Information Collection Being Reviewed by the Federal Communications Commission Under Delegated Authority, 72396-72397 [2024-19912]

Download as PDF khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES 72396 Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 172 / Thursday, September 5, 2024 / Notices accuracy of the Agency’s estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used; (iii) enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (iv) minimize the burden of the collection of information on those who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or other forms of information technology, e.g., permitting electronic submission of responses. EPA will consider the comments received and amend the ICR as appropriate. The final ICR package will then be submitted to OMB for review and approval. At that time, EPA will issue another Federal Register notice to announce the submission of the ICR to OMB and the opportunity to submit additional comments to OMB. Abstract: The NOX SIP Call was created to reduce emissions of nitrogen oxides (NOX) from power plants and other large combustion sources. NOX is a prime ingredient in the formation of ground-level ozone (smog), a pervasive air pollution problem in many areas of the eastern United States. The NOX SIP Call requires affected states to include certain provisions in their state implementation plans (SIPs) addressing emissions of NOX that adversely affect air quality in other states. Although most large combustion sources affected under the NOX SIP Call are also subject to monitoring requirements under the Acid Rain Program or the Cross-State Air Pollution Rule, this information collection is being renewed because some industrial sources in certain States are still required to monitor and report emissions data to EPA under these rules, so we will account for their burden. All data received by EPA will be treated as public information. The OMB control numbers for EPA’s regulations in 40 CFR are listed in 40 CFR part 9. Form numbers: None. Respondents/affected entities: Entities potentially affected by this action are those which participate in the NOX SIP Call. Respondent’s obligation to respond: mandatory (Sections 110(a) and 301(a) of the Clean Air Act). Estimated number of respondents: EPA estimates that there are 381 units that will continue to conduct monitoring solely under the NOX SIP call. Frequency of response: yearly, quarterly, occasionally. Total estimated burden: 156,640 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.03(b). VerDate Sep<11>2014 22:19 Sep 04, 2024 Jkt 262001 Total estimated cost: $25,058,685 (per year), includes $10,398,033 annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs. Changes in estimates: There is an increase of 16,414 hours in the total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently approved by OMB. This increase is due to assumptions made in the previous ICR regarding the number of respondents. In the previous ICR, EPA estimated fewer sources would continue to follow the Part 75 monitoring requirements due to amendments to the NOX SIP Call. The ICR is based on updated information regarding the actual numbers of sources. Rona Birnbaum, Director, Clean Air and Power Division, Office of Atmospheric Protection, Office of Air and Radiation.

ACTION: Final policy; notice of availability. AGENCY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is issuing the final ‘‘Achieving Health and environmental Protection Through EPA’s Meaningful Engagement Policy.’’ The final Policy supersedes the EPA’s 2003 Public Involvement Policy and highlights three steps for planning and providing opportunities for meaningful engagement and public participation that will enhance decision-making, while recognizing that meaningful engagement processes will need to be tailored to meet different program or decision contexts. The accompanying ‘‘Resources and Best Practices’’ reflect experience gained since the 2003 Public Involvement Policy. The Policy will help EPA staff build and strengthen capabilities necessary to reach and hear from members of the public on actions they are interested in or affected by, while accounting for Agency time and resource constraints. This policy does not have the force and effect of law and it does not bind the agency or the public in any way. The EPA solicited public comments on the draft policy for sixty days beginning on November 16, 2023.
