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 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

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.
