1Western’s authority to issue a record of decision 

for integrating transmission facilities is pursuant to 

authority delegated on October 4, 1999, from the 

Assistant Secretary for Environment, Safety and 

Health to Western’s Administrator. 

Decision 

Western’s decision is to allow Basin 

Electric’s requests for interconnection at 

the Wessington Springs Substation in 

South Dakota and to complete 

modifications to the substation to 

support the interconnections.1

Western’s decision to grant these 

interconnection requests satisfies the 

agency’s statutory mission and Basin 

Electric’s objectives while minimizing 

harm to the environment. Two 

interconnection agreements will be 

executed in accordance with Western’s 

Tariff. 

Basin Electric has committed to 

minimize the Proposed Project and 

Wind Partners’ proposed development 

impact on the environment through 

design and incorporation of APMs, 

BMPS, OMP, and voluntary 

conservation measures for habitat offsets 

as described in Chapter 2 of the Final 

EIS and summarized above. The 

Proposed Project and Wind Partner’s 

proposed development employ all 

practicable means to avoid or minimize 

environmental harm. Furthermore, 

Basin Electric has committed to use the 

results of their 3-year Bird and Bat 

Fatality Monitoring from the OMP to 

identify and incorporate, to the extent 

practicable, measures to minimize bird 

and bat mortality. Western will adhere 

to its own standard mitigation measures 

for all modifications within Wessington 

Springs Substation. Western will ensure 

that the stipulations of the MOU are 

executed in support of section 106 of 

the NHPA in carrying out its decision. 

This decision is based on the 

information contained in the South 

Dakota PrairieWinds Project Final EIS 

(DOE/EIS–0418). The EIS and this ROD 

were prepared pursuant to the 

requirements of the Council on 

Environmental Quality Regulations for 

Implementing NEPA (40 CFR Parts 

1500–1508), DOE Procedures for 

Implementing NEPA (10 CFR Part 1021), 

and DOE’s Floodplain/Wetland Review 

Requirements (10 CFR Part 1022). Full 

implementation of this decision is 

contingent upon the Proposed Project 

and Wind Partners’ proposed 

development obtaining all applicable 

permits and approvals.

the contents of the docket, and to access 

those documents in the public docket 

that are available electronically. Once in 

the system, select ‘‘search,’’ then key in 

the docket ID number identified in this 

document. 

What information is EPA particularly 

interested in? 

Pursuant to Paperwork Reduction Act 

(PRA) section 3506(c)(2)(A), EPA 

specifically solicits comments and 

information to enable it to: 

(i) Evaluate whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of the Agency, including 

whether the information will have 

practical utility; 

(ii) Evaluate the 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). In 

particular, EPA is requesting comments 

from small entities (small businesses 

primarily engaged in refining crude 

petroleum into refined petroleum as 

defined by North American Industry 

Classification System (NAICS) code 

32411 whose parent company has no 

more than 1,500 employees) on 

examples of specific additional efforts 

that EPA could make to reduce the 

paperwork burden for small entities 

affected by this collection. 

What information collection activity or 

ICR does this apply to? 

Affected entities: Respondents 

affected by this action are owners/ 

operators of petroleum refineries, all of 

which are expected to be major sources 

of hazardous air pollutants (HAP).1

Petroleum refineries are facilities 

engaged in refining and producing 

products made from crude oil or 

unfinished petroleum derivatives. Based 

on the Energy Information 

Administration’s Refinery Capacity 

Report 2009, there are 152 operable 

petroleum refineries in the United 

States (U.S.) and the U.S. territories. We 

are aware that some refineries have 

integrated operations between two 

nearby, but non-contiguous, locations. 

Therefore, the questionnaire asks the 

refining companies to identify their 

refineries according to the definition of 

‘‘facility’’ in the Clean Air Act (CAA), 

which could result in more than 152 

responses. Petroleum refineries are 

located in 35 States, as well as Puerto 

Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Texas, 

Louisiana, and California are the States 

with the most petroleum refining 

capacity. The NAICS code for 

respondents affected by the information 

collection is 32411. 

Title: Information Collection Request 

for Petroleum Refinery Sector New 

Source Performance Standards (NSPS) 

and National Emission Standards for 

Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) 

Residual Risk and Technology Review. 

ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 2411.01, 

OMB Control No. 2060–NEW. 

ICR status: This ICR is for a new 

information collection activity. 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 Office of 

Management and Budget (OMB) control 

number. The OMB control numbers for 

EPA’s regulations in title 40 of the Code 

of Federal Regulations (CFR), after 

appearing in the Federal Register when 

approved, are listed in 40 CFR part 9, 

and are 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: On March 8, 1974, the EPA 

issued Standards of Performance for 

Petroleum Refineries (40 CFR part 60, 

subpart J) under section 111 of the CAA. 

On August 18, 1995, the EPA issued 

NESHAP for petroleum refineries (40 

CFR part 63, subpart CC) under section 

112 of the CAA. On April 11, 2002, the 

EPA issued NESHAP for catalytic 

cracking units, catalytic reforming units, 

and sulfur recovery units at petroleum 

refineries (40 CFR part 63, subpart 

UUU) under section 112 of the CAA. 

This ICR is being conducted by EPA’s 

Office of Air and Radiation to assist the 

EPA Administrator in determining the 

current affected population of 

petroleum refining processes and the 

emissions from those processes in order 

to evaluate whether to revise the 

existing emissions standards pursuant 

to sections 111(b), 112(d), and 112(f)(6) 

of the CAA. 

Section 111(b)(1)(B) of the CAA 

mandates that EPA review and, if 

appropriate, revise existing NSPS every 

8 years. The Standards of Performance 

for Petroleum Refineries were reviewed 

in 2008, and EPA promulgated 

amendments to the existing standards of 

performance and developed separate 

standards of performance for new 

process units (40 CFR part 60, subpart 

Ja). However, the Agency received and 

granted a number of petitions for 

reconsideration related to those 

standards. Similarly, section 112(f)(2) of 

the CAA directs EPA to conduct risk 

assessments on each source category 

subject to maximum achievable control 

technology (MACT) standards and 

determine if additional standards are 

needed to reduce residual risks. The 

CAA section 112(f)(2) residual risk 

review is to be done once, within 8 

years of promulgation of the MACT 

standard. Section 112(d)(6) of the CAA 

requires EPA to review and revise the 

MACT standards, as necessary, taking 

into account developments in practices, 

processes, and control technologies. The 

CAA section 112(d)(6) technology 

review is to be done every 8 years. 

The proposed ICR has two 

components: (1) A questionnaire to be 

completed by all 152 petroleum 

refineries, and (2) emissions testing to 

be performed for 92 selected emissions 

sources. To obtain the information 

necessary to identify and categorize all 

units potentially affected by any future 

revision to a standard, the first 

component of this ICR will solicit 

information from all potentially affected 

units in the format of an electronic 

survey under authority of section 114 of 

the CAA. This survey will include 

questions about the facility and 

individual emissions sources, and will 

ask the owners/operators to develop and 

provide an emissions inventory, submit 

cost data, provide copies of recent 

emissions test reports and continuous 

emission monitoring system (CEMS)/ 

continuous monitoring system (CMS) 

data, and conduct crude oil sampling 

and analysis. As previously noted, all 

refineries are major sources of HAP, so 

the survey will be submitted to all 

facilities listed in the Energy 

Information Administration’s Refinery 


erowe on DSK5CLS3C1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 188 / Wednesday, September 29, 2010 / Notices 60109 

Capacity Report 2009. The second 

component will consist of requiring 

emissions testing, again pursuant to the 

authority of section 114 of the CAA. A 

total of 92 individual emission sources 

will be selected for testing, and the 

owners and operators of each emission 

source will be notified of the 

requirement to test that source in 

accordance with an EPA-approved 

testing protocol. 

By conducting the CAA-required 

reviews of both 40 CFR part 63, subparts 

CC and UUU, and addressing a number 

of the issues on reconsideration of 40 

CFR part 60, subpart J/Ja all at the same 

time, EPA can make use of a single 

collection of information to consider 

control strategies that are the most 

effective for HAP, which are regulated 

under CAA section 112, and criteria air 

pollutants (such as particulate matter, 

sulfur dioxide, and nitrogen oxide), 

which are regulated under CAA section 

111, and consider if additional 

amendments are appropriate to the CAA 

section 111 standards in light of this 

information and interaction with the 

CAA section 112 standards. The data 

would also allow EPA to evaluate 

compliance options for startup and 

shutdown periods, and consider ways to 

consolidate monitoring, reporting and 

recordkeeping requirements among the 

different rules under review. The data 

may also help EPA conduct reviews of 

other rules specific to petroleum 

refineries, including Standards of 

Performance for Equipment Leaks of 

VOC in Petroleum Refineries (40 CFR 

part 60, subpart GGG), Standards of 

Performance for VOC Emissions from 

Petroleum Refinery Wastewater Systems 

(40 CFR part 60, subpart QQQ), and 

National Emission Standard for Benzene 

Waste Operations (40 CFR part 61, 

subpart FF). 

This one-time collection will solicit 

information under authority of CAA 

section 114. The EPA intends to provide 

the survey in electronic format. The 

survey will be sent to all facilities 

identified as petroleum refineries 

through information available to the 

Agency. EPA envisions allowing 

recipients 90 days to respond to the 

survey and 6 months to complete 

emissions testing, if required. Nonconfidential information from this ICR 

will be made available to the public. 

EPA estimates the total cost of the 

information collection (for 152 

respondents) will be 47,000 hours and 

$23 million, which includes $912 in 

operation and maintenance (O&M) costs 

for postage for mailing hard copy test 

reports and confidential survey 

responses to EPA. 

The data collected will be used to 

update facility and emissions source 

information, develop new estimates of 

the population of affected units, and 

identify the control measures and 

alternative emission limits being used 

for compliance with the existing rules 

that are under review. This information, 

along with existing emission limits, will 

be used to establish a baseline for 

purposes of the regulatory reviews. The 

emissions test data (test reports, CEMS 

data, and CMS data) collected will be 

used to verify the performance of 

existing control measures, examine 

variability in emissions, evaluate 

emission limits, determine the 

performance of the most effective 

control measures considered for 

purposes of reducing residual risk, and 

provide a basis for estimating 

nationwide emissions from emissions 

sources for which EPA has little 

information. Emissions data will also be 

used, along with process and emission 

unit details, to consider options for best 

demonstrated technology under the 

NSPS review, consider subcategories for 

further regulation, and estimate the 

environmental and cost impacts 

associated with any regulatory options 

considered. 

The CAA requires sources subject to 

this collection of information to submit 

the information requested. All 

information submitted to EPA pursuant 

to this ICR for which a claim of 

confidentiality is made, is safeguarded 

according to Agency policies in 40 CFR 

part 2, subpart B. 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. 

OMB control numbers for EPA’s 

regulations are listed in 40 CFR part 9. 

The EPA would like to solicit 

comments to: 

(i) Evaluate whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of the Agency, including 

whether the information will have 

practical utility; 

(ii) Evaluate the accuracy of the 

Agency’s estimate of the burden of the 

proposed collection of information, 

including 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). 

Burden Statement: The projected cost 

and hour burden for industry for this 

one-time collection of information is 

$23 million and 47,000 hours. This 

burden is based on an estimated 152 

respondents to the survey. This ICR 

does not include any requirements that 

would cause the respondents to incur 

either capital or start-up costs. The O&M 

costs of $912 are estimated for postage 

to mail hard copy test reports and 

confidential survey responses to EPA. 

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 use 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. 

The ICR provides a detailed 

explanation of the Agency’s estimate, 

which is only briefly summarized here. 

Estimated total number of potential 

respondents: 152 facilities. 

Frequency of response: One time. 

Estimated total average number of 

responses for each respondent: 1. 

Estimated total annual burden hours: 

47,000. 

Estimated total annual burden costs: 

$23 million. This includes an estimated 

burden cost of $7.8 million for the 

electronic survey component and an 

estimated cost of $15 million for the 

stack testing component. 

What is the next step in the process for 

this ICR? 

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 pursuant to 5 CFR 

1320.12. At that time, EPA will issue 

another Federal Register notice 

pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.5(a)(1)(iv) to 

announce the submission of the ICR to 

OMB and the opportunity to submit 

additional comments to OMB. If you 

have any questions about this ICR or the 

approval process, please contact the 

technical person listed under FOR
