Abstract: Title V of the Clean Air Act 

(Act) requires states to develop and 

implement a program for issuing 

operating permits to all sources that fall 

under any Act definition of ‘‘major’’ and 

certain other non-major sources that are 

subject to federal air quality regulations. 

The Act further requires the EPA to 

develop regulations that establish the 

minimum requirements for those state 

operating permits programs and to 

oversee implementation of the state 

programs. The EPA regulations setting 

forth requirements for the state 

operating permit program are found at 

40 CFR part 70. The part 70 program is 

designed to be implemented primarily 

by state, local and tribal permitting 

authorities in all areas where they have 

jurisdiction. 

In order to receive an operating 

permit for a major or other source 

subject to the permitting program, the 

applicant must conduct the necessary 

research, perform the appropriate 

analyses and prepare the permit 

application with documentation to 

demonstrate that its facility meets all 

applicable statutory and regulatory 

requirements. Specific activities and 

requirements are listed and described in 

the Supporting Statement for the 40 CFR 

part 70 ICR. 

Under 40 CFR part 70, state, local and 

tribal permitting authorities review 

permit applications, provide for public 

review of proposed permits, issue 

permits based on consideration of all 

technical factors and public input and 

review information submittals required 

of sources during the term of the permit. 

Also, under 40 CFR part 70, the EPA 

reviews certain actions of the permitting 

authorities and provides oversight of the 

programs to ensure that they are being 

adequately implemented and enforced. 

Consequently, information prepared and 

submitted by sources is essential for 

sources to receive permits, and for 

federal, state, local and tribal permitting 

authorities to adequately review the 

permit applications and thereby 

properly administer and manage the 

program. 

Information that is collected is 

handled according to the EPA’s policies 

set forth in title 40, chapter 1, part 2, 

subpart B—Confidentiality of Business 

Information (see 40 CFR part 2). See also 

section 114(c) of the Act. 

Form Numbers: None. 

Respondents/affected entities: 

Industrial plants (sources); state, local 

and tribal permitting authorities. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Mandatory (see 40 CFR part 70). 

Estimated number of respondents: 

14,201 sources and 117 state, local and 

tribal permitting authorities. 

Frequency of response: On occasion. 

Total estimated burden: 4,756,110 

hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 

CFR 1320.03(b). 

Total estimated cost: $345,079,951 

(per year). There are no annualized 

capital or operation & maintenance 

costs.

17084 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 58 / Friday, March 25, 2022 / Notices 

Changes in Estimates: There is an 

increase of 17,186 hours per year for the 

estimated respondent burden compared 

with the ICR currently approved by 

OMB. This increase is due to updated 

estimates of the number of sources and 

permits subject to the part 70 program, 

rather than any change in federal 

mandates.

Abstract: On December 15, 1989, 

pursuant to Section 112 of the Clean Air 

Act as amended in 1977 (42 U.S.C. 

1857), the Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) promulgated National 

Emission Standards for Hazardous Air 

Pollutants (NESHAP) regulations to 

control radionuclide emissions from 

several source categories. The 

regulations are codified at 40 CFR part 

61. Of the eight subparts (B, H, I, K, Q, 

R, T and W) included in the 1989 rule, 

as currently amended, four apply to 

privately-operated facilities. In addition 

to requiring operational practices that 

limit emissions, subparts B, K, R, and W 

impose radionuclide dose and/or 

emission limits, respectively, to 

underground uranium mines, elemental 

phosphorous plants, phosphogypsum 

stacks, and uranium mill tailings 

impoundments. Facilities must inspect 

impoundments, measure radionuclide 

emissions, perform analyses or 

calculations per EPA procedures, and 

report the results to the EPA. 

Information collected is used by the 

EPA to ensure that public health and the 

environment continue to be protected 

from the hazards of airborne 

radionuclides by compliance with these 

standards. Compliance is demonstrated 

through emissions testing and dose 

calculation when appropriate.
