At that time, the EPA will issue another Federal Register document to announce the submission of the ICR to OMB and the opportunity to submit additional comments to OMB. Abstract: This ICR is for activities related to the implementation of the EPA’s New Source Review (NSR) program, for the time period between November 1, 2020 and October 31, 2023, and renews the previous ICR. Title I, part C of the Clean Air Act (CAA or the Act)—‘‘Prevention of Significant Deterioration,’’ and part D—‘‘Plan Requirements for Nonattainment Areas,’’ require all states to adopt preconstruction review programs for new or modified stationary sources of air pollution. In addition, the provisions of section 110 of the Act include a requirement for states to have a preconstruction review program to manage the emissions from the construction and modification of any stationary source of air pollution to assure that the National Ambient Air Quality Standards are achieved and maintained. Tribes may choose to develop implementation plans to address these requirements. Implementing regulations for these three programs are promulgated at 40 CFR 49.101 through 49.105; 40 CFR 49.151 through 49.173; 40 CFR 51.160 through 51.166; 40 CFR part 51, Appendix S; and 40 CFR 52.21 and 52.24. In order to receive a construction permit for a major new source or major modification, the applicant must conduct the necessary research, perform the appropriate analyses and prepare the permit application with documentation to demonstrate that their project meets all applicable statutory and regulatory NSR requirements. Specific activities and requirements are listed and described in the Supporting Statement for the ICR. State, local, tribal, or federal reviewing authorities review permit applications and provide for public review of proposed projects and issue permits based on their consideration of all technical factors and public input. The EPA, more broadly, reviews a fraction of the total applications and VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:56 Feb 13, 2020 Jkt 250001 audits the state and local programs for their effectiveness. Consequently, information prepared and submitted by sources is essential for sources to receive permits, and for federal, state, and local environmental agencies to adequately review the permit applications and thereby properly administer and manage the NSR programs. Information that is collected is handled according to 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: 5900–246, 5900–247, 5900–248, 5900–340, 5900–341, 5900– 342, 5900–343, 5900–344, 5900–367, 5900–368, 5900–369, 5900–370, 5900– 371, 5900–372, 5900–390, and 5900– 391. Respondents/affected entities: Entities potentially affected by this action are those which must apply for and obtain a preconstruction permit under part C or D or section 110(a)(2)(C) of title I of the Act. In addition, state, local, and tribal reviewing authorities that must review permit applications and issue permits are affected entities. Respondent’s obligation to respond: Mandatory (see 40 CFR part 49, subpart C; 40 CFR part 51, subpart I; 40 CFR part 52, subpart A; 40 CFR part 124, subparts A and C). Estimated number of respondents: 73,516 (total); 73,393 industrial facilities and 123 state, local, and tribal reviewing authorities. Frequency of response: On occasion, as necessary. Total estimated burden: 5,516,675 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.03(b). Total estimated cost: $455,409,456 (per year). This includes $3,847,266 annually in outsourced start-up costs for preconstruction monitoring. Changes in estimates: There is no change in the hours in the total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently approved by OMB because the estimated number of permits of each type has not changed. There is a slight increase in estimated costs as labor costs have been updated from 2016 to 2019 labor rates. Dated: February 10, 2020. Scott Mathias, Acting Director, Air Quality Policy Division.
