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

**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@

**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;
