that document on each person on the official service list for the
project. Further, if an intervenor files comments or documents with the
Commission relating to the merits of an issue that may affect the
responsibilities of a particular resource agency, they must also serve
a copy of the document on that resource agency.
    Scoping comments may be filed electronically via the Internet in
lieu of paper. The Commission strongly encourages electronic filings.
See 18 CFR 385.2001(a)(1)(iii) and the instructions on the Commission's
Web site at http://www.ferc.gov under the ``e-Filing'' link.
    k. This application is not ready for environmental analysis at this
time.
    l. Project Description: Gathright Dam, which creates Lake Moomaw,
is located on the Jackson River, 43.4 miles upstream of its confluence
with the Cowpasture River to form the James River. Lake Moomaw extends
upstream more than 12 miles from the dam. The dam is located in
Alleghany County, Virginia with most of Lake Moomaw in Bath County.
    The existing Corps facilities consist of: (1) The 257-foot-high,
1,172-foot-long rock-fill Gathright Dam with an impervious core and a
top width of 32 feet; (2) an outlet works comprised of an intake tower
with 10 water quality intake gates, outlet tunnel, stilling basin and
outlet channel; (3) an emergency spillway located 2.4 miles south of
the dam comprised of an ungated and unpaved trapezoidal channel 2,680
feet long and 100 feet wide at its crest; and (4) the 2,530-acre Lake
Moomaw at a normal conservation pool water surface elevation of 1,582.0
\1\ feet.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ All elevations are referenced to NGVD 1,929 (National
Geodetic Vertical Datum).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The proposed project would utilize the head created by the existing
dam and consist of: (1) A new, 155-foot-high, 16-foot-wide, 10-foot
deep intake module attached to the intake tower upstream of the south
tunnel passageway trashrack; (2) one new 3.7-megawatt (MW) generating
unit attached to the top of the intake module; (3) one new Francis
turbine and draft tube at the bottom of the intake module; (4) a new
0.94-mile-long, 46-kilovolt transmission line; and (5) appurtenant
facilities. The impoundment would provide an estimated average head of
140 feet for power generation purposes. The estimated average annual
generation would be 17,500 megawatt hours.
    m. Locations of the Application: A copy of the application is
available for review at the Commission in the Public Reference Room or
may be viewed on the Commission's Web site at http://www.ferc.gov using
the ``eLibrary'' link. Enter the docket number excluding the last three
digits in the docket number field to access the document. For

National Environmental Policy Act. The EA will consider both site-
specific and cumulative environmental impacts and reasonable
alternatives to the proposed action.

Scoping Meetings

    Commission staff will hold two scoping meetings in the vicinity of
the project at the time and place noted below. The daytime meeting will
focus on resource agency, Indian tribes, and non-governmental
organization concerns, while the evening meeting is primarily for
receiving input from the public. We invite all interested individuals,
organizations, and agencies to attend one or both of these meetings and
to assist staff in determining the scope of the environmental issues to
be address in the environmental assessment. The times and locations of
these meetings are as follows:

Daytime Scoping Meeting

    Date: January 20, 2010.
    Time: 1 p.m. (EST).
    Place: Covington Public Library.
    Address: Covington Public Library, 406 W Riverside Street,

    Time: 6 p.m. (EST).
    Place: Covington Public Library.
    Address: Covington Public Library, 406 W Riverside Street,
Covington, VA 24426.
    The scoping document, which outlines the subject areas to be
addressed in the environmental assessment, was mailed to the
individuals and entities on the Commission's mailing list. Copies of
the scoping document will be available at the scoping meetings or may
be viewed on the Web at http://www.ferc.gov using the ``eLibrary'' link
(see item m above). Based on all oral and written comments, a revised
scoping document may be issued.

Site Visit

    We will hold a site visit to the project on Thursday, January 21,
2010, beginning at 10 a.m. (EST). To attend the site visit, meet at the
U.S. Army Corps of Engineer's office at Gathright Dam. All participants
are responsible for their own transportation and lunch. Anyone with
questions about the site visit (or for directions) should contact James
B. Price<PHONE_NUMBER>. Those individuals planning to participate in
the site visit should notify Mr. Price of their intent, no later than
January 18, 2010.
    Note that Commission staff may hold a site visit and/or meeting at
the project

at a later date to discuss any project-related effects to
archaeological, historic, or traditional cultural properties.

Meeting Objectives

    At the scoping meetings, staff will: (1) Summarize the
environmental issues tentatively identified for analysis in the EA; (2)
solicit from meeting participants all available information, especially
quantifiable data, on the resources at issues; (3) encourage statements
from experts and the public on issues that should be analyzed in the
EA, including viewpoints in opposition to, or in support of, the
staff's preliminary views; (4) determine the resource issues to be
addressed in the EA; and (5) identify those issues that require a
detailed analysis, as well as those issues that do not require a
detailed analysis.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

[EPA-R10-OAR-2015-0322: FRL-9931-62-Region 10]

Adequacy Determination for the Grants Pass, Oregon Carbon
Monoxide State Implementation Plan for Transportation Conformity
Purposes

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of adequacy determination.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is notifying the
public of its finding that the Grants Pass, Oregon second 10-year
limited maintenance plan (LMP) for carbon monoxide (CO) is adequate for
transportation conformity purposes. The LMP was submitted to the EPA by
the State of Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (ODEQ or the
State) on April 22, 2015. As a result of our adequacy finding, regional
emissions analyses will no longer be required as part of the
transportation conformity demonstrations for CO for the Grants Pass
area.

DATES: This finding is effective August 17, 2015.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: The finding will be available at the
EPA's conformity Web site: http://www.epa.gov/otaq/stateresources/transconf/adequacy.htm. You may also contact Dr. Karl Pepple, U.S. EPA,
Region 10 (OAWT-107), 1200 Sixth Ave., Suite 900, Seattle WA 98101;
(206) 553-1778; or by email at<EMAIL_ADDRESS>
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This action provides notice of the EPA's
adequacy finding regarding the second 10-year CO limited maintenance
plan (LMP) for the Grants Pass area for purposes of transportation
conformity. The EPA's finding was made pursuant to the adequacy review
process for implementation plan submissions delineated at 40 CFR
93.118(f)(1) under which the EPA reviews the adequacy of a state
implementation plan (SIP) submission prior to the EPA's final action on
the implementation plan.
    The State submitted the LMP to the EPA on April 22, 2015. Pursuant
to 40 CFR 93.118(f)(1), the EPA notified the public of its receipt of
this plan and its review for an adequacy determination on the EPA's Web
site and requested public comment by no later than June 3, 2015. The
EPA received no comments on the plan during the comment period. As part
of our analysis, we also reviewed the State's compilation of public
comments and response to comments that were submitted during the
State's public process for the LMP. There were no adverse comments
directed at the on-road portion of the LMP.
    Based on our review, the EPA believes it is appropriate to find
this LMP adequate for use in transportation conformity prior to final
action on the LMP. The EPA has moved forward with an approval notice
for the Grants Pass CO LMP. Until that action is final and effective,
this adequacy finding allows the State to apply the LMP for
transportation conformity purposes.
    The EPA notified ODEQ in a letter dated June 24, 2015 (adequacy
letter), subsequent to the close of the EPA comment period, that the
EPA had found the LMP to be adequate for use in transportation
conformity. A copy of the adequacy letter and its enclosure are
available in the docket for this action and at the EPA's conformity Web
site: http://www.epa.gov/otaq/stateresources/transconf/adequacy.htm.
    Pursuant to 40 CFR 93.109(e), limited maintenance plans are not
required to contain on-road motor vehicle emissions budgets.
Accordingly, as a result of this adequacy finding, regional emissions
analyses will no longer be required as a part of the transportation
conformity demonstrations for CO for the Grants Pass area. However,
other conformity requirements still remain such as consultation (40 CFR
93.112), transportation control measures (40 CFR 93.113), and project
level analysis (40 CFR 93.116).
    Transportation conformity is required by section 176(c) of the
Clean Air Act. Transportation conformity to a SIP means that on-road
transportation activities will not produce new air quality violations,
worsen existing violations, or delay timely attainment of the national
ambient air quality standards. The minimum criteria by which we
determine whether a SIP is adequate for conformity purposes are
specified at 40 CFR 93.118(e)(4). The EPA's analysis of how the LMP
satisfies these criteria is found in the adequacy letter and its
enclosure.

    Authority:  42 U.S.C. 7401-767Iq.

    Dated: July 15, 2015.

  SEQ CHAPTER \h \r 1 SUPPORTING STATEMENT

NATIONAL EMISSION STANDARDS FOR MINERAL WOOL PRODUCTION

PART A

1.0  	Identification of the Information Collection

(a) 	Title and Number of the Information Collection.

	“National Emission Standards Mineral Wool Production.”  This is a
new information collection request (ICR), and the EPA tracking number is
1799.06.

 (b) 	Short Characterization.

	This ICR covers information collection requirements in the proposed
amendments to the Mineral Wool Production NESHAP (40 CFR part 63,
subpart DDD).

	The potential respondents are owners or operators of any existing, new,
or reconstructed mineral wool production facilities. There are an
estimated 7 facilities subject to the Mineral Wool Production NESHAP.
The affected source is any mineral wool production facility that is
engaged, either in part or in whole, in the production of mineral wool
and that is located at a plant site that is a major source as defined in
40 CFR part 63.2.

The proposed amendments would require HAP-specific emission limits for
COS, HF, and HCl from cupolas; revised emission limits for formaldehyde
and new emission limits for phenol, and methanol from 3 new
subcategories of combined collection/curing operations; and new
requirements for periods of startup and shutdown. The proposed emission
limits for COS can be met by cost effective measures such as changes in
raw materials and the other proposed emission limits are currently being
met by all facilities. These amendments are explained further in the
following paragraphs.

The information collection requirements associated with the proposed
amendments to the NESHAP are listed in Attachment 1.

2.  	Need For and Use of the Collection

(a)	Need/Authority for the Collection.

	Section 112 of the Clean Air Act (CAA) requires EPA to establish NESHAP
for both major and area sources of HAP that are listed for regulation
under CAA section 112(c).  A major source is a stationary source that
emits or has the potential to emit more than 10 tons per year (tpy) of
any single HAP or more than 25 tpy of any combination of HAP.  An area
source is a stationary source that is not a major source (i.e., an area
source does not emit and does not have the potential to emit more than
10 tpy of any single HAP and more than 25 tpy of any combination of
HAP).  For major sources, these technology-based standards must reflect
the maximum degree of emission reductions of HAP achievable (after
considering cost, energy requirements, and non-air quality health and
environmental impacts) and are commonly referred to as maximum
achievable control technology (MACT) standards.  Section 112(d)(6)
requires EPA to review these technology-based standards and to revise
them “as necessary (taking into account developments in practices,
processes, and control technologies)” no less frequently than every 8
years.  In addition, section 112(f) of the CAA requires EPA to determine
for source categories subject to certain CAA section 112(d) standards
whether the emissions limitations provide an ample margin of safety to
protect public health.  For MACT standards for HAP “classified as a
known, probable, or possible human carcinogen" that "do not reduce
lifetime excess cancer risks to the individual most exposed to emissions
from a source in the category or subcategory to less than 1-in-1
million,” EPA must promulgate residual risk standards for the source
category (or subcategory) as necessary to provide an ample margin of
safety to protect public health.  In doing so, EPA may adopt standards
equal to existing MACT standards, if EPA determines that the existing
standards are sufficiently protective.  EPA must also adopt more
stringent standards, if necessary, to prevent an adverse environmental
effect, but must consider cost, energy, safety, and other relevant
factors in doing so.

	Certain records and reports are necessary for the Administrator to
confirm the compliance status of sources subject to NESHAP, identify any
new or reconstructed sources subject to the standards, and confirm that
the standards are being achieved on a continuous basis.  These
recordkeeping and reporting requirements are specifically authorized by
section 114 of the Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C. 7414) and set out in the
part 63 NESHAP General Provisions.  The recordkeeping and reporting
requirements for title V permits are contained in 40 CFR 70.6 and 40 CFR
71.6.  Under parts 63 and 70 or 71, the owner or operator must keep each
record for 5 years following the date of each occurrence, measurement,
maintenance, corrective action, report, or record.

 (b)	Use/Users of the Data.

	The information will be used by the delegated authority (State agency,
or Regional Administrator if there is no delegated State agency) to
ensure that the standards and other requirements are being achieved.
Based on review of the recorded information at the site and the reported
information, the delegated permitting authority can identify facilities
that may not be in compliance and decide which facilities, records, or
processes may need inspection.

3.	Nonduplication, Consultations, and Other Collection Criteria

(a)	Nonduplication.

A computer search of EPA’s ongoing ICRs revealed no duplication of
information-gathering efforts.

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

	This section is not applicable because this is a rule-related ICR.

(c)	Consultations.

The proposed amendments were developed in consultation with individual
companies, State agencies, and trade associations.  The non-EPA persons
consulted on the information collection activities are identified in
Table 1.

(d)	Effects of Less Frequent Collection.

	If the relevant information was collected less frequently, the
delegated permitting authority (State or EPA) will not be reasonably
assured that a facility is in compliance with the standards.

(e)	General Guidelines.

	None of the guidelines in 5 CFR 1320.6 are being exceeded.

(f)	Confidentiality.

	All information submitted to the Agency for which a claim of
confidentiality is made will be safeguarded according to the Agency
policies set forth in Title 40, Chapter 1, Part 2, Subpart
B--Confidentiality of Business Information (see 40 CFR 2; 41 FR 36902,
September 1, 1976; amended by 43 FR 39999, September 28, 1978; 43 FR
42251, September 28, 1978; 44 FR 17674, March 23, 1979).

(g)  	Sensitive Questions.

	This section is not applicable because this ICR does not involve
matters of a sensitive nature.

4.	The Respondents and the Information Requested

(a)	Respondents/NAICS Codes.

Potential respondents under subpart DDD are owners or operators of any
existing or new facility engaged in mineral wool production operations.
Mineral wool production facilities are primarily classified under NAICS
code 327993, Mineral Wool Manufacturing.

There are an estimated 7 facilities that would be subject to the
proposed amendments to the NESHAP.  No new mineral wool production
sources are expected during the 3year period of this ICR.

 (b) Information Requested.

	(i)  Data Items, Including Recordkeeping Requirements.  Attachment 1,
Information Requirements, summarizes the data items, including
recordkeeping and reporting requirements, for the Mineral Wool
Production source category.

	(ii)  Respondent Activities.  The respondent activities that will be
required by the proposed amendments to the Mineral Wool Production
NESHAP are identified in Table 3 and are introduced in section 6(a).

(iii) Summary of Requirements. EPA is including in Table 2 an estimate
of the burden associated with performing an affirmative defense. EPA is
providing this as an illustrative example of the potential additional
administrative burden a source may incur to assert in an Affirmative
Defense in response to an action to enforce the standards set forth in
the applicable subpart.

This illustrative estimate is not considered a duplicate estimate of
cost under the General Duty to Minimize Emissions clause under
63.6(e)(1)(i), which states:  “At all times, the owner and operator
must operate and maintain any affected source, including associated air
pollution control equipment and monitoring equipment, in a manner
consistent with safety and good air pollution control practices for
minimizing emissions. Determining whether such operation and maintenance
procedures are being used will be based on information available to the
Administrator which may include, but is not limited to, monitoring
results, review of operation and maintenance procedures, review of
operation and maintenance records, and inspection of the source.”

To provide the public with an estimate of the relative magnitude of the
burden associated with an assertion of the affirmative defense position
adopted by a source, EPA provides an administrative adjustment to this
ICR that estimates the costs of the notification, recordkeeping and
reporting requirements associated with the assertion of the affirmative
defense.  EPA’s estimate for the required notification, reports and
records, including the root cause analysis, associated with a single
incident totals approximately $3,141 and is based on the time and effort
required of a source to review relevant data, interview plant employees,
and document the events surrounding a malfunction that has caused an
exceedance of an emission limit. The estimate also includes time to
produce and retain the records and reports for submission to EPA.  EPA
provides this illustrative estimate of this burden because these costs
are only incurred if there has been a violation and a source chooses to
take advantage of the affirmative defense.

 In this source category, it is unlikely that a control device
malfunction would cause an exceedence of any emission limit.  For
reasons explained in the FRN, we have asserted that although a cost for
affirmative defense is possible, we believe that malfunctions are
unlikely. Thus for these source categories, EPA is not assigning any
burden associated with affirmative defense.

5.	The Information Collected–Agency Activities, Collection
Methodology, and Information Management

(a)	Agency Activities.

	The Agency activities associated with the proposed amendments to the
Mineral Wool Production NESHAP are provided in Table 4 and are
introduced in section 6(c).

(b)	Collection Methodology and Management.

	Data and records maintained by the respondents are tabulated and
published for use in compliance and enforcement programs of the
delegated permitting authority.  EPA is the permitting authority until
the State agency is delegated authority to implement the final
amendments to the rule.  Therefore, information contained in any report
submitted to the Regional Administrator will be entered into the Air
Facility System (AFS), which is operated and maintained by EPA’s
Office of Compliance.  AFS is EPA’s database for the collection,
maintenance, and retrieval of compliance data for approximately 125,000
industrial and government-owned facilities.  EPA uses the AFS for
tracking air pollution compliance and enforcement by local and state
regulatory agencies, EPA regional offices and EPA headquarters.  EPA and
its delegated authorities can edit, store, retrieve and analyze the
data.

(c)  	Small Entity Flexibility.

	The Small Business Administration defines a small entity engaging in
mineral wool production operations as a firm having no more than 500
employees.  There are six companies operating the 7 mineral wool
production facilities and five of the six companies are small
businesses.  The proposed amendments would result in significant adverse
impacts on one of the small entities; EPA estimates that one producer
will experience an annualized cost of greater than six percent of their
revenue in the Mineral Wool Production source category.  The impacts to
most producers affected by this proposed rule are annualized costs of
less than one percent of their revenues using the most current year
available for revenue data.  The proposed amendments would and create
new requirements for compliance testing for existing sources and
associated notification requirements, recordkeeping, and reporting
requirements.

(d)  	Collection Schedule.

	The specific frequency for each information collection activity within
this request is shown in Table 3 for the Mineral Wool Production Source
Category.

6.   	Estimating the Burden and Cost of the Collection

(a)  	Estimating Respondent Burden.

	The annual burden estimates for the proposed amendments to the Mineral
Wool Production NESHAP are shown in Table 3.  These numbers were derived
from estimates based on EPA’s experience with other standards.  No
burden estimates are provided for new sources because no new facilities
are expected to become affected sources during the 3year period of this
ICR.

(b)  	Estimating Respondent Costs.

	The information collection activities for the proposed amendments to
the Mineral Wool Production NESHAP are presented in Table 3.  Because
the data are already collected by respondents as part of normal
operations, no respondent development costs are associated with the
information collection activities.

(i)  Estimating Labor Costs.  Labor rates and associated costs are based
on Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) data.  Technical, management, and
clerical average hourly rates for private industry workers were taken
from the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics,
Occupational Employment and Wages, May 2010 available at   HYPERLINK
"http://www.bls.gov/oes/current/naics4_327200.htm"
http://www.bls.gov/oes/current/naics4_327200.htm .   Wages for technical
labor are based on "Glass and Glass Product Manufacturing –
architectural and engineering," with a total compensation of
$36.97/hour.  Wages for management labor are taken from "Glass and Glass
Product Manufacturing – management, business, and financial," with a
total compensation of $47.38/hour.   Wages for clerical labor are based
on "Glass and Glass Product Manufacturing – production, planning, and
expediting clerks," with a total compensation of $20.36/hour.  These
rates represent salaries plus fringe benefits and do not include the
cost of overhead.  An overhead rate of 110 percent is used to account
for these costs.  The fully-burdened hourly wage rates used to represent
respondent labor costs are:  technical at $77.64 /hour, management at
$99.50 /hour, and clerical at $42.76 /hour.

	(ii)  Estimating Capital and Operations and Maintenance (O&M) Costs.
No capital costs or O & M costs are associated with the information
collection requirements of the proposed amendments to the Mineral Wool
Production NESHAP.  The proposed amendments would require affected
facilities to purchase new monitoring systems and conduct new
performance testing.

	(iii)  Annualizing Capital Costs.  No capital costs associated with the
information collection requirements of the proposed amendments to the
Mineral Wool Production NESHAP.

(iv) Affirmative Defense/Root Cause Analysis/Malfunction Costs. EPA’s
estimate for a root cause analysis is based on general experience to
calculate the time and effort required of a source to review relevant
data, interview plant employees, and reconstruct the events prior to a
malfunction in order to determine primary and contributing causes.  The
level of effort also includes time to produce and retain the report in
document form so that the source will have it available should EPA or
state enforcement agencies ever request to review it.

$3,141

  (c)  	Estimating Agency Burden and Cost.

	Because the information collection requirements were developed as an
incidental part of standards development, no costs can be attributed to
the development of the information collection requirements.  Because
reporting and recordkeeping requirements on the part of the respondents
are required under the operating permits rules in 40 CFR part 70 or part
71 and the part 63 NESHAP General Provisions, no operational costs will
be incurred by the Federal Government.  Publication and distribution of
the information are part of the Compliance Data System, with the result
that no Federal costs can be directly attributed to the ICR.
Examination of records to be maintained by the respondents will occur
incidentally as part of the periodic inspection of sources that is part
of EPA’s overall compliance and enforcement program, and, therefore,
is not attributable to the ICR.  The only costs that the Federal
government will incur are user costs associated with the analysis of the
reported information, as presented in Table 4.

	The Agency labor rates are from the Office of Personnel Management
(OPM) 2010 General Schedule, which excludes locality rates of pay.
These rates can be obtained from Salary Table 2010-GS available on the
OPM website,   HYPERLINK "http://www.opm.gov/oca/10tables/pdf/gs_h.pdf"
http://www.opm.gov/oca/10tables/pdf/gs_h.pdf . The government employee
labor rates are $15.63/hour for clerical (GS-6, Step 3), $28.88 for
technical (GS-12, Step 1), and $38.92/hr for management (GS-13, Step 5).
 These rates were increased by 60 percent to include fringe benefits and
overhead.  The fully-burdened wage rates used to represent Agency labor
costs are:  clerical at $25.01/hour; technical at $46.21/hour, and
management at $62.27/hour.

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

There are an estimated 7 existing facilities that are subject to the
Mineral Wool Production NESHAP.  No new sources are expected during the
next 3 years.  Consequently, the average number of mineral wool
respondents during the 3-year period of this ICR is 2.33.

For the proposed amendments to the Mineral Wool Production NESHAP, the
components of the total annual burden attributable to this ICR include
reading the amendments to the NESHAP; conducting the performance testing
to demonstrate compliance with the proposed emission limits; and
reporting the results of those emissions tests; all other recordkeeping
and reporting activities are already accounted for in the ICR for the
NESHAP.

(e)	Bottom Line Burden Hours and Cost Tables.

(i)  Respondent tally.  The bottom line respondent burden hours and
costs, presented in Table 3 are calculated by adding person-hours per
year down each column for technical, managerial, and clerical staff, and
by adding down the cost column.  The average annual burden for the
recordkeeping and reporting requirements in the proposed amendments to
subpart DDD for the 7 existing facilities that are subject to the
Mineral Wool Production NESHAP is 106.5 person-hours, with an annual
average cost of $85,348.  No capital costs would be expected for the
proposed amendments.

	(ii)  The Agency tally.  The average annual Federal Government cost is
$970 for 21.5 hours for the proposed amendments to subpart DDD.  The
bottom line Agency burden hours and costs presented in Table 4 are
calculated by adding person-hours per year down each column for
technical, managerial, and clerical staff, and by adding down the cost
column.

	(iii)  Variations in the annual bottom line.  This section does not
apply since no significant variation is anticipated.

(f)	Reasons for Change in Burden.

EPA provides an adjustment to this ICR that estimates the costs of the
notification, recordkeeping and reporting requirements associated with
the assertion of the affirmative defense.  EPA’s estimate for the
required notification, reports and records, including the root cause
analysis, associated with a single incident totals approximately [
$3,141 ] and is based on the time and effort required of a source to
review relevant data, interview plant employees, and document the events
surrounding a malfunction that has caused an exceedance of an emission
limit. The estimate also includes time to produce and retain the records
and reports for submission to EPA.

For the purpose of estimating the annual burden in this category, EPA is
attributing no instances of affirmative defense.  The costs below are
illustrative of affirmative defense, which we see sources having no need
for, given the technical reasons explained in the FRN.

(g)  	Burden Statement

	The average annual respondent burden for the proposed amendments to the
Mineral Wool Production NESHAP is estimated at 46 hours per facility.

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 in 40 CFR part 63 are listed in 40 CFR part 9.

	To comment on the Agency’s need for this information the accuracy of
the provided burden estimates, and any suggestions for minimizing
respondent burden, including through the use of automated collection
techniques, EPA has established a public docket for this ICR under
Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-OAR-2010-1041, which is available for online

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

General Information

    EPA proposes to create a new system of records under the Privacy
Act to enhance the Agency's communication and collaboration
environment. EPA is implementing My Workplace, utilizing Microsoft
Office 365 and SharePoint Online, to deliver a cost effective, user-
friendly, agency-wide collaboration solution that will help transform
the way employees work at EPA. My Workplace will enhance productivity
by making it easier for the Agency's multi-disciplinary, geographically
dispersed workforce stay better informed by facilitating communication,
coordination, collaboration and innovation, thus allowing EPA to
deliver better on its mission of protecting human health and the
environment.
    The My Workplace collaboration tool will contain information about
employees obtained from other Agency systems (e.g., name, user id, work
phone number) or voluntarily provided by the users (e.g., home phone
number, home address). The system will contain employees' names, user
identification numbers, telephone numbers, office numbers and
locations, organizational information, skill sets, education and
experience. This information will be used to foster communication and
enhance the ability of employees to locate individuals with relevant
experience and skill sets.
    EPA plans to use a feature of the system that consists of
personalized profiles for each employee as an Agency directory to help
connect subject matter experts to Agency projects. The profiles will
include work-related information (office location, office phone number)
as well as optional information voluntarily provided by the employee
such as work experience and educational history or photographs. The use
of the profile will improve information sharing and collaboration among
colleagues and make it easier for EPA staff to locate the knowledge
skills and abilities required for Agency projects and initiatives.
    My Workplace will use Lync, an instant messaging and video
conferencing tool, to promote discussion and communication through
instant messaging and online meetings. Lync will include the
information contained in the personalized profiles and will temporarily
display additional information about a user's presence or status, based
on the user's online activity, (e.g., ``user has been away for 20
minutes''). This feature is active by default, but users may disable
it. Users will also have the option of posting a personalized status
message for other users to see on their profile. The information for
both Lync and the personalized profiles will be stored in Microsoft's
Shared Government Cloud and will be accessible by users of the system.
Initial profile information will be populated using EPA's existing
directory information; however, users will have the ability to update
and manage their profiles.
    My Workplace will allow users to establish team collaboration
workspaces; facilitate sharing of documents, policies and information;
and network through the SharePoint features. The SharePoint environment
will include Agency policies, procedures, forms, organization charts,
links to other sites that are helpful for users, and links to other EPA
SharePoint sites containing shared documents and other information.
Sharepoint will include content on program and regional offices,
services and support,

and projects and activities. My Workplace will include a directory of
all users, including contact information, titles and professional
business information. Users will be able to set up a personal profile,
upload pictures, and publish content and messages that are similar to
email. My Workplace will also allow employees to join groups, connect
with colleagues, receive newsfeeds when new information is posted, and
identify colleagues with specialized knowledge and/or expertise to
participate in collaborative efforts. Employees will also be able to
use their profiles to apply to participate on virtual collaboration
projects and teams.
    The system will be managed and maintained by EPA's Office of
Environmental Information.

                        INFORMATION COLLECTION REQUEST
	SUPPORTING STATEMENT
                        ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
  Federal Supplier (Small Business) Greenhouse Gas Inventory Pilot (Renewal)

1.	IDENTIFICATION OF THE INFORMATION COLLECTION REQUEST
      1(a)	Title of the Information Collection
      Federal Supplier (Small Business) Greenhouse Gas Inventory Pilot (Renewal), EPA ICR No. 2100.05, OMB Control No. 2060-0532.
      1(b)	Short Characterization/Abstract
      On September 30, 2011, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency officially ended its Climate Leaders program. One element of the Climate Leaders program was the Small Business Network (SBN) which offered small businesses tools and resources to assist them with managing and reducing their GHG emissions. In direct response to E.O. 13514, EPA and the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) utilized the Climate Leaders SBN as the foundation to launch the Federal Supplier Greenhouse Gas Emissions Inventory Pilot ("the Pilot") in August 2010 to assess the benefits and challenges experienced by small businesses in completing and reporting a GHG emissions inventory. The Pilot is a voluntary, three-year program in which small businesses are required to develop annual GHG emissions inventories through September 2013. The small businesses are also required to develop and implement GHG emissions reductions strategies and review their progress towards meeting their reduction goals and the associated benefits. Through this interagency agreement, EPA continues to support the Pilot with education and technical assistance. EPA has developed this renewal ICR to ensure that the Pilot remains credible by obtaining continued authorization to collect information from its participants to ensure that they are meeting their GHG goals. Companies that joined the Pilot voluntarily agree to the following: setting a corporate GHG reduction goal; submitting a GHG inventory management plan; reporting to the EPA on an annual basis the company's GHG emissions inventory and progress toward their GHG reduction goal via the Annual GHG Inventory Summary and Goal Tracking Form. The information contained in the inventories of the companies that participate in the Pilot may be considered confidential business information and is maintained as such. EPA uses the data obtained from the companies to assess the success of the Pilot in achieving its goals and to identify the type of outreach, training, and other direct assistance and incentives that will help small business federal suppliers meet the objectives of E.O. 13514. Responses to the information collection are voluntary. This ICR provides a comprehensive description of the information collections under what formerly was the Climate Leaders program. Sections 1 through 5 of this ICR describe the specific information collections (e.g., from the standpoint of need, use, and respondent activities). In Section 6, EPA estimates the annual hour and cost burden to respondents and the Agency under these collections.

2.	NEED FOR AND USE OF THE COLLECTION

     2(a)	Need/Authority for the Collection
     In an effort to mitigate global climate change, the President announced a Climate Change Strategy on February 14, 2002, wherein he set a national U.S. GHG intensity goal of 18 percent by 2012. Part of that strategy challenges companies to set GHG emissions reduction goals by working with EPA through the Climate Leaders program. After the end of the Climate Leaders program in September 2011, EPA continues to support the Federal Supplier Greenhouse Gas Emissions Inventory Pilot ("the Pilot"). EPA also provides technical assistance to companies participating in the Pilot to help them develop a company-specific Inventory Management Plan, base year GHG inventory, corporate-wide GHG reduction goal and subsequent year corporate GHG inventories using the Annual GHG Inventory Summary and Goal Tracking Form. Participating companies report their GHG inventory to EPA annually, which allows EPA to evaluate the Pilot participant's progress and performance and to assess overall program results.  This GHG inventory data and supporting documentation collected through this Partnership provides the necessary level of detail for accurately measuring each company's contribution towards reducing GHG emissions.

     2(b)	Practical Utility/Users of the Data
     EPA uses information submitted in the Inventory Management Plans to assure that the Pilot participant's GHG inventory is of sufficient quality for recognition in the Pilot and to provide technical assistance and example plans to other participants that are developing their own GHG management strategies. EPA uses information submitted in the Annual GHG Inventory Summary and Goal Tracking Form to accurately monitor the progress of Pilot participants in reducing GHG emissions, in order to provide them with credible public recognition when they meet or exceed their goal.

3.	NONDUPLICATION, CONSULTATIONS, AND OTHER COLLECTION CRITERIA

	3(a)	Nonduplication
      In order to maintain the reputable standing of the voluntary Pilot, and credibly discuss participating companies as "leaders" in reducing emissions of GHGs, the data collected under this ICR is very specific to each Pilot participant's GHG inventory and is subject to a rigorous review process.  The information to be obtained under this ICR has not been collected by EPA or any other Federal agency, nor is it available from any other source.

      3(b)	Public Notice Required Prior to ICR Submission to OMB
      In compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (PRA), EPA issued a public notice in the Federal Register on November 30, 2011 (76 FR 74053). No comments were received.

      3(c)	Consultations
      EPA followed the approved method of consultations with Pilot participants to obtain their views on this method of data collection and burden estimate.  Various participants provided their input, which, along with the previously obtained data from Climate Leaders Partners, was used to estimate the burdens of this Information Collection Request.  EPA provided the participants with a list of reporting requirements for the Pilot and asked them to estimate the associated hourly labor burden.  Labor wage rates from the previous Information Collection Request were provided for reference, and EPA requested comments on whether these labor rates were appropriate.  The participants provided hourly estimates for each activity and either provided labor rates or indicated that the labor rates from the initial ICR were representative.  Generally, the estimates provided by the participants were consistent with EPA expectations of the labor burden.

      3(d)	Effects of Less Frequent Collection
      The development of an Inventory Management Plan and GHG emissions reduction goal are one-time information submittals from companies that choose to become Pilot participants. EPA also asks Pilot participants to prepare and submit the Annual GHG Inventory Summary and Goal Tracking Form. EPA believes that any reduction in the frequency of this information collection would impede efforts by EPA to evaluate results of the program and to provide credible public recognition. Further, since this is a voluntary program, ongoing evaluation of results is critical to the program's success.

      3(e)	General Guidelines
      This information collection request was prepared in compliance with OMB's implementing regulations and EPA's guidelines for ICR preparation.

      3(f)	Confidentiality
      Participation in the Pilot is voluntary. Additionally, for this Pilot EPA focuses its information collection at the corporate level and does not retain records of facility specific data.  For Pilot participants that are concerned about data confidentiality, EPA will consider proposals to review sensitive data via a web-based data platform to ensure credibility. Another alternative that EPA offers Pilot participants is to have a third party conduct a credible GHG inventory audit and provide that audit to EPA for review. EPA will not make company- or agency-specific information that is collected under this ICR and that is claimed as confidential business information (CBI) available to the general public without a Pilot participant's permission, except in accordance with EPA's CBI regulations at 40 CFR, Part 2, subpart B. If a Pilot participant asserts a claim of confidentiality covering all or part of the information collections covered in this ICR, EPA must and will treat the information in accordance with these regulations. EPA will also ensure that the information collections comply with the Privacy Act of 1974 and OMB Circular 108.

      3(g)	Sensitive Questions
      No questions of a sensitive nature are asked in the Inventory Management Plan or Annual GHG Inventory Summary and Goal Tracking Form.

      4(b)	Information Requested
      Pilot participants are required to develop and submit an Inventory Management Plan, base year inventory, and work to develop a GHG emissions reduction goal. In order to measure the progress toward meeting the GHG reduction goals, Pilot participants also complete and submit the Annual GHG Inventory Summary and Goal Tracking Form. This form documents a Pilot participant's GHG emissions during the past year.  Each information collection activity is described below. EPA provides a variety of forms of technical assistance to help Partners complete their Reporting Forms, including assistance filling out the forms and assistance using electronic tools such as spreadsheets.

	(1)	Annual GHG Inventory Summary and Goal Tracking Form
	In order to assist the Agency in evaluating whether Partners are on track to meet their GHG reduction targets, EPA asks Pilot participants to update the base year inventory each subsequent year with the Annual GHG Inventory Summary and Goal Tracking Form.
	(i)	Data items, including record keeping requirements. Partners provide the following information to EPA.
               # For all categories of base year data entered, input the annual emission values for the current year inventory
               # New source categories and corresponding emissions, as necessary
               # If the inventory is re-baselined, the new base year estimate
               # Number of times the base year data has been adjusted since the first inventory submittal year with an explanation of each adjustment
               # Description of any changes in calculation methodologies or any other significant differences from the previous year data submittal to EPA
               # Year of inventory represented and the date the form was completed

      (ii)	Respondent activities. In completing subsequent years of the Annual GHG Inventory Summary and Goal Tracking Form, Pilot participants perform the following activities.
            #             Collect and calculate annual GHG emissions data
            #             Submit to EPA for review
      (2)	Additional Activities
	During participation in the program, Pilot participants may be requested to notify EPA of any change, such as a change in Company Representative.
      	(i)	Data items, including record-keeping requirements. Pilot participants provide the following information to EPA.
               # Changes in information, such as the name of a new company representative or change in address
            (ii)	Respondent activities. In updating information, Pilot participants perform the following activity
               # Provide EPA with new information, such as the name of a new liaison or change in address via e-mail or phone

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

      5(a)	Agency Activities
      This section discusses the forms and associated Agency activities under the Federal Supplier Greenhouse Gas Emissions Inventory Pilot.

	(1)	Annual GHG Inventory Summary and Goal Tracking Form
         # Receive, review, and enter updated information from spreadsheet form into database.

      (2)	Additional Activities
         # Enter revised contact or profile information updates submitted by Pilot participants through e-mail.

      5(b)	Collection Methodology and Management
      The methods selected for this information collection are chosen based on efficiency and minimization of burden for respondents and EPA. Resources for developing Inventory Management Plans, calculating a base year inventory, setting a GHG emissions reduction goal, and completing the Annual GHG Inventory Summary and Goal Tracking Form can be downloaded from EPA's Corporate GHG Resources website (www.epa.gov/climateleaders). All of these reporting requirements are submitted to EPA electronically.
     For the annual inventory submission by the Pilot participants, EPA has developed an electronic spreadsheet (Annual GHG Inventory Summary and Goal Tracking Form), with detailed instructions and embedded macros and calculations in order to reduce the amount of data a Pilot participant must enter.  The Annual GHG Inventory Summary and Goal Tracking Forms are submitted to EPA electronically. All information received through the forms will be reviewed by EPA for accuracy and completeness before being entered into the database,

      5(c)	Small Entity Flexibility
      The Pilot was designed solely for smaller companies, and EPA has created reporting forms to minimize respondent burden while obtaining sufficient and accurate information. The Pilot program was designed to be highly flexible, and the hourly burden estimates for reporting requirements under the Pilot will be lessened due to the less complex structure of GHG emissions inventories at small entities. As discussed above, EPA provides technical assistance to participants and facilitates electronic submittal of information.  In conclusion, the burden associated with the Pilot is inherently reduced, since the agreement to participate is voluntary.

      5(d)	Collection Schedule
      EPA collects information annually via the Annual GHG Inventory Summary and Goal Tracking Form to monitor progress towards the GHG emissions reduction goal. Finally, EPA may collect other program information on a periodic basis or as the information is submitted; these items include notification of changes such as company representative or address.

6.	ESTIMATING THE BURDEN AND COST OF THE COLLECTION

      6(a)	Estimating Respondent Burden
      In order to obtain an accurate cost estimate, EPA consulted with and obtained
burden estimates from Pilot participants (respondents) as well as using anecdotal data from the Climate Leaders Partnership.

      6(b)	Estimating Respondent Costs
      In order to obtain an accurate cost estimate, EPA consulted with Pilot participants (respondents) as well as using anecdotal data from the Climate Leaders Partnership on hourly wage rates for each type of labor. EPA presented these participants with hourly wage rates from the previous ICR and asked them if these rates were still appropriate, and if not, to include an estimate of a revised hourly rate.

      (i)	Estimating Labor Costs
      For purposes of this analysis, EPA estimates an average hourly respondent labor cost
(including fringe and overhead) of $109 for legal staff, $98 for managerial staff, $94 for
technical staff and $47 for clerical staff.

      (ii)	Estimating Capital and Operations and Maintenance Costs
      Capital costs usually include any produced physical good needed to provide the needed information, such as machinery, computers, and other equipment. EPA does not anticipate that respondents will incur capital costs in carrying out the information collection requirements covered in this ICR.

      (iii)	Capital/Start-Up Operating and Maintenance (O&M) Costs
      O&M costs are those costs associated with a paperwork requirement incurred continually over the life of the ICR. They are defined by the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 as "the recurring dollar amount of cost associated with O&M or purchasing services."  For this ICR, EPA does not anticipate that respondents will incur any costs.

      (iv)	Annualizing Capital Costs
      There are no capital costs associated with this information collection.

      6(c)	Estimating Agency Burden and Cost
      EPA's estimate of the Agency hour and cost burden associated with all of the requirements covered in this ICR is summarized in Exhibit 2. EPA estimates an average hourly labor cost (labor plus 60% for overhead) of $86.86 for legal staff, $86.86 for managerial staff, $46.36 for technical staff, and $21.10 for clerical staff. To derive these hourly estimates, EPA used the "2011 GS Salary Table of Annual Rates by Grade and Step," from the Department of Personnel Management. For purposes of this ICR, EPA assigned staff the following government service levels.

      Legal Staff - GS-15, Step 5
      Managerial Staff - GS-15, Step 5
      Technical Staff - GS-12, Step 1
      Clerical Staff - GS-5, Step 1

EPA then divided annual compensation estimates by 2,080, which is the number of hours in the Federal work-year.  EPA then multiplied hourly rates by the standard Federal government overhead factor of 1.6.
      EPA also estimated an average hourly labor rate of $147.00 (including overhead) for technical labor from EPA contractor staff. To derive these hourly estimates, EPA examined the technical work performed by contractors and estimated an hourly rate for GHG inventory assistance activities based on an average of the fully-loaded labor rates from the contractor invoices on the current contract.

      6(d) 	Estimating the Respondent Universe and Total Burden and Costs
      (1)	Respondent Universe
      Table 1 presents the number of companies expected to participate in the program over the three-year period of this ICR. At the beginning of 2012, EPA had 46 enrolled Pilot participants.

Table 1:  Number of Respondents Expected to Participate in the Pilot Over the Three-Year Period of the ICR

                              Type of Respondent

                                      31

      In the following paragraphs, EPA uses these respondent universe estimates in its respondent hour and cost burden calculations.

      (2)	Annual Respondent Hour and Cost Burden
      Based on the respondent universe data presented in Table 1, EPA estimates respondent burden associated with all of the requirements covered in this ICR in Exhibit 1. A discussion of the assumptions used in developing these burden estimates are detailed below and in the footnotes of Exhibit 1.

	(i)	Annual GHG Inventory and Goal Tracking Form.  For each subsequent year of reporting to the base year inventory, Pilot participants must update this form with their current year GHG inventory data and make any corrections to the contact information or revised goal or base year information. Based on the projected number Pilot participants, EPA estimates that all 46 Partners will make updates to their subsequent year inventories each year.

      (ii)	Miscellaneous Activities. As needed, participants should submit updated contact information. These updates would notify EPA of a change such as a new Partner representative or address change. EPA estimates that approximately 10 percent of participants, or on average 5 Pilot participants, will submit this update each year.

      6(e)	Bottom Line Burden Hours and Cost Tables
      (i)	Respondent Tally
      Exhibit 1 shows the aggregate annual hour and cost burden to respondents. As shown in the exhibit, EPA estimates the annual respondent burden to be 966 hours and $90,804.

      (ii)	Agency Tally
      As is shown in Exhibit 2, the annual Agency hour and cost burden associated with all the requirements covered in this ICR is estimated to be 690 hours and $92,184.

      (iii)	Variations in the Annual Bottom Line
      EPA anticipates minimal variation in the annual respondent reporting/recordkeeping burden over the three-year period covered by this ICR.

      6(f)	Reasons for Change in Burden
	The previously approved ICR estimated the annual hourly burden for respondents to be 19,636.  This renewal estimates the annual hourly burden for respondents to be 966 hours.  This is a difference of 18,670 hours.  This decrease reflects EPA's phase down of the Climate Leaders program on September 30, 2011.  As a result, the number of respondents included in this ICR decreased to include only those 46 small businesses participating in the joint EPA-GSA Federal Supplier Greenhouse Gas Emissions Inventory Pilot.

      The burden outlined below for the information collection envisioned under this ICR is necessary to help EPA determine that the Pilot participants merit recognition as corporate leaders in GHG reduction and to determine whether the Pilot is achieving its goals. The activities undertaken by Pilot participants are anticipated to offset some of this burden as they identify new emission reduction opportunities that result in savings to the company through, for example, enhanced energy efficiency.

      6(g)	Burden Statement
	Burden Statement:  The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to be 31 hours per year per response.  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 docket for this ICR under Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-OAR-2011-0940, which is available for online viewing at www.regulations.gov, or in person viewing at the Air and Radiation Docket in the EPA Docket Center (EPA/DC), EPA West Building, Room 3334, 1301 Constitution Ave., NW, Washington, DC. The EPA/DC Public Reading Room is open from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding legal holidays. The telephone number for the Reading Room is<PHONE_NUMBER>, and the telephone number for the Air and Radiation Docket Center is<PHONE_NUMBER>.
	An electronic version of the public docket is available at www.regulations.gov.
