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.
