Proposed Information Collection Request Renewal for the Data Requirements Rule for the 1-Hour Sulfur Dioxide Primary National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) (Renewal)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EPA ICR #2495.05

PART A

1. Identification of the Information Collection

     	   	 (a) Title of the Information Collection

 "Data Requirements Rule for the 1-Hour Sulfur Dioxide Primary National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) - Renewal"

 	 (b) Short Characterization/Abstract

	This ICR includes estimates for collection of emissions and emissions-related information and ambient air dispersion modeling reporting and activities, associated with the 40 CFR part 51 Requirements for Preparation, Adoption and Submittal of Implementation Plans. These data and information are collected by various state and local air quality management agencies and reported to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). State and local air management agencies were required to submit either monitoring or modeling information in order to meet the initial and ongoing requirements, as applicable, under the final Data Requirements for the 2010 1-Hour Sulfur dioxide (SO2) Primary National Ambient Air Quality Standards rule ("SO2 Data Requirements Rule" or "DRR"). This ICR reflects revisions to the initial ICR and covers the period of Jan. 1, 2023  -  December 31, 2025. It includes estimates of the burden for state and local air agencies and for EPA associated with developing, submitting, and processing the information described for purposes of satisfying ongoing requirements under the SO2 Data Requirements Rule.

      The SO2 Data Requirements Rule directed state, local, and tribal air quality management agencies to provide data to initially characterize current air quality in areas with certain sources of SO2 emissions. The rule described the criteria for identifying and listing the source areas where air agencies needed to characterize SO2 air quality. The rule also requires states to continue to provide monitoring, modeling, and emissions data for a subset of these sources, that meet certain requirements under the rule, which may serve to inform an air agency's continued understanding of whether these areas meet the 2010 SO2 NAAQS. It describes the process and timetables by which air quality management agencies are required to characterize air quality in source areas through ambient monitoring and/or air quality modeling techniques and submit this data to EPA, both initially and for the ongoing requirements. The air quality data developed by the states in accordance with this rule have been and may be used in the future for designations, as well as other programs related to the 2010 SO2 NAAQS.

	More specifically, through the SO2 Data Requirements Rule and the original ICR, EPA required states to characterize ambient air quality around SO2 sources with emissions that were greater than 2,000 tons per year (tpy) or that were otherwise included as a listed source. Based upon 2011 emissions data, the initial action identified approximately 412 SO2 sources in 43 states. In the 2019 renewal of this ICR, EPA addressed ongoing requirements that (1) applied to air agencies that chose the monitoring pathway for characterizing air quality for certain sources, and 2) applied to air agencies that listed sources for which air agencies chose the modeling pathway and which were designated attainment/unclassifiable or unclassifiable/attainment based on air quality modeling of actual emissions. The original number of listed sources for which air agencies chose the monitoring pathway, and thus that are required to submit ongoing monitoring information, was 73 sources in 24 states (77 monitors total).

	In this ICR renewal, EPA is addressing ongoing requirements that apply to listed sources for which air agencies chose the modeling pathway and which were designated attainment/unclassifiable or unclassifiable/attainment based on air quality modeling of actual emissions. The number of listed sources for which air agencies chose the modeling pathway that are required to submit ongoing data reports, and, potentially, updated modeling, are 137 sources in 36 states.

      For those air quality management agencies that elected to conduct air quality modeling of the areas containing listed DRR sources to provide the necessary air quality data to EPA and which were designated either unclassifiable/attainment or attainment/unclassifiable based on modeling of actual emissions of the area, state and local air quality management agencies are responsible for submitting ongoing data reports. These reports are required to be submitted annually as either a stand-alone document made available for public inspection, or as an appendix to the air agency's Annual Monitoring Network Plan. The reports must: 1) include the annual SO2 emissions of each applicable source in each such area, 2) provide an assessment of the cause of any emissions increase from the previous year, and 3) include a recommendation from the air agency regarding whether additional modeling is needed to characterize air quality in the area to determine whether the area meets or does not meet the 2010 SO2 NAAQS. If EPA requires that the air agency conduct updated air quality modeling for the area, the air agency has 12 months to submit the updated modeling to EPA.

	The cost estimates included in this ICR renewal cover the total ongoing estimated costs for air agencies to provide these annual reports for emissions sources covered by the air quality modeling pathway. This ICR also includes upper bound cost estimates for the unlikely scenario where air agencies determined it was necessary to conduct additional modeling for all listed sources subject to the ongoing emissions reporting requirements.

      Air agencies that elected under Subpart BB of Part 51 to conduct ambient monitoring for listed DRR sources continue to be responsible for collecting ambient air quality data information, and submitting these data electronically to EPA's Air Quality System (AQS) and other voluntary databases. This information collection and the associated burden are captured under the Ambient Air Quality Surveillance 40 CFR Part 58 ICR (OMB #2060-0084, EPA ICR# 0940.29).  Currently, for those state and local air agencies that chose the monitoring pathway for specific sources and source areas, the DRR requires that ongoing monitoring meet the requirements in 40 CFR Part 58. While information collections associated with initial ambient air quality monitoring under Part 51 were included in the prior version of the DRR ICR, any collections associated with ongoing monitoring are now covered by the Part 58 ICR for ambient monitoring. Ongoing collections have been removed from the DRR ICR to avoid duplicative burden calculations.  Future renewals of the Part 58 ICR will continue to cover any collections of ongoing ambient air monitoring data that were initiated under Subpart BB of Part 51, as long as any of those monitors continues to operate.

2. Need for and Use of the Collection

	(a) Need/Authority for the Collection

      The information requirements included within this ICR are necessary to provide EPA with ambient air quality surveillance data, which includes emissions data and/or modeling data, to determine the status of air quality across the United States, to make attainment decisions with respect to the NAAQS, to assist in developing necessary control strategies to ensure attainment of the NAAQS, to assess national trends in air pollution, to inform the public of air quality, and to determine the population's exposure to various ambient air pollutants. EPA's goal of attaining the SO2 NAAQS in all areas of the United States is directly dependent upon the availability of ambient air quality data (emissions and/or modeling data) requested in this information collection. Additionally, EPA, state, and local air quality management agencies, environmental groups, industrial groups, and academic organizations use these data to study atmospheric chemistry, e.g., the formation and fate of SO2, to determine the most appropriate and effective control strategies necessary to reduce air pollution.

      The principal legal authority for this information collection is the Clean Air Act, 42 U.S.C. 7403, 7410, 7414(a), and 7511a, from which the 40 CFR part 51 regulations were promulgated.

      Under 7403(c), the Administrator is required to conduct a program of research, testing, and development of methods for sampling, measurement, monitoring, analysis, and modeling of air pollutants, specifically including a requirement to establish a national network to monitor, collect, and compile data with quantification of certainty in the status and trends of air emissions and air quality. This program will also include the development of improved methods and technologies to increase the understanding of the sources of sulfur oxides, its formation, transport, regional influences and trends, and interactions with other pollutants.

      Section 7410 (a) and (k) contain the SIP requirements, which include a requirement that each state submit a SIP that: 1) provides for the establishment and operation of appropriate devices, methods, systems, and procedures necessary to monitor, compile, analyze, and make available to the Administrator data on ambient air quality, and 2) provides for the performance of such air quality modeling as the Administrator may prescribe for the purpose of predicting the effect on ambient air quality of any emissions of any air pollutant for which the Administrator has established a national ambient air quality standard, and the submission, upon request, of data related to such air quality modeling to the designee as stipulated in the rule.

	(b) Practical Utility/Users of the Data
	EPA may use the ambient air quality data (emissions and/or modeling data) submitted pursuant to this collection for area designations and other decisions with respect to the SO2 NAAQS and SO2 air quality. Affected state or local air quality management agencies must develop an appropriate SIP for any area designated as nonattainment in order to improve air quality in the area such that it meets the applicable NAAQS expeditiously. EPA and air agencies would also use the ongoing submission of ambient air quality monitoring data, emissions data, and/or modeling data to increase their understanding regarding whether areas under the rule's ongoing requirements are meeting the standard.

      To identify how the nation is progressing in improving air quality, the OAQPS annually prepares the National Air Quality and Emissions Trends report (http://www.epa.gov/airtrends) using the ambient air quality data collected through monitoring related ICRs. The state and local air quality management agencies use these data for multiple purposes including tracking their progress toward achieving and maintaining air quality within the established NAAQS and any statewide standards they have established.

3. NON-DUPLICATION, CONSULTATIONS, AND OTHER COLLECTION CRITERIA

	(a) Non-duplication

      This collection of emissions data and modeling information, including the use of air dispersion modeling to characterize air quality and calculate design values for comparison to the NAAQS, is not unnecessarily duplicative of information otherwise reasonably accessible to the agency. AERMOD is the preferred regulatory air quality model and states use this as their primary mechanism for modeling and meeting the ongoing reporting requirements. The ambient air quality surveillance data and related information collected through this information collection are not otherwise reasonably accessible to EPA.

	(b) Public Notice Required Prior to ICR Submission to OMB

      The 1995 Paperwork Reduction Act requires that, except as provided under 44 U.S.C. §3507(j) or in the case of proposed collections of information contained in proposed rules, any agency proposing an ICR or extension of an ICR must solicit public comments for a 60-day period prior to submitting the ICR to OMB. Notice of a 60-day comment period on the proposed renewal of this ICR will be published in the Federal Register prior to submitting to OMB.

	(c) Consultations

	Through the course of planning, monitoring, and improving upon this collection and its associated regulation, EPA regularly consults with affected state and local air quality management agencies through various methods including the regulatory process, regular meetings, and training courses. Prior to the original ICR, EPA conducted several stakeholder meetings to discuss issues associated with implementation of the SO2 standard. In addition, EPA developed two Technical Assistance Documents for monitoring and modeling. These documents provided technical advice on the use of modeling and monitoring to determine if an area meets the 2010 SO2 NAAQS.
	In the development of this ICR renewal, we consulted with all 10 EPA Regional offices to gather information regarding the sources for which state, local and Tribal air agencies within each region are subject to requirements under the DRR, including which sources such air agencies elected to characterize air quality through modeling. EPA also regularly consults with these air agencies regarding ongoing annual report requirements, as applicable to such DRR sources.

	(d) Effects of Less Frequent Collection

	Sanctions do not automatically accrue to state or local air quality management agencies that fail to meet these requirements. The effects of less frequent collection include:

      :: 	Potential hindrance to EPA's ability to conduct national program oversight and meet its statutory obligations to implement the 2010 SO2 1-hour NAAQS to ensure public health protections in an efficient and effective manner.

      ::     A national database that is not consistently updated and available for public consumption;

      :: 	Less timely nonattainment designations with respect to the NAAQS;

      :: 	EPA would not be able to consistently answer questions from the public in a timely fashion regarding air quality in various areas of the country.

	(e) General Guidelines

      All of the OMB's general guidelines for information collections in 5 CFR 1320.5(d)(2) are met by this ICR.

	(f) Confidentiality

      Information that is considered personal, private, proprietary, or confidential is not required for this collection. One purpose of collecting emissions information or modeling data is to inform the public of the general quality of ambient air (air considered generally accessible to the public) and, as such, does not present a need for maintaining a confidential nature. In particular, the Clean Air Act specifies that information obtained under section 114 that qualifies as ``emission data'' is excluded from the category of information eligible for confidential treatment. Security measures are taken to prevent tampering with the AQS electronic database by limiting the access to the AQS mainframe only to authorized users.

	(g) Sensitive Questions

	This section is not applicable to this ICR because no information involving matters of a sensitive nature is collected under the DRR.

4. THE RESPONDENTS AND THE INFORMATION REQUESTED

	(a) Respondents/SIC Codes

      This ICR affects state and local governments (SIC code 951, Administration of Environmental Quality Program) that are responsible for air quality management. The 40 CFR part 51 regulations associated with this request require that state and local air quality management agencies on an ongoing basis shall submit annual emissions data reports to the EPA. In some cases, the air agency may need to submit additional updated modeling. For example, updated modeling may be needed from the air agency for an area with recent emissions increases, but which was initially designated as attainment/unclassifiable (or unclassifiable/attainment) on the basis of air quality modeling using actual emissions from an earlier year.

	(b) Information Requested for Areas Where the Modeling Option Was Implemented

	(i) Data items, including record keeping requirements (Modeling Option)

	These data items are submitted to EPA's Regional offices as required by the SO2 Data Requirements Rule under 40 CFR section 51.1205(b). These data are stored electronically, or by hard copy, at EPA's Regional offices, and separate records kept by the state or local air quality management agency are not required.

      ::     A report, submitted annually, that assesses the annual SO2 emissions of each applicable source in the area and provides the cause of any emissions increase from the previous year, along with a recommendation for whether updated modeling is needed to determine whether the area is currently meeting the 2010 SO2 NAAQS.

 If updated modeling is required for an area, revised modeling with updated emission and meteorological inputs and any other input parameters that may be needed to conduct an accurate updated characterization of the area within 12 months of the determination that updated modeling was necessary.
     (ii) Respondent Activities (Modeling Option)

 Gather the most recent emissions data for source(s) in each area for which ongoing reports are required, include the annual emissions data for such source(s) in the annual report, and compare the new data against the previous emissions data.
 If any emissions have increased from the previous year, determine why emissions have increased and include that reasoning in the annual report.
 Make a recommendation of whether updated modeling is needed to characterize air quality in each source's area to determine whether the area meets or does not meet the 2010 SO2 NAAQS and include that recommendation in the annual report.
 Submit annual report to EPA after making available for public inspection.
 If emissions have increased to the point that modeling is needed, gather meteorological, emissions, and source characterization data to conduct modeling with the latest emissions following the SO2 Modeling Technical Assistance Document. Specifically, if updated modeling is required under the ongoing reporting requirements, EPA recommends air agencies use EPA's preferred near-field dispersion model, the AERMOD modeling system. The use of AERMOD includes the following regulatory components:
             AERMOD dispersion model
             AERMAP terrain processor
             AERMET meteorological processor
      Other components can be used with AERMOD, depending on the application, including:
             BPIPPRM building processor (for downwash)
             AERMINUTE 1-minute ASOS winds pre-processor for input into AERMET
             AERSURFACE surface characteristics pre-processor for input into AERMET
             AERSCREEN, a screening version of AERMOD.
      The dispersion modeling for the ongoing reporting requirements for SO2 under the Data Requirements Rule uses:
             Source characterization (including physical stack dimensions and exhaust gas parameters) information and emissions inputs for modeled sources
             Representative meteorological data of the area
             Terrain data to generate elevations for sources and receptors
             Receptor locations
             Background concentrations, and
             Building data for sources that will be affected by downwash.
      Each modeling application is unique; therefore, the following inputs may be needed for analyses, which may affect modeling costs:
             Determining the appropriate size of the modeling domain to capture potential modeled NAAQS violations
             Determining sources to model explicitly in the modeling, and sources to characterize in the modeling via background concentrations
             Estimating time-varying emissions for modeled sources
             Obtaining stack parameters for modeled sources
             Obtaining building information for sources subject to downwash effects
             Determining the receptor grid spacing and creating the elevations in the receptor grid via AERMAP
             Determining the representative meteorological surface and upper air stations for the model domain, downloading the meteorological and land use data for input into AERMINUTE, AERMET and AERSURFACE
             Calculating the appropriate background concentrations
      Once these inputs have been generated and processed through the appropriate programs, AERMOD can be run and post-processed to generate modeled design concentrations to compare against the NAAQS. The level of post-processing (charts, tables, maps, etc.) can affect modeling costs as well.

 Post-process model output to calculate design concentrations to compare against the NAAQS to assess if the area is violating the NAAQS.
 Submit modeling to EPA within 12 months in accordance with the final rule.
   Each of these activities can be conducted using existing reporting and recordkeeping practices.

5. THE INFORMATION COLLECTED--AGENCY ACTIVITIES, COLLECTION METHODOLOGY, AND INFORMATION MANAGEMENT

	(a) Agency Activities

      The EPA conducts the following activities to implement the modeling option of this ICR and associated regulation:

 Review and assess the annual report submitted by the air agency which includes updated emissions information to evaluate whether there are increases in emissions in the affected area that may warrant updated modeling to determine whether the area continues to meet the standard.

 For areas for which EPA is requiring updated modeling for the ongoing reporting requirements, per 51.1205(b), analyze and compare the updated modeling results to the NAAQS.

 Answer respondent questions (state and local air quality management agencies) and questions from industrial organizations, environmental groups, and others about modeling submitted to meet the requirements of the SO2 DRR, including questions regarding meteorological and emissions data.
	(b) Collection Methodology and Management

      For air quality modeling, EPA has provided the SO2 Modeling Technical Assistance Document and the Guideline on Air Quality Models, Appendix W to 40 CFR Part 51, to assist air agencies and ensure that they can successfully use AERMOD to estimate design concentrations that are accurate and conform to the DRR requirements. Appendix W is updated via the public review and comment process to incorporate the latest regulatory changes and model performance enhancements into EPA's suite of regulatory models, including AERMOD. All regulatory modeling is made available to the public upon request.

	(c) Small Entity Flexibility

      This collection contains a minimum amount of information in order to manage the air quality program for the United States. The smallest entities affected by this collection are local air quality management agencies, typically consisting of the governing agencies for a county or group of counties, or a smaller metropolitan area (e.g., cities with a population of 50,000). This collection reduces to the extent practicable and appropriate the burden on entities that provide ambient air quality data and information to or for EPA, including with respect to small entities, as defined in the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601(6)), the use of such techniques as clarification, consolidation, or simplification of compliance and reporting requirements (e.g., by establishing, maintaining, and improving as needed the AERMOD modeling platform and operational guidance to improve its accuracy and performance).

	(d) Collection Schedule for Annual Data Reports and Potential Modeling Revisions

	For areas where modeling of actual SO2 emissions served as the basis for designating the area attainment/unclassifiable or unclassifiable/attainment for the 2010 SO2 NAAQs, an annual report is required to be submitted by the air agency to the appropriate EPA Regional Administrator by July 1 of each year that documents the annual SO2 emissions of each applicable source and assesses the cause of any emissions increase from the previous year, per 51.1205(b). For any areas for which an EPA Regional Administrator, as a result of evaluating the annual report, requires the air agency to update its air quality modeling, the air agency must submit that modeling to EPA within 12 months.

6. 	ESTIMATING THE BURDEN AND COST OF THE COLLECTION FOR POTENTIALLY REQUIRED MODELING

	(a) Estimating Respondent Burden

      States are required annually to update emissions and provide an assessment of the cause of any emissions increase from the previous year to EPA that can be used to determine if an area requires new modeling for use in determining ongoing compliance with the NAAQS. To determine the potential modeling burden for air agencies, we are using a simplified, turnkey estimate ($22,000 per model run) to estimate the costs (see section 6(b) below) associated with assessing the emissions inventory, generating the annual report, and updating the modeling as required. For cases where the agency is submitting only a report with no revised modeling, the labor burden for respondents is assumed to be 5 percent of the overall turnkey estimate to generate the report.

	(b) Estimating Respondent Costs

	As noted in section 3(c) of this supporting statement, EPA consulted with all 10 EPA Regional offices to gather information regarding the sources for which air agencies elected to characterize air quality through modeling. EPA Regional offices provided information regarding annual reports of sources from air agencies for those sources subject to the ongoing requirements under the DRR's modeling pathway.
      A total of 36 state and local air agencies chose to characterize air quality for one or more sources in their jurisdiction via the modeling pathway, for a total of 137 sources. Based on the annual emissions reports for those 137 sources, EPA could require air agencies to provide additional modeling for some sources as part of their annual reporting obligation if there are significant increases in their year over year emissions. For sources for which EPA does not require additional modeling, air agencies will have to submit only a report on their emissions changes. The report-only obligation is a much lower annual burden than one in which updated modeling is required. However, for the purposes of this ICR, we are assuming, on a "worst-case" basis, that air agencies will be required to provide updated modeling annually for all 137 sources, and they will provide these modeling results as part of the annual report.

      Based on market research, stakeholder feedback, and the assumptions of the use of modeling for the ongoing data verification reports, a conservative estimate of modeling costs for a single DRR-applicable source or source area, where additional modeling is determined to be necessary, is $22,000. This cost estimate also includes the time necessary to update the appropriate emissions inventory and any other input files for the modeling. In the highly unlikely event that air agencies and EPA determined that it was necessary for air agencies to conduct additional modeling for all 137 sources that are subject to the ongoing reporting requirements under the DRR, the total annual national costs to air agencies are estimated at approximately $3,014,000.  For purposes of the burden calculations in this ICR renewal, we are being highly conservative and assuming this "worst case" scenario will occur in each of the three years that this collection will be active. We say this estimate is highly conservative because, since July 1, 2017, when the first annual reports were due, few states have submitted revised modeling. Therefore, the actual respondent burden is likely to be much lower since most air agency submittals are expected to entail an emissions assessment report only with no accompanying modeling.

      In instances where additional modeling is not required, our burden estimate for the emissions change assessment and the final report preparation is equal to 5 percent of the overall costs of the full-scale modeling estimate. Should it be the case that none of the 137 sources require new modeling for the duration of this collection, the annual burden cost estimate would thus be $150,700. This estimate of 5 percent is likely conservative because, in general, the air agency respondent can use the previous year's report as a template and simply update the reported and readily available emissions numbers.

      Regardless of which response type (i.e., report-only or report accompanied by revised modeling) is required, we are assuming that most of the cost (approximately 90 percent) is for labor, leaving 10 percent as non-labor burden, as was assumed for the original ICR.

	(c) Estimating Agency Burden and Cost

      For reports for which EPA determined that updated modeling was required, EPA estimates that, on average, 40 total hours would be needed to review each of the annual reports and the subsequent modeling analysis. If all 137 sources are assumed to update modeling as part of the annual requirement, then 5,480 hours would be the total labor estimate for EPA/OAQPS, the ten EPA Regional offices, and any associated contractor activities. Using a rough average hourly rate of $100, the average annual agency cost would be $548,000. If no modeling is being submitted for any of the 137 sources, we assume that 8 hours would be needed to review the annual submission for each source. Thus, the low end of the cost range would be $109,600. For total burden estimates below we are conservatively assuming that all 137 sources are submitting modeling and use the upper value (i.e., $548,000) for the burden.

	(d) Estimating the Respondent Universe and Total Burden and Costs

      For the modeling option, the average annual respondent cost is $3,014,000 if modeling is submitted for all 137 sources. This is based on an estimate of $22,000 per source for a modeling analysis for a DRR applicable source and assumes that 10% of that total cost is for the non-labor burden.

	(e) Bottom Line Burden Hours and Cost Tables

      (i) Respondent Tally

            Number of Respondents: 36
      Number of Annual Responses: 137
      Respondent Annual Burden: Number of hours not calculated
      Respondent Total Annual Costs: $3,014,000
      Respondent Annual Non-Labor Costs: $301,400

      (ii) Agency Tally

            Agency Total Annual Burden: 5,480 hours
            Agency Total Annual Cost: $548,000

	(f) Reasons for Change in Burden

      The revised burden associated with this ICR results from the requirements under the SO2 Data Requirements Rule, updated cost/burden estimates for annual reports with potentially required modeling, and an existing, separate ICR (Ambient Air Quality Surveillance 40 Part 58 ICR) currently covering the burden for the required ambient monitoring. The final rule gave air agencies the flexibility to characterize air quality using either appropriately sited ambient air quality monitors or modeling of source emissions. Each agency was required to identify for each listed source area which approach (ambient monitoring or air quality modeling) it would use to characterize air quality. Air agencies who chose the monitoring path for a source area began monitoring in 2017. Currently, for those state and local air management agencies that chose monitoring for certain applicable areas, the DRR requires that ongoing monitoring meet the requirements in 40 CFR Part 58. Correspondingly, the Ambient Air Quality Surveillance 40 Part 58 ICR covers all monitoring that began and continues to be required under the DRR.

      For the modeling burden estimates, EPA has revised the number of applicable sources from 170 to 137 and has adjusted the burden estimates accordingly. The number of applicable sources changed from 170 to 137 because some states changed the DRR option pathway (e.g. to monitoring from modeling) for certain sources from their original notification to EPA. Also, some sources have ceased operations in the years since the reports were first required, and in certain circumstances EPA approved that emissions reports for these sources are no longer required. A turnkey estimate of $22,000 is used for the burden estimate for updated modeling versus the $30,000 estimate that was used for the 2019 ICR renewal. The new, lower number for this renewal is based on the fact that most of the model input files are simply updated files, and were not created from scratch, which was the case for the original modeling. That is, for any revised modeling required for reports due during the time period covered by this ICR renewal, the input files will likely not need to be recreated wholly from scratch; they are merely updated with new emissions or meteorological inputs before rerunning the model. This efficiency results in the lower cost per source.

      Finally, since the first reporting due date of July 1, 2017, air agencies resubmitted modeling using allowable emissions for a few sources and thus these sources became exempt from further reporting requirements. Because there are now fewer sources for which air agencies must submit annual emissions reports, it also reduces the estimated overall cost burden since we are accounting for 33 fewer sources compared to the previous ICR renewal. Although the overall burden is reduced compared to the prior renewal, the estimates are still conservative and therefore on the high end due to the assumption that all agencies will need to re-model for all sources, when in fact, based on their review of updated emissions data, a new modeling run may not be required. EPA will continue to work closely with air agencies and update burden estimates as appropriate in future ICR renewals.

	(g) Burden Statement

      The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information for state and local air agencies who may be subject to modeling, the labor burden was estimated as a percentage of the overall cost of the project rather than an estimated number of hours per respondent. 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; 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. 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. The OMB control numbers for EPA's regulations are listed in 40 CFR part 9 and 48 CFR chapter 15.

	To comment on the Agency's need for this information, the accuracy of the provided burden estimates, and any suggested methods for minimizing respondent burden, including the use of automated collection techniques, EPA has established a public docket for this ICR under Docket ID Number EPA-HQ-OAR-2013-0711, which is available for online viewing at www.regulations.gov.

I. Background

A. Delegation of NESHAP

    Section 112(l) of the Clean Air Act, as amended in 1990 (CAA),
authorizes EPA to delegate to state or local air pollution control
agencies the authority to implement and enforce the standards set out
in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 40 (40 CFR), Part 63,
National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Source
Categories. On November 26, 1993, EPA promulgated regulations, codified
at 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart E (hereinafter referred to as ``Subpart
E''), establishing procedures for EPA's approval of state rules or
programs under section 112(l) (see 58 FR 62262). Subpart E was later
amended on September 14, 2000 (see 65 FR 55810).
    Any request for approval under CAA section 112(l) must meet the
approval criteria in 112(l)(5) and Subpart E. To streamline the
approval process for future applications, a State or local agency may
submit a one-time demonstration that it has adequate authorities and
resources to implement and enforce any CAA section 112 standards. If
such demonstration is approved, then the state or local agency would no
longer need to resubmit a demonstration of these same authorities and
resources for every subsequent request for delegation of CAA section
112 standards. However, EPA maintains the authority to withdraw its
approval if the State does not adequately implement or enforce an
approved rule or program.

B. ADEQ Delegations

    On July 17, 1998, EPA published a direct final action delegating to
the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ) several NESHAP
and approving ADEQ's delegation mechanism for future standards (see 63
FR 38478). That action explained the procedure for EPA to grant future
delegations to ADEQ by letter, with periodic Federal Register listings
of standards that have been delegated. On February 21, 2007, ADEQ
requested delegation of the following NESHAP contained in 40 CFR Part
63:

     Subpart J--NESHAP for Polyvinyl Chloride and Copolymers

     Subpart MMMM--NESHAP for Surface Coating of
Miscellaneous Metal Parts and Products
     Subpart NNNN--National Emission Standards for Large
Appliances
     Subpart OOOO--NESHAP: Printing, Coating, and Dyeing of
Fabrics and Other Textiles
     Subpart PPPP--NESHAP for Surface Coating of Plastic
Parts and Products
     Subpart QQQQ--National Emission Standards for Wood
Building Products
     Subpart RRRR--National Emission Standards for Surface

Manufacturing
     Subpart YYYY--NESHAP for Stationary Combustion Turbines
     Subpart ZZZZ--NESHAP for Stationary Reciprocating
Internal Combustion Engines
     Subpart AAAAA--NESHAP for Lime Manufacturing Plants
     Subpart BBBBB--National Emission Standards for
Semiconductor Manufacturing
     Subpart CCCCC--National Emission Standards for Coke
Ovens: Pushing, Quenching, and Battery Stacks
     Subpart EEEEE--NESHAP for Iron and Steel Foundries
     Subpart FFFFF--National Emission Standards for
Integrated Iron and Steel
     Subpart GGGGG--NESHAP: Site Remediation
     Subpart HHHHH--NESHAP: Miscellaneous Coating
Manufacturing
     Subpart IIIII--NESHAP: Mercury Emissions from Mercury
Cell Chlor-Alkali Plants
     Subpart JJJJJ--National Emission Standards for Brick
and Structural Clay Products Manufacturing
     Subpart KKKKK--NESHAP for Clay Ceramics Manufacturing
     Subpart LLLLL--National Emission Standards for Asphalt
Roofing and Processing
     Subpart MMMMM--National Emission Standards for Flexible
Polyurethane Foam Fabrication Operations
     Subpart NNNNN--NESHAP: Hydrochloric Acid Production
     Subpart PPPPP--National Emission Standards for Engine

     Subpart QQQQQ--National Emission Standards for Friction
Products Manufacturing
     Subpart RRRRR--NESHAP: Taconite Iron Ore Processing
     Subpart SSSSS--National Emission Standards for
Refractory Products Manufacturing
     Subpart TTTTT--NESHAP for Primary Magnesium Refining

    On March 16, 2007, EPA granted delegation to ADEQ for these NESHAP,
along with any amendments to previously-ndash;delegated NESHAP, as of
July 1, 2004. Today's action is serving to notify the public of the
March 16, 2007, delegation and to codify these delegations into the
Code of Federal Regulations.
    ADEQ also included a request for delegation of the federal List of
Hazardous Air Pollutants, Petitions Process, Lesser Quantity
Designations, Source Category List codified at 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart
C. This Subpart does not need to be delegated under the Clean Air Act
section 112(l) approval process. EPA does not delegate to state or
local agencies the authority to make changes to this federal list of
pollutants, and Subpart C does not contain any provisions or
authorities requiring implementation by state or local agencies. As a
result, EPA is not taking action to delegate 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart C
or its amendments to ADEQ.

C. NDEP Delegations

    On May 27, 1998, EPA published a direct final action delegating to
the Nevada Division of Environmental Protection (NDEP) several NESHAP
and approving NDEP's delegation mechanism for future standards (see 63
FR 28906). That action explained the procedure for EPA to grant
delegations to NDEP by letter, with periodic Federal Register listings
of standards that have been delegated. On October 26, 2006, NDEP
requested delegation of the NESHAP for Plywood and Composite Wood
Products, 40 CFR part 63, subpart DDDD.
    On January 12, 2007, EPA granted delegation to NDEP for this
NESHAP, along with any amendments to previously-ndash;delegated NESHAP,
as of July 1, 2006. Today's action is serving to notify the public of
the January 12, 2007, delegations and to codify these delegations into
the Code of Federal Regulations.
    NDEP also included a request for delegation of the Federal list of
hazardous air pollutants, codified at 40 CFR part 63, subpart C. There
are no authorities to delegate in this Subpart, and EPA does not
delegate to States the ability to make modifications to the list. As a
result, EPA is not taking action to delegate 40 CFR part 63, subpart C
or its amendments to NDEP.

II. EPA Action

    Today's document serves to notify the public of the delegation of
NESHAP to ADEQ on March 16, 2007, and to NDEP on January 12, 2007.
Today's action will codify these delegations into the Code of Federal
Regulations.

III. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    Under Executive Order 12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993), this
action is not a ``significant regulatory action'' and therefore is not
subject to review by the Office of Management and Budget. For this
reason, this action is also not subject to Executive Order 13211,
``Actions Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect Energy
Supply, Distribution, or Use'' (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001). This action
merely updates the list of approved delegations in the Code of Federal
Regulations and imposes no additional requirements. Accordingly, the
Administrator certifies that this rule will not have a significant
economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the
Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.). Because this rule
does not impose any additional enforceable duty beyond that required by
state law, it

does not contain any unfunded mandate or significantly or uniquely
affect small governments, as described in the Unfunded Mandates Reform
Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-4).
    This rule also does not have tribal implications because it will
not have a substantial direct effect on one or more Indian tribes, on
the relationship between the Federal Government and Indian tribes, or
on the distribution of power and responsibilities between the Federal
Government and Indian tribes, as specified by Executive Order 13175 (65
FR 67249, November 9, 2000). This action also does not have Federalism
implications because it does not have substantial direct effects on the
States, on the relationship between the national government and the
States, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities among the
various levels of government, as specified in Executive Order 13132 (64
FR 43255, August 10, 1999). This action merely updates the list of
already-ndash;approved delegations, and does not alter the relationship
or the distribution of power and responsibilities established in the
CAA. This rule also is not subject to Executive Order 13045
``Protection of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety
Risks'' (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997), because it approves a state rule
implementing a Federal standard.
    In reviewing State delegation submissions, our role is to approve
State choices, provided that they meet the criteria of the CAA. In this
context, in the absence of a prior existing requirement for the State
to use voluntary consensus standards (VCS), EPA has no authority to
disapprove State submissions for failure to use VCS. It would thus be
inconsistent with applicable law for EPA, when it reviews a State
submission, to use VCS in place of a State submission that otherwise
satisfies the provisions of the CAA. Thus, the requirements of section
12(d) of the National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995
(15 U.S.C. 272 note) do not apply. This rule does not impose an
information collection burden under the provisions of the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.).
    The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. section 801 et seq., as
added by the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of
1996, generally provides that before a rule may take effect, the agency
promulgating the rule must submit a rule report, which includes a copy
of the rule, to each House of the Congress and to the Comptroller
General of the United States. EPA will submit a report containing this
rule and other required information to the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House
of Representatives, and the Comptroller General of the United States
prior to publication of the rule in the Federal Register. A major rule
cannot take effect until 60 days after it is published in the Federal
Register. This action is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C.
804(2).
    Under section 307(b)(1) of the Clean Air Act, petitions for
judicial review of this action must be filed in the United States Court
of Appeals for the appropriate circuit by July 9, 2007. Filing a
petition for reconsideration by the Administrator of this final rule
does not affect the finality of this rule for the purposes of judicial
review nor does it extend the time within which a petition for judicial
review may be filed, and shall not postpone the effectiveness of such
rule or action. This action may not be challenged later in proceedings
to enforce its requirements (see section 307(b)(2)).

<EMAIL_ADDRESS>phone:<PHONE_NUMBER>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Public Comments Invited: You are asked to comment on any aspect of
this information collection, including (a) Whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary for FAA's performance; (b) the
accuracy of the estimated burden; (c) ways for FAA to enhance the
quality, utility and clarity of the information collection; and (d)

    OMB Control Number: 2120-XXXX.
    Title: FAA Aircraft Pilots Workforce Development Grant Program.
    Form Numbers: Form SF-424, SF-424A, SF424B, SF-LLL, Key Contacts
Form V1.0, Project Narrative Attachment Form V1.2, Budget Narrative
Attachment Form V1.2,

Project/Performance Site Location (s) V2.0, Other Attachment Form V1.2.
    Type of Review: New information collection.
    Background: This is a new collection and is required to retain a
benefit from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). The new
collection will be conducted for reporting purposes and will assist in
the FAA in administering a new Aircraft Pilots Workforce Development
Grant Program. The program is mandated by FAA Reauthorization of 2018,
Public Law 115-254 for the purpose to (1) Create and deliver curriculum
designed to provide high school students with meaningful aviation
education that is designed to prepare the students to become aircraft
pilots, aerospace engineers, or unmanned aircraft systems operators.
(2) Support the professional development of teachers using the above
curriculum.
    Under this new authority, the FAA intends to collect information
from the following categories of eligible applicants identified in the
legislation. (1) Accredited Higher Education Institution (20 U.S.C.
1001), Secondary school or high school (20 U.S.C. 7801). (2) State or
local government entity. (3) Air Carriers (sec. 40102, title 49) or
labor unions representing aircrafts pilots and (4) Flight School that
provides flight training (part 61, title 14) or holds a pilot school
certificate (part, 141, title 14).
    The collection will be conducted by the FAA in applications for
grant awards not more frequently than annually with quarterly and final
reports from all grant recipients. It will provide critical data on
locations where the grant dollars are being used to plan and respond
the aircraft pilot workforce shortage. This information will provide
the FAA with an indication of where gaps exist in planning for the
workforce shortage and will help the FAA determine which projects have
the great ability to help address the forecasted aircraft pilot
shortage.
    Respondents: The Legislation identified the following categories of
applicants as eligible to apply for grants under this program. The
Program expects approximately 10 respondents from each category below
for a total of approximately 40 respondents:
    (1) Accredited Higher Education Institution (20 U.S.C. 1001),
Secondary school or high school (20 U.S.C. 7801).
    (2) State or local government entity.
    (3) Air Carriers (sec. 40102, title 49) or labor unions
representing aircrafts pilots.
    (4) Flight School that provides flight training (part 61, title 14)
or holds a pilot school certificate (part, 141, title 14).
    The legislation also requires the FAA to ensure participation from
a diverse collection of public and private schools in rural, suburban,
and urban areas.
    Frequency: The collection will be conducted by the FAA in
applications for grant awards not more frequently than annually with
quarterly and final reports from all grant recipients.
    Estimated Average Burden per Response: 4 Hours per respondent.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: Estimated to be 456 hours.
