Abstract: Respondents are owners or 

operators of friction materials 

manufacturing facilities. The NESHAP 

contains an emission limitation for 

solvent mixers at friction materials 

manufacturing facilities. Solvent mixers 

are the affected source. Friction 

materials manufacturing facilities 

manufacture friction material using a 

solvent-based process. Friction material 

is subsequently used to manufacture 

friction products that include, but are 

not limited to, disc brake pucks, disc 

brake pads, brake linings, brake shoes, 

brake segments, brake blocks, brake 

discs, clutch facings, and clutches. 

Form Numbers: None. 

Respondents/affected entities: 

Owners or operators of friction materials 

manufacturing facilities. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Mandatory (40 CFR part 63, subpart 

QQQQQ). 

Estimated number of respondents: 4 

(total). 

Frequency of response: Initially, 

occasionally, semiannually, and 

annually. 

Total estimated burden: 1,291 hours 

(per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 

1320.3(b). 

Total estimated cost: $127,502 (per 

year), includes $1,088 in annualized 

capital and/or operation & maintenance 

costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is a 

decrease of five hours in the total 

estimated respondent burden compared 

with the ICR currently approved by the 

OMB. This decrease is due to a 

discrepancy identified in the previous 

ICR. The previous ICR assumed all 

existing plants transmit one-time 

notifications, a burden item that only 

applies to new sources. Since no new 

sources are expected over the next 

three-year period of the ICR, the ICR 

was revised to remove this burden, 

which resulted in a decrease in burden 

hours. 

There is also an increase in the 

estimated burden cost due to the use of 

updated labor rates. This ICR references 

the most recent labor rates available 

from the Bureau of Labor Statistics and 

the OPM to calculate burden costs.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On 

October 13, 2005, the final Cross-Media 

Electronic Reporting Rule (CROMERR) 

was published in the Federal Register 

(70 FR 59848) and codified as part 3 of 

title 40 of the CFR. CROMERR 

establishes electronic reporting as an 

acceptable regulatory alternative to 

paper reporting and establishes 

requirements to assure that electronic 

documents are as legally dependable as 

their paper counterparts. Subpart D of 

CROMERR requires that state, tribal or 

local government agencies that receive, 

or wish to begin receiving, electronic 

reports under their EPA-authorized 

programs must apply to EPA for a 

revision or modification of those 

programs and obtain EPA approval. 

Subpart D provides standards for such 

approvals based on consideration of the 

electronic document receiving systems 

that the state, tribe, or local government 

will use to implement the electronic 

reporting. Additionally, 3.1000(b) 

through (e) of 40 CFR part 3, subpart D 

provides special procedures for program 

revisions and modifications to allow 

electronic reporting, to be used at the 

option of the state, tribe or local 

government in place of procedures 

available under existing programspecific authorization regulations. An 

application submitted under the subpart 

D procedures must show that the state, 

tribe or local government has sufficient 

legal authority to implement the 

electronic reporting components of the 

programs covered by the application 

and will use electronic document 

receiving systems that meet the 

applicable subpart D requirements. 

Once an authorized program has EPA’s 

approval to accept electronic documents 

under certain programs, CROMERR 

3.1000(a)(4) requires that the program 

keep EPA apprised of any changes to 

laws, policies, or the electronic 

document receiving systems that have 

the potential to affect the program’s 

compliance with CROMERR 3.2000. 

On June 24, 2014, the Minnesota 

Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) 

submitted an amended application 

titled ‘‘Minnesota Pollution Control 

Agency Regulatory Services Portal’’ for 

revisions/modifications of its EPAapproved electronic reporting program 

under its EPA-authorized programs 

under title 40 CFR to allow new 

electronic reporting. EPA reviewed 

MPCA’s request to revise/modify its 

EPA-authorized programs and, based on 

this review, EPA determined that the 

application met the standards for 

approval of authorized program 

revisions/modifications set out in 40 

CFR part 3, subpart D. In accordance 

with 40 CFR 3.1000(d), this notice of 

EPA’s decision to approve Minnesota’s 

request to revise/modify its following 

EPA-authorized programs to allow 

electronic reporting under 40 CFR parts
