Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 162 / Thursday, August 21, 2014 / Notices 49513 

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA 

or the Agency) on a cyclic basis via 

input to the Air Facility System (AFS), 

until mid October 2014, and via input 

to the modernized AFS—the Air 

component of the Integrated 

Compliance Information System (ICISAir), from late October 2014 forward. 

The Agency, with support from state 

and local agencies, is nearing 

completion of the modernization of AFS 

into ICIS-Air. The planned date of the 

implementation of ICIS-Air is October 

27, 2014. 

ICIS-Air supports EPA and state and 

local agency efforts to ensure 

compliance with the nation’s 

environmental laws pertaining to air, 

via the collection and management of 

important Clean Air Act (CAA or the 

‘‘Act’’) compliance and enforcement 

information. The information to be 

provided to EPA via ICIS-Air includes 

source characterization, compliance 

monitoring, and enforcement activities. 

EPA will use this information to assess 

progress toward meeting emission 

requirements developed under the 

authority of the CAA, and to protect and 

maintain air quality, public health, and 

the environment. Agencies receive 

delegation of the CAA through regulated 

grant authorities, and report 

compliance/enforcement activities 

undertaken at stationary sources 

pursuant to the Minimum Data 

Requirements (MDRs) as outlined in this 

ICR. The provisions of Section 114(a)(1) 

of the Clean Air Act, 42 U.S.C. Section 

7414(a)(1) provide the broad authority 

for the reporting of compliance 

monitoring and enforcement 

information, along with Subpart QReports in 40 CFR 51: Sections 51.324(a) 

and (b), and 51.327. This renewal 

requires the continuation of reporting of 

previously established MDRs via a new 

information system solution—ICIS-Air 

instead of AFS. Since AFS will be 

replaced by ICIS-Air prior to the official 

renewal of this ICR, we are including in 

the Supporting Statement a crosswalk 

between the MDRs expressed as the 

current AFS data elements and as the 

new ICIS-Air data elements. 

Are there changes in the estimates from 

the last approval? 

The current EPA database for which 

these data are reported (i.e., AFS) will 

not exist at the time of this ICR renewal; 

therefore, EPA will not perform a new 

burden estimate based on reporting to 

AFS. Since the new, replacement 

system, ICIS-Air, is not yet implemented 

in a production environment, we cannot 

use the new system to develop a new 

burden estimate for future reporting to 

ICIS-Air at the current time. EPA will 

estimate burden in the Federal Register 

notice with the ICR to the best of its 

ability and will take comment on those 

estimates. 

While transition to the new ICIS-Air 

system will require some investment at 

the federal, state and local levels, EPA 

believes that by providing a modern and 

more capable information system, states 

and locals as a group will experience a 

significant overall reduction in 

reporting burden. This will occur for 

states/locals that are direct users, as 

well as for those using electronic data 

transfer (EDT) to report MDRs to ICISAir. In addition to the anticipated 

burden reduction associated with 

completion of AFS modernization to 

ICIS-Air, EPA is nearing completion of 

two major policy revisions—the High 

Priority Violations (HPV) and Federally 

Reportable Violations (FRV) policies— 

that will result in a narrowing of the 

scope of CAA enforcement and 

compliance reporting as compared to 

the previous ICR renewal cycle. These 

policy revisions will result in additional 

burden reduction for state and local 

agencies. 

EPA does anticipate that operational 

and maintenance costs associated with 

state and local agency reporting will 

increase modestly due to inflationary 

pressures (e.g., increased hourly 

resource costs for management, 

professional, and related occupational 

groups). The labor rates used in the ICR 

estimates will be taken from the 

Department of Labor Employment 

Compensation and Costs (ECEC) Web 

site. These changes will be reflected in 

the final supporting statement for this 

ICR. 

What is the next step in the process for 

this ICR? 

EPA will consider the comments 

received and amend the ICR as 

appropriate. The final ICR package will 

be submitted by EPA to OMB for review 

and approval pursuant to 5 CFR 

1320.12. At that time, EPA will issue 

another Federal Register notice 

pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.5(a)(1)(iv) to 

announce the submission of the ICR to 

OMB, and a second opportunity to 

submit additional comments to OMB. If 

you have any questions about this ICR, 

or the approval process, please contact

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 specified 

at 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart YYYYY. 

Owners or operators of the affected 

facilities must submit a one-time-only 

report of any physical or operational 

changes, initial 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 addressing (1) the 

number of mercury switches removed or 

the weight of mercury recovered from 

the switches and properly managed, the 

estimated number of vehicles processed, 

an estimate of the percent of mercury 

switches recovered, and a certification 

that the recovered mercury switches 

were recycled at RCRA-permitted 

facilities, and (2) the control of 

contaminants from scrap according to 

the requirements in § 63.10(e) are 

required semiannually. 

Form Numbers: None. 

Respondents/affected entities: 

Owners or operators of electric arc 

furnace steelmaking facilities. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Mandatory (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart 

YYYYY). 

Estimated number of respondents: 87 

(total). 

Frequency of response: Initially, 

semiannually and occasionally. 

Total estimated burden: 1,417 hours 

(per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 

1320.3(b). 

Total estimated cost: $136,341 (per 

year), includes no annualized capital or 

operation & maintenance costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is a 

decrease in the respondent burden and 

an increase in Agency burden. These 

changes occurred due to the following 

adjustment: (1) This ICR revises the 

number of respondents from 91 to 87 

based on input provided from industry 

trade association; and (2) This ICR 

corrects the frequency of semiannual 

report review from one to two in Table 

2. This correction results in an increase 

in the estimated Agency burden.

Proposed Windfall Lien Settlement 

Agreement, Eaton Sugar Beet Factory 

Superfund Site, Eaton, Colorado 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency. 

ACTION: Notice of proposed agreement; 

request for public comment. 

SUMMARY: In accordance with the 

requirements of section 122(h)(1) of the 

Comprehensive Environmental 

Response Compensation, and Liability 

Act of 1980, as amended (‘‘CERCLA’’), 

42 U.S.C. 9622(h)(1), notice is hereby 

given of the proposed administrative 

settlement under section 107(r) of 

CERCLA, 42 U.S.C. 9607(r) between the 

U.S. Environmental Protection Agency 

(‘‘EPA’’) and the Town of Eaton, 

Colorado, (‘‘Settling Party’’). The 

Settling Party consents to and will not 

contest the authority of the United 

States to enter into this Agreement or to 

implement or enforce its terms. 

The Settling Party, qualifying as a 

bona fide prospective purchaser as 

provided for under CERCLA section 

107(r)(1), 42 U.S.C. 9607(4)(1), took title 

to the site of the abandoned Eaton Sugar 

Beet Factory in 2009 through the 

purchase of tax liens. The EPA 

conducted a time critical removal action 

to address asbestos contamination at the 

factory site from November of 2011 

through April of 2013. EPA now seeks 

to enter into a settlement agreement for 

the release of the windfall lien that 

arose as a result of the asbestos removal 

action. The value of a windfall lien is 

limited to the increase in the fair market 

value of the land that was cleaned up by 

EPA and is limited also by the amount 

of the EPA’s unrecovered response 

costs. The increased value of the land 

owned by the Settling Parties is 

$226,283.14. 

The Settling Parties recognize that 

this Agreement has been negotiated in 

good faith and that this Agreement is 

entered into without the admission or 

adjudication of any issue of fact or law. 

DATES: Comments must be submitted on 

or before September 22, 2014. For thirty 

(30) days following the date of 

publication of this document, the 

Agency will receive written comments 

relating to the agreement. The Agency 

will consider all comments received and 

may modify or withdraw its consent to 

the agreement if comments received 

disclose facts or considerations that 

indicate that the agreement is 

inappropriate, improper, or inadequate. 

ADDRESSES: The Agency’s response to 

any comments, the proposed agreement 

and additional background information 

relating to the agreement is available for 

public inspection at the EPA Superfund 

Record Center, 1595 Wynkoop Denver, 

Colorado. 

Comments and requests for a copy of 

the proposed agreement should be 

addressed to Maureen O’Reilly,
