Agency Information Collection

Activities: Submission for OMB

Review; Comment Request; NSPS for

Stationary Gas Turbines

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: In compliance with the

Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C.

3501 et seq.), this notice announces that

the following Information Collection

Request (ICR) has been forwarded to the

Office of Management and Budget

(OMB) for review and approval: NSPS

(Subpart GG) for Stationary Gas

Turbines; OMB Control Number 2060–

0028; expiring 1/31/98. The ICR

describes the nature of the information

collection and its expected burden and

cost; where appropriate, it includes the

actual data collection instrument.

DATES: Comments must be submitted on

or before December 19, 1997.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For

a copy of the ICR, call Sandy Farmer at

EPA, by phone at (202) 260–2740, by EMail at Farmer.Sandy@epamail.epa.gov

or download off the Internet at http://

www.epa.gov/icr/icr.htm, and refer to

EPA ICR No. 1071.06.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Title: NSPS (Subpart GG) for

Stationary Gas Turbines; OMB Control

Number 2060–0028; EPA ICR No.

1071.06; expiring 1/31/98. This is a

request for extension of a currently

approved collection.

Abstract: NSPS for stationary gas

turbines (GG) were promulgated on

September 10, 1979 to regulate the

emissions of Nitrogen Oxide (NOX) and

Sulfur Dioxide (SO2) into the ambient

air supply. The EPA is charged under

section 111 of the Clean Air Act of 1990,

as amended, to establish these standards

for new stationary sources that reflect

application of the best demonstrated

technology. In addition, section 114(a)

of the Clean Air Act provides for

monitoring, recordkeeping, and

reporting requirements for these

standards.

Owner/operators of affected facilities

must make one-time only reports which

include the following notifications: date

of construction/reconstruction;

anticipated and actual dates of start-up;

any physical or operational change

which may increase the SO2 or NOX

emission rates; commencement date for

the continuous monitoring system

performance demonstration; and date

and results of the initial performance

test. Plant owner/operators must also

provide semi-annual reports of excess

emissions, as promulgated in the

December 13, 1990 Federal Register (55

FR 51378).

Owner/operators must maintain

records of the occurrence and duration

of any start-up, shutdown, or

malfunction in operations, or any

periods during which the monitoring

system is inoperative. Recordkeeping is

also required to document process

information regarding the: sulfur and

nitrogen content of the fuel; fuel:water

ratio; rate of fuel consumption; and

ambient conditions. This latter

recordkeeping function involves daily

measurements from the continuous

monitoring system to monitor ambient

conditions, and to record the fuel

consumption and the ratio of water to

fuel being fired in the turbine only for

plants which use water or steam

injection to control NOX emissions.

There is generally no additional burden

on the owner/operator to provide this

information because adequate

recordkeeping is required of plant

operations.

It is important to note that if these

data and reports are not collected, the

Agency has no means for ensuring that

compliance with the standards is being

achieved and/or maintained by the new,

modified, or reconstructed sources

which are subject to regulation. In the

absence of information collection

requirements, compliance with the

standards could be ensured only

through continuous on-site inspections

by regulatory agency personnel.

Consequently, not collecting the

information would result in either

greatly increased expenditures of

resources, or the inability to ensure

compliance with the standards. In

addition to the purposes mentioned

above, this kind of information is used

for targeting plants for inspections and

as evidence when compliance cases are

taken to court.

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 EPA’s regulations are listed

in 40 CFR part 9 and 48 CFR chapter 15.

Any information submitted to the

Agency for which a claim of

confidentiality is requested will be

safeguarded according to the Agency

policies set forth in Title 40, chapter 1,

part 2, subpart B: Confidentiality of

Business Information (see 40 CFR 2; 41

FR 36902, September 1, 1976; amended

by 43 FR 39999, September 8, 1978; FR
61820 Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 223 / Wednesday, November 19, 1997 / Notices

42251, September 28, 1978; 44 FR

17674, March 23, 1979). The Federal

Register notice required under 5 CFR

1320.8(d), soliciting comments on this

collection of information was published

on 8/20/97; No comments were

received.

Burden Statement: The annual public

reporting and recordkeeping burden for

this collection of information is

estimated to average 51 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; 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: Plant

owner/operators of stationary gas

turbines.

Estimated Number of Respondents:

625

Frequency of Response: Annual

notification reports, and semi-annual

emission reports.

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:

76,681.

Estimated Total Annualized Cost

Burden: 0.

Send comments on the Agency’s need

for this information, the accuracy of the

provided burden estimates, and any

suggested methods for minimizing

respondent burden, including through

the use of automated collection

techniques to the following addresses.

Please refer to EPA ICR No. 1071.06 and

OMB Control No. 2060–0028 in any

New York State Prohibition on Marine

Discharges of Vessel Sewage; Final

Affirmative Determination

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that

the Regional Administrator,

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)

Region II has affirmatively determined,

pursuant to section 312(f) of Pub. L. 92–

500, as amended by Pub. L. 95–217 and

Pub. L. 100–4, (the Clean Water Act),

that adequate facilities for the safe and

sanitary removal and treatment of

sewage from all vessels are reasonably

available for the coastal waters of

Mamaroneck Harbor, Village of

Mamaroneck, County of Westchester,

State of New York.

A petition was made by the New York

State Department of Environmental

Conservation (NYSDEC) in cooperation

with the Village of Mamaroneck. Upon

receipt of this affirmative determination

in response to this petition, NYSDEC

will completely prohibit the discharge

of sewage, whether treated or not, from

any vessel in Mamaroneck Harbor in

accordance with section 312(f)(3) of the

Clean Water Act and 40 CFR 140.4(a).

Notice of the Receipt of Petition and

Tentative Determination was published

in the Federal Register on July 16, 1997.

Comments on the tentative

determination were accepted during a

30-day period which closed on August

15, 1997. No comments were received.

The Village of Mamaroneck is located

on Long Island Sound. Mamaroneck

Harbor encompasses numerous

wetlands, marshes and mud flats

including Guion Creek, Otter Creek, Salt

Creek and Van Amringe Mill Pond. The

No-Discharge Zone includes waters not

indexed lying northerly of a line drawn

in a northeasterly direction from the

southern tip of the sea wall at Orienta

Point near the Orienta Yacht Club at the

foot of Rushmore Avenue in

Mamaroneck, to a point on the

mainland immediately north of Spike

Island at the intersection of the

shoreline and the extension of the line

to the center gable of large stone and

stucco residence at No. 6 Shore Road in

the Greenhaven section within the City

of Rye.

Information submitted by the State of

New York and the Village of

Mamaroneck states that there are three

existing pump-out facilities available to

service vessels which use Mamaroneck

Harbor, and one additional facility

proposed for construction. One facility

is owned and operated by the

Mamaroneck Municipal Marina. This

facility is open continuously and

charges no fee for pump-out services. It

can service vessels up to 80 feet in

length with up to a 8 foot draft based on

the mean low water depth. A second

unit is planned at this facility with the

same operating schedule.

The other facilities are privately

owned and charge no fee for pump-out

services to patrons. They are located at

Nichols Boat Yard and Boston Post Road

Boat Yard. Operating hours for Nichols

Boat Yard pump-out are 0900 to 1700

hours, Monday through Friday and by

appointment on the weekend. It can

service vessels up to 40 feet in length

with up to a 6 foot draft based on the

mean low water depth. The other

facility is located at the Boston Post

Road Boat Yard and operates from 0830

to 1630 Monday through Friday. Length

and draft restrictions are 50 feet and 5.1

feet based on mean low water depth.

Within seven nautical miles of

Mamaroneck Harbor are five other

locations that provide pump-out

facilities.

Vessel waste generated from the

pump-out facilities in Mamaroneck

Harbor is disposed of in the Village of

Mamaroneck Waste Water Treatment

Plant. This plant operates under a State

Pollutant Discharge Elimination System

(SPDES) permit issued by the New York

State Department of Environmental

Conservation.

According to the State’s petition, the

maximum daily vessel population for

the waters of Mamaroneck Harbor is

approximately 1160 vessels. This

estimate is based on summer weekend/

holiday levels of usage and includes

1040 vessels berthed in marinas of

Mamaroneck Harbor and less than 120

transient vessels in Mamaroneck

Harbor.

The EPA hereby makes a final

affirmative determination that adequate

facilities for the safe and sanitary

removal and treatment of sewage from

all vessels are reasonably available for

Mamaroneck Harbor in the Village of

Mamaroneck, New York. A final

determination on this matter has been

made and will result in a New York

State prohibition of any sewage

discharges from vessels in Mamaroneck

Harbor.

Dated: November 4, 1997.
