Abstract: Owners and operators of 

affected facilities are required to comply 

with reporting and record keeping 

requirements for the general provisions 

of 40 CFR part 60, subpart A, as well as 

for the specific requirements at 40 CFR 

part 60, subpart K. This includes 

submitting initial notifications and 

maintaining 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 reports are used by 

EPA to determine compliance with the 

standards. 

Form Numbers: None. 

Respondents/affected entities: 

Facilities with petroleum liquids storage 

vessels. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Mandatory (40 CFR part 60 Subpart K). 

Estimated number of respondents: 69 

(total). 

Frequency of response: Initially and 

occasionally. 

Total estimated burden: 321 hours 

(per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 

1320.3(b). 

Total estimated cost: $32,200 (per 

year), which includes $0 for both 

annualized capital/startup and 

operation & maintenance costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is a 

substantial decrease in burden from the 

previous ICR due to a decrease in the 

number of sources. Many storage vessels 

have been modified and become subject 

to Subpart Kb. Based on information 

obtained from the Agency’s 2011 

Petroleum Refinery ICR, the number of 

facilities subject to this regulation has 

decreased from 220 to 69. The update in 

source count results in a decrease in the 

labor hours, labor costs, and number of 

responses.

Abstract: Owners and operators of 

affected facilities are required to comply 

with reporting and record keeping 

requirements for the general provisions 

of 40 CFR part 63, subpart A, as well as 

for the specific requirements at 40 CFR 

part 63, subpart RRRRR. This includes 

submitting initial notifications, 

performance tests and periodic reports 

and results, and maintaining 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 reports are 

used by EPA to determine compliance 

with the standards. 

Form Numbers: None. 

Respondents/affected entities: 

Taconite iron ore processing plants. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Mandatory (40 CFR part 63, subpart 

RRRRR). 

Estimated number of respondents: 4 

(total). 

Frequency of response: Initially and 

semiannually. 

Total estimated burden: 276 hours 

(per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 

1320.3(b). 

Total estimated cost: $326,000 (per 

year), which includes $298,000 in either 

annualized capital/startup or operation 

& maintenance costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is an 

adjustment decrease in the respondent 

labor hours and the number of 

responses as currently identified in the 

OMB Inventory of Approved Burdens. 

The decrease is due to a decline in the 

number of respondents. The previous 

ICR estimated eight facilities; however, 

recent industry information indicates 

that only half of these facilities are now 

in operation. 

There is, however, an adjustment 

increase in the respondent O&M costs. 

There is not an actual increase in cost;

Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 82 / Thursday, April 28, 2016 / Notices 25397 

rather, the increases occurred because 

this ICR accounts for contractor costs 

associated with Method 5 PM tests as an 

O&M cost, while the previous ICR 

accounted for this cost as a labor cost.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In 

accordance with regulations at 40 CFR 

part 53, the EPA evaluates various 

methods for monitoring the 

concentrations of those ambient air 

pollutants for which EPA has 

established National Ambient Air 

Quality Standards (NAAQSs) as set 

forth in 40 CFR part 50. Monitoring 

methods that are determined to meet 

specific requirements for adequacy are 

designated by the EPA as either 

reference or equivalent methods (as 

applicable), thereby permitting their use 

under 40 CFR part 58 by States and 

other agencies for determining 

compliance with the NAAQSs. A list of 

all reference or equivalent methods that 

have been previously designated by EPA 

may be found at http://www.epa.gov/

ttn/amtic/criteria.html. 

The EPA hereby announces the 

designation of one new reference 

method for measuring pollutant 

concentrations of PM10, one new 

reference method for measuring 

pollutant concentrations of PM10-2.5, one 

for measuring ozone (O3), and three new 

equivalent methods for measuring 

pollutant concentrations of PM2.5 in the 

ambient air. These designations are 

made under the provisions of 40 CFR 

part 53, as amended on October 26, 

2015 (80 FR 65291–65468). 

The new reference method for O3 is 

an automated method that utilizes a 

measurement principle based on nondispersive ultraviolet absorption 

photometry. The newly designated 

reference method for O3 is identified as 

follows: 

RFOA–0216–230, ‘‘Teledyne Advanced 

Pollution Instrumentation, Model 265E or
