impact associated with the use of 

cooling water intake structure(s). 

Burden Statement: The annual 

average reporting and recordkeeping 

burden for the existing collection of 

information by facilities responding to 

the Section 316(b) Phase III rule is 

estimated to be 921 hours per facility 

respondent (i.e., an annual average of 

34,080 hours of burden divided among 

an annual average of 37 facilities). 

Burden means the total time, effort, or 

financial resources expended by persons 

to generate, maintain, retain, or disclose 

or provide information to or for a 

Federal agency. This includes the time 

needed to review instructions; develop, 

acquire, install, and utilize technology 

and systems for the purposes of 

collecting, validating, and verifying 

information, processing and 

maintaining information, and disclosing 

and providing information; adjust the 

existing ways to comply with any 

previously applicable instructions and 

requirements which have subsequently 

changed; train personnel to be able to 

respond to a collection of information; 

search data sources; complete and 

review the collection of information; 

and transmit or otherwise disclose the 

information. 

The ICR provides a detailed 

explanation of the Agency’s estimate for 

the existing ICR, which is only briefly 

summarized here: 

Estimated total number of potential 

respondents: 37 facilities. 

Frequency of response: Every five 

years, ongoing. 

Estimated total average number of 

responses for each respondent: 4.2. 

Estimated total annual burden hours: 

34,080 hours. 

Estimated total annual costs: 

$2,433,612. This includes an estimated 

labor burden cost of $1,836,559 and an 

estimated cost of $597,053 for capital 

investment or operations and 

maintenance. 

Change in the Estimates: This ICR 

estimates an annual average respondent 

burden of 34,080 hours, which 

represents a 3-fold increase (22,842 

hours) in burden currently identified in 

the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR 

Burdens. The change in burden results 

mainly from the shift from the approval 

period to the permit implementation 

and renewal period of the Section 

316(b) Phase III rule. Because NPDES 

permits are issued every five years, this 

ICR covers the last two years of the 

initial permit approval period (i.e., years 

four and five after promulgation) and 

the first year of the renewal period (i.e., 

year six after promulgation). In this first 

year of the renewal period facilities will 

be applying for a permit for the first 

time or re-applying for permit coverage 

that was obtained during the three years 

covered by the previous ICR. The 

activities to renew an NPDES permit are 

assumed to be less burdensome than 

those for issuing a permit for the first 

time.

Notice of Upcoming Joint Rulemaking 

To Establish Vehicle GHG Emissions 

and CAFE Standards 

AGENCIES: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) and Department of 

Transportation (DOT). 

ACTION: Notice of Intent to conduct a 

joint rulemaking. 

SUMMARY: There is a critically important 

need for our country to address global 

climate change and to reduce oil 

consumption. In this context, EPA and 

DOT currently intend to work in 

coordination to propose standards for 

control of emissions of greenhouse gases 

and for fuel economy, respectively. If 

proposed and finalized, these standards 

would apply to passenger cars, lightduty trucks, and medium-duty 

passenger vehicles (light-duty vehicles) 

built in model years 2012 through 2016. 

Together, these vehicle categories, 

which include passenger cars, sport 

utility vehicles, minivans, and pickup 

trucks, are responsible for almost 60 

percent of all U.S. transportation-related 

greenhouse gas emissions. If ultimately 

adopted, these standards would 

represent a harmonized and consistent 

national policy pursuant to the separate 

statutory frameworks under which EPA 

and DOT operate. The approach 

addressed in this Notice, if ultimately 

adopted, is intended to allow 

manufacturers to build a single lightduty national fleet that would satisfy all 

requirements under both programs and 

would provide significant reductions in 

both greenhouse gas emissions and oil 

consumption.
