Abstract: The National Emission 

Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants 

(NESHAP) for Coal- and Oil-Fired 

Electric Utility Steam Generating Units 

(40 CFR part 63, subpart UUUUU) apply 

to each individual or group of two or 

more new, reconstructed, or existing 

electric utility steam generating units 

(EGUs) within a contiguous area and 

under common control. An EGU is 

defined as a fossil fuel-fired combustion 

unit of more than 25 megawatts electric 

(MWe) that serves a generator that 

produces electricity for sale, or a fossil 

fuel-fired unit that cogenerates steam 

and electricity and supplies more than 

one-third of its potential electric output 

capacity and more than 25 MWe output 

to any utility power distribution system 

for sale. New facilities include those 

that commenced construction or 

reconstruction after the date of proposal. 

In general, all NESHAP standards 

require initial notifications, 

performance tests, and periodic reports 

by the owners/operators of the affected 

facilities. They are also required to 

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. These notifications, reports, 

and records are essential in determining 

compliance with 40 CFR part 63, 

subpart UUUUU. 

Form numbers: None. 

Respondents/affected entities: 

Owners and operators of coal- and oilfired EGUs. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Mandatory (40 CFR 63, Subpart 

UUUUU). 

Estimated number of respondents: 

322 (total). 

Frequency of response: Initially, 

occasionally, and semiannually. 

Total estimated burden: 284,000 

hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 

CFR 1320.3(b). 

Total estimated cost: $132,000,000 

(per year), which includes $104,000,000 

in annualized capital/startup and/or 

operation & maintenance costs. 

Changes in the estimates: There is an 

adjustment decrease in the total 

estimated burden as currently identified 

in the OMB Inventory of Approved 

Burdens. This change is not due to any 

program changes. The overall decrease 

in the burden and cost estimates 

occurred due to more accurate estimates 

of existing and anticipated new sources. 

Additionally, there is an adjustment 

increase in the capital/start-up and 

O&M costs from the previous ICR. The 

prior ICR inadvertently removed O&M 

costs for existing sources, while this ICR 

reincorporates O&M costs for existing 

respondents.

Abstract: The New Source 

Performance Standards (NSPS) for 

Municipal Waste Combustors apply to 

existing and new facilities with a 


amozie on DSK3GDR082PROD with NOTICES1
65672 Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 245 / Friday, December 21, 2018 / Notices 

municipal waste combustor unit 

capacity greater than 225 megagrams per 

day of municipal solid waste. In general, 

all NSPS standards require initial 

notifications, performance tests, and 

periodic reports by the owners/ 

operators of the affected facilities. They 

are also required to 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. These 

notifications, reports, and records are 

essential in determining compliance 

with 40 CFR part 60, subparts Ea and 

Eb. 

Form numbers: None. 

Respondents/affected entities: 

Owners and operators of municipal 

waste combustor (MWC) facilities. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Mandatory (40 CFR part 60, subparts Ea 

and Eb). 

Estimated number of respondents: 23. 

Frequency of response: Initially, 

quarterly and semiannually. 

Total estimated burden: 34,900 hours 

(per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 

1320.3(b). 

Total estimated cost: $3,440,000 (per 

year), which includes $226,000 in 

annualized capital/startup and/or 

operation & maintenance costs. 

Changes in the estimates: There is an 

increase in the respondent burdens from 

the most recent ICR. The adjustments 

are due to a change in the number of 

sources subject to each Subpart, which 

was revised to reflect more recent 

information obtained through the 

Agency’s research within the MWC 

sector.

Pesticides; Petition Seeking Revised 

Testing Requirements of Pesticides 

Prior to Registration; Request for 

Comment 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: EPA is seeking public 

comment on a petition from the Center 

for Food Safety (CFS) requesting that the 

Agency revise testing requirements for 

pesticides prior to registration. The 

petitioner, CFS, requests that the 

Agency require testing for whole 

pesticide formulations to account for the 

toxicological effects of inert and 

adjuvant ingredients and the testing of 

tank mixes to assess the interaction 

between pesticide ingredients. CSF 

believes this change is needed to meet 

the applicable safety standards of the 

Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and 

Rodenticide Act (FIFRA). 

DATES: Comments must be received on 

or before March 21, 2019.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Does this action apply to Me? 

This action is directed to the public 

in general and may be of interest to a 

wide range of stakeholders including 

pesticide registrants, environmental, 

human health, and agricultural 

advocates, pesticide users, and members 

of the public interested in the use of 

pesticides. This listing is not intended 

to be exhaustive but rather provides a 

guide for readers regarding entities 

likely to be affected by his action. 

Because others may also be interested, 

the Agency has not attempted to 

describe all the specific entities that 

may be affected by this action. If you 

have any questions regarding the 

applicability of this action to a 

particular entity, consult the person 

listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION

CONTACT. 

II. What action is the agency taking? 

EPA requests public comment on a 

petition received from CFS requesting 

EPA take the following actions: 

1. Revise pesticide registration 

regulations to take into account all 

pesticide ingredients (active, inert and 

adjuvant) and their effects on the 

environment. 

2. Revise pesticide registration 

regulations to require whole pesticide 

formulation and tank mixture testing to 

take into account synergistic effects. 

3. Revise pesticide registration 

regulations to require inert ingredients 

and whole pesticide formulations 

testing for chronic toxicological effects 

and degradation. 

4. Revise pesticide registration 

regulations to require Endangered 

Species Act (ESA) consultation on the 

effects of whole pesticide formulations 

and tank mixtures on threatened and 

endangered species. 

5. Comply with the above 

requirements in conducting statutorily 

mandated registration reviews of 

pesticides. 

III. What should I consider as I prepare 

my comments for EPA?
