12000 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 38 / Monday, March 1, 2021 / Notices 

SUMMARY: The EPA Administrator 

signed orders, dated January 13, 2021, 

and January 15, 2021, denying the 

petitions submitted on separate 

permitting actions in Utah and North 

Dakota, respectively. The January 13, 

2021 Order pertains to two petitions 

submitted by the Sierra Club requesting 

that EPA object to the issuance of the 

Clean Air Act (CAA) title V operating 

permit issued to the Hunter Power Plant 

in Castle Dale, Emery County, Utah, by 

the Utah Department of Environmental 

Quality, Division of Air Quality 

(UDAQ). The January 13, 2021 Order 

responds to Sierra Club’s April 11, 2016 

petition regarding title V operating 

permit # 1500101002 (2016 Permit), and 

Sierra Club’s October 20, 2020 petition 

regarding title V operating permit # 

1500101004 (2020 Permit). The January 

15, 2021 Order responds to petitions 

submitted by Casey and Julie Voigt 

requesting that EPA object to the title V 

operating permit issued to the Coyote 

Station Power Plant in Beulah, Mercer 

County, North Dakota, by the North 

Dakota Department of Environmental 

Quality (NDDEQ). 

The Orders constitute final actions on 

the petitions. 

ADDRESSES: You may review copies of 

the Orders and petitions electronically

Email: fallon.gail@epa.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The CAA 

affords EPA a 45-day period to review 

and, as appropriate, the authority to 

object to operating permits proposed by 

state permitting authorities under title V 

of the CAA, 42. U.S.C. 7661–7661f. 

Section 505(b)(2) of the CAA and 40 

CFR 70.8(d) authorize any person to 

petition the EPA Administrator to object 

to a title V operating permit within 60 

days after the expiration of EPA’s 45- 

day review period if EPA has not 

objected on its own initiative. Petitions 

must be based only on objections to the 

permit that were raised with reasonable 

specificity during the public comment 

period provided by the state, unless the 

petitioner demonstrates that it was 

impracticable to raise these issues 

during the comment period or the 

grounds for the issues arose after this 

period. Pursuant to sections 307(b) and 

505(b)(2) of the Act, a petition for 

judicial review of those portions of the 

Order that deny issues in the petition 

may be filed in the United States Court 

of Appeals for the appropriate circuit 

within 60 days from the date this 

document appears in the Federal 

Register. 

State Operating Permit for Hunter 

Power Plant (Emery County, Utah) 

EPA received petitions from the Sierra 

Club, requesting that EPA object to the 

2016 Permit and the 2020 Permit for the 

Hunter Power Plant. Among other 

things, the Sierra Club claims that the 

2016 and 2020 Permits are deficient 

because they do not include Prevention 

of Significant Deterioration (PSD) 

permitting requirements. More 

specifically, the Sierra Club asserts that 

Best Achievable Control Technology 

requirements as well as terms and 

conditions necessary to adequately 

protect national ambient air quality 

standards and PSD increments are 

required. EPA denied the 2016 petition 

on October 16, 2017; however, the 

Sierra Club sought judicial review of a 

portion of the 2017 Order in the United 

States Court of Appeals for the Tenth 

Circuit. On July 2, 2020, the Tenth 

Circuit issued a decision vacating and 

remanding the 2017 Order. EPA’s 

January 13, 2021 Order responds to the 

Tenth Circuit’s decision, replaces the 

vacated portion of EPA’s 2017 Order, 

and separately responds to the 2020 

Petition. 

On January 13, 2021, the 

Administrator issued an Order denying 

the petitions, but directing UDAQ to 

reopen the 2020 Permit for cause. 

State Operating Permit for Coyote 

Station Power Plant (Mercer County, 

North Dakota) 

EPA received petitions from the 

Voigts, requesting that EPA object to the 

title V permit for the Coyote Station 

Power Plant. The Voigts allege that the 

permit fails to ensure compliance with 

applicable requirements under the CAA 

in that: (1) The Coyote Station Power 

Plant and the nearby Coyote Creek Mine 

should be considered a single source for 

title V and New Source Review 

preconstruction permitting purposes; 

and (2) the permit fails to include 

appropriate CAA requirements for the 

mine, the mine’s coal processing plant, 

and the power plant. On January 15, 

2021, the Administrator issued an Order 

denying the petition. 

The Orders issued on January 13, 

2021, and January 15, 2021, explain 

EPA’s basis for denying the petitions. 

Dated: February 23, 2021.

information collection request (ICR), 

‘‘Clean Watersheds Needs Survey 

(CWNS) (Reinstatement)’’ (EPA ICR No. 

0318.14, OMB Control No. 2040–0050) 

to the Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) for review and approval in 

accordance with the Paperwork 

Reduction Act (PRA). Before doing so, 

EPA is soliciting public comments on 

specific aspects of the proposed 

information collection as described 

below. This is a reinstatement of the 

ICR. An Agency may not conduct or 

sponsor and a person is not required to

unless it displays a currently valid OMB 

control number. 

DATES: Comments must be submitted on 

or before April 30, 2021. 

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, 

referencing Docket ID No. EPA–HQ– 

OW–2021–0128 online using

Pursuant to section 3506(c)(2)(A) of 

the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), EPA 

is 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 

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: The Clean Watersheds 

Needs Survey (CWNS) is required by 

Clean Water Act (CWA) Sections 205(a) 

and 516. It is a periodic inventory of 

existing and planned publicly owned 

wastewater conveyance and treatment 

facilities, combined sewer overflow 

correction, stormwater management and 

other water pollution control facilities 

in the United States, as well as an 

estimate of how many of these facilities 

need to be built. The CWNS is a joint 

effort between EPA and the states. The 

CWNS collects cost and technical data 

from states that are associated with 

publicly owned treatment works 

(POTWs) and other water pollution 

control facilities, existing and planned. 

The respondents who provide this 

information to EPA are state agencies 

responsible for environmental pollution 

control and local facility contacts who 

provide documentation to the states. 

Periodically, the states request data or 

documentation from contacts at the 

facility or local government level. These 

respondents are referred to as facilities. 

No confidential information is used, 

nor is sensitive information protected 

from release under the Public 

Information Act. EPA achieves national 

consistency in the final results through 

the application of uniform guidelines 

and validation techniques. 

Form Numbers: None. 

Respondents/affected entities: States, 

Territories, and Local Facilities. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Voluntary. 

Estimated number of respondents: 56 

States and Territories, 5,349 Local 

Facilities (total). 

Frequency of response: Every 4 years. 

Total estimated burden: 9,645 hours 

(per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 

1320.03(b). 

Total estimated cost: $505,004 (per 

year), includes $0 annualized capital or 

operation & maintenance costs. 

Changes in Estimates: There is an 

increase of 541 hours and $134,820 in 

the total estimated respondent burden 

compared with the ICR previously 

approved by OMB. This increase is 

based upon an increase in facility 

universe, as well as an adjustment in 

labor rates and benefits.
