[FR Doc. 2024–11802 Filed 5–29–24; 8:45 am] FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: under the applicable sections of TSCA. For additional information about export requirements under TSCA, visit our website at https://www.epa.gov/tscaimport-export-requirements. Form Numbers: 9600–031. Respondents/affected entities: Entities potentially affected by this ICR include exporters of chemical substances regulated under TSCA which are mostly chemical companies classified under the North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) codes 325 and 324. Respondent’s obligation to respond: Mandatory under TSCA section 12(b), as implemented by 40 CFR part 707, subpart D. Estimated number of respondents: 226 (total). Frequency of response: On occasion. Total estimated burden: 2,694 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b). Total estimated cost: $184,690 (per year), which includes $0 annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs. Changes in the Estimates: There is a decrease of 238 hours in the total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently approved by OMB. This decrease reflects the net result from a decrease in burden caused by assuming 100 percent electronic submissions despite a small increase in burden due to a larger number of respondents compared to the previous ICR. This change is an adjustment to the estimates.

Abstract: Section 328 of the Clean Air Act (CAA) gives the EPA responsibility for regulating air pollution from OCS sources located offshore of the States along the Atlantic and Pacific Coasts (except the North Slope Borough of Alaska), and along the Gulf Coast off the State of Florida eastward of longitude 87 degrees and 30 minutes (i.e., off the coast of Florida). In general, these OCS sources must obtain OCS permits that comply with the New Source Review preconstruction permit program and title V operating permit program among other requirements, and then maintain ongoing compliance with their permit conditions. Industry respondents must prepare permit applications and, after receiving their permits, conduct testing, monitoring, recordkeeping and reporting as required by their permits. The EPA has delegated the authority to implement and enforce the OCS regulations to four local air pollution control agencies in California and three State air pollutions control agencies (Delaware Maryland, and Virginia). These agency respondents must review sources’ permit applications and reports, issue permits, observe performance tests and conduct inspections to ensure that the sources off their coasts are meeting all the requirements that apply to them. The type and quantity of information required will depend on the circumstances surrounding the action but may include that required in applicability determinations, Notices of Intent (NOI), New Source Review (NSR) preconstruction permitting requirements, Part 70 Title V (Title V) operating permit requirements, New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) and some National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) promulgated under section 112 of the CAA. In addition, inner OCS sources could be subject to other requirements as those that would be applicable if the source were located in the corresponding onshore area (COA). Sources locating beyond 25 nautical miles from the State seaward boundary (outer OCS) are subject to Federal air quality requirements which could E:\FR\FM\30MYN1.SGM 30MYN1 46886 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 105 / Thursday, May 30, 2024 / Notices include the EPA’s PSD preconstruction permit program, Part 71 Title V operating permit program, NSPS and NESHAP promulgated under section 112 of the CAA. State and local air pollution control agencies are usually requested to provide information concerning regulation of offshore sources and are provided opportunities to comment on the proposed determinations. The public is also provided an opportunity to comment on the proposed determinations. Form numbers: None. Respondents/affected entities: Entities potentially affected by this action are those that must apply for and obtain an OCS permit pursuant the OCS permit program. In addition, State and local agencies that have been delegated authority to implement and enforce the OCS permit program, which must review permit applications and issue permits, are affected entities. Respondent’s obligation to respond: Mandatory (CFR part 55). Estimated number of respondents: 74 industrial facilities and 7 State and local permitting agencies. Frequency of response: On occasion, as necessary. Total estimated burden: 36,001 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.03(b). Total estimated cost: $3,755,783.00 (per year), includes $380,372 annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs. Changes in estimates: There is a projected increase of 15,778 hours in the total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently approved by OMB. This increase is primarily due to the projected number of OCS sources subject to the program mainly related to alternative energy sources including new wind power farms along the eastern seaboard of the United States.

Abstract: The information collection activity provides EPA with an opportunity to efficiently engage its customers and stakeholders by gathering qualitative information about their current or potential future interaction with Agency. Getting such feedback in a timely manner is critical if the Agency is to know how and where it should focus while seeking to improve, or expand upon, its products and services. Following the pathway established by OMB for fast-track generic ICRs, the Agency will submit individual requests for specific information collections on an as-needed basis. Those requests will describe the collection and the public burden created. The Agency will submit a collection request for approval under this generic clearance only if the collections are: voluntary; low burden and low-cost for both the respondents and the federal government; noncontroversial; targeted to respondents who have experience with the program or may have experience with the program in the near future; and abstain from collecting personally identifiable information (PII) to the greatest extent possible. Information gathered will be used internally for general service improvement and program management purposes and released publicly only in an anonymized or aggregated fashion. Information gathered will not be used in E:\FR\FM\30MYN1.SGM 30MYN1
