistance pursuant to section 5024 of the Water Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act (WIFIA) of 2014, 33 U.S.C. 3903. The purpose of the WIFIA program is to provide Federal credit assistance in the form of direct loans and loan guarantees to eligible water infrastructure projects. WIFIA requires that an eligible entity submit to the Administrator an application at such time, in such manner, and containing such information, as the Secretary or the Administrator may require to receive assistance under WIFIA. In order to satisfy these requirements, EPA must collect an application from prospective borrowers seeking funding. The Letters of Interest and Applications collected from prospective borrowers through this solicitation will be used by the EPA, WIFIA program staff, and reviewers to evaluate applications for credit assistance under the WIFIA eligibility requirements and selection criteria. Form Numbers: SWIFIA Application—6100–030; SWIFIA Letter of Interest—6100–031; WIFIA VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:18 Oct 29, 2019 Jkt 250001 Application—6100–032; WIFIA Letter of Interest—6100–033. Respondents/affected entities: Corporations, partnerships, joint ventures, trusts, federal, state, or local government entities, tribal governments or a consortium of tribal governments, and state infrastructure finance authorities. Respondent’s obligation to respond: The collection is required to obtain credit assistance pursuant to section 5024 of WIFIA, 33 U.S.C. 3903. Estimated number of respondents: 100 per year (total). Frequency of response: Once. Total estimated burden: 10,825 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.03(b). Total estimated cost: $14,946,754 (per year), which includes 14,500,000 annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs. Changes in the Estimates: There is an increase of 9,325 hours in the total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently approved by OMB. This increase is due to EPA receiving more Letters of Interest and applications than it originally estimated during program inception. Initially, EPA estimated the program would receive 20 LOIs and 5 applications. This was based on the amount of budget authority initially authorized for WIFIA. However, in 2017, the program received 43 LOIs and invited 12 prospective borrowers to apply. In 2018, the program received 62 LOIs and invited 39 prospective borrowers to apply. In addition, EPA is including the newly authorized State Revolving Fund WIFIA (SWIFIA) program as part of this ICR renewal. EPA estimates that WIFIA will receive 5 LOIs and 5 applications through SWIFIA. Courtney Kerwin, Director, Regulatory Support Division.
