Clean Air Act Operating Permit 

Program; Petition To Object to the Title 

V Permit for Northampton Generating 

Co., LP; Pennsylvania 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice of final action. 

SUMMARY: Pursuant to the Clean Air Act 

(CAA), the Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) Administrator signed an 

Order, dated July 15, 2020, partially 

granting and partially denying a petition 

to object to a state operating permit 

issued by the Pennsylvania Department 

of Environment Protection (PADEP). 

The Order responds to a January 8, 2020 

petition, relating to Northampton 

Generating Co., LP’s Northampton Plant 

(Northampton), an electric utility 

generation facility located in 

Northampton County, Pennsylvania. 

The petition was submitted by the 

Sierra Club and the Clean Air Council. 

This Order constitutes final action on 

that petition requesting that the 

Administrator object to the issuance of 

the proposed CAA title V permit. 

DATES: February 12, 2021. 

ADDRESSES: Copies of the final Order, 

the petition, and all pertinent 

information relating thereto can be 

requested by electronic mail to the 

address set forth below in the FOR

FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section. 

The final Order is also available 

electronically at the following website: 

https://www.epa.gov/title-v-operatingpermits/title-v-petition-database. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Emily Bertram, Permits Branch, Air and 

Radiation Division, EPA Region III, 

(215) 814–5273, bertram.emily@epa.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The CAA 

affords EPA a 45-day period to review 

and object to, as appropriate, operating 

permits proposed by state permitting 

authorities. Section 505(b)(2) of the 

CAA authorizes any person to petition 

the EPA Administrator within 60 days 

after the expiration of this review period 

to object to a state operating permit if 

EPA has not done so. Petitions must be 

based only on objections raised with 

reasonable specificity during the public 

comment period, unless the petitioner 

demonstrates that it was impracticable 

to raise these issues during the comment 

period or that the grounds for objection 

or other issue arose after the comment 

period. 

In the Northampton petition 

(numbered III–2020–1), the Petitioners 

sought EPA objection on the following 

issues: (Claim I) the Northampton 

permit’s monitoring regime did not 

ensure that emissions restrictions are 

met; (Claim II) PADEP erred in allowing 

Northampton to modify its permit using 

the less stringent minor modification 

process. PADEP issued the final 

Northampton operating permit (permit 

No. 48–00021) on December 16, 2019. 

The Order explains the reasons 

behind EPA’s decision to partially grant 

and partially deny the petition for 

objection. Pursuant to section 505(b)(2) 

of the CAA, the Petitioner may seek 

judicial review of those portions of the 

Northampton petition which EPA 

denied in the United States Court of 

Appeals for the appropriate circuit. Any 

petition for review shall be filed within 

60 days of this notice in accordance 

with the requirements of section 307 of 

the CAA.

Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) for review and approval in 

accordance with the Paperwork 

Reduction Act. Before doing so, EPA is 

soliciting public comments on specific 

aspects of the proposed information 

collection as described in this

soliciting 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 

Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 28 / Friday, February 12, 2021 / Notices 9337 

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. 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. At that time, EPA 

will issue another Federal Register 

notice to announce the submission of 

the ICR to OMB and the opportunity to 

submit additional comments to OMB. 

Abstract: EPA promulgated Federal 

Implementation Plans (FIPs) under the 

Clean Air Act for Indian reservations 

located in Idaho, Oregon, and 

Washington in 40 CFR part 49 (70 FR 

18074, April 8, 2005). The FIPs in the 

final rule, also referred to as the Federal 

Air Rules for Indian Reservations in 

Idaho, Oregon, and Washington (FARR), 

include information collection 

requirements associated with the partial 

delegation of administrative authority to 

a Tribe in 40 CFR 49.122; the rule for 

limiting visible emissions at 40 CFR 

49.124; fugitive particulate matter rule 

in 40 CFR 49.126; the wood waste 

burner rule in 40 CFR 49.127; the rule 

for limiting sulfur in fuels in 40 CFR 

49.130; the rule for open burning in 40 

CFR 49.131; the rules for general open 

burning permits, agricultural burning 

permits, and forestry and silvicultural 

burning permits in 40 CFR 49.132, 

49.133, and 49.134; the rule for 

emissions detrimental to human health 

and welfare in 40 CFR 49.135; the 

registration rule in 40 CFR 49.138; and 

the rule for non-title V operating 

permits in 40 CFR 49.139. EPA uses this 

information to manage the activities and 

sources of air pollution on the Indian 

reservations in Idaho, Oregon, and 

Washington. EPA believes these 

information collection requirements are 

appropriate because they will enable 

EPA to develop and maintain accurate 

records of air pollution sources and 

their emissions, track emissions trends 

and changes, identify potential air 

quality problems, allow EPA to issue 

permits or approvals, and ensure 

appropriate records are available to 

verify compliance with these FIPs. The 

information collection requirements 

listed above are all mandatory. 

Regulated entities can assert claims of 

business confidentiality and EPA will 

address these claims in accordance with 

the provisions of 40 CFR part 2, subpart 

B.

The forms associated with this ICR 

are:

Respondents/affected entities: 

Respondents or entities potentially 

affected by this action include owners 

and operators of air emission sources in 

all industry groups and tribal 

governments, located in the identified 

Indian reservations. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Respondents obligation to respond is 

mandatory. See 40 CFR 49.122, 49.124, 

49.126, 49.130 through 135, 49.138, and 

49.139. 

Estimated number of respondents: 

1,732 (total). 

Frequency of response: Annual or 

occasional. 

Total estimated burden: 3,601 hours 

(per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 

1320.03(b). 

Total estimated cost: $286,888 (per 

year), includes $0 annualized capital or 

operation & maintenance costs. 

Changes in Estimates: There is a 

decrease of 614 hours in the total 

estimated respondent burden compared 

with the ICR currently approved by 

OMB. This decrease is based on input 

from source consultations, supersedence 

of the provisions of one rule (49.139), 

and information we have learned about 

the source universe through 

implementing the rules since the ICR 

was updated in 2018.
