Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 62 / Thursday, April 1, 2010 / Notices 16457 

ACTION: Notice of adequacy 

determination. 

SUMMARY: EPA is notifying the public 

that it has found that the motor vehicle 

emissions budgets (MVEB) in the 

Beaumont-Port Arthur, Texas (BPA) 

Redesignation Request/Maintenance 

Plan State Implementation Plan (SIP) 

revision, submitted on December 16, 

2008, by the Texas Commission on 

Environmental Quality (TCEQ) are 

adequate for transportation conformity 

purposes. As a result of EPA’s finding, 

the BPA area must use these budgets for 

future conformity determinations for the 

1997 8-hour ozone standard. 

DATES: These budgets are effective April 

16, 2010. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

The essential information in this 

notice will be available at EPA’s 

conformity Web site: http:// 

www.epa.gov/otaq/stateresources/ 

transconf/adequacy.htm. You may also 

contact Mr. Jeffrey Riley, Air Planning 

Section (6PD–L), U.S. Environmental 

Protection Agency, Region 6, 1445 Ross 

Avenue, Dallas, Texas 75202–2733, 

telephone (214) 665–8542, E-mail 

address: Riley.Jeffrey@epa.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Throughout this document ‘‘we,’’ ‘‘us,’’ 

and ‘‘our’’ refers to EPA. The word 

‘‘budget(s)’’ refers to the mobile source 

emissions budget for volatile organic 

compounds (VOCs) and the mobile 

source emissions budget for nitrogen 

oxides (NOX). 

On December 16, 2008, we received a 

State Implementation Plan (SIP) 

revision from the Texas Commission on 

Environmental Quality (TCEQ). This 

revision consisted of a Redesignation 

Request/Maintenance Plan SIP for the 

Beaumont-Port Arthur (BPA) ozone 

nonattainment area. This submission 

established the motor vehicle emissions 

budgets (MVEB) for the BPA area for the 

year 2021. The MVEB is the amount of 

emissions allowed in the state 

implementation plan for on-road motor 

vehicles; it establishes an emissions 

ceiling for the regional transportation 

network. The MVEB is provided in 

Table 1: 

TABLE 1—BEAUMONT/PORT ARTHUR

NOX AND VOC MVEB 

[Summer season tons per day] 

2021 

NOX .............................................. * 7.24 

VOC .............................................. 4.77 

** Includes an allocation of 1 tpd from the 

available NOX safety margin. 

On April 15, 2009, EPA posted the 

availability of the BPA area budget on 

EPA’s Web site, as part of the adequacy 

process, for the purpose of soliciting 

public comments. The comment period 

closed on May 15, 2009, and we 

received no comments. 

Today’s notice is simply an 

announcement of a finding that EPA has 

already made. EPA Region 6 sent a letter 

to TCEQ on March 4, 2010, finding that 

the MVEB in the BPA Redesignation 

Request/Maintenance Plan SIP, 

submitted on December 16, 2008, is 

adequate and must be used for 

transportation conformity 

determinations in the BPA area. This 

finding has also been announced on 

EPA’s conformity Web site: http:// 

www.epa.gov/otaq/stateresources/ 

transconf/adequacy.htm. 

Transportation conformity is required 

by section 176(c) of the Clean Air Act. 

EPA’s conformity rule, 40 Code of 

Federal Regulations (CFR) part 93, 

requires that transportation plans, 

programs and projects conform to state 

air quality implementation plans and 

establishes the criteria and procedures 

for determining whether or not they do 

so. Conformity to a SIP means that 

transportation activities will not 

produce new air quality violations, 

worsen existing violations, or delay 

timely attainment of the national 

ambient air quality standards. 

The criteria by which EPA determines 

whether a SIP’s MVEB is adequate for 

transportation conformity purposes are 

outlined in 40 CFR 93.118(e)(4). We 

have also described the process for 

determining the adequacy of submitted 

SIP budgets in our July 1, 2004, final 

rulemaking entitled, ‘‘Transportation 

Conformity Rule Amendments for the 

New 8-hour Ozone and PM2.5 National 

Ambient Air Quality Standards and 

Miscellaneous Revisions for Existing 

Areas; Transportation Conformity Rule 

Amendments: Response to Court 

Decision and Additional Rule Changes’’ 

(69 FR 40004). Please note that an 

adequacy review is separate from EPA’s 

completeness review, and it should not 

be used to prejudge EPA’s ultimate 

approval of the BPA Redesignation 

Request/Maintenance Plan SIP revision 

submittal. Even if EPA finds a budget 

adequate, the Redesignation Request/ 

Maintenance Plan SIP revision 

submittal could later be disapproved. 

Within 24 months from the effective 

date of this notice, the transportation 

partners will need to demonstrate 

conformity to the new MVEB if the 

demonstration has not already been 

made, pursuant to 40 CFR 93.104(e).

Title: NSPS for Wool Fiberglass 

Insulation Manufacturing Plants and 

NESHAP for Wool Fiberglass 

Manufacturing (Renewal). 

ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 

1160.09, OMB Control Number 2060– 

0114. 

ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to 

expire on May 31, 2010. Under OMB 

regulations, the Agency may continue to 

conduct or sponsor the collection of 

information while this submission is 

pending at OMB. 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. 

The OMB control numbers for the EPA 

regulations in title 40 of the CFR, after 

appearing in the Federal Register when 

approved, are listed in 40 CFR part 9, 

and displayed either by publication in 

the Federal Register or by other 

appropriate means, such as on the 

related collection instrument or form, if 

applicable. The display of OMB control 

numbers in certain EPA regulations is 

consolidated in 40 CFR part 9. 

Abstract: The NSPS for Wool 

Fiberglass Insulation Manufacturing 

Plants, published at 40 CFR part 60, 

subpart PPP, were proposed on 

February 7, 1984 and promulgated on 

February 25, 1985, and the NESHAP for 

Wool Fiberglass Manufacturing, 

published at 40 CFR part 63, subpart 

NNN, were proposed on March 31, 1997 

and promulgated on June 14, 1999. 

Owners or operators of the affected 

facilities must make an initial 

notification, performance tests, periodic 

reports, and 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. Reports, at a 

minimum, are required semiannually. 

Burden Statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average 103 hours per 

response. Burden means the total time, 

effort, or financial resources expended 

by persons to generate, maintain, retain, 

or disclose or provide information to or 

for a Federal agency. This includes the 

time needed to review instructions; 

develop, acquire, install, and utilize 

technology and systems for the purposes 

of collecting, validating, and verifying 

information, processing and 

maintaining information, and disclosing 

and providing information; adjust the 

existing ways to comply with any 

previously applicable instructions and 

requirements which have subsequently 

changed; train personnel to be able to 

respond to a collection of information; 

search data sources; complete and 

review the collection of information; 

and transmit or otherwise disclose the 

information. 

Respondents/Affected Entities: Wool 

fiberglass insulation manufacturing 

plants. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

61. 

Frequency of Response: Initially, 

occasionally, and semiannually. 

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 

18,599. 

Estimated Total Annual Cost: 

$2,233,940, which includes $1,745,440 

in labor costs, no capital/startup costs, 

and $488,500 in operation and 

maintenance (O&M) costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is a 

small increase in the total labor hours 

for this ICR, due to an adjustment. The 

previous ICR did not include managerial 

and clerical hours for 40 CFR part 60, 

subpart PPP. This adjustment also 

results in a slight increase in the per 

respondent labor hours, from 101 to 103 

hours per response. 

Although these adjustments resulted 

in an increase in calculated burden 

hours, the regulations have not changed 

over the past three years and are not 

anticipated to change over the next 

three years. Additionally, the growth 

rate for the respondents is very low, 

negative or non-existent. 

There is an increase in both 

respondent and Agency costs resulting 

from labor rate increases. This ICR has 

been updated to present the most recent 

available labor rates.
