delegation and makes certain showings regarding its authority and ability to implement the program. One such delegate agency for the part 71 program exists at present.

In order to receive an operating permit for a major or other source subject to either of the permitting programs, the applicant must conduct the necessary research, perform the appropriate analyses and prepare the permit application with documentation to demonstrate that its facility meets all applicable statutory and regulatory requirements. Specific activities and requirements are listed and described in the Supporting Statements for the two
ICRs.

State and local agencies under part 70 and the EPA (or a delegate agency) under part 71 review permit applications, provide for public review of proposed permits, issue permits
based on consideration of all technical factors and public input, and review information submittals required of sources during the term of the permit. Also, under part 70, the EPA reviews
certain actions of the state and local agencies and provides oversight of the programs to ensure that they are being adequately implemented and enforced. Under part 71, the EPA reviews certain actions and performs oversight for any delegate agency, consistent with the terms of a delegation agreement. Consequently, information prepared and submitted by sources is essential for sources to receive permits, and for federal, state, local and tribal permitting agencies to adequately review the permit applications and thereby properly administer and manage the

program.

Since the previous renewal of this ICR, the EPA has promulgated two changes to the part 70 and 71 regulations: the Flexible Air Permits rule and the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Tailoring rule. The first rule provides a
mechanism for sources to establish provisions in their operating permits that result in fewer permit revisions necessary during the term of the permit;
the second establishes levels where GHG emissions trigger permitting requirements. The information collection requirements for these regulatory revisions were approved by the OMB after the approval of the 2007 ICR renewals, and those approved changes are included and updated in these ICR renewals. Also, the previous part 71 ICR renewal identifed the EPA as the sole permitting authority, while this part 71 renewal identifies the EPA and one delegate agency, the Navaho Nation, as permitting authorities (the EPA continues to serve as a permitting authority in all areas, while the delegate agency serves as a permitting authority in a limited portion of Indian country).

Burden Statement: 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.

The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for the collection of information under parts 70 and 71 is
broken down as follows:

Type of permit action Part 70 Part 71

Number of Sources .............................................................................................................. .................................... 15,940 174 Burden Hours per Response:
Sources ........................................................................................................................ ..................................... 250 209 Permitting Authority ........................................................................................................... ............................... 84 90
Total Annual Burden Hours:
Sources ........................................................................................................................ ..................................... 3,977,316 36,375 Permitting Authority ........................................................................................................... ............................... 1,336,370 1,254 a

Any minor discrepencies are due to rounding.

a Only delegate agency burden is shown for part 71.

Respondents/Affected Entities: Industrial plants (sources); state, local and tribal permitting authorities.

Estimated Number of Respondents: For part 70 there are 15,940 sources and 112 state and local permitting authorities. For part 71 there are 174 industry sources and 1 tribal delegate permitting authority. (The EPA serves as a permitting authority but, as a federal agency, is not a respondent.)

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: For part 70, the total annual burden for sources and state and local permitting authorities is 5,313,686 hours. For part 71, the total annual burden for sources and the one delegate agency (tribal) is 37,629 hours.

Estimated Total Annual Cost: For part 70, the total annual cost for sources and state and local permitting authorities is $322,734,860. For part 71, the total
annual cost for sources and the one delegate agency (tribal) is $2,393,171. In both cases, all costs are labor costs; there are no capital, startup or operating
and maintenance costs.

Changes in the Estimates: Since the last renewal of the part 70 ICR (in 2007), there is an decrease of about 199,000 hours (or nearly a 5 percent decrease) of annual respondent burden. This change is primarily due to an updated estimate of the number of permits expected.

Since the last renewal of the part 71 ICR (in 2007), there is an increase of over 10,000 hours of total annual respondent burden (about a 38 percent increase). This is primarily due to an updated estimate of the number of permits expected.

Title: National Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP)
for Nine Metal Fabrication and Finishing Area Sources (Renewal)

ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 2298.03, OMB Control Number 2060–

0622

ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on April 31, 2012. Under OMB regulations, the Agency may continue to conduct or sponsor the collection of
information while this submission is pending at OMB.

Abstract: The affected entities are subject to the General Provisions of the NESHAP at 40 CFR part 63, subpart A, and any changes, or additions to the General Provisions specified at 40 CFR part 63, subpart XXXXXX.

These regulations apply to owners or operators of any existing or new metal fabrication and finishing facility that is
an area source of hazardous air pollutants (HAP) emissions and uses or has the potential to emit metal fabrication or finishing metal HAP (MFHAP), defined to be the compounds of cadmium, chromium, lead, manganese, and nickel, or any of these
metals in the elemental form with the exception of lead.

Owners or operators of the affected
facilities must submit initial notification, annual compliance certifications (which include annual reports of exceedences if any have occurred.) Owners or operators 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. Reports, at a minimum, are required semiannually.

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 XXXXXX, 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.

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.

Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for
this collection of information is estimated to average 11 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: Owners or operators of nine metal fabrication and finishing area sources.

Estimated Number of Respondents:
1,933.

Frequency of Response: Initially, occasionally, and annually.

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:
20,562.

Estimated Total Annual Cost: $1,972,260, which includes $1,972,260 in labor costs; there are no capital/ startup or operating and maintenance

costs.

Changes in the Estimates: There is an increase in the total costs as currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved Burdens. This increase is not due to any program changes. The change in the cost estimates occurred due to the most updated labor rates for both respondents and the Agency. Despite the increase in burden costs,
there is a decrease in the labor hours in this ICR compared to the previous ICR
due to a mathematical error in


### 24705 Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 80 / Wednesday, April 25, 2012 / Notices

determining the person-hours per respondent.
