SUPPORTING STATEMENT SECONDARY NON FERROUS METALS PROCESSING AREA SOURCE STANDARD DEVELOPMENT QUESTIONNAIRE PART A 1.0 Identification of the Information Collection ( a) Title and Number of the Information Collection.

" Secondary Non Ferrous Metals Processing Area Source Standard Development Questionnaire". This is a new information collection request ( ICR); the EPA ICR number is 2200.01.

( b) Short Characterization/ Abstract.

The Environmental Protection Agency ( EPA) plans to collect information and data from 110 existing secondary non ferrous metals processing firms. These establishments recover nonferrous metals and alloys from new and used scrap and dross or produce alloys from purchased refined metals through secondary smelting and refining as well as by chemical processes. Plants will be requested to complete a simple paper questionnaire on production processes and equipment, air pollution control systems, pollution prevention management practices, applicable regulatory requirements, and emissions test data. The questionnaire may be completed from existing information; no additional monitoring or testing is required. The information collected will be quality assured and entered into a computerized database for use in the development of area source standards for emissions of hazardous air pollutants ( HAP).

2. Need for and Use of the Collection ( a) Need/ Authority for the Collection.

Section 112( d) of the Clean Air Act ( CAA) requires EPA to promulgate national 2 emission standards for HAP emissions from new and existing major and area sources that are listed for regulation under section 112( c). Area sources are small emitters ( less than 10 tons/ yr of any individual HAP or 25 tons/ yr from a combination of HAP), but contribute about half of the nationwide HAP emissions from stationary sources. The purpose of the area source program,

described in section 112( k) of the CAA, is to reduce HAP emissions to a level that achieves a substantial reduction in risk to the public health. The area source standards may be based on the maximum achievable control technology ( MACT) under section 112( d)( 2) or on generally available control technology ( GACT) or management practices under section 112( d)( 5).

Secondary non ferrous metals processing is one of the 70 area source categories listed for regulation under EPA's Integrated Urban Air Toxics Strategy ( 67 FR 43112, June 26, 2002).

Current information and data are needed to support the development of area source standards for this source category. This information collection is authorized under section 114 of the CAA.

( b) Practical Utility/ Users of the Data.

The proposed ICR focuses on the basic information and data needed for development of technology based standards or requirements such as the type of metal processed, annual capacity,

production processes, equipment, and air pollution control systems ( or management practices).

The proposed ICR also requests basic information needed to perform economic impact analyses.

The database resulting from the completed questionnaires will be used by the Emission Standards Division ( ESD) in EPA's Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards to identify HAP emissions,

emission sources ( including any subcategories), and applicable control technologies or methods;

to determine the appropriate scope and level of control; and to estimate emissions as well as environmental, cost, and economic impacts. 3 3. Nonduplication, Consultations, and Other Collection Criteria ( a) Nonduplication.

A search of EPA's ongoing ICRs revealed no duplication of information gathering efforts,

and the information requested is not available through other sources.

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

The EPA published a pre ICR Federal Register notice on July 27, 2005 which announced our intent to submit this ICR to OMB and requested public comments.

( c) Consultations.

The questionnaire was developed in consultation with individual facilities and industry trade associations. The draft questionnaire was field tested by eight facilities representing a crosssection of the industry to obtain labor hour estimates and suggestions for improvements. Five of the eight facilities provided labor hour estimates with their responses. Comments also were invited on a voluntary basis from industry trade associations and from plants that hosted site visits. In general, the trade association and plants found the questionnaire to be clearly presented and easy to complete. As a result of these consultations, ESD made minor revisions to the survey instrument to clarify questions and simplify responses. Table 1 identifies the non EPA persons consulted during development of the proposed ICR. 4 TABLE 1.

( 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 40 CFR Part 2, Subpart B   Confidentiality of Business Information ( See 41 FR 36902, September 1, 1976; amended by 43 FR 39999, September 8, 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/ SIC and NAICS Codes.

Potential respondents are owners and operators of existing secondary non ferrous metal processing firms. Plants engaged in the secondary smelting of aluminum, copper, and lead are not included because their HAP emissions are covered by separate air pollution control standards.

The primary SIC code for the respondents is 3341 ( Secondary Smelting and Refining of Nonferrous Metals); the NAICS code is 331492 ( Secondary Smelting, Refining, and Alloying of Nonferrous Metal, Except Copper and Aluminum).

( b) Information Requested. 6 ( i) Data Items, Including Recordkeeping Requirements. A copy of the questionnaire is provided as an attachment. There are no recordkeeping requirements associated with this request.

° Part I ( Instructions) provides guidance to the respondent and highlights that no additional monitoring or testing is required to respond to the questionnaire. The instructions also list an EPA contact for questions ( or for requests to submit the information collected in a different format such as computer microdisk) and provide the name and address to which the completed survey should be mailed. The instructions also direct the respondent to an attachment that provides additional information on the scope and purpose of the ICR and relevant requirements of the CAA.

° Part II ( General Information) requests the company name, address, contact person,

and geographical location ( UTM coordinates if available) and basic economic characteristics ( annual revenue, Dunn & Bradstreet facility identification number, applicable NAICS or SIC code, number of employees, and parent company). Information is also requested on company operating parameters ( amount/ type/ percent of metal processed, annual operating hours, types of material processed, types of products produced, and secondary metal processes that are present).

° Part III ( Secondary Non ferrous Metal Processing Operations) directs the respondent to fill out tables to briefly characterize each process and the type of air pollution control device or pollution prevention measure used in the operation. When an air pollution control device is used, the respondent is asked to fill out a table that characterizes the control device. Respondents also are asked to provide information on emission test measurements,

permit conditions, and the amount of material collected by fabric filters/ cartridge collectors.

( ii) Respondent Activities. Respondent activities include reading the instructions; 7 searching data sources to collect available data from files; completing the written survey; and transmitting the survey to EPA. The request does not require respondents to make measurements of emissions or otherwise create information, and it relies on information that should be readily available from existing records and reports. There is no need for respondents to develop or acquire technology or systems to collect, process, or disclose the information; to adjust existing ways to comply with previous instructions; or to train personnel.

5. The Information Collected   Agency Activities, Collection Methodology, and Information Management ( a) Agency Activities.

Agency activities associated with this information collection include preparing and transmitting the questionnaire, answering respondent questions about the questionnaire, reviewing and assuring quality of data submissions, addressing any requests for confidentiality, and entering the data into a computerized database.

( b) Collection Methodology and Information Management.

The EPA has identified a total of 110 plants as secondary non ferrous metals processing area sources. The ESD will mail each facility a paper copy of the survey; the facility may return the completed survey in paper or electronic format except when the survey contains CBI, in which case it cannot be emailed or sent by fax. The completed responses will be reviewed for completeness and quality assured prior to being entered in a computerized database. Followup calls will be made to maximize the response rate and clarify any questions on the responses. Any CBI will be maintained in a secure location as required by EPA CBI procedures. CBI will not be entered into the database. Public access to non CBI information will be provided through the 8 rulemaking docket, which will contain a copy of the database.

( c) Small Entity Flexibility.

The Small Business Administration defines a small entity in this industry as a company with fewer than 750 employees at all facilities. The information collected from small entities is needed to perform analyses required by the Regulatory Flexibility Act and the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act. Information on emissions and the level of control performance is needed from all plants ( large and small) to determine the appropriate regulatory approach and level of control. Information on small facilities will also provide insight into pollution prevention measures that may be applicable.

Many of the plants in this area source category may meet the definition of small entity, and this survey has been designed to ensure that the burden of responding is not high. Because smaller facilities have fewer of the same processes as large plants, less time should be required to complete a response. The information requested should be readily available, and the questionnaire highlights that facilities are not required to perform additional monitoring or testing or create information.

( d) Collection Schedule.

The proposed mailing date for the ICR is within 4 weeks of ICR approval by OMB.

Respondents are asked to complete and return the survey as quickly as possible, but there is no mandatory date for submission. The database will be created and checked by quality assurance procedures by September 30, 2005. The completed database will be used to develop area source standards with proposal targeted for September 30, 2006 and promulgation in September 2007.

6. Estimating the Burden and Cost of the Collection 9 ( a) Estimating Respondent Burden.

The annual burden estimates for collecting and reporting information were derived from labor hour estimates provided by five of the eight plants that field tested the draft questionnaire.

Five of the eight plants provided labor hour estimates with their responses. The labor estimates ranged from 6.5 hours for a small plant to 102 hours for a larger plant. The average labor hour burden per facility was estimated at 62 hours.

( b) Estimating Respondent Costs.

( i) Estimating Labor Costs. Technical, management, and clerical average hourly rates are from recent Employment Cost Trends ( http:// stats. bls. gov/ news. release/ ecec. t02. htm) published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics ( BLS). Wages for civilian workers ( white collar occupations)

are used as the basis of the labor rates with a total compensation of $ 38.82 for technical ( i. e.,

engineer), $ 45.29 for managerial, and $ 19.92 for clerical. These rates represent salaries plus fringe benefits but do not include the cost of overhead. An overhead rate of 110 percent is used to account for these costs. The fully burdened wage rates used to represent respondent labor costs are: technical at $ 81.52, management at $ 95.11, and clerical at $ 41.83.

( ii) Estimating Capital and Operations and Maintenance ( O& M) Costs; Capital/ Startup v. O& M Costs; and Annualizing Capital Costs. There are no capital or O& M costs.

( c) Estimating Agency Burden and Cost.

The Agency burden estimates are based on labor hours for preparing and transmitting the questionnaire; answering respondent questions about the questionnaire; reviewing data submissions ( including followup calls if needed to clarify responses), addressing requests for confidentiality, and entering data in the computerized database ( including quality assurance 10 procedures). These burden items are based on Agency experience with previous industry surveys conducted to meet standards development needs.

The Agency labor rates are based on Office of Personnel Management ( OPM) 2004 General Schedule which excludes locality rates of pay. These rates can be obtained from Salary Table 2004 GS available on the OPM website at http:// www. opm. gov/ oca/ 04tables/ pdf/ gs_ h. pdf.

The government employee labor rates are $ 30.14 for technical ( GS 13, Step 1), $ 41.90 for managerial ( GS 15, Step 1), and $ 14.29 for clerical ( GS 7, Step 1). These rates represent salaries plus fringe benefits but do not include the cost of overhead. An overhead rate of 110 percent is used to account for these costs. The fully burdened wage rates used to represent Agency labor costs are: technical at $ 63.29, management at $ 87.99, and clerical at $ 30.01.

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

The EPA has identified a total of 110 potential respondents from existing Agency databases and reference sources. Burden hours and costs are annualized over the 3 year clearance period for the ICR. Therefore, the average annual number of respondents is 36.67.

( e) Bottom Line Burden Hours and Cost Tables.

( i) Respondent Tally. Respondent burden hours are shown in Table 2. The average annual burden is estimated at 2281 person hours per year with an average annual cost of $ 179,456. No annual capital or O& M costs are applicable.

( ii) The Agency tally. The average annual Agency burden is given in Table 3. The average annual burden is estimated at 209 person hours with an average annual cost of $ 12,831.

( iii) Variations in the annual bottom line. This section is not applicable because no significant variation is anticipated. 11 ( f) Reasons for Change in Burden.

This section does not apply since this is a new collection.

( g) Burden Statement.

The average annual respondent burden per facility is estimated at 62 hours at a cost of $ 4,894. 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. OAR 2005 0116, which is available for public viewing at the Air and Radiation Docket in the EPA Docket Center, EPA West, Room B 102, 1301 Constitution Ave., NW,

Instructions This questionnaire is to be completed for operations that comprise the " Secondary Nonferrous Metals" source category at your facility. This source category includes all processes that are part of secondary non ferrous metals processing operations such as pretreatment, smelting, refining, casting, removing castings from molds, and casting finishing. By our definition, a secondary non ferrous metal processing facility is an establishment primarily engaged in recovering non ferrous metals and alloys from new and used scrap and dross or in producing alloys from purchased refined metals. This industry includes establishments engaged in both the recovery and alloying of precious metals. Plants engaged in the recovery of tin through secondary smelting and refining, as well as by chemical processes are included in this industry. The subject operations are generally conducted under Standard Industrial Classification ( SIC) Code 3341, Secondary Smelting and Refining of Non ferrous Metals or under North American Industry Classification System ( NAICS) Code 331492 Secondary Smelting, Refining, and Alloying of Nonferrous Metal ( except Copper and Aluminum).

We are requesting information regarding air emissions from your secondary non ferrous metals processing operations, the use of air pollution control ( APC) devices in those operations, and their effectiveness in reducing emissions, particularly of hazardous air pollutants ( HAPs). The information requested is described in Sections II and III of this questionnaire. A list of HAPs is included as Attachment 1.

Please satisfy this request as completely as possible from existing information. No additional monitoring or emission testing is required by your company to respond to this request.

If you wish to submit the requested information in a different format ( computer microdisk, for example), please contact Iliam Rosario at 919 541 5308 ( e mail rosario. iliam@ epa. gov) first to ensure that the EPA can process your information in the format you intend to use.

Commissioners of Public Works of the City of Spartanburg, SC;
Notice of Availability of Environmental Assessment

    In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969
and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's (Commission or FERC)
regulations, 18 CFR part 380, Commission staff has reviewed the
application for surrender of license for the Clifton Mills No. 1
Project (FERC No. 4632) and has prepared an environmental assessment
(EA). The project is located on the Pacolet River in Spartanburg
County, South Carolina.
    The EA contains the Commission staff's analysis of the potential
environmental effects of the proposed surrender and concludes that
authorizing the surrender, with appropriate environmental protective
measures would not constitute a major federal action that would
significantly affect the quality of the human environment.
    A copy of the EA 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 assistance, contact FERC Online Support at

II. Background

Revisions to PM2.5 Significant Impact Level (SIL) and

Significant Monitoring Concentration (SMC) Provisions

    Colorado's SIP submittal revises the SIL and SMC provisions for

PM2.5 in the State's Prevention of Significant Deterioration

(PSD) permitting program. On January 22, 2013, the United States Court

of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit vacated the SILs for

PM2.5 and allowed the EPA to reconsider the provisions for

SMCs. Sierra Club v. EPA, 705 F.3d 458 (D.C. Cir. 2013). On December 9,

2013, the EPA issued a final rule that removes the PM2.5 SIL

from EPA's PSD regulations and revised the threshold for SMCs (78 FR

73698). The EPA set the PM2.5 SMC concentration at zero

micrograms per cubic meter instead of removing PM2.5

entirely from the SMC provisions because a zero micrograms per cubic

meter threshold means there is no air quality impact below which a

reviewing authority has the discretion to exempt a source from the

PM2.5 monitoring requirements, but that monitoring is still

required. As a result of this court decision and the EPA's rulemaking,

Colorado removed the SILs for PM2.5 from Part D, Section

V.A.2.c set the SMC monitoring concentration to zero in Part D, Section

VI.B.3.a(iii).

Revisions to APEN Reporting

    Colorado's regulations in Part A, Section II.A. require:

    [N]o person shall allow emissions of air pollutants from, or

construction, modification or alteration of, any facility, process,

or activity which constitutes a stationary source, except

residential structures, from which air pollutants are, or are to be,

emitted unless and until an Air Pollution Emission Notice and the

associated Air Pollution Emission Notice fee has been filed with the

Division with respect to such emission.

    Colorado has revised its APEN reporting requirements to clarify

when a revised APEN is required due to a significant change in annual

actual emissions. The revision would clarify that the thresholds for

determining significant changes are based on individual emission units,

not facility-wide, actual emissions on a pollutant-by-pollutant basis.

For example, an APEN reporting 150 tons per year (tpy) of carbon

monoxide (CO) and 10 tpy of PM2.5 would need to update CO

emissions using the ``one hundred tpy or more'' threshold in Part A,

Section II.C.2.b.(iii), and update PM2.5 emissions using the

``less than one hundred tpy'' threshold in Part A, Section

II.C.2.b.(i). Without this proposed clarification (actual emissions on

a pollutant-by-pollutant basis) a significant change was based on the

source's aggregate annual actual emissions, which required sources to

file revised APENs more often.

    Colorado has also revised Part A, Section II.C.b(i)-(iii), Section

II.C.4.a. and b. to clarify that APENs filed solely to update an

expired APEN, change the owner or operator, or report a significant

change in emissions need only report actual annual emissions (which is

the equivalent of controlled emissions if the source utilizes emission

control equipment). APENs filed to update control equipment or modify a

permit limitation would continue to report both uncontrolled actual and

controlled actual emissions. This revision simplifies and streamlines

the requirements for filing revised APENs, because the source's actual

annual emissions are the relevant information for inventory and fee

purposes when reporting past years' emissions or reporting significant

changes in annual actual emissions.

Revisions to Public Notice Requirements

    Colorado has revised its provisions for public notice of a minor

source permit application to update the publication requirements in

Part B, Section III.C.4. Regulation 3 in the SIP requires the State to

publish public notice of certain proposed minor source construction

permit applications, including sources that apply for a permit to limit

the potential to emit criteria pollutants, in a newspaper of general

distribution in the area where the proposed project will be located or

by other such method reasonably designed to ensure effective public

notice. Recently, Colorado has found that some areas where construction

permitting projects require public notice are proposed no longer have

newspapers of general circulation. Therefore, in order to provide

effective public notice, Colorado has revised its minor source public

notice publication requirements to include other means authorized by

state statute and federal regulation that are designed to provide

public notice of the applicable permitting action. Further, by

utilizing other means of public notice such as the State Web site,

Colorado will provide broader notice for a longer timeframe than a one-

day publication in a newspaper.

III. What are the changes that EPA is proposing to approve?

    Under CAA section 110(l), EPA cannot approve a SIP revision that

interferes with any requirement concerning attainment, reasonable

further progress, or any other applicable requirement of the Act. The

February 25, 2015 revisions to Regulation 3 Part D, Section VI.A.2.c

and VI.B.3.a.(iii) of the Colorado SIP would not interfere with the

applicable requirements of the Act. The revisions to the PSD program in

Part D, Regulation 3 comply with the requirements of 40 CFR 51.166 as

revised by the EPA in response to the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals

decision regarding PM2.5 SILs and SMCs. See 78 FR 73698.

This proposal is limited to the revisions pertaining to

PM2.5; we are not proposing to re-approve any existing

provisions in the Colorado SIP regarding source impact analysis and

ambient monitoring. As the revisions removing PM2.5 SILs and

SMCs are in accordance with the EPA's 2013 removal of PM2.5

SILs and SMCs from 40 CFR 51.166 and the revisions strengthen the SIP,

we are proposing to approve the revisions. We are also proposing to

approve the conforming change to the introductory statement in VI.A.2.,

which includes the deletion of the phrase at the end of the sentence

(``, as clarified for any relevant air pollutant in Section

VI.A.2.c.:''). The revisions to Part A, Section II.C.b(i)-(iii),

Section II.C.4.a. and b. comply with section 110(l) because the

revisions are limited to the filing of revised APENs that are designed

to update Colorado's emissions inventory or used to calculate emissions

fees. The revisions to the public notice minor source permitting

requirements comply with section 110(l) because as discussed below, we

propose to interpret that revisions are consistent with our regulations

and guidance.

    Colorado's February 25, 2015 submittal also revises its APEN

requirements. The APEN revisions in Part A clarify that, for purposes

of filing a revised APEN, the thresholds for determining significant

changes are based on the emission unit's actual emissions on a

pollutant-by-pollutant basis, not total facility-wide emissions. These

revisions also clarify that APENs filed for the following purposes need

only report actual emissions: Solely to update an APEN before it

expires; change in the owner or operator of any facility, process of

activity; or report a significant change in emissions. APENs filed to

update control equipment or modify a permit limitation would continue

to report both uncontrolled actual and controlled actual emissions. The

revisions to Part A, Section II.C.2.b(i)-(iii), Section II.C.4.a. and b

streamline the requirements for filing revised APENs because the

sources actual annual emissions is the relevant information for

emissions inventory and fee purposes.

    The CAA contains three programs governing construction of new and

modified stationary sources, collectively referred to as new source

review (NSR): Minor NSR, PSD, and nonattainment NSR.\1\ The revisions

in the February 25, 2015 submittal to the public notice requirements in

Regulation 3, Part B, Section III.C.4 apply only to the minor NSR

program. They do not apply to the PSD and nonattainment NSR permit

programs, which have separate public notice requirements in Regulation

3, Part D, Section IV.A.

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

    \1\ For a detailed discussion of the three programs, please see

(for example) 76 FR 38748 (July 1, 2011).

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

    Requirements for the minor NSR program are provided in 40 CFR

51.160 to 51.164. With respect to public notice of minor NSR approvals,

the state must provide ``a notice by prominent advertisement in the

area affected.'' 40 CFR 51.161(b)(3). On April 17, 2012, the EPA issued

a guidance memorandum stating that we intended to interpret ``prominent

advertisement'' in a media-neutral fashion.\2\ The memorandum explained

that states could meet the requirement by publication of the notice

in appropriate newspaper, or could opt to publish the notice using

other media so long as it would be reasonable to conclude that the

public would have routine and ready access to the alternative

publishing venue and the use of the alternative venue would be

consistent with the state's law or SIP.\3\

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

    \2\ Memorandum from Janet McCabe, Principal Deputy Assistant

Administrator, Office of Air and Radiation, to Regional

Administrators, entitled ``Minor New Source Review Program Public

Notice Requirements under 40 CFR 51.161(b)(3) (Apr. 17, 2012),

available at https://www.epa.gov/sites/production/files/2015-07/documents/pubnot.pdf.

    \3\ Id. at 1.

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

    On October 18, 2016 (81 FR 71613) the EPA revised the public notice

requirements for Clean Air Act permitting programs.\4\ In the 2016

final action, the EPA also revised the April 17, 2012 interpretation of

``prominent advertisement'' in 40 CFR 51.161(b)(3) for the minor NSR

program by extending it to ``synthetic minor'' permits, that is,

permits that contain legally and practically enforceable restrictions

that result in the source not being subject to major NSR requirements.

81 FR 71617.

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

    \4\ The EPA also revised requirements for posting approval

documents for public inspection to allow for posting the documents

at a physical location or on a public Web site identified by the

state or local agency. 81 FR 71629. Colorado's February 25, 2015

submittal retains (with a minor grammatical change) the currently

approved method of posting the materials at the county clerk's

office for the county in which the source is or will be located.

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

    In this action, the EPA proposes to interpret ``prominent

advertisement'' in similar fashion, that is, as media neutral and

satisfied by any publishing venue to which it would be reasonable to

conclude the public has routine and ready access. The February 25, 2015

SIP revisions require the public notice to be published in either a

newspaper of general distribution in the area in which the source is or

will be located, or by other means necessary to assure notice to the

affected public, including posting notice on the publicly accessible

portion of the Division's Web site. We propose to determine that this

is adequate as ``prominent advertisement.'' We are not proposing to

reassess Colorado's minor NSR program with respect to public

participation processes generally; we are only proposing to act on

revisions that affect the publication of the notice specifically. This

proposal is limited to the revisions as they apply to the SIP and

criteria pollutants; we are not proposing action on provisions

regarding ``federal hazardous air pollutants'' that are covered under

authorities.

    For the reasons expressed above, EPA is proposing to approve

revisions to Regulation 3, Parts A, B and D and Appendix A from the

February 25, 2015 submittal as shown in Table 1 below. Appendix A was

revised as a conforming change to the APEN revisions. We are also

proposing to approve the renumbering and formatting changes for the

definition of ``emission unit'' in Regulation 3, Part D, I.A.13.a.; and

II.A.13.a.(i)-(ii).

    The EPA is not acting on revisions from Colorado's February 25,

2015 submittal related to greenhouse gas and carbon dioxide equivalent

(CO2e) revisions and the associated renumbering which was a result of

Colorado's proposed greenhouse gas revisions in Parts A and D. These

revisions will be acted on in a separate future rulemaking.

IV. Incorporation by Reference

    In this rule, the 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, the EPA is proposing to incorporate by

reference the Colorado Air Quality Control Commission (Commission)

Regulation Number 3, Parts A, B and D discussed in section III of this

preamble. The EPA has made, and will continue to make, these documents

generally available electronically through www.regulations.gov and/or

in hard copy at the appropriate EPA office (see the ADDRESSES section

of this preamble for more information).

V. Statutory and Executive Orders Review

    Under the CAA, the Administrator is required to approve a SIP

submission that complies with the provisions of the Act and applicable

federal regulations (42 U.S.C. 7410(k), 40 CFR 52.02(a)). Thus, in

reviewing SIP submissions, the EPA's role is to approve state choices,

provided that they meet the criteria of the CAA. Accordingly, this

proposed action merely approves some state law as meeting federal

requirements; this proposed action 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 Order

12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993);

     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 the 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).

    The SIP is not approved to apply on any Indian reservation land or

in any other area where the EPA or an Indian tribe has demonstrated

that a tribe has jurisdiction. In those areas of Indian country, the

rule does not have tribal implications and will not impose substantial

direct costs on tribal governments or preempt tribal law as specified

by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000).
