7448 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 27 / Wednesday, February 9, 2022 / Notices 

The STAA awards are established to 

honor and recognize EPA employees 

who have made outstanding 

contributions in the advancement of 

science and technology through their 

research and development activities, as 

exhibited in publication of their results 

in peer reviewed journals. In conducting 

its review, the SAB considers each 

nomination in relation to the following 

four award levels: 

• Level I awards are for those who 

have accomplished an exceptionally 

high-quality research or technological 

effort. The awards recognize the 

creation or general revision of a 

scientific or technological principle or 

procedure, or a highly significant 

improvement in the value of a device, 

activity, program, or service to the 

public. Awarded research is of national 

significance or has high impact on a 

broad area of science/technology. The 

research has far reaching consequences 

and is recognizable as a major scientific/ 

technological achievement within its 

discipline or field of study. 

• Level II awards are for those who 

have accomplished a notably excellent 

research or technological effort that has 

qualities and values similar to, but to a 

lesser degree, than those described 

under Level I. Awarded research has 

timely consequences and contributes as 

an important scientific/technological 

achievement within its discipline or 

field of study. 

• Level III awards are for those who 

have accomplished an unusually 

notable research or technological effort. 

The awards are for a substantial revision 

or modification of a scientific/ 

technological principle or procedure, or 

an important improvement to the value 

of a device, activity, program, or service 

to the public. Awarded research relates 

to a mission or organizational 

component of the EPA, or significantly 

affects a relevant area of science/ 

technology. 

• Honorable Mention awards 

acknowledge research efforts that are 

noteworthy but do not warrant a Level 

I, II or III award. Honorable Mention 

applies to research that: (1) May not 

quite reach the level described for a 

Level III award; (2) show a promising 

area of research that the STAA Panel 

wants to encourage; or (3) show an area 

of research that the STAA Panel feels is 

too preliminary to warrant an award 

recommendation at this time. 

The SAB reviews the STAA 

nomination packages according to the 

following five evaluation factors: 

• The extent to which the work 

reported in the nominated 

publication(s) resulted in either new or 

significantly revised knowledge. The 

accomplishment is expected to 

represent an important advancement of 

scientific knowledge or technology 

relevant to environmental issues and 

EPA’s mission. 

• The extent to which environmental 

protection has been strengthened or 

improved, whether of local, national, or 

international importance. 

• The degree to which the research is 

a product of the originality, 

creativeness, initiative, and problemsolving ability of the researchers, as well 

as the level of effort required to produce 

the results. 

• The extent of the beneficial impact 

of the research and the degree to which 

the research has been favorably 

recognized from outside EPA. 

• The nature and extent of peer 

review, including stature and quality of 

the peer-reviewed journal or the 

publisher of a book for a review chapter 

published therein. 

I have determined that the meetings of 

the STAA Panel and Chartered SAB will 

be closed to the public because they are 

concerned with selecting employees 

deserving of awards. In making these 

recommendations, the Agency requires 

full and frank advice from the SAB. This 

advice will involve professional 

judgments on the relative merits of 

various employees and their respective 

work. Such personnel matters involve 

the discussion of information that is of 

a personal nature and the disclosure of 

which would be a clearly unwarranted 

invasion of personal privacy and, 

therefore, are protected from disclosure 

by section 10(d) of the Federal Advisory 

Committee Act (FACA), 5 U.S.C. App. 2, 

and sections (c)(2) and (c)(6) of the 

Government in the Sunshine Act, 5 

U.S.C. 552b(c)(2) and (6). Minutes of the 

meetings of the STAA Panel and the 

Chartered SAB will be kept and certified 

by the chair of those meetings.

will be collecting, are available in the

Abstract: The National Emission 

Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants 

(NESHAP) for Printing, Coating and 

Dyeing of Fabrics and Other Textiles 

apply to each existing, new, or 

reconstructed source involved in 

printing, coating, slashing, dyeing or 

finishing of fabric and other textiles. In 

general, all NESHAP standards require 

initial notifications, performance tests, 

and periodic reports by the owners/ 

operators of the affected facilities. They 

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. These 

notifications, reports, and records are 

essential in determining compliance 

with 40 CFR part 63, subpart OOOO. 

Form Numbers: 5900–530. 

Respondents/affected entities: 

Printing, coating, slashing, dyeing, or 

finishing of fabric and other textiles 

facilities. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Mandatory (40 CFR part 63, subpart 

OOOO). 

Estimated number of respondents: 44 

(total). 

Frequency of response: Initially and 

semiannually. 

Total estimated burden: 7,080 hours 

(per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 

1320.3(b). 

Total estimated cost: $960,000 (per 

year), which includes $123,000 in 

annualized capital/startup and/or 

operation & maintenance costs. 

Changes in the estimates: There is an 

increase in burden from the mostrecently approved ICR as currently 

identified in the OMB Inventory of 

Approved Burdens. This is due to three 

considerations. This ICR incorporates 

the incremental burden from the 2019 

RTR amendment (ICR No. 2071.09) into 

the total cost of the rule. The regulations 

were revised in the 2019 RTR 

amendment adding a requirement to 

periodically test add-on control devices, 

resulting in an increase in capital/ 

startup costs for this testing, as well as 

for increased labor burden for 

conducting the tests, submitting reports, 

and keeping records. An additional 

facility that is subject to this subpart 

was identified in a search of EPA’s 

ECHO database. This facility became 

subject to this subpart after the 2019 

RTR; therefore, the respondent counts in 

this ICR renewal are updated to include 

this facility.
