Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Mineral Wool Production (40 CFR part 63, subpart DDD) were proposed on May 8, 1997; promulgated on June 1, 1999; and amended on July 29, 2015. These regulations apply to both new and existing mineral wool production facilities with cupolas and/ or curing ovens. These standards apply to owners or operators located at a plant site that is a major source of hazardous air pollutant (HAP) emissions. New facilities include those that commenced either construction or reconstruction after the date of proposal. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 63, subpart DDD. 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: Mineral wool production facilities with cupolas and/or curing ovens. Respondent’s obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 63, subpart DDD). Estimated number of respondents: Nine (total). Frequency of response: Initially, occasionally, and semiannually. Total estimated burden: 2,440 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b). Total estimated cost: $368,000 (per year), which includes $75,400 in VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:41 Dec 19, 2022 Jkt 259001 annualized capital/startup and/or operation & maintenance costs. Changes in the Estimates: The increase in burden from the most recently approved ICR is due to several adjustments. There is an adjustment increase in labor burden due to a small increase in the number of respondents. Although the total labor cost decreased, this is due to a correction to attribute testing costs to O&M costs, resulting in a corresponding increase to the O&M costs. In addition to accounting for the testing costs as O&M costs, the increased O&M costs are also due to the increased number of respondents and adjusting the testing costs from 2011 to 2020 dollars and the baghouse leak detection costs from 2006 to 2020 dollars using the CEPCI Index. Because there are no new sources expected during the three-year period covered by this ICR, there is no change in the estimated capital cost. Courtney Kerwin, Director, Regulatory Support Division.

Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Off-Site Waste and Recovery Operations (40 CFR part 63, subpart DD) apply to existing facilities and new facilities with organic hazardous air pollutant (HAP) emissions that are involved in waste management and recovery operations, and that are not subject to Federal air standards under other subparts in Part 63.

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 the NESHAP. Form Numbers: None. Respondents/affected entities: Owners and operators of off-site waste and recovery operations. Respondent’s obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 63, subpart DD). Estimated number of respondents: 50 (total). Frequency of response: Semiannually. Total estimated burden: 47,800 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b). Total estimated cost: $6,650,000 (per year), which includes $908,000 in annualized capital/startup and/or operation & maintenance costs. 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 is due to two considerations: (1) the regulations have not changed over the past three years and are not anticipated to change over the next three years; and (2) the growth rate for this industry is very low or nonexistent, so there is no significant change in the overall burden. The burden for one-time activities found in the previous ICR renewal were removed; however the overall burden did not change. The capital vs. O&M costs have increased. Previous O&M costs were based on 2013 dollars and have been inflated to 2021 dollars (most-recent annual CEPCI value). The burden for photocopying and postage was removed, as these costs are already included in the ‘‘O&M’’ line item, thus this cost is duplicative.

ACTION: Notice of final Order on Petitions for objection to two Clean Air Act title V operating permits. AGENCY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator signed an Order dated November 16, 2022, granting in part and denying in part two Petitions dated June 15, 2022, and September 26, 2022, from WildEarth Guardians (collectively, the Petitions). The Petitions requested that the EPA object to two Clean Air Act (CAA) title V operating permits issued by the New Mexico Environmental Department’s Air Quality Bureau (AQB) to the Lucid Delaware Energy, LLC (Lucid) Frac Cat Compressor Station (Frac Cat) and the Lucid Big Lizard (Big Lizard) Compressor Station, both located in Lea County, New Mexico. EPA notes that the AQB approved an Administrative Amendment transferring ownership of both facilities from Lucid Delaware Energy, LLC to Targa Northern Delaware, LLC on November 10, 2022.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Elizabeth Layton, EPA Region 6 Office, Air Permits Section, (214) 665–2136, layton.elizabeth@epa.gov. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The CAA affords the EPA a 45-day period to review and object to, as appropriate, operating permits proposed by state permitting authorities under title V of the CAA. Section 505(b)(2) of the CAA authorizes any person to petition the EPA Administrator to object to a title V operating permit within 60 days after SUMMARY: PO 00000 Frm 00045 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 9990 77831 the expiration of the EPA’s 45-day review period if the EPA has not objected on its own initiative. Petitions must be based only on objections to the permit that were raised with reasonable specificity during the public comment period provided by the state, unless the petitioner demonstrates that it was impracticable to raise these issues during the comment period or unless the grounds for the issue arose after this period. The EPA received two petitions from WildEarth Guardians dated June 15, 2022, and September 26, 2022 (collectively, the Petitions), requesting that the EPA Administrator object to the issuance of final operating permit No. P288 issued by the AQB to the Lucid Energy Delaware, LLC Frac Cat Compressor Station as well as final operating permit No. P289, issued by AQB to the Lucid Energy Delaware, LLC Big Lizard Compressor Station (the Final Permits). Both facilities are located in Lea County, New Mexico. The Petitions claim that the Final Permits fail to assure compliance with applicable title V permitting regulations pertaining to the ‘‘timely and complete’’ requirements for title V renewal applications, the Final Permits fail to ensure the facilities operate in compliance with the New Mexico State Implementation Plan (SIP) by lacking a reasoned explanation, basis, or analysis demonstrating how the Final Permits will ensure the operation of the facilities will not cause or contribute to an exceedance in the National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) for ozone. The Petitions also claim the Final Permits fail to require sufficient periodic monitoring that is enforceable as a practical matter to ensure compliance with applicable emission limits. On November 16, 2022, the EPA Administrator issued an Order granting in part and denying in part the Petitions. The Order explains the basis for the EPA’s decision. Dated: December 14, 2022.
