Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 82 / Thursday, April 28, 2016 / Notices 25395 

ACTION: Notice of adequacy 

determination. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) is notifying the public of 

its finding that the Medford, Oregon 

second 10-year limited maintenance 

plan (LMP) for carbon monoxide (CO) is 

adequate for transportation conformity 

purposes. The LMP was submitted to 

the EPA by the State of Oregon 

Department of Environmental Quality 

(ODEQ or the State) on December 11, 

2015, and a supplement was submitted 

on December 30, 2015. As a result of our 

adequacy finding, regional emissions 

analyses will no longer be required as 

part of the transportation conformity 

determinations for CO for the Medford 

area. 

DATES: This finding is effective May 13, 

2016. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: The 

finding will be available at the EPA’s 

conformity Web site: http://

www.epa.gov/otaq/stateresources/

transconf/adequacy.htm. You may also 

contact Dr. Karl Pepple, U.S. EPA, 

Region 10 (OAWT–107), 1200 Sixth 

Ave., Suite 900, Seattle WA 98101; (206) 

553–1778; or by email at pepple.karl@

epa.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

action provides notice of the EPA’s 

adequacy finding regarding the second 

10-year CO limited maintenance plan 

(LMP) for the Medford area for purposes 

of transportation conformity. The EPA’s 

finding was made pursuant to the 

adequacy review process for 

implementation plan submissions 

delineated at 40 CFR 93.118(f)(1) under 

which the EPA reviews the adequacy of 

a state implementation plan (SIP) 

submission prior to the EPA’s final 

action on the implementation plan. 

The State submitted the LMP to the 

EPA on December 11, 2015, and 

submitted a supplement to EPA on 

December 30, 2015. Pursuant to 40 CFR 

93.118(f)(1), the EPA notified the public 

of its receipt of this plan and its review 

for an adequacy determination on the 

EPA’s Web site and requested public 

comment by no later than February 22, 

2016. The EPA received no comments 

on the plan during the comment period. 

As part of our analysis, we also 

reviewed the State’s compilation of 

public comments and response to 

comments that were submitted during 

the State’s public process for the LMP. 

There were no applicable adverse 

comments directed at the on-road 

portion of the LMP. 

Based on our review, the EPA believes 

it is appropriate to find this LMP 

adequate for use in transportation 

conformity determinations prior to final 

action on the LMP. The EPA notified 

ODEQ in a letter dated March 1, 2016 

(adequacy letter), subsequent to the 

close of the EPA comment period, that 

the EPA had found the LMP to be 

adequate for use in transportation 

conformity determinations. A copy of 

the adequacy letter and its enclosure are 

available in the docket for this action 

and at the EPA’s conformity Web site: 

http://www.epa.gov/otaq/

stateresources/transconf/adequacy.htm. 

Pursuant to 40 CFR 93.109(e), limited 

maintenance plans are not required to 

contain on-road motor vehicle 

emissions budgets. Accordingly, as a 

result of this adequacy finding, regional 

emissions analyses will no longer be 

required as a part of the transportation 

conformity determinations for CO for 

the Medford area. However, other 

conformity requirements still remain 

such as consultation (40 CFR 93.112), 

transportation control measures (40 CFR 

93.113), and project level analysis (40 

CFR 93.116). 

Transportation conformity is required 

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

Transportation conformity to a SIP 

means that on-road transportation 

activities will not produce new air 

quality violations, worsen existing 

violations, or delay timely attainment of 

the national ambient air quality 

standards. The minimum criteria by 

which we determine whether a SIP is 

adequate for conformity purposes are 

specified at 40 CFR 93.118(e)(4). The 

EPA’s analysis of how the LMP satisfies 

these criteria is found in the adequacy 

letter and its enclosure.

Abstract: Owners and operators of 

affected facilities are required to comply 

with reporting and record keeping 

requirements for the general provisions 

of 40 CFR part 60, subpart A, as well as 

for the specific requirements at 40 CFR 

part 60, subpart K. This includes 

submitting initial notifications and 

maintaining 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 reports are used by 

EPA to determine compliance with the 

standards. 

Form Numbers: None. 

Respondents/affected entities: 

Facilities with petroleum liquids storage 

vessels. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Mandatory (40 CFR part 60 Subpart K). 

Estimated number of respondents: 69 

(total). 

Frequency of response: Initially and 

occasionally. 

Total estimated burden: 321 hours 

(per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 

1320.3(b). 

Total estimated cost: $32,200 (per 

year), which includes $0 for both 

annualized capital/startup and 

operation & maintenance costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is a 

substantial decrease in burden from the 

previous ICR due to a decrease in the 

number of sources. Many storage vessels 

have been modified and become subject 

to Subpart Kb. Based on information 

obtained from the Agency’s 2011 

Petroleum Refinery ICR, the number of 

facilities subject to this regulation has 

decreased from 220 to 69. The update in 

source count results in a decrease in the 

labor hours, labor costs, and number of 

responses.

Abstract: Owners and operators of 

affected facilities are required to comply 

with reporting and record keeping 

requirements for the general provisions 

of 40 CFR part 63, subpart A, as well as 

for the specific requirements at 40 CFR 

part 63, subpart RRRRR. This includes 

submitting initial notifications, 

performance tests and periodic reports 

and results, and maintaining 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 reports are 

used by EPA to determine compliance 

with the standards. 

Form Numbers: None. 

Respondents/affected entities: 

Taconite iron ore processing plants. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Mandatory (40 CFR part 63, subpart 

RRRRR). 

Estimated number of respondents: 4 

(total). 

Frequency of response: Initially and 

semiannually. 

Total estimated burden: 276 hours 

(per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 

1320.3(b). 

Total estimated cost: $326,000 (per 

year), which includes $298,000 in either 

annualized capital/startup or operation 

& maintenance costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is an 

adjustment decrease in the respondent 

labor hours and the number of 

responses as currently identified in the 

OMB Inventory of Approved Burdens. 

The decrease is due to a decline in the 

number of respondents. The previous 

ICR estimated eight facilities; however, 

recent industry information indicates 

that only half of these facilities are now 

in operation. 

There is, however, an adjustment 

increase in the respondent O&M costs. 

There is not an actual increase in cost;
