Implementation of the partners’ 

refrigeration management plan to reduce 

refrigerant emissions enhances the 

protection of the environment and may 

save partners money and improve 

operational efficiency. The GreenChill 

Program offers the opportunity for any 

individual store to be GreenChill 

certified at the silver-, gold- or 

platinum-level when it demonstrates 

that the amount of refrigerant used is 

below a specified limit, based on the 

store’s MBTU/hour cooling load, and 

that the refrigerant emitted from the 

store in the prior 12 months is below a 

specified percentage depending on each 

GreenChill store certification level. 

Information submitted for the 

certification of individual stores is 

compared to these set criteria for each 

certification level. The certification of a 

store provides the opportunity for broad 

recognition within the supermarket 

industry and with the store’s customers.

Respondents/affected entities: The 

following is a list of North American 

Industry Classification System (NAICS) 

codes for organizations potentially 

affected by the information 

requirements covered under this ICR 

are: 

445110 Supermarkets 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Voluntary. 

Estimated number of respondents: 30 

(per year). 

Frequency of response: Annual, and 

when desired. 

Total estimated burden: 407 hours 

(per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 

1320.03(b). 

Total estimated cost: $19,726 (per 

year), includes $0 annualized capital or 

operation & maintenance costs. 

Changes in estimates: There is a 

decrease of 1.2 hours in the total 

estimated respondent burden compared 

with the ICR currently approved by 

OMB. This decrease is due in part to a 

decrease in the number of respondents 

due to industry consolidation, 

acquisitions, and bankruptcy, as well as 

a reduction in the number of companies 

joining the partnership each year.

Abstract: The National Emission 

Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants 

(NESHAP) for Natural Gas Transmission 

and Storage (40 CFR part 63, subpart 

HHH) apply to existing facilities and 

new facilities that are major sources of 

hazardous air pollutants (HAP) and that 

either transport or store natural gas prior 

to entering the pipeline to a local 

distribution company or to a final end 

user (if there is no local distribution 

company). The 2012 amendment 

eliminates the startup, shutdown and 

malfunction (SSM) exemption, 

establishes MACT standards for ‘‘small’’ 

glycol dehydration units (glycol 

dehydrators with an actual annual 

average natural gas flowrate less than 

283,000 scmd or actual average benzene 

emissions less than 0.9 Mg/yr), and 

requires facilities using carbon 

adsorbers as a control device to keep 

records of their carbon replacement 

schedule. New facilities include those 

that commenced construction or 

reconstruction after the date of proposal. 

In general, all NESHAP standards 

require initial notifications, 

performance tests, and periodic reports 

by the owners/operators of the affected 

facilities. They 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. These notifications, reports, 

and records are essential in determining 

compliance with 40 CFR part 63, 

subpart HHH. 

Form Numbers: None. 

Respondents/affected entities: Natural 

gas transport and storage facilities. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Mandatory (40 CFR part 63, subpart 

HHH). 

Estimated number of respondents: 55 

(total). 

Frequency of response: Initially, 

occasionally, and semiannually.

Total estimated burden: 2,910 hours 

(per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 

1320.3(b). 

Total estimated cost: $306,000 (per 

year), which includes $0 for annualized 

capital/startup and/or operation & 

maintenance costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is an 

increase in burden hours and number of 

responses in this ICR compared to the 

previous ICR. This increase is not due 

to any program changes. The increase is 

due to an increase in the number of 

affected sources subject to the rule 

based on the latest available data, and 

taking into account growth in this 

industry.

shall state the nature of the issues 

proposed to be raised at the hearing. A 

public hearing may be held at least 

thirty (30) days after public notice 

whenever the Regional Administrator 

finds that response to this notice

General Information: EPA is reissuing 

two General Permits for the following 

discharges from hydroelectric 

generating facilities: (1) Equipmentrelated cooling water (both contact and 

non-contact), (2) equipment and floor 

drain water, (3) maintenance-related 

water from sump dewatering, (4) facility 

maintenance-related water during flood/ 

high water events, and (5) equipmentrelated backwash strainer water. The 

two General Permits are: MAG360000 

for Massachusetts facilities and 

NHG360000 for New Hampshire 

facilities. 

While these are technically distinct 

permits, for convenience, they have 

been grouped into a single document 

and this document refers to the 

‘‘Permit’’ in the singular. The Draft 

General Permit, appendices and 

attachments are available at https://

www.epa.gov/npdes-permits/ 

hydroelectric-generating-facilitiesgeneral-permit-hydrogp-massachusettsnew-hampshire. 

The Draft General Permit includes 

effluent limitations and requirements 

based on water quality considerations. 

The effluent limits established in the 

Draft General Permit ensure that the 

surface water quality standards of the 

receiving water(s) are attained and/or 

maintained. The permit also contains 

BMP plan requirements to ensure EPA 

has the information necessary to ensure 

compliance and to ensure discharges 

meet water quality standards. 

Obtaining Authorization: In order to 

obtain authorization to discharge, 

operators of existing discharges, 

including those facilities with coverage 

under the HYDROGP that expired on 

December 7, 2014 or with individual 

NPDES permits that meet the eligibility 

criteria of this General Permit and 

whose operators seek authorization 

under this General Permit, must file a 

new NOI found in Appendix 4 to EPA 

and the respective State for coverage 

within sixty (60) days of the effective 

date of this permit reissuance. Operators 

with new discharges must submit a NOI 

at least thirty (30) days prior to the 

commencement of discharges. EPA will 

authorize the discharge, request 

additional information, or require the 

operator to apply for an alternative 

permit or an individual permit. NOIs 

may be submitted electronically to EPA 

at Hydro.GeneralPermit@epa.gov or sent 

via regular or overnight mail to: United 

States Environmental Protection 

Agency, EPA/OEP HYDROGP 

Applications Coordinator, 5 Post Office 

Square—Suite 100 (OEP06–1), Boston, 

Massachusetts 02109–3912. If required 

to do so, an operator must also submit 

a copy of the NOI to the Massachusetts 

Department of Environmental Protection 

or the New Hampshire Department of 

Environmental Services. An operator 

will be authorized to discharge under 

the General Permit upon the date
