Title: NSPS for Nonmetallic Mineral 

Processing (Renewal). 

ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 

1084.12, OMB Control Number 2060– 

0050. 

ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to 

expire on June 30, 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 

NSPS at 40 CFR part 60, subpart A, and 

any changes, or additions to the 

Provisions specified at 40 CFR part 60, 

subpart OOO. 

These regulations apply to the 

following affected facilities in fixed or 

portable nonmetallic mineral processing 

plants: Each crusher, grinding mill, 

screening operation, bucket elevator, 

belt conveyor, bagging operation, 

storage bin, and enclosed truck or 

railcar loading station. These 

regulations also applies to, crushers and 

grinding mills at hot mix asphalt 

facilities that reduce the size of 

nonmetallic minerals embedded in 

recycled asphalt pavement and 

subsequent affected facilities up to, but 

not including, the first storage silo or 

bin are subject to the provisions of the 

subpart. 

Owners or operators of the affected 

facilities must submit initial 

notification, performance tests, and 

periodic reports and results. 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. 

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 60, subpart OOO, 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 2 hours per 

response. ‘‘Burden’’ means the total 

time, effort, or financial resources 

expended by persons to generate, 

maintain, retain, or disclose or provide 

information either 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 nonmetallic 

mineral processing facilities 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

4,697. 

Frequency of Response: Initially and 

occasionally. 

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 

12,374. 

Estimated Total Annual Cost: 

$1,340,274, which includes $1,185,697 

in labor costs, $154,577 in capital/ 

startup costs, and no operation and 

maintenance (O&M) costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is an 

increase in the labor hours for both the 

respondents and the Agency in this ICR 

compared to the previous ICR. This is 

due to two considerations. First, 

performance testing for existing sources 

will begin 5 years after the initial 

performance testing following the 2009 

ICR amendments, which corresponds to 

the third year of this renewal. Beginning 

in the third year of this ICR renewal, 

60.9 sources per year would conduct 5- 

year repeat fugitive Method 9 

performance tests. These tests are only 

required for crushed/broken stone and 

sand/gravel facilities that do not have 

water sprays. This yields an annual 

average of 20.3 sources requiring 

Method 9 performance tests over the 

next 3 years. Secondly, there is an 

increase in the total number of 

respondents subject to the rule due to a 

growth in the respondent universe. 

There is also an increase in the total 

labor and Agency costs as currently 

identified in the OMB Inventory of 

Approved Burdens. The change in cost 

estimates reflects the changes in 

respondent numbers (described above) 

and updated labor rates available from 

the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Title: Reporting Requirements under 

EPA’s Green Power Partnership and 

Combined Heat and Power (CHP) 

Partnership. 

ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 2173.05, 

OMB Control No. 2060–0578. 

ICR Status: This ICR currently is 

scheduled to expire on June 30, 2012. 

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 

EPA’s regulations in title 40 of the CFR, 

after appearing in the Federal Register 

when approved, are listed in 40 CFR 

part 9, are displayed either by 

publication in the Federal Register or 

by other appropriate means, such as on 

the related collection instrument or 

form, if applicable. The display of OMB 

control numbers in certain EPA 

regulations is consolidated in 40 CFR 

part 9. 

Abstract: In 2001, EPA launched two 

new partnership programs with industry 

and other stakeholders: the Green Power 

Partnership (GPP) and the Combined 

Heat and Power Partnership (CHPP). 

These voluntary partnership programs 

encourage organizations to invest in 

clean, efficient energy technologies, 

including renewable energy and 

combined heat and power. EPA collects 

information from GPP and CHPP 

Partners to assess the success of these 

programs in achieving their national 

energy and greenhouse gas (GHG) 

reduction goals. 

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 GPP or CHPP liaison and 

filling out a Partnership Agreement or 

Letter of Intent, respectively, (2) for the 

GPP, reporting to EPA on an annual 

basis their progress toward achieving 

their green power commitment via a 3- 

page reporting form; (3) for the CHPP, 

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). Partners are organizational 

entities that have volunteered to 

participate in either Partnership 

program. 

Burden Statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to equal 2 hours per response. 

The average number of annual burden 

hours per type of response is: 1.96 hours 

for a Partnership Agreement (a one-time 

burden for GPP Partners), 2.14 hours for 

a Letter of Intent (a one-time burden for 

CHPP Partners), 1.38 hours for the 

Partner Yearly Report for the GPP, and 

3.51 hours for the Partner Yearly Report 

for the CHPP. 

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 subsequently have 

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: 

Organizations participating in the Green 

Power Partnership and Combined Heat 

and Power Partnership. 

Estimated Total Annual Number of 

Respondents: 2,216. 

Frequency of Response: annually, on 

occasion, and one time. 

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 

4,800. 

Estimated Total Annual Cost: 

$256,053, which includes no capital 

costs, $6,744 in operations & 

maintenance (O&M) costs, and $249,309 

in labor costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is a 

decrease of 1,023 hours in the total 

estimated burden currently identified in 

the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR 

Burdens. 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 decreased from 3.24 to 

2.17 hours, while the total cost 

decreased due to a downward correction 

of the labor rates used to calculate 

respondent costs and a reduction in 

hours per response.
