Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 249 / Wednesday, December 28, 2011 / Notices 81493 

of these voluntary partnership 

programs. 

EPA has developed this ICR to obtain 

authorization to collect information 

from organizations participating in the 

GPP and CHPP. Organizations that join 

these programs voluntarily agree to the 

following respective actions: (1) 

Designating a Green Power or CHP 

liaison and filling out a Partnership 

Agreement or Letter of Intent (LOI) 

respectively, (2) for the GPP, reporting 

to EPA, on an annual basis, their 

progress toward their green power 

commitment via a 3-page reporting 

form; (3) for the CHP Partnership, 

reporting to EPA information on their 

existing CHP projects, new project 

development, and other CHP-related 

activities via a one-page reporting form 

(for projects) or via an informal email or 

phone call (for other CHP-related 

activities). EPA uses the data obtained 

from its Partners to assess the success of 

these programs in achieving their 

national energy and greenhouse gas 

(GHG) reduction goals. Partners are 

organizational entities that have 

volunteered to participate in either 

Partnership program. 

Burden Statement: Please note that 

the following burden hour and labor 

rates may change in the final ICR, 

pending the application of survey 

results of Partners. The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to equal 10,407 hours for 

submission and processing and to 

average 4.79 hours per year per 

respondent. The average number of 

annual burden hours on first-year 

Partners for each type of one-time 

response is: 4.4 hours for a Partnership 

Agreement (a one-time burden for GPP 

Partners) and 2.5 hours for a Letter of 

Intent (a one-time burden for CHPP 

Partners). Annual burden hours on 

existing Partners for yearly reports are 

estimated at 2.6 hours for the Partner 

Yearly Report for the GPP and 3.5 hours 

for the Partner Yearly Report for the 

CHPP. 

Partners from both programs may also 

submit voluntary updates of simple 

information, such as contact 

information or company profiles, via the 

EPA Web site. These updates would 

take from 15 minutes to 0.5 hours each. 

A subset of Partners may participate in 

brief (i.e., 15 minute) telephone calls 

with EPA to clarify questions pertaining 

to the Partnership Agreement or LOI, 

GPP Yearly Report or CHPP Partner 

project reporting. All of these activities 

are included in the annual burden 

estimate. 

The estimated number of annual 

respondents averaged over three (3) 

years is 2,174 which include an average 

of 1,660 for the GPP and 514 

respondents for the CHPP. 

There are no capital or start-up costs 

associated with this information 

collection. The average annual 

operation and maintenance cost 

resulting for this collection of 

information is $3 per respondent. The 

average annual labor cost is $152.09 per 

respondent, pending the application of 

survey results of Partners. The resulting 

total annual cost for Partners averaged 

over the three year period is $337,166. 

In the previous ICR the total cost 

averaged over the 3-year period was 

$521,937. The total cost estimate 

decrease for Partners is due to a 

corrected downward adjustment in the 

labor rates used to calculate respondent 

burden, partially offset by an increase in 

the number of Partners. 

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 which have subsequently 

changed; 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. 

The ICR provides a detailed 

explanation of the Agency’s estimate, 

which is only briefly summarized here: 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

2,174. 

Frequency of Response: Annually, on 

Occasion, One time. 

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 

10,407. 

Estimated Total Annual Cost 

(including Partner, EPA, and contractor 

costs): $473,979, which includes $0 

annualized Capital Startup costs, $6,522 

annualized Operating and Maintenance 

(O&M) costs and $467,457 annualized 

Labor costs. 

Are there changes in the estimates from 

the last approval? 

Since the last ICR renewal, both the 

GPP and CHPP have introduced 

program efficiencies to reduce program 

burden by encouraging the electronic 

submission of documents directly to the 

program support contractors. The 

average number of hours per Partner 

remained the same, at 3.24 hours, 

pending a partner survey to determine 

the results of these efficiencies. The 

total hourly burden increased due to an 

increase in the number of Partners. For 

perspective on the magnitude of partner 

growth, the number of Partners at the 

end of 2008 was 1,286, whereas by the 

end of 2011 there will be an estimated 

1,725. The total cost estimate over the 

3-year period for this renewal ICR is 

$1,421,937, or an average of $473,979 

per year, of which $6,522 is O&M costs. 

The total cost to GPP and CHPP Partners 

is $1,011,498 ($19,566 is O&M), or 

$337,166 ($6,522 is O&M) per year. In 

the previous 2008 ICR renewal, the total 

cost over the 3-year period was 

$1,991,978. The total cost estimate 

decrease for Partners is due to a 

corrected downward adjustment in the 

labor rates for respondents, partially 

offset by an increase in the number of 

Partners. 

What is the next step in the process for 

this ICR? 

EPA will consider the comments 

received and amend the ICR as 

appropriate. The final ICR package then 

will be submitted to OMB for review 

and approval pursuant to 5 CFR 

1320.12. At that time, EPA will issue 

another Federal Register notice 

pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.5(a)(1)(iv) to 

announce the submission of the ICR to 

OMB and the opportunity to submit 

additional comments to OMB. If you 

have any questions about this ICR or the 

approval process, please contact the 

technical person listed under FOR

Foundry Area Sources (Renewal). 

ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 

2267.03, OMB Control Number 2060– 

0605. 

ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to 

expire on December 31, 2011. Under 

OMB regulations, the Agency may 

continue to conduct or sponsor the 

collection of information while this 

submission is pending at OMB. 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 

the EPA regulations are listed in 40 CFR 

part 9 and 48 CFR chapter 15, and are 

identified on the form and/or 

instrument, if applicable. 

Abstract: The final rule for National 

Emission Standards for Hazardous Air 

Pollutants (NESHAP) for Iron and Steel 

Foundry Area Sources (40 CFR part 63, 

subpart ZZZZZ) published on January 2, 

2008 (73 FR 225). Potential respondents 

are owners or operators of any existing 

or new iron or steel foundry that is an 

area source of hazardous air pollutants 

(HAP) emissions. Research and 

development facilities are not covered 

by the rule. Foundries covered by the 

rule would not be required to obtain a 

Title V operating permit. 

There are different requirements for 

foundries based on size. Small iron and 

steel foundries are required to comply 

with pollution prevention management 

practices for scrap materials, the 

removal of mercury switches, and 

binder formulations. Large iron and 

steel foundries are required to comply 

with the same pollution prevention 

management practices as small 

foundries in addition to emissions 

limitations for melting furnaces and 

foundry operations. 

Owners or operators must submit 

notification that the facility is subject to 

the rule, notification of performance 

test, notification of compliance status 

(including results of performance tests 

and other initial compliance 

demonstrations), and the semiannual 

compliance report. Owners or operators 

of cellulose products manufacturing 

facilities subject to the rule must 

maintain a file of these measurements 

and retain the file for at least five years 

following the date of such 

measurements, maintenance reports, 

and records. 

All reports are sent to the delegated 

state or local authority. In the event that 

there is no such delegated authority, the 

reports are sent directly to the EPA 

regional office. This information is 

being collected to assure compliance 

with 40 CFR part 63, subpart ZZZZZ, as 

authorized in section 112 and 114(a) of 

the Clean Air Act. The required 

information consists of emissions data 

and other information that have been 

determined to be private. 

Burden Statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average 16 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 which have subsequently 

changed; 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: Iron 

and Steel Foundry Area Sources. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

427. 

Frequency of Response: Initially, and 

semiannually. 

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 

6,024. 

Estimated Total Annual Cost: 

$429,208, which includes $420,718 in 

labor costs, $8,490 capital/startup costs, 

and no operation and maintenance 

(O&M) costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is no 

change in the labor hours or cost to the 

respondents in this ICR compared to the 

previous ICR. This is due to two 

considerations: (1) the regulations have 

not changed over the past three years 

and are not anticipated to change over 


srobinson on DSK4SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 249 / Wednesday, December 28, 2011 / Notices 81495 

the next three years; and (2) the growth 

rate according to the industry sources is 

very low, negative or non-existent, so 

there is no significant change in the 

overall burden. There are no new 

facilities expected to be constructed 

over the next three years of this ICR. 

Therefore, the labor hours and cost 

figures in the previous ICR reflect the 

current burden on the respondents and 

are reiterated in this ICR.

Number. The OMB Control Numbers for 

the EPA regulations are listed in 40 CFR 

part 9 and 48 CFR chapter 15, and are 

identified on the form and/or 

instrument, if applicable. 

Abstract: The National Emission 

Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants 

(NESHAP) for Gasoline Distribution 

Bulk Terminals, Bulk Plants, Pipeline 

Facilities and Gasoline Dispensing 

Facilities was published on January 10, 

2008 (73 FR 1916), and amended on 

January 24, 2011 (76 FR 4156). Potential 

respondents are owners or operators of 

any existing or new gasoline 

distribution facilities that are an area 

source of hazardous air pollutants 

(HAP) emissions. 

In addition to the initial notification 

and notification of compliance status 

required by the General Provisions to 40 

CFR part 63, subpart A, respondents are 

required to submit one-time reports of 

start of construction, anticipated and 

actual startup dates, and physical or 

operational changes to existing 

facilities. Reports of initial performance 

tests on control devices at gasoline 

distribution storage tanks, loading racks, 

and vapor balance systems are also 

required and are necessary to show that 

the installed control devices are meeting 

the emission limitations required by the 

NESHAP. Annual reports of storage tank 

inspections at all affected facilities are 

required. In addition, respondents must 

submit semiannual compliance and 

continuous monitoring system 

performance reports, and semiannual 

reports of equipment leaks not repaired 

within 15 days or loadings of cargo 

tanks for which vapor tightness 

documentation is not available. 

All records are to be maintained for at 

least five years. All reports are to be 

submitted to the respondent’s State or 

local agency, whichever has been 

delegated enforcement authority by the 

EPA. The information is to be used to 

determine whether all sources subject to 

the NESHAP are achieving the 

standards. 

This information is being collected to 

assure compliance with 40 CFR part 63, 

subpart BBBBBB and CCCCCC, as 

authorized in section 112 and 114(a) of 

the Clean Air Act. The required 

information consists of emissions data 

and other information that have been 

determined to be private.
