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

the PRA, 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: 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.

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 fleet 

operations, 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 volumes 

associated 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 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

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

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 burden 

associated 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.
