30 Day Federal Register Notice

Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 229 / Tuesday, November 29, 2016 / Notices

Procedural Requirements
Environmental Compliance
In compliance with the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of
1969, 42 U.S.C. 4321, et seq., the
Council on Environmental Quality
Regulations for implementing NEPA, 40
CFR parts 1500 through 1508, and the
Integrated DOE NEPA Implementing
Procedures, 10 CFR part 1021, WAPA
has determined this action is
categorically excluded from the
preparation of an environmental
assessment or an EIS.
Determination Under Executive Order
12866
WAPA has an exemption from
centralized regulatory review under
Executive Order 12866; accordingly, no
clearance of this notice by the Office of
Management and Budget is required.
Regulatory Flexibility Analysis
The Regulatory Flexibility Act of 1980
(RFA), 5 U.S.C. 601, et seq., requires a
Federal agency to perform a regulatory
flexibility analysis whenever the agency
is required by law to publish a general
notice of proposed rulemaking for any
proposed rule, unless the agency can
certify that the rule will not have a
significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities. In
defining the term ‘‘rule,’’ the RFA
specifies that a ‘‘rule’’ does not include
‘‘a rule of particular applicability
relating to rates [and] services . . . or to
valuations, costs or accounting, or
practices relating to such rates [and]
services . . . .’’ 5 U.S.C. 601. WAPA
has determined that this action relates
to rates or services offered by WAPA
and, therefore, is not a rule within the
purview of the RFA.
Dated: November 18, 2016.
Mark A. Gabriel,
Administrator.

Clean Air Act Operating Permit
Program; Petition for Objection to
State Operating Permit for Tennessee
Valley Authority—Bull Run (Anderson
County, Tennessee)
Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice of final order on petition
to object to state operating permit.
AGENCY:

VerDate Sep<11>2014

The EPA Administrator
signed an Order, dated November 10,
2016, granting petition to object to Clean
Air Act (CAA) title V operating permit
issued by the Tennessee Department of
Environment and Conservation (TDEC)
to the Tennessee Valley Authority
(TVA) Bull Run facility located in
Clinton, Anderson County, Tennessee.
This Order constitutes a final action on
the petition submitted by Sierra Club
and Environmental Integrity Project
(Petitioners) and received by EPA on
September 29, 2015.
ADDRESSES: Copies of the Order, the
petition, and all pertinent information
relating thereto are on file at the
following location: EPA Region 4; Air,
Pesticides and Toxics Management
Division; 61 Forsyth Street SW.; Atlanta,
Georgia 30303–8960. The Order is also
available electronically at the following

SUMMARY:

Jkt 241001

The CAA
affords EPA a 45-day period to review
and, as appropriate, the authority to
object to operating permits proposed by
state permitting authorities under title V
of the CAA, 42 U.S.C. 7661–7661f.
Section 505(b)(2) of the CAA and 40
CFR 70.8(d) authorize any person to
petition the EPA Administrator to object
to a title V operating permit within 60
days after the expiration of EPA’s 45day review period if EPA has not
objected on its own initiative. Petitions
must be based only on objections to the
permit that were raised with reasonable
specificity during the public comment
period provided by the state, unless the
petitioner demonstrates that it was
impracticable to raise these issues
during the comment period or the
grounds for the issues arose after this
period.
Petitioners submitted a petition
regarding the aforementioned TVA Bull
Run facility, requesting that EPA object
to the CAA title V operating permit
(#01–0009/567519). Petitioners alleged
that the permit was not consistent with
the CAA because it lacks sufficient
monitoring to assure compliance with
the opacity limit established pursuant to
Tennessee Comprehensive Rules &
Regulations 1200–03–05–.01.
On November 10, 2016, the
Administrator issued an Order granting
the petition. The Order explains EPA’s
rationale for granting the petition.

Abstract: For this ICR, EPA is seeking
a revision to an existing package with a
three year extension. Title II of the
Clean Air Act, (42 U.S.C. 7521 et seq.;
CAA), charges the Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) with issuing
certificates of conformity for those
engines that comply with applicable
emission standards. Such a certificate
must be issued before engines may be
legally introduced into commerce.
Under this ICR, EPA collects
information necessary to (1) issue
certificates of compliance with emission
statements, and (2) verify compliance
with various programs and regulatory
provisions pertaining to marine
compression-ignition engines with a
specific engine displacement at or above
30 liters per cylinder, also referred to as
Category 3 engines. To apply for a
certificate of conformity, manufacturers
are required to submit descriptions of
their planned production engines,
including detailed descriptions of
emission control systems and test data.
This information is organized by
‘‘engine family’’ groups expected to
have similar emission characteristics.
There are recordkeeping requirements of
up to eight years. The Act also mandates
EPA to verify that manufacturers have
successfully translated their certified
prototypes into mass produced engines,
and that these engines comply with
emission standards throughout their
useful lives.
Under the Production Line Testing
Program (‘‘PLT Program’’),
manufacturers of Category 3 engines are

VerDate Sep<11>2014

17:48 Nov 28, 2016

Jkt 241001

required to test each engine at the sea
trial of the vessel in which the engine
is installed or within the first 300 hours
of operation, whichever comes first.
This self-audit program allows
manufacturers to monitor compliance
and minimize the cost of correcting
errors through early detection. In
addition, owners and operators of
marine vessels with Category 3 engines
must record certain information and
send minimal annual notifications to
EPA to show that engine maintenance
and adjustments have not caused
engines to be noncompliant. From time
to time, EPA may test in-use engines to
verify compliance with emission
standards throughout the marine
engine’s useful life and may ask for
information about the engine family to
be tested.
Proprietary information is kept
confidential in accordance with the
Freedom of Information Act (FOIA),
EPA regulations at 40 CFR parts 2 and
1042.915, and class determinations
issued by EPA’s Office of General
Counsel. Non-confidential business
information may be disclosed as
requested under FOIA. That information
may be used by trade associations,
environmental groups, and the public.
Most of the information is collected in
electronic format and stored in CD’s
databases.
Form Numbers: 5900–90 (Annual
Production Report); 5900–297 (PLT
CumSum Report); 5900–298 (PLT NonCumSum Report); 5900–124
(Application for Certification).
Respondents/affected entities:
Manufacturers, owners or operators of
marine compression-ignition engines
above 30 liters per cylinder and the
vessels in which those engines are
installed, within the following North
American Industry Classification
System (NAICS) codes: 333618 (Other
Engine Equipment Manufacturing),
336611 (Manufacturers of Marine
Vessels); 811310 (Engine Repair and
Maintenance); 483 (Water
transportation, freight and passenger).
Respondent’s obligation to respond:
Required to obtain or retain a benefit.
Manufacturers must respond to this
collection if they wish to sell and/or
operate their Category 3 engines in the
US, as prescribed by Section 206(a) of
the CAA (42 U.S.C. 7521) and 40 CFR
part 1042. Certification reporting is
mandatory (Section 206(a) of CAA (42
U.S.C. 7521) and 40 CFR part 1042,
subpart C). PLT reporting is mandatory
(Section 206(b)(1) of CAA and 40 CFR
part 1042, subpart D).
Estimated number of respondents:
201 (total).
