ICR. Specifically, the previous ICR 

overestimated the frequency of burden 

activity associated with site-specific test 

plans and startup, shutdown, and 

malfunction plan reviews. The previous 

ICR also double-counted total labor 

costs associated with respondent 

reporting activities. These discrepancies 

resulted in the overestimation of 

respondent and Agency labor burdens. 

The revisions in this ICR address those 

discrepancies, and contribute directly to 

the observed decrease in respondent 

and Agency labor burdens and costs. 

There is an increase in labor rates for 

both the respondents and the Agency 

from the most- recently approved ICR. 

This ICR uses updated labor rates from 

the Bureau of Labor Statistics to 

calculate burden costs for respondents, 

and uses updated labor rates from OPM 

to calculate burden costs for the Agency.

Title: NSPS for Steel Plants: Electric 

Arc Furnaces and Argon Oxygen 

Decarburization Vessels (Renewal). 

ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 

1060.16, OMB Control Number 2060– 

0038. 

ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to 

expire on March 31, 2013. Under OMB 

regulations, the Agency may continue to 

either 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, 

subparts AA and AAa. 

Owners or operators of the affected 

facilities must submit initial notification 

report, 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. Reports, at a 

minimum, are required semiannually. 

Burden Statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average 308 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 operator of electric arc 

furnaces and argon oxygen 

decarburization vessels. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

98.7. 

Frequency of Response: Initially and 

semiannually. 

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 

61,310. 

Estimated Total Annual Cost: 

$6,137,827, which includes $5,936,587 

in labor costs, $5,490 in capital/startup 

costs, and $195,750 in operation and 

maintenance (O&M) costs.

Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 38 / Tuesday, February 26, 2013 / Notices 13053 

Changes in the Estimates: There is an 

increase in the total estimated burden as 

currently identified in the OMB 

Inventory of Approved Burdens. This 

increase is not due to any program 

changes. The increases in burden, 

including labor hours, labor costs, and 

O&M costs reflect an increase in the 

number of respondents. The new 

number of respondents accounts for the 

one new source that is subject to the 

rule since the last ICR period. In 

addition, this ICR uses updated labor 

rates to calculate burden costs, which 

results in an increase in labor costs for 

both the respondents and the Agency.

Abstract: Title II of the Clean Air Act 

(42 U.S.C. 7521 et seq.) (CAA) charges 

the Environmental Protection Agency 

(EPA) with issuing certificates of 

conformity for those engines that 

comply with applicable emission 

standards. Such a certificate must be 

issued before engines may be legally 

introduced into commerce. Under this 

ICR, EPA collects information necessary 

to (1) issue certificates of compliance 

with emission statements, and (2) verify 

compliance with various programs and 

regulatory provisions pertaining to 

locomotives, locomotive engines, and 

locomotive remanufacturing kits 

(collectively referred to here as 

‘‘engines’’ for simplicity). To apply for 

a certificate of conformity, 

manufacturers are required to submit 

descriptions of their planned 

production engines, including detailed 

descriptions of emission control systems 

and test data. This information is 

organized by ‘‘engine family’’ groups 

expected to have similar emission 

characteristics. There are also 

recordkeeping requirements. Those 

manufacturers electing to participate in 

the Averaging, Banking and Trading 

(AB&T) Program are also required to 

submit information regarding the 

calculation, actual generation and usage 

of credits in an initial report, end-of-theyear report and final report. These 

reports are used for certification and 

enforcement purposes. Manufacturers 

must maintain records for eight years on 

the engine families included in the 

AB&T Program. 

The CAA also mandates EPA to verify 

that manufacturers have successfully 

translated their certified prototypes into 

mass produced engines, and that these 

engines comply with emission 

standards throughout their useful lives. 

Under the Production Line Testing 

(PLT) Program, manufacturers are 

required to test a sample of engines as 

they leave the assembly line. This selfaudit program allows manufacturers to 

monitor compliance with statistical 

certainty and minimize the cost of 

correcting errors through early 

detection. A similar audit program 

exists for the installation of locomotive 

remanufacturing kits. In-use testing 

allows manufacturers and EPA to verify 

compliance with emission standards 

throughout the locomotive’s useful life. 

Through Selected Enforcement Audits 

(SEAs), EPA verifies that test data 

submitted by engine manufacturers is 

reliable and testing is performed 

according to EPA regulations. 

The information requested is 

collected by the Diesel Engine 

Compliance Center (DECC), Compliance 

Division (CD), Office of Transportation 

and Air Quality, Office of Air and 

Radiation, EPA. Besides DECC and CD, 

this information could be used by the 

Office of Enforcement and Compliance 

Assurance and the Department of Justice 

for enforcement purposes. Nonconfidential business information 

submitted by respondents to this 

information collection may be disclosed 

over the Internet. That information is 

used by trade associations, 

environmental groups, and the public. 

Under this ICR, most of the information 

is collected in electronic format and 

stored in CD’s databases. 

Confidential business information 

(CBI) is kept confidential in accordance 

with the Freedom of Information Act, 

EPA regulations at 40 CFR Part 2, and 

class determinations issued by EPA’s 

Office of General Counsel. Nonproprietary information submitted by 

manufacturers is held as confidential 

until the specific locomotive or 

locomotive engine to which it pertains 

is available for purchase.
