Download as PDF lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1 17842 Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 57 / Friday, March 24, 2023 / Notices latter regulations apply to electric arc furnaces, argon-oxygen decarburization vessels, and dust-handling systems that commenced construction, modification, or reconstruction after August 17, 1983 at steel plants that produce carbon, alloy, or specialty steels. New facilities include those that commenced construction, modification or reconstruction after the date of proposal. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 60, subparts AA and AAa. EPA proposed revisions to Subparts AA and AAa and proposed a new Subpart AAb on May 16, 2022 (87 FR 29710). The burden for these requirements is not included in this renewal and will be accounted for once the rule is finalized. In general, all NSPS 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 NSPS. Form numbers: None. Respondents/affected entities: Steel plants that produce carbon, alloy, or specialty steels. Respondent’s obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 60, subparts AA and AAa). Estimated number of respondents: 90 (total). Frequency of response: Initially, semiannually. Total estimated burden: 56,700 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b). Total estimated cost: $7,000,000 (per year), which includes $198,000 in annualized capital/startup and/or operation & maintenance costs. Changes in the estimates: There is an adjustment decrease in the total estimated burden as currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved Burdens. This decrease is not due to any program changes. The change in the burden and cost estimates is due to a decrease in the average number of respondents per year subject to subparts AA and AAa based on information gathered by EPA for a proposed rulemaking. Although there was a decrease in the average number of respondents per year, there was an increase in the number of new sources each year. This resulted in an adjustment increase to the total capital/ startup cost. There is an adjustment VerDate Sep<11>2014 19:18 Mar 23, 2023 Jkt 259001 decrease in the operation and maintenance (O&M) costs as calculated in section 6(b)(iii) compared with the costs in the previous ICR due to the decreased number of respondents based on more recent information provided by EPA.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This is a proposed extension of the ICR, which is currently approved through March 31, 2023. An agency may not conduct or sponsor and a person is not required to respond to a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. Public comments were previously requested via the Federal Register (87 FR 42460) on July 15, 2022 during a 60day comment period. This notice allows for an additional 30 days for public comments. 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.

Abstract: Under the authority of sections 3004, 3005, 3008 and 3010 of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), as amended, EPA revised the RCRA hazardous waste permitting program to allow a ‘‘standardized permit.’’ The standardized permit is available to facilities that generate hazardous waste and routinely manage the waste on-site in non-thermal units such as tanks, containers, and containment buildings. In addition, the standardized permit is available to facilities that receive hazardous waste generated off-site by a generator under the same ownership as the receiving facility, and then store or non-thermally treat the hazardous waste in containers, tanks, or containment buildings. The RCRA standardized permit consists of two components: a uniform portion that is included in all cases, and a supplemental portion that the Director of a regulatory agency E:\FR\FM\24MRN1.SGM 24MRN1 Federal Register / Vol. 88, No. 57 / Friday, March 24, 2023 / Notices includes at his or her discretion. The uniform portion consists of terms and conditions, relevant to the unit(s) at the permitted facility, and is established on a national basis. The Director, at his or her discretion, may also issue a supplemental portion on a case-by-case basis. The supplemental portion imposes site-specific permit terms and conditions that the Director determines necessary to institute corrective action under section 264.101 (or state equivalent), or otherwise necessary to protect human health and the environment. Owners and operators have to comply with the terms and conditions in the supplemental portion, in addition to those in the uniform portion. Form Numbers: None. Respondents/affected entities: Entities potentially affected by this action are business or other for-profit. Respondent’s obligation to respond: Voluntary (40 CFR 270.275). Estimated number of respondents: 1. Frequency of response: One time. Total estimated burden: 218 hours per year. Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.03(b). Total estimated cost: $19,873 (per year), includes $693 annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs. Changes in the Estimates: There is no change in hour burden included in this ICR. There is a slight increase in capital/ O&M costs due to updated estimates. Courtney Kerwin, Director, Regulatory Support Division.
