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: With this information collection request (ICR), we are seeking permission to accept production outlook reports from domestic or foreign renewable fuel producers who are not currently regulated parties under the RFS2 program. The respondents for this ICR are not regulated parties under the RFS2 program and are therefore, not required to register or report under the RFS2 regulations. Submission of production outlook information to EPA
under this ICR will be on a voluntary
basis.

The information that respondents provide will allow EPA to more accurately project cellulosic biofuel volumes for the following calendar year, and these volume projections will form the basis of the percentage standards EPA sets under the RFS2 program.
Without information from these respondents, EPA’s volume projections are more likely to fall below actual projection volumes. Under such circumstances, actual supply for
cellulosic biofuel will exceed the demand created by the standards EPA sets, and the value of cellulosic biofuel
Renewable Identification Numbers (RINs) will fall. RINs are marketable credits that correspond to a given
volume of renewable fuel. Since RIN market price directly affects the economic viability of cellulosic biofuel production, low RIN prices could present economic difficulties to producers. Thus, it is in the interests of these respondents to provide this information to EPA, as doing so could ensure that the market price of RINs appropriately reflects the value of their
cellulosic biofuel. This information also serves a more general program purpose, because it will assist EPA in setting the annual RFS2 standards more accurately for biomass-based diesel, advanced biofuel, and total renewable fuel. Compiling this information may also assist respondents with their planning and compliance activities. We believe that many parties would wish to submit
this information in order to receive better assistance in understanding and complying with the RFS2 regulations.

Form Numbers: 5900–283 (RFS2 0900 Production Outlook Report).

Respondents/affected entities: 35. Respondent’s obligation to respond: Voluntary.

Estimated number of respondents: 35 (total).

Frequency of response: Yearly.
Total estimated burden: 140 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.03(b).

Total estimated cost: $16,100 (per year), includes no annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs.

Changes in Estimates: There is no
increase of hours in the total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently approved by OMB. The respondent universe and responses also
remained the same in this collection.
There was in increase in cost to the industry of $6,160 per year due to better numbers used to calculate the industry
burden and to account for inflation. Dated: January 28, 2014. Byron Bunker, Director, Compliance Division, Office of Transportation and Air Quality, Office of Air
and Radiation.

Abstract: The EPA’s Office of Air and Radiation (OAR) developed the SmartWay Transport Partnership (‘‘SmartWay’’) under directives outlined in Subtitle D of the Energy Policy Act
of 2005 which calls on EPA to assess the energy and air quality impacts of activities within the freight industry. These activities include long-duration truck idling, the development and promotion of strategies for reducing idling, fuel consumption, and negative air quality effects. SmartWay’s objectives also are consistent with the Federal Technology Transfer Act and other laws that support collaborative partnerships between government and industry.

SmartWay is open to organizations that own, operate, or contract with fleetoperations, including truck and multimodal carriers, logistics companies, and shippers. Organizations that do not operate fleets, but that are working to strengthen the freight industry, such as industry trade associations, state and local transportation agencies and environmental groups, also may join as SmartWay Affiliates. All organizations that join SmartWay are asked to provide EPA with information as part of their SmartWay registration to annually benchmark their transportation-related operations and improve the environmental performance of their freight activities.

A company joins SmartWay when it completes and submits a SmartWay Excel-based Partnership tool (‘‘reporting tool’’) to EPA. The data outputs from the submitted tool are used by Partners and SmartWay in several ways. First, the data provides confirmation that SmartWay Partners are meeting established objectives as in their Partnership Agreement. The reporting tool outputs enable EPA to assist SmartWay Partners in adjusting their commitments, as appropriate, and to update them with environmental performance and technology information that empower them to improve their efficiency. This information also improves EPA’s knowledge and understanding of the environmental and energy impacts associated with goods movement, and the effectiveness of both proven and emerging strategies to lessen those impacts.

In addition to requesting annual transportation-related data, EPA may ask its SmartWay Partners for other
kinds of information which could include opinions and test data on the effectiveness of new and emerging technology applications, sales volumesassociated with SmartWayrecommended vehicle equipment and technologies, the reach and value of partnering with EPA through the SmartWay Partnership, and awareness of the SmartWay brand. In some instances, EPA might query other freight industry representatives (not just SmartWay Partners), including trade and professional associations, nonprofit environmental groups, energy, and community organizations, and universities, and a small sampling of the general public.

Form Numbers: None. Respondents/Affected entities: Entities potentially affected by this action include private and public organizations that join the SmartWay Transport Partnership; freight industry representatives who engage in activities related to the SmartWay Partnership; and representative samplings of consumers in the general public. These entities may be affected by EPA efforts
to assess the effectiveness and value of the SmartWay program, awareness of the SmartWay brand, and ideas for improving and developing SmartWay.

Respondent’s obligation to respond: Voluntary.

Estimated number of Program respondents: 3,961.

Frequency of response: The
information collections described in this ICR must be completed in order for an organization to register as or continue its status as a SmartWay Partner, to become a SmartWay Affiliate, to use the SmartWay logo on an EPA-designated tractor or trailer, or to be considered for a SmartWay Excellence Award.

Total estimated burden: The annual
burden for this collection of information that all Respondent Partners incur is estimated to average 11,504 hours with a projected annual aggregate cost of $628,477. The annual burden for this
collection of information that federal agency respondents incur is estimated to average 4,332 hours with a projected annual aggregate cost of $160,292.

This ICR estimates that approximately 2,901 Respondent partners will incur burden associated with SmartWay in the first year, with a growth of 314 Partners per year projected into the future. The estimated average burden time per Respondent is 2.90 hours annually. This is an average across all SmartWay Partners, regardless of whether they are Affiliates, shippers, carriers, or logistics companies. The average also includes 150 consumer and industry respondents who spend far less time, providing the SmartWay program with basic
information on their awareness of the program. Among Respondent Partners, the burden hours are typically higher for larger companies with more complex fleets, than for smaller companies.

Burden means the total time, effort, or financial resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, 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; train personnel to be able to respond to a collection of


### 7183 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 25 / Thursday, February 6, 2014 / Notices

information; search data sources; complete and review the collection of information; and transmit or otherwise
disclose the information.

Total Estimated Cost: The total annual cost to all Respondent Partners is $628,477. The total annual cost to federal agency respondents is $160,292.

Changes in estimates: There is an increase of 3,203 hours in the total estimated Respondent Partner burden compared with the ICR currently approved by OMB. This increase reflects the following adjustments and program changes:

(1) Adjustments associated with increased interest in SmartWay, and thus, an increase in new annual Respondents and applications for the SmartWay Excellence Award, as well as robust Program retention practices, leading to increased number of Respondent partners reporting annually;

(2) Increased burden associated with the SmartWay Tractor & Trailer program; and,

(3) Reduced burden due to EPA’s streamlined Partnership Annual Agreement process.

Abstract: The affected entities are subject to the General Provisions of the NESHAP at 40 CFR part 61, subpart A, and to the provisions at 40 CFR part 61, subparts L and Y. Owners or operators
of the affected facilities must submit a one-time-only report of any physical or operational changes, initial performance tests, and periodic reports and results. Owners or operators are also required to
maintain records of the occurrence and duration of any startup, shutdown, or malfunction in the operation of an affected facility, or any period during which the monitoring system is inoperative. Reports are required quarterly or semiannually at a

minimum.

Form Numbers: None. Respondents/affected entities: Owners or operators of benzene storage vessels and coke by-product recovery plants.

Respondent’s obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 61, subparts L and Y).

Estimated number of respondents: 21 (total).

Frequency of response: Semiannually and occasionally.

Total estimated burden: 3,193 hours (per year). ‘‘Burden’’ is defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).

Total estimated cost: $312,347 (per year), which also includes no annualized capital or operation &

maintenance costs.

Changes in the Estimates: There is an
increase in burden from the mostrecently approved ICR. This increase is not due to any program changes; it is the result of adding the labor burdenassociated with subpart Y. The mostrecently approved ICR only reflected the burden associated with subpart L, while
this ICR reflects the total burden associated with subparts L and Y.

For subpart L, note that the labor
burden between this ICR and the mostrecently approved ICR is virtually identical (there is a one-hour increase, but it is due to differences in rounding). There is an increase in Respondent and Agency burden costs, however. This increase is due to the use of updated
labor rates. This ICR references labor
rates from the Bureau of Labor Statistics to calculate respondent burden costs
and references labor rates from OPM to calculate Agency burden costs.
