a permitting authority but is not a respondent).

Estimated Total Annual Burden: For part 70, the total annual burden for sources and state and local permitting authorities is 5,311,884 hours and the total annual cost is $226,736,622. For part 71, the total annual burden for sources and the one delegate agency (tribal) is 38,731 hours and the total annual cost is $1,865,183.

Are there changes in the estimates from the last approval?

Since the last renewal of the part 70 ICR (in 2007), there is a decrease of 214 thousand hours (or about a 4 percent decrease) of annual respondent burden. This change is primarily due to an updated estimate of the number of permits expected compared to the last ICR renewal. To a lesser extent, this decrease is due to reduced permit renewal activity related to implementation of the Flexible Permits rule. Although the GHG Tailoring rule
increased the number of source respondents by 552, the increase in burden was more than offset by the decrease in burden from the updated estimate of the number of permits and
the decreased burden from the implementation of the Flexible Air Permits rule. Also, the annual per respondent burden has changed very little since the last part 70 ICR renewal (248 hours previously compared to the
new estimate of 250 hours or about a 1 percent increase).

Since the last renewal of the part 71 ICR (in 2007), there is an increase of 10
thousand hours of total annual respondent burden (about a 36 percent increase). This is primarily due to an updated estimate of the number of permits expected (123 permits in the prior renewal versus 174 permits in this renewal or a 42 percent increase), which is due to increased energy development (oil and gas exploration and alternative energy development) in offshore areas under the EPA jurisdiction. In the current part 71 renewal, the Flexible Air Permits rule and the GHG Tailoring rule result in nearly offseting decreases and increases in burden. Also, even though
the total annual burden has increased compared to the prior ICR renewal, the annual per source burden has decreased by about 3 percent.

What is the next step in the process for
this ICR?

The 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 pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.12. At that time, the EPA will issue another Federal Register notice pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.5(a)(1)(iv) to
announce the submission of the ICRs to OMB and the opportunity to submit additional comments to OMB. If you have any questions about this ICR or the approval process, please contact the technical person listed under **FOR**

Title: NSPS for Metallic Mineral Processing Plants (Renewal).

ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 0982.10, OMB Control Number 2060–

0016.

ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on December 31, 2011. Under OMB regulations, the Agency may continue to conduct or sponsor the
collection of information while this submission is pending at OMB.

Abstract: The New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for


### 77824 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 240 / Wednesday, December 14, 2011 / Notices

Metallic Mineral Processing Plants (40 CFR part 60, subpart LL) were promulgated on February 21, 1984, and amended on October 17, 2000. This NSPS affects both owners and operators of metallic mineral processing plants.

Owners and operators must conduct initial performance tests, maintain records of startups, shutdowns, malfunctions, and continuous monitoring system parameters, and submit semiannual reports. These notifications, reports, and records are essential in determining compliance; and, in general, are required of all sources subject to NSPS.

Notifications are to inform the Agency or delegated authority when a source becomes subject to the standard. The reviewing authority may then inspect the source to check if the pollution control devices are properly installed and operating, and that the standards are being met. Performance test reports are required as these are the Agency’s records of a source’s initial capability to comply with the emission standards and to serve as a record of the operating conditions under which compliance are
to be achieved. The information generated by monitoring, recordkeeping, and reporting requirements described in this ICR are used by the Agency to ensure that facilities affected by the standard continue to operate the control equipment and achieve continuous compliance with the regulation.

All reports are sent to the delegated state or local authority. In the event that there is no such delegated authority, the reports are sent directly to the EPA regional office. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 63, subpart LL, as authorized in section 112 and 114(a) of the Clean Air Act. The required
information consists of emissions data
and other information that have been determined to be private.

An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB
Control Number. The OMB Control Numbers for the EPA regulations are listed in 40 CFR part 9 and 48 CFR chapter 15, and are identified on the form and/or instrument, if applicable.

Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for
this collection of information is estimated to average 52 hours per response. Burden means the total time, effort, or financial resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or disclose or provide information to or for a Federal agency. This includes the time needed to review instructions; develop, acquire, install, and utilize technology and systems for the purposes of collecting, validating, and verifying information, processing and maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information; adjust the existing ways to comply with any previously applicable instructions and requirements which have subsequently changed; train personnel to be able to respond to a collection of information; search data sources; complete and review the collection of information;
and transmit or otherwise disclose the
information.

Respondents/Affected Entities: Metallic mineral processing plants.

Estimated Number of Respondents:

20.

Frequency of Response: Initially, occasionally, and semiannually.

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:

2,306.

Estimated Total Annual Cost: $233,712, which includes $220,712 in labor costs, no capital/startup costs, and $13,000 in operation and maintenance (O&M) costs.

Changes in the Estimates: There is no change in the labor hours to the respondents in this ICR compared to the previous ICR. After consulting the Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards (OAQPS) and trade associations, our data indicates that there are approximately 20 sources subject to the rule, with no additional new sources over the next three years.

However, there is an increase in the estimated burden cost as currently identified in the OMB Inventory of approved Burdens. The increase is not due to any program changes, but the change in burden is due to the use of the most updated labor rates.

Accordingly, EPA hereby issues in this notice a cancellation order granting the requested cancellations. Any distribution, sale, or use of the products subject to this cancellation order is permitted only in accordance with the
terms of this order. 11P–1531
