information collection request (ICR), ``Air Pollution Regulations for 
Outer Continental Shelf'' (EPA ICR No. 1601.09, OMB Control No. 2060-
0249) to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and 
approval in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501

required to respond to a collection of information unless it displays a 
currently valid OMB control number.

DATES: Comments must be submitted on or before July 28, 2015.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, referencing the Docket ID Number 
above, online using www.regulations.gov (our preferred method), or by 
mail to: EPA Docket Center, Environmental Protection Agency, Mail Code

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: David Painter, Office of Air Quality 
Planning and Standards, Air Quality Policy Division (C504-03), U.S. 
Environmental Protection Agency, Research Triangle Park, NC 27711; 
telephone number: (919) 541-5515; fax number: (919) 541-5509; email 
address: [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Supporting documents which explain in detail 
the information that the EPA will be collecting are available in the 
public docket for this ICR. The docket can be viewed online at 
www.regulations.gov or in person at the EPA Docket Center, WJC West, 
Room 3334, 1301 Constitution Ave. NW., Washington, DC. The telephone 
number for the Docket Center is 202-566-1744. For additional 
information about EPA's public docket, visit http://www.epa.gov/dockets.
    Pursuant to section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA, EPA is soliciting 
comments and information to enable it to: (i) Evaluate whether the 
proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper 
performance of the functions of the Agency, including whether the 
information will have practical utility; (ii) evaluate the accuracy of 
the Agency's estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of 
information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions 
used; (iii) enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the 
information to be collected; and (iv) minimize the burden of the 
collection of information on those who are to respond, including 
through the use of appropriate automated electronic, mechanical, or 
other technological collection techniques or other forms of information 
technology, e.g., permitting electronic submission of responses. EPA 
will consider the comments received and amend the ICR as appropriate. 
The final ICR package will then be submitted to OMB for review and 
approval. At that time, EPA will issue another Federal Register notice 
to announce the submission of the ICR to OMB and the opportunity to 
submit additional comments to OMB.
    Abstract: Section 328 of the Clean Air Act gives EPA responsibility 
for regulating air pollution from outer continental shelf (OCS) sources 
located offshore of the states along the Pacific, Arctic and Atlantic 
Coasts, and along the eastern Gulf of Mexico coast (off the coast of 
Florida). In general, these OCS sources must obtain preconstruction 
permits (usually Prevention of Significant Deterioration or ``PSD'' 
permits) and title V operating permits, and then maintain ongoing 
compliance with their permit conditions. Industry respondents include 
owners or operators of existing and new or modified OCS sources. These 
respondents must prepare permit applications and, after receiving their 
permits, conduct testing, monitoring, recordkeeping and reporting as 
required by their permits. The recordkeeping and reporting requirements 
are necessary so that EPA can determine whether these sources are 
meeting all the requirements that apply to them. EPA has delegated the 
authority to implement and enforce the OCS regulations for sources 
located off the coast of California to four local air pollution control 
agencies. These agency respondents must review sources' permit 
applications and reports, issue permits, observe performance tests and 
conduct inspections to ensure that the sources are meeting all the 
requirements that apply to them. Section 176(c) of the Clean Air Act 
(42 U.S.C. 7401 et seq.) requires that all federal actions conform with 
the State Implementation Plans (SIPs) to attain and maintain the NAAQS. 
Depending on the type of action, the federal entities must collect 
information themselves, hire consultants to collect the information or 
require applicants/sponsors of the federal action to provide the 
information.
    The type and quantity of information required will depend on the 
circumstances surrounding the action. First, the entity must make an 
applicability determination. If the source is located within 25 miles 
of the state's seaward boundaries as established in the regulations, 
the requirements are the same as those that would be applicable if the 
source were located in the corresponding onshore area. State and local 
air pollution control agencies are usually requested to provide 
information concerning regulation of offshore sources and are provided 
opportunities to comment on the proposed determinations. The public is 
also provided an opportunity to comment on the proposed determinations.
    Respondents/affected entities: State governments.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory.
    Estimated number of respondents: 42 (total).
    Frequency of response: Annual.
    Currently approved estimated burden: 28,174 hours (per year). 
Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.03(b).
    Currently approved estimated cost: $2,532,887, which includes no 
annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in estimates: The final ICR submitted to OMB will contain 
revised burden estimates that reflect any changes to the collection 
over the past three years and any public comments received.
