issue a Notice of Schedule for 

Environmental Review. If a Notice of 

Schedule for Environmental Review is

milestones, the anticipated date for the 

Commission staff’s issuance of the final 

environmental impact statement (FEIS) 

or EA for this proposal. The filing of the 

EA in the Commission’s public record 

for this proceeding or the issuance of a 

Notice of Schedule for Environmental 

Review will serve to notify federal and

completion of all necessary reviews, and 

the subsequent need to complete all 

federal authorizations within 90 days of 

the date of issuance of the Commission 

staff’s FEIS or EA.

Proposed Information Collection 

Request; Comment Request; 

Implementation of the Oil Pollution Act 

Facility Response Plan Requirements 

(Renewal) 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) is planning to submit an 

information collection request (ICR), 

‘‘Oil Pollution Act Facility Response 

Plans—40 CFR part 112.20’’ (EPA ICR 

No. 1630.12, OMB Control No. 2050– 

0135) to the Office of Management and 

Budget (OMB) for review and approval 

in accordance with the Paperwork 

Reduction Act (PRA). Before doing so, 

EPA is soliciting public comments on 

specific aspects of the proposed 

information collection as described 

below. This is a proposed extension of 

the ICR, which is currently approved 

through October 31, 2014. An Agency 

may not conduct or sponsor and a 

person is not required to respond to a 

collection of information unless it 

displays a currently valid OMB control 

number. 

DATES: Comments must be submitted on 

or before September 30, 2014. 

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, 

referencing Docket ID No. EPA–HQ– 

OPA–2014–0445 referencing the Docket 

ID numbers provided for each item in 

the text, online using 

www.regulations.gov (our preferred 

method), by email to swackhammer.jtroy@epa.gov, or by mail to: EPA Docket 

Center, Environmental Protection 

Agency, Mail Code 28221T, 1200 

Pennsylvania Ave. NW., Washington, 

DC 20460. 

The EPA’s policy is that all comments 

received will be included in the public 

docket without change including any 

personal information provided, unless 

the comment includes profanity, threats, 

information claimed to be Confidential 

Business Information (CBI) or other 

information whose disclosure is 

restricted by statute.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Supporting documents which explain in 

detail the information that the EPA will 

be collecting are available in the public 

docket for this ICR. The docket can be 

viewed online at www.regulations.gov 

or in person at the EPA Docket Center, 

WJC West, Room 3334, 1301 

Constitution Ave. NW., Washington, 

DC. The telephone number for the 

Docket Center is 202–566–1744. For 

additional information about EPA’s 

public docket, visit http://www.epa.gov/ 

dockets. 

Pursuant to section 3506(c)(2)(A) of 

the PRA, EPA is soliciting comments 

and information to enable it to: (i) 

Evaluate whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of the Agency, including 

whether the information will have 

practical utility; (ii) evaluate the 

accuracy of the Agency’s estimate of the 

burden of the proposed collection of 

information, including the validity of 

the methodology and assumptions used; 

(iii) enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; and (iv) minimize the burden 

of the collection of information on those 

who are to respond, including through 

the use of appropriate automated 

electronic, mechanical, or other 

technological collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology, 

e.g., permitting electronic submission of 

responses. EPA will consider the 

comments received and amend the ICR 

as appropriate. The final ICR package 

will then be submitted to OMB for 

review and approval. At that time, EPA 

will issue another Federal Register 

notice to announce the submission of 

the ICR to OMB and the opportunity to 

submit additional comments to OMB. 

Abstract: The authority for EPA’s 

facility response plan (FRP) 

requirements is derived from section 

311(j)(5) of the Clean Water Act, as 

amended by the Oil Pollution Act of 

1990. EPA’s regulation is codified at 40 

CFR 112.20 and 112.21 and related 

appendices. All FRP reporting and 

recordkeeping activities are mandatory. 

This information collection request 

renewal has not substantively changed 

from the last ICR approval (October 25, 

2011). The purpose of an FRP is to help 

an owner or operator identify the 


tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 148 / Friday, August 1, 2014 / Notices 44769 

necessary resources to respond to an oil 

spill in a timely manner. If implemented 

effectively, the FRP will reduce the 

impact and severity of oil spills and 

may prevent spills because of the 

identification of risks at the facility. 

Although the owner or operator is the 

primary data user, EPA also uses the 

data in certain situations to ensure that 

facilities comply with the regulation 

and to help allocate response resources. 

State and local governments may use 

the data, which are not generally 

available elsewhere and can greatly 

assist local emergency preparedness 

planning efforts. The EPA reviews all 

submitted FRPs and must approve FRPs 

for those facilities whose discharges 

may cause significant and substantial 

harm to the environment in order to 

ensure that facilities believed to pose 

the highest risk have planned for 

adequate resources and procedures to 

respond to a spill. (See 40 CFR 

112.20(f)(3) for further information 

about the criteria for significant and 

substantial harm.) None of the 

information collected under the FRP 

rule is believed to be confidential. One 

of the criteria necessary for information 

to be classified as confidential (40 CFR 

2.208) is that a business must show that 

it has previously taken reasonable 

measures to protect the confidentiality 

of the information and that it intends to 

continue to take such measures. The 

EPA has provided no assurances of 

confidentiality to facility owners or 

operators when they file their FRPs. 

Form Numbers: None. 

Respondents/affected entities: Entities 

potentially affected by this action are 

the owner or operator of a facility that 

is required to have a spill prevention, 

control, and countermeasure (SPCC) 

plan under the Oil Pollution Prevention 

regulation (40 CFR part 112) and that 

could cause substantial harm to the 

environment must prepare and submit 

to EPA an FRP. The criteria for a 

substantial harm facility include: (1) 

The facility transfers oil over water to or 

from a vessel and has a total storage 

capacity of greater than or equal to 

42,000 gallons; or (2) the facility’s total 

oil storage capacity is greater than or 

equal to one million gallons and one or 

more of the following harm factors are 

met: Insufficient secondary 

containment; proximity to fish and 

wildlife and sensitive environments; a 

discharge of oil could shut down a 

drinking water intake; the facility 

experienced a reportable oil discharge of 

10,000 gallons or more in last 5 years; 

or other factors considered by the 

Regional Administrator. (See 40 CFR 

112.20(b)(1) and (f) for further 

information about the criteria for 

substantial harm.) 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Mandatory under section 311(j)(5) of the 

Clean Water Act, as amended by the Oil 

Pollution Act of 1990. 

Estimated number of respondents: 

22,966 (total). 

Frequency of response: Less than once 

per year. 

Total estimated burden: 455,743 

hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 

CFR 1320.03(b). 

Total estimated cost (with overhead): 

$17,630,700 (per year), includes $14,763 

annualized capital or operation & 

maintenance costs. 

Changes in estimates: The EPA 

estimates that there is slight reduction 

in the hours of total estimated 

respondent burden (approximate 

reduction of 7,676 hours) compared 

with the ICR currently approved by 

OMB. This estimate is based on EPA’s 

current inventory of facilities that have 

submitted and are maintaining an FRP 

as per 40 CFR part 112 versus the 

projected inventory. The EPA has not 

amended the FRP regulation since the 

last ICR renewal that would affect the 

per-facility burden. The EPA will 

consider the comments received and 

amend the ICR as appropriate.
