impracticable to raise these issues 

during the comment period or the 

grounds for the issues arose after this 

period. Pursuant to sections 307(b) and 

505(b)(2) of the CAA, a petition for 

judicial review of those parts of the 

Order that deny issues in the petition 

may be filed in the United States Court 

of Appeals for the appropriate circuit 

within 60 days from the date this notice 

is published in the Federal Register. 

Petitioners submitted a petition 

requesting that EPA object to proposed 

CAA title V operating permit number 

503–1001 issued by ADEM to the Barry 

Generating Plant for the following 

reasons: the permit contained limits 

with the potential to exceed the 

National Ambient Air Quality Standard 

for sulfur dioxide, including 

inappropriate averaging limits for SO2, 

in contravention of applicable state 

implementation plan (SIP) provisions; 

the permit failed to include applicable 

SIP requirements to control fugitive 

emissions from the coal handling 

system and to ensure compliance with 

SIP opacity limit, including associated 

monitoring, recordkeeping, and 

reporting; the permit failed to include 

emission controls and work practice 

standards for the coal handling 

operations and ADEM failed to require 

that Alabama Power Company disclose 

all fugitive emissions from the coal 

handling system; ADEM failed to 

determine compliance of the facility; 

ADEM failed to require complete and 

accurate compliance certifications from 

Alabama Power Company in accordance 

with part 70; Alabama Power Company 

failed to include all applicable 

requirements in the application for a 

title V permit; and ADEM failed to 

provide a basis for granting a permit 

shield to the entire facility. 

On June 14, 2022, the Administrator 

issued an Order granting in part and 

denying in part the petition. The Order 

explains EPA’s bases for granting in part 

and denying in part the petition.

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

the PRA (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), 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. If 

approved by OMB, renewals are 

typically granted a three-year extension. 

Abstract: With limited exceptions, 

ocean dumping—the transportation of 

any material for the purpose of dumping 

material in ocean waters—is prohibited 

except in compliance with a permit 

issued under the Marine Protection, 

Research, and Sanctuaries Act 

(MPRSA). EPA is responsible for issuing 

ocean dumping permits for all materials 

except dredged material. The U.S. Army 

Corps of Engineers (USACE) is 

responsible for issuing ocean dumping 

permits for dredged material using 

EPA’s environmental criteria, though for 

federal projects, the USACE may apply 

the environmental criteria directly in 

lieu of the permit process. All ocean 

dumping permits and federal projects 

involving ocean dumping of dredged 

material are subject to EPA review and 

concurrence. EPA is also responsible for 

designating and managing ocean sites 

for the disposal of materials and 

establishing Site Management and 

Monitoring Plans for ocean disposal 

sites. EPA collects or sponsors the 

collection of information for the 

purposes of permit issuance, reporting

Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 133 / Wednesday, July 13, 2022 / Notices 41717 

of emergency dumping to safety of life 

at sea, compliance with permit 

requirements, including general permits 

for burial at sea, for transportation and 

disposal of vessels, and for ocean 

disposal of marine mammal carcasses. 

EPA collects this information to 

ensure that ocean dumping is 

appropriately regulated and will not 

harm human health and the marine 

environment, based on applying the 

Ocean Dumping Criteria. The Ocean 

Dumping Criteria consider, among other 

things: the environmental impact of the 

dumping; the need for the dumping; the 

effect of the dumping on esthetic, 

recreational, or economic values; landbased alternatives to ocean dumping; 

and the adverse effects of the dumping 

on other uses of the ocean. The Ocean 

Dumping Criteria are codified in 40 CFR 

parts 220 through 229. To meet U.S. 

reporting obligation under the London 

Convention, an international treaty on 

ocean dumping, EPA also reports some 

of this information in the annual United 

States Ocean Dumping Report. 

EPA uses ocean dumping information 

to make decisions regarding whether to 

issue, deny, or impose conditions on 

ocean dumping permits issued by EPA 

in order to ensure consistency with the 

Ocean Dumping Criteria. EPA uses 

monitoring and reporting data from 

permittees to assess compliance with 

ocean dumping permits, including 

associated monitoring activities. 

Form numbers: None. 

Respondents/affected entities: 

Respondents/affected entities may 

include any private person or entity, or 

state, local, or foreign governments. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Required to obtain or retain a benefit, 

specifically permit authorization and/or 

compliance with permits required under 

MPRSA sections 102 and 104, 33 U.S.C. 

1402 & 1404, and implementing 

regulations at 40 CFR parts 220 through 

229. 

Estimated number of respondents: 

2,488 respondents per year. 

Frequency of response: The frequency 

of response varies for application and 

reporting requirements for different 

permits. Other than the general permit 

for transportation and disposal of 

vessels, response is required once for 

each permit application, whether a 

single notification to EPA or a permit 

application. Depending on the type of 

MPRSA permit, a permit application 

would be required prior to expiration if 

the permittee seeks re-issuance: general 

permit (once every seven years), special 

permit (once every three years), and 

research permit (once every 18 months). 

Total estimated burden: The public 

reporting and recordkeeping burdens for 

this collection of information are 

estimated to be 3,298 hours per year. 

Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b). 

Total estimated cost: Annual costs are 

estimated to be $355,104, which 

includes $159,795 for labor and 

$195,309 for capital or operation & 

maintenance costs. 

Changes in Estimates: There is no 

significant increase in the burden. There 

is a decrease of 198 hours in the total 

estimated respondent burden compared 

with the ICR currently approved by 

OMB. This decrease is primarily due to 

a decrease in the average number of 

burial at sea activities reported over the 

last three years.
