The docket can be viewed online at www.regulations.gov or in person at the EPA Docket Center, WJC West, Room 3334, 1301 Constitution Ave. NW, Washington, DC. Abstract: Title V of the Clean Air Act (Act) requires states to develop and implement a program for issuing operating permits to all sources that fall under any Act definition of ‘‘major’’ and certain other non-major sources that are subject to federal air quality regulations. The Act further requires the EPA to PO 00000 Frm 00021 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 17083 develop regulations that establish the minimum requirements for those state operating permits programs and to oversee implementation of the state programs. The EPA regulations setting forth requirements for the state operating permit program are found at 40 CFR part 70. The part 70 program is designed to be implemented primarily by state, local and tribal permitting authorities in all areas where they have jurisdiction. In order to receive an operating permit for a major or other source subject to the permitting program, the applicant must conduct the necessary research, perform the appropriate analyses and prepare the permit application with documentation to demonstrate that its facility meets all applicable statutory and regulatory requirements. Specific activities and requirements are listed and described in the Supporting Statement for the 40 CFR part 70 ICR. Under 40 CFR part 70, state, local and tribal permitting authorities review permit applications, provide for public review of proposed permits, issue permits based on consideration of all technical factors and public input and review information submittals required of sources during the term of the permit. Also, under 40 CFR part 70, the EPA reviews certain actions of the permitting authorities and provides oversight of the programs to ensure that they are being adequately implemented and enforced. Consequently, information prepared and submitted by sources is essential for sources to receive permits, and for federal, state, local and tribal permitting authorities to adequately review the permit applications and thereby properly administer and manage the program. Information that is collected is handled according to the 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: None. Respondents/affected entities: Industrial plants (sources); state, local and tribal permitting authorities. Respondent’s obligation to respond: Mandatory (see 40 CFR part 70). Estimated number of respondents: 14,201 sources and 117 state, local and tribal permitting authorities. Frequency of response: On occasion. Total estimated burden: 4,756,110 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.03(b). Total estimated cost: $345,079,951 (per year). There are no annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs. E:\FR\FM\25MRN1.SGM 25MRN1 17084 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 58 / Friday, March 25, 2022 / Notices Changes in Estimates: There is an increase of 17,186 hours per year for the estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently approved by OMB. This increase is due to updated estimates of the number of sources and permits subject to the part 70 program, rather than any change in federal mandates.

Abstract: On December 15, 1989, pursuant to Section 112 of the Clean Air Act as amended in 1977 (42 U.S.C. 1857), the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) promulgated National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) regulations to control radionuclide emissions from several source categories. The regulations are codified at 40 CFR part 61. Of the eight subparts (B, H, I, K, Q, R, T and W) included in the 1989 rule, as currently amended, four apply to privately-operated facilities. In addition to requiring operational practices that limit emissions, subparts B, K, R, and W impose radionuclide dose and/or emission limits, respectively, to underground uranium mines, elemental phosphorous plants, phosphogypsum stacks, and uranium mill tailings impoundments. Facilities must inspect impoundments, measure radionuclide emissions, perform analyses or calculations per EPA procedures, and report the results to the EPA. Information collected is used by the EPA to ensure that public health and the environment continue to be protected from the hazards of airborne radionuclides by compliance with these standards. Compliance is demonstrated through emissions testing and dose calculation when appropriate. Form Numbers: None.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Supporting documents, which explain in 
detail the information that the EPA will be collecting, are available 
in the public docket for this ICR. The docket can be viewed online at 
www.regulations.gov or in person at the EPA Docket Center, WJC West, 
Room 3334, 1301 Constitution Ave. NW, Washington, DC.
    Abstract: Title V of the Clean Air Act (Act) requires states to 
develop and implement a program for issuing operating permits to all 
sources that fall under any Act definition of ``major'' and certain 
other non-major sources that are subject to federal air quality 
regulations. The Act further requires the EPA to develop regulations 
that establish the minimum requirements for those state operating 
permits programs and to oversee implementation of the state programs. 
The EPA regulations setting forth requirements for the state operating 
permit program are found at 40 CFR part 70. The part 70 program is 
designed to be implemented primarily by state, local and tribal 
permitting authorities in all areas where they have jurisdiction.
    In order to receive an operating permit for a major or other source 
subject to the permitting program, the applicant must conduct the 
necessary research, perform the appropriate analyses and prepare the 
permit application with documentation to demonstrate that its facility 
meets all applicable statutory and regulatory requirements. Specific 
activities and requirements are listed and described in the Supporting 
Statement for the 40 CFR part 70 ICR.
    Under 40 CFR part 70, state, local and tribal permitting 
authorities review permit applications, provide for public review of 
proposed permits, issue permits based on consideration of all technical 
factors and public input and review information submittals required of 
sources during the term of the permit. Also, under 40 CFR part 70, the 
EPA reviews certain actions of the permitting authorities and provides 
oversight of the programs to ensure that they are being adequately 
implemented and enforced. Consequently, information prepared and 
submitted by sources is essential for sources to receive permits, and 
for federal, state, local and tribal permitting authorities to 
adequately review the permit applications and thereby properly 
administer and manage the program.
    Information that is collected is handled according to the 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: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Industrial plants (sources); state, 
local and tribal permitting authorities.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (see 40 CFR part 70).
    Estimated number of respondents: 14,201 sources and 117 state, 
local and tribal permitting authorities.
    Frequency of response: On occasion.
    Total estimated burden: 4,756,110 hours (per year). Burden is 
defined at 5 CFR 1320.03(b).
    Total estimated cost: $345,079,951 (per year). There are no 
annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs.

[[Page 17084]]

    Changes in Estimates: There is an increase of 17,186 hours per year 
for the estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently 
approved by OMB. This increase is due to updated estimates of the 
number of sources and permits subject to the part 70 program, rather 
than any change in federal mandates.
