Budget (OMB) for review and approval in accordance with the Paperwork 
Reduction Act (PRA) (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.). Before doing so, the EPA 
is soliciting public comments on specific aspects of the proposed 
information collection as described below. This is a proposed extension

DATES: Comments must be submitted on or before November 21, 2016.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID No. EPA-HQ-
OAR-2011-0901, to the Federal eRulemaking Portal: https://www.regulations.gov. Follow the online instructions for submitting 
comments. Once submitted, comments cannot be edited or withdrawn. The 
EPA may publish any comment received to its public docket. Do not 
submit electronically any information you consider to be Confidential 
Business Information (CBI) or other information whose disclosure is

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Supporting document(s) 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 
https://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

    Pursuant to section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA, the 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., 
allowing electronic submission of responses. The 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, the 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: This ICR is for activities related to the implementation 
of the EPA's New Source Review (NSR) program, for the time period 
between May 1, 2017, and April 30, 2020, and renews the previous ICR. 
Title I, part C of the Clean Air Act (CAA or the Act)--``Prevention of 
Significant Deterioration,'' and part D--``Plan Requirements for 
Nonattainment Areas,'' require all states to adopt preconstruction 
review programs for new or modified stationary sources of air 
pollution. In addition, the provisions of section 110 of the Act 
include a requirement for states to have a preconstruction review 
program to manage the emissions from the construction and modification 
of any stationary source of air pollution to assure that the National 
Ambient Air Quality Standards are achieved and maintained. Tribes may 
choose to develop implementation plans to address these requirements.
    Implementing regulations for these three programs are promulgated 
at 40 CFR 49.101 through 49.105; 40 CFR 49.151 through 49.173; 40 CFR 
51.160 through 51.166; 40 CFR part 51, Appendix S; and 40 CFR 52.21 and 
52.24. In order to receive a construction permit for a major new source 
or major modification, the applicant must conduct the necessary 
research, perform the appropriate analyses and prepare the permit 
application with documentation to demonstrate that their project meets 
all applicable statutory and regulatory NSR requirements. Specific 
activities and requirements are listed and described in the Supporting 
Statement for the ICR.
    State, local, tribal or federal reviewing authorities review permit 
applications and provide for public review of proposed projects and 
issue permits based on their consideration of all technical factors and 
public input. The EPA, more broadly, reviews a fraction of the total 
applications and audits the state and local programs for their 
effectiveness. Consequently, information prepared and submitted by 
sources is essential for sources to receive permits, and for federal, 
state, and local environmental agencies to adequately review the permit 
applications and thereby properly administer and manage the NSR 
programs.
    Information that is collected is handled according to EPA's 
policies set forth in title 40, chapter 1, part 2, subpart B--
Confidentiality of Business Information (see 40 CFR part 2). See also 
section 114(c) of the Act.
    Form numbers: 5900-246, 5900-247, 5900-248, 5900-340, 5900-341, 
5900-342, 5900-343, 5900-344, 5900-390, and 5900-391.
    Respondents/affected entities: Entities potentially affected by 
this action are those which must apply for and obtain a preconstruction 
permit under part C or D or section 110(a)(2)(C) of title I of the Act. 
In addition, state, local and tribal reviewing authorities that must 
review permit applications and issue permits are affected entities.
    Title: Prevention of Significant Deterioration and Nonattainment 
New Source Review (Renewal).
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory [see 40 CFR part 49, 
subpart C; 40 CFR part 51, subpart I; 40 CFR part 52, subpart A; 40 CFR 
part 124, subparts A and C].
    Estimated number of respondents: 73,762 (total); 73,639 industrial 
facilities and 123 state, local and tribal reviewing authorities.
    Frequency of response: On occasion, as necessary.
    Total estimated burden: 5,516,675 hours (per year). Burden is 
defined at 5 CFR 1320.03(b).
    Total estimated cost: $428,760,519 (per year). This includes 
$3,466,314

[[Page 64904]]

annually in outsourced start-up costs for preconstruction monitoring.
    Changes in estimates: There is a decrease of 2,417,665 hours in the 
total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently 
approved by OMB. This decrease has two primary causes: (1) A 
significant decrease in the estimated number of industrial facilities 
subject to CAA title I, part C permitting as a result of the U.S. 
Supreme Court ruling in Utility Air Regulatory Group (UARG) v. EPA (134 
S.Ct. 2427 (2014)); and (2) a significant decrease in the estimated 
number of permits and registrations on tribal lands based on the 
progress in, and experience with, implementing the tribal NSR program.
