Discussion

    We are issuing this AD to publish EAD No. 2013-06-51, issued on
March 25, 2013, which was for helicopter models with certain part-
numbered and serial-numbered Goodrich externally-mounted hoists. EAD
No. 2013-06-51 was prompted by an incident that occurred during a
maintenance check of a rescue hoist that lost the ability to hold the
load at maximum rated capacity, causing the test load to strike the
ground. A Eurocopter Deutschland GmbH (ECD) Model MBB-BK 117 C-2
helicopter picked up a dummy load of 552 lbs. to conduct a ``maximum
load cycle'' on the rescue hoist. Initially, the cable reeled out and
stopped as commanded by the winch operator; however, the cable
continued to reel-out without further command by the winch operator,
causing the dummy load to strike the ground. Examination of the
affected hoist determined that the overload clutch had failed. EAD No.
2013-06-51 requires performing a cable conditioning lift, performing a
load inspection test, and recording the results on the hoist component
history card or equivalent record. The actions of EAD No. 2013-06-51
were intended to detect conditions that may result in failure of the
hoist and injury to persons being lifted.
    EAD No. 2013-06-51 was prompted by AD No. 2013-0065-E, issued March
14, 2013 (2013-0065-E), and superseded with AD No. 2013-0077-E, issued
March 22, 2013, by the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which is
the Technical Agent for the Member States of the European Union. EASA
issued AD 2013-0065-E to correct an unsafe condition for helicopters
with certain part-numbered and serial-numbered Goodrich hoists
installed. EASA advised of the report that an ECD Model MBB-BK 117 C-2
helicopter experienced an incident of its rescue hoist containing a
dummy load of 552 lbs. that reeled-out without command of the operator
and impacted the ground during a maintenance check flight. Examination
of the affected hoist determined that the overload clutch had failed.
The overload clutch design is common to many Goodrich externally-
mounted rescue hoists installed on the applicable model helicopters.
EASA further stated its AD action is considered an interim action and
further AD action may follow.
    Since we issued EAD No. 2013-06-51, EASA revised its AD with EASA
AD No. 2013-0077R1, dated March 27, 2013 (2013-0077R1). In issuing AD
No. 2013-0077R1, EASA changed the initial compliance time, reduced the
applicability of certain model helicopters for which no EASA approvals
of the hoist installation are known, and partially adopted FAA EAD

No. 2013-06-51 for those helicopter models for which the FAA is the
State of Design Authority. EASA continues to consider AD No. 2013-
0077R1 an interim action and further AD action may follow. You may view
EASA AD 2013-0077R1 at http://www.regulations.gov by searching for and
locating it in Docket No. FAA-2013-0521.
    In publishing this AD, we are retaining the applicability and
required actions of EAD No. 2013-06-51. As we have determined that the
MD Helicopters, Inc., Model MD900 helicopter is another model
helicopter on which an affected hoist may be installed, we are adding
that model helicopter to the applicability. This addition does not
increase the economic burden on any operator nor does it increase the
scope of the AD.

FAA's Determination

    These helicopters have been approved by the aviation authorities of
Canada, Italy, France, and Germany and are approved for operation in
the United States. Pursuant to our bilateral agreement with the
European countries, EASA, their technical representative, has notified
us of the unsafe condition described in the EASA AD. We are issuing
this AD because we evaluated all known relevant information and
determined the unsafe condition exists and is likely to exist or
develop on other helicopters of these same type designs.

Related Service Information

    Goodrich issued Alert Service Bulletin No. 44301-10-15, dated March
8, 2013 (ASB), for certain externally-mounted rescue hoists
manufactured by Goodrich Sensors & Integrated Systems. The ASB
specifies inspecting and performing an operational check of the hoist.
The ASB also specifies recording the performance in the hoist log and
reporting the results of the test to UTC Aerospace Systems.

AD Requirements

    This AD requires compliance with specified portions of the ASB to
do the following before the next flight involving a hoist operation:
     Performing a cable conditioning lift;
     Performing a load inspection test;
     Deactivating or replacing any hoist that fails the load
inspection test; and
     Recording the results of the load inspection test on the
hoist component history card or equivalent record.

Differences Between This AD and the EASA AD

    The EASA AD applies to specific model helicopters. This AD applies
to all helicopters with certain Goodrich hoists installed that are type
certificated in the U.S. This AD does not contain a requirement to
report results to the manufacturer. The EASA AD requires complying with
specific helicopter manufacturer ASBs, and this AD requires complying
with the Goodrich ASB for conducting the load inspection test.

Interim Action

    We consider this AD to be an interim action. Investigation of the
root cause of the clutch failure is ongoing. If final action is later
identified, we might consider further rulemaking.

Costs of Compliance

    We estimate that this AD will affect 1,378 helicopters of U.S.
Registry. We estimate that operators may incur the following costs in
order to comply with this AD. It will take about 1 work-hour to perform
the lift testing at an average labor rate of $85 per work-hour, for a
cost per helicopter of $85 and a total cost to U.S. operators of
$117,130. If necessary, replacing the hoist will take about 0.5 work-
hour and required parts will cost about $95,000, for a cost per
helicopter of about $95,043.

FAA's Justification and Determination of the Effective Date

    The short compliance time involved is required because risk
analysis of the previously described unsafe condition indicates that
failure of the hoist could result in serious injury or death if the
hoist is being used for human cargo. Subsequently, the required actions
must be performed before the next flight involving a hoist operation.
    Since it was found that immediate corrective action was required,
notice and opportunity for prior public comment before issuing this AD
were impracticable and contrary to the public interest and good cause
existed for making Emergency AD No. 2013-06-51 effective immediately on
March 25, 2013, to all known U.S. owners and operators of the specified
model helicopters. These conditions still exist and the AD is hereby
published, with a minor change, in the Federal Register as an amendment
to section 39.13 of the Federal Aviation Regulations (14 CFR 39.13) to
make it effective to all persons.

Authority for This Rulemaking

    Title 49 of the United States Code specifies the FAA's authority to
issue rules on aviation safety. Subtitle I, section 106, describes the
authority of the FAA Administrator. ``Subtitle VII: Aviation
Programs,'' describes in more detail the scope of the Agency's
authority.
    We are issuing this rulemaking under the authority described in
``Subtitle VII, Part A, Subpart III, Section 44701: General
requirements.'' Under that section, Congress charges the FAA with
promoting safe flight of civil aircraft in air commerce by prescribing
regulations for practices, methods, and procedures the Administrator
finds necessary for safety in air commerce. This regulation is within
the scope of that authority because it addresses an unsafe condition
that is likely to exist or develop on products identified in this
rulemaking action.

Regulatory Findings

    We determined that this AD will not have federalism implications
under Executive Order 13132. This AD will not have a substantial direct
effect 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.
    For the reasons discussed, I certify that this AD:
    1. Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under Executive Order
12866;
    2. Is not a ``significant rule'' under DOT Regulatory Policies and
Procedures (44 FR 11034, February 26, 1979);
    3. Will not affect intrastate aviation in Alaska to the extent that
it justifies making a regulatory distinction; and
    4. Will not have a significant economic impact, positive or
negative, on a substantial number of small entities under the criteria
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act.
    We prepared an economic evaluation of the estimated costs to comply
with this AD and placed it in the AD docket.

[Docket No. CP07-388-000]

Columbia Gas Transmission Corporation; Notice of Request Under
Blanket Authorization

June 4, 2007.
    Take notice that on May 21, 2007, and supplemented on June 1, 2007,
Columbia Gas Transmission Corporation (Columbia), 1700 MacCorkle
Avenue, Charleston, West Virginia 25314, filed in Docket No. CP07-388-
000, a prior notice request pursuant to sections 157.205 and 157.208 of
the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's regulations under the
Natural Gas Act for authorization to increase the maximum allowable
operating pressure (MAOP) of three of its existing transmission
pipelines, located in Guernsey County, Ohio, all as more fully set
forth in the application, which is on file with the Commission and open
to public inspection. The filing may also be viewed on the web 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 assistance, contact FERC at
<EMAIL_ADDRESS>or call toll-free,<PHONE_NUMBER> or TYY,

    Specifically, Columbia proposes to increase the MAOP on its Lines
O-1582, consisting of 2.1 miles of 2- and 6-inch diameter pipeline, O-
1441, consisting of 0.43 mile of 4- and 6-inch diameter pipeline, and a
portion of O-323, consisting of 2.03 miles of 3-, 4-, and 8-inch
diameter pipeline, from the current MAOP of 50 psig to a new MAOP of 99
psig and to operate the subject pipelines at the higher pressure.
Columbia states that the proposed uprate creates a capacity of 0.9
MMcf/d. Columbia asserts that the increase of the MAOP will allow
Columbia to maintain current firm contractual obligations, as well as
improve the efficient use of these facilities by increasing their
capacity potential via the higher operating pressures. Columbia does
not propose any pipeline construction or replacement as a result of the
proposed uprate.

40 CFR Part 52

[EPA-R03-OAR-2018-0722; FRL-9990-85-Region 3]

Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans;
Pennsylvania; Commercial Fuel Oil Sulfur Limits for Combustion Units in
Philadelphia County

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to
approve a state implementation plan (SIP) revision submitted by the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The revision updates Philadelphia
County's portion of the Pennsylvania SIP, which includes regulations
concerning sulfur content in fuel oil. This revision will implement
lower sulfur fuel oil provisions in the Philadelphia County that will
reduce the amount of sulfur in commercial fuel oils used in combustion
units which will aid in reducing sulfates that cause decreased
visibility. This revision will strengthen the Pennsylvania SIP. This
action is being taken under the Clean Air Act (CAA).

DATES: Written comments must be received on or before April 18, 2019.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID No. EPA-R03-
OAR-2018-0722 at http://www.regulations.gov, or via email to

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    On June 21, 2018, the City of Philadelphia, Air Management Services
(AMS) through the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection
(PADEP) submitted a formal revision to the Pennsylvania SIP. The SIP
revision consists of an amendment to 40 CFR 52.2020(c)(3), the
Philadelphia County portion of the SIP \1\, in order to implement
provisions for lower sulfur levels in commercial fuel oil in
Philadelphia County.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The Pennsylvania SIP is set forth at 40 CFR 52.2020(c), with
the Philadelphia portion of the Pennsylvania SIP located at 40 CFR
52.2020(c)(3).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Sulfur dioxide (SO2) emissions contribute to the
formation of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and sulfates in
the atmosphere, and subsequently to the formation of regional haze.
Regional haze is visibility impairing pollution that scatters and
absorbs light. The pollutants that cause visibility impairment come
from sources and activities that emit fine particles and their
precursors, SO2, PM2.5, nitrogen oxides
(NOX), and volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
    The June 21, 2018 SIP revision consists of amendments to the
Philadelphia County portion of the Pennsylvania SIP regarding
provisions for lower sulfur levels in fuel oil in Philadelphia that are
more stringent than the state-wide SIP-approved provisions.\2\ Since
1972, the Pennsylvania SIP has contained provisions limiting the amount
of sulfur allowable in fuel oils in Philadelphia County. In recent
years, amendments were made to Title 3 of the Philadelphia Code, the
Air Management Code (AMC) and to Air Management Regulation (AMR) III,
to lower the maximum allowable level of sulfur in number 2 and lighter
fuel oils, to impose more stringent levels on number 4 commercial fuel
oils, and to add exemption provisions relating to commercial fuel
oil.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \2\ The regulations in 25 Pa Code Section 123.22 established
statewide maximum allowable sulfur contents for certain fuel oil
types beginning July 1, 2016. 79 FR 39330 (July 10, 2014).
    \3\ On June 5, 2014, amendments were proposed to Section 3-207
of the AMC (relating to commercial fuel oil) to lower the maximum
allowable level of sulfur in number 2 and lighter commercial fuel
oils and impose more stringent levels on number 4 fuel oils. The
amendments were signed into law on July 15, 2014. Further amendments
to Section 3-207 of the AMC to add exemption provisions relating to
commercial fuel oil in a new subsection (c) were proposed on May 21,
2015 and subsequently signed into law, becoming effective on June
18, 2015. The Air Pollution Control Board (APCB) of Philadelphia's
Department of Health subsequently adopted amendments to Air
Management Regulation III (AMR III) implementing the changes to the
AMC. The regulatory amendments addressing the 2014 changes to the
AMC were adopted on March 19, 2015 and became effective on June 15,
2015. Re-proposed amendments to AMR III reflecting both the 2014 and
2015 changes to Section 3-207 of the AMC were adopted by the APCB on
October 14, 2015 and became effective on November 25, 2015.

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

    The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania (Commonwealth or Pennsylvania) has
now submitted the finalized amendments to Title 3 of the AMC and to AMR
III for inclusion into the Pennsylvania SIP.

II. Summary of SIP Revision and EPA Analysis

    Through its June 2018 SIP revision submittal, Pennsylvania seeks to
revise its SIP by including amendments to Section 3-207 of the AMC, as
well as Sections I, II, and III of AMR III (Control of Emissions of
Oxides and Sulfur Compounds). AMR III, Section I(A)(1)(a) lowers the
maximum allowable sulfur content in number 2 and lighter fuel oils from
0.2 percent (%) by weight (2000 parts per million (ppm)) to 0.0015% by
weight (15 ppm) and lowers the maximum allowable sulfur content in
number 4 fuel oils from 0.3% by weight (3000 ppm) to 0.25% by weight
(2500 ppm). In this proposed SIP revision, the maximum allowable sulfur
content for number 4 and heavier fuel oils is equal to, and the level
for number 2 and lighter fuel oils is more stringent than, the state-
wide levels set by Pennsylvania.
    AMR III, Section I(A)(1)(b) lowers the permissible SO2
emissions from the combustion of number 4 fuel oils from 0.30 pounds of
SO2 per Million BTU (lbs SO2/MMBtu) Fuel Gross
Heat Input to 0.26 lbs SO2/MMBtu Fuel Gross Heat Input. AMR
III Section I also adds paragraphs (c) through (f) allowing commercial
fuel oil stored by the ultimate consumer at its facility prior to the
applicable compliance date, July 1, 2015, to be used after that
applicable compliance date, if the fuel oil met the applicable maximum
allowable sulfur content at the time it was stored, provided that
certain conditions are met. One of those conditions are that there are
written records of the sulfur content of the fuel oils and that all of
the noncompliant fuel oil stored before July 1, 2015 is used before
July 1, 2020. The City of Philadelphia Department of Public Health (the
Department) reserves the authority to extend the July 1, 2020 deadline
in the case of a variety of circumstances included in the regulation.
Section II(A) of AMR III lowers the sulfur oxides emission limit to 0.4
ppm for any 5-minute period when measured a ground level. Section III
of AMR III adds provisions regarding exemptions for using noncompliant
fuel oil beyond July 1, 2020.
    The amendments to Section 3-207 of the AMC also adds an emergency
conditions provision. If delivery of compliant low sulfur fuel oil is
interrupted because of emergency conditions, the Department may
authorize the use of an alternative fuel supply, containing the least
amount of sulfur available, for a period not to exceed 30 days. Longer
periods of time may be authorized by the Department only after review
and recommendation are made by the Air Pollution Control Board.
    The state-wide Pennsylvania regulations in 25 Pa Code Section
123.22 established maximum allowable sulfur contents for certain fuel
oil types including provisions on sampling and recordkeeping
requirements in paragraphs (f) and (g) that apply statewide. The
September 26, 2018 letter from the City of Philadelphia included in the
docket for this SIP revision assures that those sampling and
recordkeeping provisions apply to Philadelphia and that they are
enforceable by the City of Philadelphia and that AMS has been delegated
authority to enforce the Pennsylvania Air Pollution Control Act, and
the Pennsylvania air pollution regulations thereunder, in Philadelphia.
35 P.S. Section 4012.
    The Commonwealth asserts that lowering the maximum allowable sulfur
content in commercial fuel oils combusted or sold in Philadelphia
County will aid in reducing SO2 emissions that are a cause
of regional haze. EPA proposes to approve these regulations to
strengthen Pennsylvania's SIP.

III. Proposed Action

    EPA has determined that Pennsylvania's proposed SIP revisions to 40
CFR 52.2020(c)(3), which incorporate amendments made to Section 3-207
of the AMC and Sections I, II, and III of AMR III, meet the SIP
revision requirements of the CAA. EPA is proposing to approve the June
21, 2018 Pennsylvania SIP revision which amends commercial fuel oil
sulfur limits for combustion and sale in Philadelphia County. EPA is
soliciting public comments on the issues discussed in this document.
These comments will be considered before taking final action.

IV. Incorporation by Reference

    In this document, EPA is proposing to include in a final EPA rule
regulatory text that includes incorporation by reference. In accordance
with requirements of 1 CFR 51.5, EPA is proposing to incorporate by
reference Philadelphia County's maximum allowable sulfur content in
commercial fuel oil regulation. EPA has made, and will continue to
make, these materials generally available through http://www.regulations.gov and at the EPA Region III Office (please contact
the person identified in the For Further Information Contact section of
this preamble for more information).

V. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    Under the CAA, the Administrator is required to approve a SIP
submission that complies with the provisions of the CAA and applicable
Federal regulations. 42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a). Thus, in
reviewing SIP submissions, EPA's role is to approve state choices,
provided that they meet the criteria of the CAA. Accordingly, this
action merely approves state law as meeting Federal requirements and
does not impose additional requirements beyond those imposed by state
law. For that reason, this proposed action:
     Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' subject to
review by the Office of Management and Budget under Executive Orders
12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993) and 13563 (76 FR 3821, January 21,
2011);
     Is not an Executive Order 13771 (82 FR 9339, February 2,
2017) regulatory action because SIP approvals are exempted under
Executive Order 12866.
     Does not impose an information collection burden under the
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.);
     Is certified as not having a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities under the Regulatory
Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.);
     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);
     Does not have federalism implications as specified in
Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999);
     Is not an economically significant regulatory action based
on health or

safety risks subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR 19885, April 23,
1997);
     Is not a significant regulatory action subject to
Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001);
     Is not subject to requirements of section 12(d) of the
National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272
note) because application of those requirements would be inconsistent
with the CAA; and
     Does not provide EPA with the discretionary authority to
address, as appropriate, disproportionate human health or environmental
effects, using practicable and legally permissible methods, under
Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).
    In addition, this rule regarding commercial fuel oil sulfur limits
for combustion and sale in Philadelphia County does not have tribal
implications as specified in Executive Order 13175, because the SIP is
not approved to apply in Indian Country located in the state, and EPA
notes that it will not impose substantial direct costs on tribal
governments or preempt tribal law. Thus, Executive Order 13175 does not
apply to this action.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    We are announcing the availability of a draft CPG entitled
``Compliance Policy Guide Sec. 100.101 Crotalaria spp. Seeds in
Grain.'' We previously provided guidance on Crotalaria spectabilis and
Crotalaria striata seeds in grains in a CPG entitled ``Compliance
Policy Guide 7126.15 Crotalaria Seeds in Grains and Feeds'' (CPG
7126.15), which we issued on December 1, 1980. We revoked CPG 7126.15
on July 22, 1994, because at the time we deemed the CPG to be no longer
relevant (59 FR 37498). However, because Crotalaria plants persist in
the agricultural environment and still present a potential public
health risk, we continue to monitor grains for the presence of
Crotalaria spp. seeds.
    We are making available the draft CPG because the revocation of CPG
7126.15 in 1994 inadvertently affected interactions between FDA and the
U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA's) Federal Grain Inspection
Service (FGIS). Under a Memorandum of Understanding between FDA and
USDA (MOU 225-80-2000; http://www.fda.gov/AboutFDA/PartnershipsCollaborations/MemorandaofUnderstandingMOUs/DomesticMOUs/ucm116312.htm), FGIS reports to FDA's district offices the results of
FGIS's analysis that may be actionable under the Federal Food, Drug,
and Cosmetic Act (the FD&C Act). FGIS has been using the CPG 7126.15
criteria for reporting their analytical results relating to Crotalaria
in grain to FDA.
    CPG 7126.25 established a regulatory action criterion of ``an
average of at least one whole seed of Crotalaria spectabilis and/or
Crotalaria striata per pound'' of grain. In developing the draft CPG,
we converted the unit of weight from pounds to kilograms because metric
units of measurement (e.g., kilograms) are generally used for
scientific calculations. The conversion from ``seeds per pound'' to
``seeds per kilogram'' resulted in 2.2 seeds per kilogram. Because the
analytical method is based on determining whole seeds, we rounded 2.2
to the nearest number of whole seeds (i.e., 2 whole seeds). The draft
CPG also refers to Crotalaria spp. seeds in grain instead of Crotalaria
spectabilis and Crotalaria striata because it is impracticable to
distinguish between Crotalaria seeds based on species. Thus, the draft
CPG states that FDA may regard grain that contains more than two whole
Crotalaria spp. seeds per one kilogram of grain to be adulterated
within the meaning of section 402(a)(1) of the FD&C Act (21 U.S.C.
342(a)(1)).
    The draft CPG is being made available consistent with FDA's good
guidance practices regulation (21 CFR 10.115). The draft CPG, when
finalized, will represent our current thinking on Crotalaria spp. seeds
in grains. It does not create or confer any rights for or on any person
and does not operate to bind FDA or the public. An alternate approach
may be used if such approach satisfies the requirements of the
applicable statutes and regulations.

II. Comments

    Interested persons may submit to the Division of Dockets Management
(see ADDRESSES) either electronic or written comments regarding the
draft CPG. It is only necessary to send one set of comments. Identify
comments with the docket number found in brackets in the heading of
this document. Received comments may be seen in the Division of Dockets
Management between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m., Monday through Friday and may be
posted to the docket at http://www.regulations.gov.

III. Electronic Access

    Persons with access to the Internet may obtain the draft CPG from
FDA's Office of Regulatory Affairs Compliance Policy Guide Revision/
Update History page. It may be accessed at http://www.fda.gov/ICECI/ComplianceManuals/CompliancePolicyGuidanceManual/default.htm or http://www.regulations.gov. Always access an FDA guidance document by using
FDA's Web site listed previously to find the most current version of
the guidance.

    Title: NSPS for Kraft Pulp Mills (Renewal).
    ICR numbers: EPA ICR Number 1055.08, OMB Control Number 2060-0021.
    ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on April 30, 2006.
Under OMB regulations, the Agency may continue to conduct or sponsor
the collection of information while this submission is pending at OMB.
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 title 40 of the CFR, after appearing in the Federal Register when
approved, are listed in 40 CFR part 9, are displayed either by
publication in the Federal Register or by other appropriate means, such
as on the related collection instrument or form, if applicable. The
display of OMB control numbers in certain EPA regulations is
consolidated in 40 CFR part 9.
    Abstract: Respondents are owners or operators of kraft pulp mills.
These standards apply to total reduced sulfur (TRS) and particulate
matter emissions from new, modified and reconstructed kraft pulp mills.
Owners or operators of the affected facilities described must make
initial reports when a source becomes subject, conduct and report on a
performance test, demonstrate and report on continuous monitor
performance, and maintain records of the occurrence and duration of any
startup, shutdown, or malfunction in the operation of an affected
facility. Semiannual reports of excess emissions are required. These
notifications,

reports, and records are essential in determining compliance; and are
required, in general, of all sources subject to New Source Performance
Standards (NSPS).
    Any owner or operator subject to the provisions of this part shall
maintain a file of these measurements, and retain the file for at least
two years following the date of such measurements, maintenance reports,
and records. All reports are sent to the delegated state or local
authority. In the event that there is no such delegated authority, the
reports are sent directly to the EPA regional office.
    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 are listed in 40 CFR part 9 and are identified on
the form and/or instrument, if applicable.
    Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 37
hours 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 which have subsequently changed; train
personnel to be able to respond to a collection of information; search
data sources; complete and review the collection of information; and
transmit or otherwise disclose the information.
    Respondents/Affected Entities: Owners or operators of kraft pulp
mills.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 100.
    Frequency of Response: Initially, Semiannually, On Occasion.
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 15,235.
    Estimated Total Annual Cost: $5,194,799, includes $344,900 capital/
startup costs and $3,620,000 annualized O&M costs, and $1,229,899
annual labor cost.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is an increase of 3,128 hours in
the total estimated burden currently identified in the OMB Inventory of
Approved ICR Burdens. This increase is due to an increase in the number
of kraft pulp mills that become subject to subpart BB, and an expansion
of the calculations to include managerial and clerical labor rates. The
increase in O&M costs is due to an increase in equipment maintenance
costs.
