Changes in the Estimates: There is no change in burden from the mostrecently approved ICR as currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved Burdens. This situation is due to two considerations. First, the regulations have not changed over the past three years and are not anticipated to change over the next three years. Second, the growth rate for this industry is very low or non-existent, so there is no significant change in the overall burden. Since there are no changes in the regulatory requirements and there is no significant industry growth, there are also no changes in the capital/startup or E:\FR\FM\26JAN1.SGM 26JAN1 4016 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 17 / Wednesday, January 26, 2022 / Notices operation and maintenance (O&M) costs.

Abstract: EPA is renewing an ICR for the Cross-State Air Pollution Rule (CSAPR) trading programs to allow for continued implementation of the programs. The information collection requirements under five CSAPR trading programs and the Texas SO2 Trading Program are reflected in the existing ICR as most recently revised in 2018. In 2021, EPA promulgated an additional CSAPR NOX Ozone trading program which only includes sources previously subject to another CSAPR trading program reflected in the current ICR. This ICR renewal reflects all six CSAPR trading programs and the Texas SO2 Trading Program. Most affected sources under the CSAPR and Texas trading programs are also subject to the Acid Rain Program (ARP). The information collection requirements under the CSAPR and Texas trading programs, which consist primarily of requirements to monitor and report emissions data in accordance with 40 CFR part 75, substantially overlap and are fully integrated with ARP information collection requirements. The burden and costs of overlapping requirements are accounted for in the ARP ICR (OMB Control Number 2060–0258). This ICR accounts for information collection burden and costs under the CSAPR and Texas trading programs that are incremental to the burden and costs already accounted for in the ARP ICR. PO 00000 Frm 00053 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 All data received by EPA will be treated as public information. Form Numbers: Agent Notice of Delegation #5900–172, Certificate of Representation #7610–1, General Account Form #7610–5, Allowance Transfer Form #7610–6, Retired Unit Exemption #7610–20, Allowance Deduction #7620–4. Respondents/affected entities: Industry respondents are stationary, fossil fuel-fired boilers and combustion turbines serving electricity generators subject to the CSAPR and Texas trading programs, as well as non-source entities voluntarily participating in allowance trading activities. Potential state respondents are states that can elect to submit state-determined allowance allocations for sources located in their states. Respondents’ obligation to respond: Industry respondents: Voluntary and mandatory (Sections 110(a) and 301(a) of the Clean Air Act). State respondents: Voluntary. Estimated number of respondents: EPA estimates that there are 953 industry respondents, including 903 affected sources and 50 non-source entities participating in allowance trading activities, and 27 potential state respondents. Frequency of response: On occasion, quarterly, and annually. Total estimated burden: 113,512 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.03(b). Total estimated cost: $16,482,349 (per year); includes $7,095,827 annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs. Changes in Estimates: There is decrease of 20,911 hours in the total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently approved by OMB. This decrease is due almost entirely to adjustments in the estimated numbers of respondents and transactions. Courtney Kerwin, Director, Regulatory Support Division.

    Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air 
Pollutants (NESHAP) for Plating and Polishing Area Sources (40 CFR part 
63, subpart WWWWWW) apply to both existing and new plating and 
polishing facilities that are an area source of hazardous air pollutant 
(HAP) emissions and that use one or more of the following metal HAP: 
Cadmium, chromium, lead manganese, or nickel (hereafter referred to as 
the plating and polishing metal HAP). A plating and polishing facility 
is a plant site that is engaged in any of the following processes: Non-
chromium electroplating; electroless or non-electrolytic plating; other 
non-electrolytic metal coating processes such as chromate conversion 
coating, nickel acetate sealing, sodium dichromate sealing, and 
manganese phosphate coating, and thermal spraying; dry mechanical 
polishing of finished metals and formed products after plating or 
thermal spraying; electroforming; and electro-polishing. New facilities 
include those that commenced construction, modification, 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 with 40 CFR part 63, subpart WWWWWW.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Plating and polishing area source 
facilities.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 63, 
subpart WWWWWW).
    Estimated number of respondents: 2,900 (total).
    Frequency of response: Initially and annually.
    Total estimated burden: 67,700 hours (per year). Burden is defined 
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $8,000,000 (per year), which includes no 
annualized capital/startup or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is no change in burden from the 
most-recently approved ICR as currently identified in the OMB Inventory 
of Approved Burdens. This situation is due to two considerations. 
First, the regulations have not changed over the past three years and 
are not anticipated to change over the next three years. Second, the 
growth rate for this industry is very low or non-existent, so there is 
no significant change in the overall burden. Since there are no changes 
in the regulatory requirements and there is no significant industry 
growth, there are also no changes in the capital/startup or

operation and maintenance (O&M) costs.
