Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 176 / Tuesday, September 11, 2018 / Notices 45927 

Information that is collected is 

handled according to the EPA’s policies 

set forth in title 40, chapter 1, part 2, 

subpart B—Confidentiality of Business 

Information (see 40 CFR part 2). See also 

section 114(c) of the Act. 

Form Numbers: None. 

Respondents/affected entities: 

Industrial plants (sources); state, local 

and tribal permitting authorities. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

mandatory (see 40 CFR part 70). 

Estimated number of respondents: 

13,712 sources and 117 state, local and 

tribal permitting authorities. 

Frequency of response: On occasion. 

Total estimated burden: 4,738,925 

hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 

CFR 1320.03(b). 

Total estimated cost: $321,878,589 

(per year). There are no annualized 

capital or operation & maintenance 

costs. 

Changes in Estimates: There is a 

decrease of 429,890 hours per year for 

the estimated respondent burden 

compared with the ICR currently 

approved by OMB. This decrease is due 

to updated estimates of the number of 

sources and permits subject to the part 

70 program, rather than any change in 

federal mandates.

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency plans to submit an information 

collection request (ICR), ‘‘Establishing 

No-Discharge Zones (NDZs) Under 

Clean Water Act section 312 (Renewal)’’ 

(EPA ICR No. 1791.08, OMB Control No. 

2040–0187) to the Office of Management 

and Budget (OMB) for review and 

approval in accordance with the 

Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA). Before

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Supporting documents which explain in 

detail the information that the EPA will 

be collecting are available in the public 

docket for this ICR. The docket can be

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

the PRA, the EPA solicits 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). The 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, the 

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: (A) Sewage No-Discharge 

Zones: CWA section 312(f) and the 

implementing regulations in 40 CFR 

part 140 provide that information must 

be submitted to the EPA to establish a 

no-discharge zone (NDZ) for vessel 

sewage in state waters. No-discharge 

zones can be established to provide 

greater environmental protection of 

specified state waters from treated and 

untreated vessel sewage. This ICR 

addresses the information requirements 

associated with the establishment of 

NDZs for vessel sewage. The 

information collection activities 

discussed in this ICR do not require the 

submission of any confidential 

information. 

(B) Uniform National Discharge 

Standards (UNDS) No-Discharge Zones 

and Discharge Determination or 

Standard Review: CWA section 

312(n)(7) and the implementing 

regulations in 40 CFR part 1700 provide 

that information should be submitted to 

the EPA to establish a no-discharge zone 

in state waters for a particular discharge 

from a vessel of the Armed Forces. In 

addition, CWA section 312(n)(5) 

provides that that the Governor of any 

state may petition the EPA and the DoD 

to review any discharge determination 

or standard promulgated under CWA 

section 312 for vessels of the Armed 

forces if there is significant new 

information that could reasonably result 

in a change to the discharge 

determination or standard. This ICR 

addresses the information requirements 

associated with the establishment of an 

UNDS NDZ for a particular discharge 

from a vessel of the Armed Forces in 

addition to the information 

requirements associated with a request 

to the EPA and DoD to review a 

discharge determination or standard. 

UNDS NDZs for a particular discharge 

from a vessel of the Armed Forces 

cannot be requested or established until 

after the EPA and DoD promulgate 

vessel discharge performance standards 

for marine pollution control devices for 

that particular discharge and DoD 


daltland on DSKBBV9HB2PROD with NOTICES
45928 Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 176 / Tuesday, September 11, 2018 / Notices 

promulgates the corresponding 

regulations governing the design, 

construction, installation and use of 

marine pollution control devices for that 

particular discharge. The information 

collection activities discussed in this 

ICR do not require the submission of 

any confidential information. 

Form numbers: None. 

Respondents/affected entities: States. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

The responses to this collection of 

information are required to obtain the 

benefit of a sewage NDZ (CWA section 

312(f)). The responses to this collection 

of information are required to obtain the 

benefit of an UNDS NDZ or a review of 

an UNDS discharge determination or 

standard (CWA section 312(n)). 

Estimated number of respondents: 16 

(total). 

Frequency of response: One time. 

Total estimated burden: 1,083 hours 

(per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 

1320.03(b). 

Total estimated cost: $54,938 (per 

year), includes $998 annualized capital 

or operation & maintenance costs. 

Changes in estimates: It is anticipated 

that the burden hours will stay the same 

as the current estimate or decrease due 

to changes in respondent universe when 

we revise them for this ICR extension. 

Cost estimates will likely remain the 

same or rise at the time of revision 

because of changes in the state and 

federal labor costs.

Abstract: The authority for these 

requirements is section 112(r) of the 

1990 CAA Amendments, which 

provides for the prevention and 

mitigation of accidental releases. 

Section 112(r) mandates that EPA 

promulgate a list of ‘‘regulated 

substances’’ with threshold quantities 

and establish procedures for the 

addition and deletion of substances 

from the list of regulated substances. 

Processes at stationary sources that 

contain more than a threshold quantity 

of a regulated substance are subject to 

accidental release prevention 

regulations promulgated under CAA 

section 112(r)(7). These two rules are 

codified as 40 CFR part 68. 

Part 68 requires that sources with 

more than a threshold quantity of a 

regulated substance in a process 

develop and implement a risk 

management program and submit a risk 

management plan (RMP) to EPA. EPA 

uses RMPs to conduct oversight of 

regulated sources, and to communicate 

information concerning them to federal, 

state, and local agencies and the public, 

as appropriate. 

The compliance schedule for the part 

68 requirements was established by rule 

on June 20, 1996. The burden to sources 

that are currently covered by part 68, for 

initial rule compliance, including rule 

familiarization and program 

implementation was accounted for in 

previous ICRs. Sources submitted their 

first RMPs by June 21, 1999. For most 

sources, the next compliance deadlines 

occurred (and will occur) thereafter at 

five-year intervals—in 2004, 2009, 2014 

and 2019. Therefore, resubmissions tend 

to occur in ‘‘waves’’ peaking each fifth
