38398 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 123 / Tuesday, June 28, 2022 / Notices 

Elimination System (NPDES) permits 

under section 402 of the Clean Water 

Act, certain research and development 

projects, the EPA actions involving 

renovations or new construction of EPA 

facilities, and certain grants awarded for 

projects authorized by Congress through 

the agency’s annual appropriations act. 

The EPA is collecting information from 

certain applicants as part of the process 

of complying with either NEPA or 

Executive Order 12114 (‘‘Environmental 

Effects Abroad of Major Federal 

Actions’’). The EPA’s NEPA regulations 

apply to actions of the EPA that are 

subject to NEPA in order to ensure that 

environmental information is available 

to the agency’s decision-makers and the 

public before decisions are made and 

before actions are taken. When the EPA 

conducts an environmental assessment 

pursuant to its Executive Order 12114 

procedures, the agency generally 

follows its NEPA procedures. 

Compliance with the procedures is the 

responsibility of the EPA’s Responsible 

Officials, and for applicant proposed 

actions, applicants may be required to 

provide environmental information to 

the EPA as part of the environmental 

review process. For this ICR, applicantproposed projects subject to either 

NEPA or Executive Order 12114 (and 

that are not addressed in other EPA 

programs’ ICRs) are addressed through 

the NEPA process. 

Form Numbers: None. 

Respondents/affected entities: Entities 

potentially affected by this action are 

certain grant or permit applicants who 

must submit environmental information 

documentation to the EPA for their 

projects to comply with NEPA or 

Executive Order 12114, including 

Wastewater Treatment Construction 

Grants Program facilities funded under 

section 201 of the Clean Water Act, 

State and Tribal Assistance Grant 

recipients, and new source NPDES 

permittees. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Voluntary. 

Estimated number of respondents: 

516 (total). 

Frequency of response: On occasion. 

Total estimated burden: 27,004 hours 

(per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 

1320.03(b). 

Total estimated cost: $2,290,209 (per 

year), includes $0 annualized capital or 

operation & maintenance costs. 

Changes in Estimates: There is an 

increase of 19,444 hours in the total 

estimated respondent burden compared 

with the ICR currently approved by 

OMB. This increase is due to an 

adjustment change in the size of the 

respondent universe due to the return of 

congressional earmarks in the EPA 

annual appropriations act. 

Dated: June 23, 2022.

Director, Office of Federal Activities.

Abstract: The National Emission 

Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants 

(NESHAP) for Taconite Iron Ore 

Processing (40 CFR part 63, subpart 

RRRRR), were proposed on December 

18, 2002; promulgated on October 30, 

2003; and most-recently amended on 

both July 28, 2020 and November 19, 

2020. These regulations apply to 

existing facilities and new taconite iron 

ore processing facilities that emit or 

have the potential to emit a single 

hazardous air pollutant (HAP) at a rate 

of 10 tons or more per year or any 

combination of HAPs at a rate of 25 tons 

or more per year. The affected sources 

are ore crushing and handling 

operations, ore dryers, indurating 

furnaces, finished pellet handling 

emission units, and fugitive dust 

emissions. New facilities include those 

that commenced construction or 

reconstruction after the date of proposal. 

This information is being collected to 

assure compliance with 40 CFR part 63, 

subpart RRRRR. 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 


khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 123 / Tuesday, June 28, 2022 / Notices 38399 

inoperative. These notifications, reports, 

and records are essential in determining 

compliance, and are required of all 

affected facilities subject to NESHAP. 

Form Numbers: 5900–576. 

Respondents/affected entities: 

Taconite iron ore processing facilities. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Mandatory (40 CFR part 63, subpart 

RRRRR). 

Estimated number of respondents: 8 

(total). 

Frequency of response: Initially, 

occasionally, and semiannually. 

Total estimated burden: 1,230 hours 

(per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 

1320.3(b). 

Total estimated cost: $584,000 (per 

year), which includes $0 in annualized 

capital/startup and/or operation & 

maintenance costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is an 

adjustment increase in the total 

estimated burden as currently identified 

in the OMB Inventory of Approved 

Burdens. This increase is not due to any 

program changes. The change in the 

burden and cost estimates is due to a 

correction of the number of respondents 

per year performing Method 5 

performance tests to be consistent with 

the number of respondents estimated to 

provide notifications of performance 

tests and report performance test results. 

This ICR adjusts the number of 

respondents conducting performance 

tests in each year from 2.7 per year to 

8 per year, which increases the annual 

burden by approximately 300 hours. 

There is no change in the capital/startup 

vs. operation and maintenance (O&M) 

costs as calculated in section 6(b)(iii) 

compared with the costs in the previous 

ICR.

Abstract: This is an extension of the 

current Information Collection Request 

(ICR) for the Diesel Emissions Reduction 

Act program (DERA) authorized by Title 

VII, Subtitle G (Sections 791 to 797) of 

the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (Pub. L. 

109–58), as amended by the Diesel 

Emissions Reduction Act of 2010 (Pub. 

L. 111–364) and Division S (Section 

101) of the Consolidated Appropriations 

Act, 2021 (Pub. L. 116–260), codified at 

42 U.S.C. 16131 et seq. DERA provides 

the Environmental Protection Agency 

(EPA) with the authority to award 

grants, rebates or low-cost revolving 

loans on a competitive basis to eligible 

entities to fund the costs of projects that 

significantly reduce diesel emissions 

from mobile sources through 

implementation of a certified engine 

configuration, verified technology, or 

emerging technology. Eligible mobile 

sources include buses (including school 

buses), medium heavy-duty or heavy 

heavy-duty diesel trucks, marine 

engines, locomotives, or nonroad 

engines or diesel vehicles or equipment 

used in construction, handling of cargo 

(including at ports or airports), 

agriculture, mining, or energy 

production. In addition, eligible entities 

may also use funds awarded for 

programs or projects to reduce longduration idling using verified 

technology involving a vehicle or 

equipment described above. The 

objective of the assistance under this 

program is to achieve significant 

reductions in diesel emissions in terms 

of tons of pollution produced and 

reductions in diesel emissions exposure, 

particularly from fleets operating in 

areas designated by the Administrator as 

poor air quality areas. EPA uses 

approved procedures and forms to 

collect necessary information to operate 

its grant and rebate programs. EPA has 

been providing rebates under DERA 

since Fiscal Year 2012. EPA is 

requesting an extension of the current 

ICR, which is approved through June 30, 

2022, for forms needed to collect 

necessary information to operate a 

rebate program as authorized by 

Congress under the DERA program. 

As part of this extension, EPA is 

revising the ICR to address the needs of 

the Clean School Bus (CSB) Program. 

This program is authorized by Title XI, 

Section 71101 of the Infrastructure 

Investment and Jobs Act (Pub. L. 117– 

58). The new program, like DERA,
