Environmental Protection Agency (EPA
or the Agency) on a cyclic basis via
input to the Air Facility System (AFS),
until mid October 2014, and via input
to the modernized AFS—the Air
component of the Integrated
Compliance Information System (ICISAir), from late October 2014 forward.
The Agency, with support from state
and local agencies, is nearing
completion of the modernization of AFS
into ICIS-Air. The planned date of the
implementation of ICIS-Air is October
27, 2014.
ICIS-Air supports EPA and state and
local agency efforts to ensure
compliance with the nation’s
environmental laws pertaining to air,
via the collection and management of
important Clean Air Act (CAA or the
‘‘Act’’) compliance and enforcement
information. The information to be
provided to EPA via ICIS-Air includes
source characterization, compliance
monitoring, and enforcement activities.
EPA will use this information to assess
progress toward meeting emission
requirements developed under the
authority of the CAA, and to protect and
maintain air quality, public health, and
the environment. Agencies receive
delegation of the CAA through regulated
grant authorities, and report
compliance/enforcement activities
undertaken at stationary sources
pursuant to the Minimum Data
Requirements (MDRs) as outlined in this
ICR. The provisions of Section 114(a)(1)
of the Clean Air Act, 42 U.S.C. Section
7414(a)(1) provide the broad authority
for the reporting of compliance
monitoring and enforcement
information, along with Subpart QReports in 40 CFR 51: Sections 51.324(a)
and (b), and 51.327. This renewal
requires the continuation of reporting of
previously established MDRs via a new
information system solution—ICIS-Air
instead of AFS. Since AFS will be
replaced by ICIS-Air prior to the official
renewal of this ICR, we are including in
the Supporting Statement a crosswalk
between the MDRs expressed as the
current AFS data elements and as the
new ICIS-Air data elements.
Are there changes in the estimates from
the last approval?
The current EPA database for which
these data are reported (i.e., AFS) will
not exist at the time of this ICR renewal;
therefore, EPA will not perform a new
burden estimate based on reporting to
AFS. Since the new, replacement
system, ICIS-Air, is not yet implemented
in a production environment, we cannot
use the new system to develop a new
burden estimate for future reporting to
ICIS-Air at the current time. EPA will

estimate burden in the Federal Register
notice with the ICR to the best of its
ability and will take comment on those
estimates.
While transition to the new ICIS-Air
system will require some investment at
the federal, state and local levels, EPA
believes that by providing a modern and
more capable information system, states
and locals as a group will experience a
significant overall reduction in
reporting burden. This will occur for
states/locals that are direct users, as
well as for those using electronic data
transfer (EDT) to report MDRs to ICISAir. In addition to the anticipated
burden reduction associated with
completion of AFS modernization to
ICIS-Air, EPA is nearing completion of
two major policy revisions—the High
Priority Violations (HPV) and Federally
Reportable Violations (FRV) policies—
that will result in a narrowing of the
scope of CAA enforcement and
compliance reporting as compared to
the previous ICR renewal cycle. These
policy revisions will result in additional
burden reduction for state and local
agencies.
EPA does anticipate that operational
and maintenance costs associated with
state and local agency reporting will
increase modestly due to inflationary
pressures (e.g., increased hourly
resource costs for management,
professional, and related occupational
groups). The labor rates used in the ICR
estimates will be taken from the
Department of Labor Employment
Compensation and Costs (ECEC) Web
site. These changes will be reflected in
the final supporting statement for this
ICR.

Abstract: The affected entities are
subject to the General Provisions of the
NESHAP at 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart A,
and any changes, or additions specified
at 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart YYYYY.
Owners or operators of the affected
facilities must submit a one-time-only
report of any physical or operational
changes, initial performance tests, and
periodic reports and results. Owners or
operators are also required to maintain
records of the occurrence and duration
of any startup, shutdown, or
malfunction in the operation of an
affected facility, or any period during
which the monitoring system is
inoperative. Reports addressing (1) the
number of mercury switches removed or
the weight of mercury recovered from
the switches and properly managed, the
estimated number of vehicles processed,
an estimate of the percent of mercury
switches recovered, and a certification
that the recovered mercury switches
were recycled at RCRA-permitted
facilities, and (2) the control of
contaminants from scrap according to
the requirements in § 63.10(e) are
required semiannually.
Form Numbers: None.
Respondents/affected entities:
Owners or operators of electric arc
furnace steelmaking facilities.
Respondent’s obligation to respond:
Mandatory (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart
YYYYY).
Estimated number of respondents: 87
(total).
Frequency of response: Initially,
semiannually and occasionally.
Total estimated burden: 1,417 hours
(per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR
1320.3(b).
Total estimated cost: $136,341 (per
year), includes no annualized capital or
operation & maintenance costs.
Changes in the Estimates: There is a
decrease in the respondent burden and

an increase in Agency burden. These
changes occurred due to the following
adjustment: (1) This ICR revises the
number of respondents from 91 to 87
based on input provided from industry
trade association; and (2) This ICR
corrects the frequency of semiannual
report review from one to two in Table
2. This correction results in an increase
in the estimated Agency burden.

Proposed Windfall Lien Settlement
Agreement, Eaton Sugar Beet Factory

Environmental Protection
Agency.
ACTION: Notice of proposed agreement;
request for public comment.
AGENCY:

In accordance with the
requirements of section 122(h)(1) of the
Comprehensive Environmental
Response Compensation, and Liability
Act of 1980, as amended (‘‘CERCLA’’),
42 U.S.C. 9622(h)(1), notice is hereby
given of the proposed administrative
settlement under section 107(r) of
CERCLA, 42 U.S.C. 9607(r) between the
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
(‘‘EPA’’) and the Town of Eaton,
Colorado, (‘‘Settling Party’’). The
Settling Party consents to and will not
contest the authority of the United
States to enter into this Agreement or to
implement or enforce its terms.
The Settling Party, qualifying as a
bona fide prospective purchaser as
provided for under CERCLA section
107(r)(1), 42 U.S.C. 9607(4)(1), took title
to the site of the abandoned Eaton Sugar
Beet Factory in 2009 through the
purchase of tax liens. The EPA
conducted a time critical removal action
to address asbestos contamination at the
factory site from November of 2011
through April of 2013. EPA now seeks
to enter into a settlement agreement for
the release of the windfall lien that
arose as a result of the asbestos removal
action. The value of a windfall lien is
limited to the increase in the fair market
value of the land that was cleaned up by
EPA and is limited also by the amount
of the EPA’s unrecovered response
costs. The increased value of the land
owned by the Settling Parties is
$226,283.14.
