Abstract: The NSPS for Stationary Gas 

Turbines were proposed on October 3, 

1977, and promulgated on September 

10, 1979. Owners and operators of 

stationary gas turbines must submit a 

one-time-only notification report of 

construction/reconstruction, 

modification, and startup date, initial 

performance test date, physical or 

operational changes, and demonstration 

of a continuous monitoring system. 

They also must provide a report on 

initial performance test result, 

monitoring results, and any excess 

emissions. Records must be maintained 

for the following topics: startups, 

shutdowns, and malfunctions; periods 

when the continuous monitoring system 

is inoperative; sulfur and nitrogen 

content of the fuel; fuel to water ratio; 

rate of fuel consumption; and ambient 

conditions. Semiannual reports are also 

required. 

Form Numbers: None. 

Respondents/affected entities: 

Stationary gas turbines. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Mandatory (40 CFR part 60, subpart 

GG). 

Estimated number of respondents: 

535 (total). 

Frequency of response: Initially and 

semiannually. 

Total estimated burden: 68,447 hours 

(per year). ‘‘Burden’’ is defined at 5 CFR 

1320.3(b). 

Total estimated cost: $6,695,243 (per 

year), which includes zero annualized 

capital or operation & maintenance 

costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is no 

change in the number of affected 

facilities or the number of burden hours 

as currently identified in the OMB 

Inventory of Approved Burdens. 

However, there is an increase in the 

estimated labor costs for industry and a 

decrease in the estimated labor costs for 

the Agency when compared to the 

previous ICR. This is not due to any 

program changes. They are the result of 

updated industry labor rates, which 

resulted in an increase in industry labor 

costs; and of a mathematical correction 

to the Agency cost estimate in the 

previous ICR.

Director, Collection Strategies Division.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

The SAB was established pursuant to 

the Environmental Research, 

Development, and Demonstration 

Authorization Act (ERDDAA), codified 

at 42 U.S.C. 4365, to provide 

independent scientific and technical 

advice to the Administrator on the 

scientific and technical basis for Agency 

positions and regulations. The SAB is a 

Federal Advisory Committee chartered 

under the Federal Advisory Committee 

Act (FACA), 5 U.S.C., App. 2. The SAB 

will comply with the provisions of 

FACA and all appropriate SAB Staff 

Office procedural policies. Pursuant to 

FACA and EPA policy, notice is hereby 

given that the SAB will hold a public 

meeting to discuss and deliberate on the 

topics below. 

Briefing on ORD Research Program 

The SAB and ORD’s Board of 

Scientific Councilors (BOSC) provided a 

joint report to the Administrator in 

September 2012 entitled 

Implementation of ORD Strategic 

Research Plans: A Joint Report of the 

Science Advisory Board and ORD Board 

of Scientific Counselors (EPA–SAB–12– 

012). ORD will provide a briefing to 

update SAB members on recent ORD 

research efforts and plans to request 

advice from the SAB in 2014 on ORD’s 


sroberts on DSK5SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
68058 Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 219 / Wednesday, November 13, 2013 / Notices 

implementation of its strategic research 

plans. 

Quality Review of a Draft SAB Report 

on Recommendations for the Scientific 

and Technological Achievement 

Awards 

The EPA has established Science and 

Technological Achievement Awards 

(STAA) to honor and recognize EPA 

employees who have made outstanding 

contributions in the advancement of 

science and technology through their 

research and development activities, as 

exhibited in publication of their results 

in peer-reviewed journals. In response 

to a request from EPA’s Office of 

Research and Development an SAB 

panel developed a draft report that 

makes recommendations concerning 

nominations to the Agency’s FY 2013 

STAA competition. Background 

information about this advisory activity 

can be found on the SAB Web site at 

http://yosemite.epa.gov/sab/ 

sabproduct.nsf/fedrgstr_activites/ 

2013%20STAA%20Rev

iew?OpenDocument. 

At the December 4–5, 2013, meeting, 

the chartered SAB will conduct a 

quality review of the panel’s draft report 

before it is transmitted to the EPA 

Administrator. The SAB quality review 

process ensures that all draft reports 

developed by SAB panels, committees 

or workgroups are reviewed and 

approved by the Chartered SAB before 

being finalized and transmitted to the 

EPA Administrator. These reviews are 

conducted in a public meeting as 

required by FACA. 

Briefings on EPA Climate Science and 

Research 

The chartered SAB has requested an 

informational briefing from the EPA to 

inform the SAB about EPA’s Climate 

Action Plan and how the agency plans 

to support its regulations, programs, and 

policies with needed science. The SAB 

has requested this briefing so that the 

Board can: Better understand upcoming 

EPA climate-related actions; so that it 

can be prepared to provide future advice 

regarding agency climate science and 

research. 

Discussion of Information Provided in 

the Agency’s Semiannual Regulatory 

Agenda 

As part of the EPA’s effort to routinely 

inform the SAB about proposed and 

planned agency actions that have a 

scientific or technical basis, the agency 

provided notice to the SAB that the 

Office of Management and Budget 

published the ‘‘Unified (Regulatory) 

Agenda’’ on the Web on July 3, 2013 

(http://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/ 

eAgendaMain). During the December 

3–4, 2013 meeting, the SAB will discuss 

whether it should provide advice and 

comment on the adequacy of the 

scientific and technical basis for EPA 

actions included in the Agenda. This 

discussion will replace SAB 

teleconferences originally announced 

for October 25, 2013 and October 30, 

2013 (78 FR 59678) and subsequently 

cancelled as a result of the federal 

government shut down. 

Availability of Meeting Materials: A 

meeting agenda and other materials for 

the meeting will be placed on the SAB 

Web site at http://epa.gov/sab. 

Procedures for Providing Public Input: 

Public comment for consideration by 

EPA’s federal advisory committees and 

panels has a different purpose from 

public comment provided to EPA 

program offices. Therefore, the process 

for submitting comments to a federal 

advisory committee is different from the 

process used to submit comments to an 

EPA program office. 

Federal advisory committees and 

panels, including scientific advisory 

committees, provide independent 

advice to the EPA. Members of the 

public can submit relevant comments 

pertaining to the EPA’s charge, meeting 

materials, or the group providing 

advice. Input from the public to the SAB 

will have the most impact if it provides 

specific scientific or technical 

information or analysis for the SAB to 

consider or if it relates to the clarity or 

accuracy of the technical information. 

Members of the public wishing to 

provide comment should contact the 

DFO directly. 

Oral Statements: In general, 

individuals or groups requesting an oral 

presentation at a public meeting will be 

limited to five minutes. Persons 

interested in providing oral statements 

at the December 4–5, 2013, meeting 

should contact Dr. Angela Nugent, DFO, 

in writing (preferably via email) at the 

contact information noted above by 

November 29, 2013. 

Written Statements: Written 

statements for the December 4–5, 2013, 

meeting should be received in the SAB 

Staff Office by November 29, 2013, so 

that the information may be made 

available to the SAB for its 

consideration prior to this meeting. 

Written statements should be supplied 

to the DFO in the following formats: 

either an electronic copy (preferred) via 

email (acceptable file format: Adobe 

Acrobat PDF, MS Word, WordPerfect, 

MS PowerPoint, or Rich Text files in 

IBM–PC/Windows 98/2000/XP format) 

or in hard copy with original signature. 

Submitters are asked to provide 

electronic versions of each document 

submitted with and without signatures, 

because the SAB Staff Office does not 

publish documents with signatures on 

its Web sites. Members of the public 

should be aware that their personal 

contact information, if included in any 

written comments, may be posted to the 

SAB Web site. Copyrighted material will 

not be posted without explicit 

permission of the copyright holder. 

Accessibility: For information on 

access or services for individuals with 

disabilities, please contact Dr. Nugent at 

the phone number or email address 

noted above, preferably at least ten days 

prior to the meeting, to give the EPA as 

much time as possible to process your 

request. 

Dated: November 4, 2013. 

Thomas H. Brennan, 

Deputy Director, EPA Science Advisory Board 

Staff Office.
