7180 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 25 / Thursday, February 6, 2014 / Notices 

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: This is a proposed extension 

of an ICR that has not been 

implemented because the underlying 

rule (known as the Cross-State Air 

Pollution Rule or Transport Rule) was 

first stayed before the scheduled start of 

compliance and was then vacated by the 

U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. 

Circuit. The D.C. Circuit’s decision 

vacating the rule is currently under 

review by the U.S. Supreme Court (EPA 

v. EME Homer City Generation, L.P., 

Nos. 12–1182 and 12–1183 (U.S. argued 

Dec. 10, 2013)). EPA is proceeding with 

renewal so that the ICR is in place 

should the Supreme Court reverse the 

lower court decision. 

On July 6, 2011 the U.S. 

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) 

finalized Federal Implementation Plans 

to Reduce Interstate Transport of Fine 

Particulate Matter and Ozone (CrossState Air Pollution Rule or CSAPR). 

CSAPR would supersede the Clean Air 

Interstate Rule (CAIR), which pursuant 

to a 2008 D.C. Circuit decision is being 

implemented pending the promulgation 

of a replacement rule. CSAPR includes 

certain new reporting requirements 

beyond the CAIR reporting 

requirements, and combines these new 

requirements with existing requirements 

from the Emission Reporting 

Requirements for Ozone State 

Implementation Plan (SIP) Revisions 

Relating to Statewide Budgets for NOX

Emissions to Reduce Regional Transport 

of Ozone (NOX SIP Call) and the Acid 

Rain Program (ARP) under Title IV of 

the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990. 

Each of these existing requirements has 

an approved ICR in place. The current 

ICRs are: CAIR (EPA ICR Number 

2152.05/OMB Control Number 2060– 

0570), NOX SIP Call (EPA ICR Number 

1857.06/OMB Control Number 2060– 

0445) and ARP (EPA ICR Number 

1633.16/OMB Control Number 2060– 

0258). This ICR and the accompanying 

draft supporting statement are being 

submitted to account for the 

incremental burden associated with 

CSAPR as it was to supersede CAIR in 

2012. As such, the draft supporting 

statement references the burden analysis 

included in EPA ICR Numbers 2152.04, 

1857.05, and 1633.15, and estimates the 

change in burden resulting from CSAPR 

beyond the scope of the existing ICRs 

for the NOX SIP Call requirements and 

the Acid Rain Program. The burden 

included in this ICR includes start-up 

and capital costs for units newly 

affected by an emissions trading 

program and/or whose reporting status 

has changed (e.g., from ozone season 

only to annual reporting), annualized 

capital costs for units previously subject 

to the NOX SIP Call requirements or 

CAIR, and the incremental operation 

and maintenance costs for all CSAPRaffected units. The burden and costs 

accounted for under the CAIR ICR (EPA 

ICR Number 2152.04) would no longer 

occur following implementation of the 

CSAPR ICR. Instead, all those burdens 

and costs would be accounted for under 

this ICR as part of CSAPR 

implementation. 

In addition to the July 6, 2011 final 

CSAPR, on December 15, 2011 EPA 

finalized a supplemental rulemaking 

that added five additional states to the 

CSAPR ozone season NOX program: 

Iowa, Michigan, Missouri, Oklahoma, 

and Wisconsin. EPA has included in the 

CSAPR ICR the costs/burdens associated 

with CSAPR ozone season-affected units 

for these five additional states. Further, 

at the time when the draft supporting 

statement for this ICR was prepared, 

EPA had also proposed to add Kansas to 

the CSAPR ozone season program, so 

the costs/burdens associated with 

Kansas facilities, like the facilities in the 

other five states that were at that time 

merely proposed to be added to the 

program, were included to allow for a 

full accounting of the CSAPR program at 

maturity. See Appendix A of the draft 

supporting statement for a separate 

breakout of the cost/burdens associated 

with these facilities. The final 

supplemental rulemaking did not add 

Kansas to the CSAPR ozone season NOX

program, and the costs/burdens 

associated with Kansas will therefore be 

removed from this ICR before 

finalization. In the event that Kansas 

should be added to the CSAPR ozone 

season NOX program in the future, EPA 

will amend this ICR accordingly. 

Form Numbers: None. 

Respondents/affected entities: Entities 

potentially affected by this action are 

those which are subject to the Federal 

Implementation Plans to Reduce 

Interstate Transport of Fine Particulate 

Matter and Ozone. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

mandatory (Sections 110(a) and 301(a) 

of the Clean Air Act). 

Estimated number of respondents: 

EPA estimates that there are 17,398 

respondents subject to the Federal 

Implementation Plans to Reduce 

Interstate Transport of Fine Particulate 

Matter and Ozone that will conduct 

monitoring in accordance with Part 75. 

Frequency of response: yearly, 

quarterly, occasionally. 

Total estimated burden: 185,201 

hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 

CFR 1320.3(b). 

Total estimated cost: $26,228,962 (per 

year), includes $13,150,678 annualized 

capital or operation & maintenance 

costs. 

Changes in Estimates: There is no 

increase in hours in the total estimated 

respondent burden compared with the 

ICR currently approved by OMB.

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.
