Title: NESHAP for Engine Test Cells/
Stands (Renewal).
ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number
2066.04, OMB Control Number 2060–
0483.
ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to
expire on July 31, 2008. Under OMB
regulations, the Agency may continue to
conduct or sponsor the collection of
information while this submission is
pending at OMB. 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 title 40 of the CFR, after
appearing in the Federal Register when
approved, are listed in 40 CFR part 9,
and displayed either by publication in
the Federal Register or by other
appropriate means, such as on the
related collection instrument or form, if
applicable. The display of OMB control
numbers in certain EPA regulations is
consolidated in 40 CFR part 9.
Abstract: The National Emission
Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants
(NESHAP), for Engine Test Cells/Stands
were proposed on May 14, 2002 (67 FR
34547), and promulgated on May 27,
2003 (68 FR 28785). These standards
apply to any existing, reconstructed, or
new affected sources. An affected source
is the collection of all equipment and
activities associated with engine test
cells/stands used for testing uninstalled
stationary or uninstalled mobile
engines. Respondents of affected
sources are subject to the requirements
of 40 CFR part 63, subpart A, the
General Provisions, unless the
regulation specifies otherwise.
Owners and operators must submit an
initial notification report upon the
construction, or reconstruction of any
engine test cells/stands used for testing
internal combustion engines. The
respondents are required to submit a
semiannual compliance report. If there
were no deviations from the emission
limitation and the continuous emission
monitoring system (CEMS) was
jlentini on PROD1PC65 with NOTICES
operating correctly, the semiannual
report must contain a statement that no
deviation occurred. If a deviation
occurred from an emission limit, the
report must contain detailed
VerDate Aug<31>2005 18:09 Apr 11, 2008 Jkt 214001
information of the nature of the
deviation. Performance test reports are
the Agency’s records of a source’s initial
capability to comply with the emission
standards, and serve as a record of the
operating conditions under which
compliance is to be achieved.
The information generated by
monitoring, recordkeeping and
reporting requirements described in this
ICR are used by the Agency to ensure
that facilities affected by the standard
continue to operate the control
equipment and achieve continuous
compliance with the regulation. Owners
or operators of engine test cells/stands
facilities subject to the rule must
maintain a file of these measurements,
and retain the file for at least five years
following the date of such
measurements, maintenance reports,
and records. All reports are sent to the
delegated state or local authority. In the
event that there is no such delegated
authority, the reports are sent directly to
the EPA regional office. This
information is being collected to assure
compliance with 40 CFR part 63,
subpart PPPPP, as authorized in section
112 and 114(a) of the Clean Air Act. The
required information consists of
emissions data and other information
that have been determined to be private.
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
Number for EPA’s regulations are listed
in 40 CFR part 9 and 48 CFR chapter 15,
and are identified on the form and/or
instrument, if applicable.
Burden Statement: The annual public
reporting and recordkeeping burden for
this collection of information is
estimated to average 76 hours per
response. 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 which have subsequently
changed; 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.
Respondents/Affected Entities: Engine
test cells/stands.
PO 00000 Frm 00028 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 E:\FR\FM\14APN1.SGM
Estimated Number of Respondents:
18.
Frequency of Response:
Semiannually, annually, and initially.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:
3,043.
Estimated Total Annual Cost:
$248,264. Including $5,400 in O&M
costs, no annualized capital costs, and
$242,864 in labor costs.
Changes in the Estimates: There is no
change in the labor hours or cost in this
ICR compared to the previous ICR;
however, a rounding error was corrected
in the Annual Cost. There are no
changes due to two considerations.
First, the regulations have not changed
over the past three years and are not
anticipated to change over the next
three years. Secondly, the growth rate
for the industry is very low, negative or
non-existent, so there is no significant
change in the overall burden.
Since there are no changes in the
regulatory requirements and there is no
significant industry growth, the labor
hours and cost figures in the previous
ICR are used in this ICR, and there is no
change in burden to industry.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under
section 108(a) of the Clean Air Act
(CAA), the Administrator identifies and
lists certain pollutants which ‘‘cause or
contribute to air pollution which may
reasonably be anticipated to endanger
public health or welfare.’’ The EPA then
issues air quality criteria for listed
pollutants, which are commonly
referred to as ‘‘criteria pollutants.’’ The
air quality criteria are to ‘‘accurately
reflect the latest scientific knowledge
useful in indicating the kind and extent
of all identifiable effects on public
health or welfare which may be
expected from the presence of [a]
pollutant in the ambient air, in varying
quantities.’’ Under section 109 of the
CAA, EPA establishes NAAQS for each
listed pollutant, with the NAAQS based
on the air quality criteria. Section 109(d)
of the CAA requires periodic review
and, if appropriate, revision of existing
air quality criteria. The revised air
quality criteria reflect advances in
scientific knowledge on the effects of
the pollutant on public health or
welfare. The EPA is also required to
periodically review and revise the
NAAQS, if appropriate, based on the
revised criteria.
Air quality criteria have been
established for the nitrogen oxides
(NOX) and NAAQS have been
established for nitrogen dioxide (NO2),
an indicator for NOX. Presently, EPA is
reviewing the air quality criteria for
NOX and the NAAQS for NO2. As part
of its review of the NAAQS, EPA is
preparing an assessment of exposures
and health risks associated with
ambient NO2. A draft plan describing
the proposed approaches to assessing
exposures and risks is described in the
14APN1
 Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 72 / Monday, April 14, 2008 / Notices
draft document, Nitrogen Dioxide
Health Assessment Plan: Scope and
Methods for Exposure and Risk
Assessment. This document was
released for public review and comment
in September, 2007 and was the subject
of a consultation with the Clean Air
Scientific Advisory Committee (CASAC)
on October 24 and 25, 2007. Comments
received from that consultation have
been considered in developing the draft
risk and exposure assessment
documents being released at this time.
The draft documents convey the
approach taken to assess exposures to
ambient NO2 and to characterize
associated health risks, as well as to
present the results of those assessments.
These draft documents will be available
online at: http://www.epa.gov/ttn/
naaqs/standards/nox/
s_nox_cr_rea.html.
The EPA is soliciting advice and
recommendations from the CASAC by
means of a review on the draft
documents at an upcoming public
meeting of the CASAC. A Federal
Register notice will inform the public of
the date and location of that meeting.
Following the CASAC meeting, EPA
will consider comments received from
the CASAC and the public in preparing
a second draft risk and exposure
assessment report. The release of the
second draft report will be followed by
another CASAC meeting and ultimately
by a final risk and exposure assessment
report.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Ecological
risk assessment (ERA) is a process for
analyzing environmental problems and
is intended to increase the use of
ecological science in decision making in
order to evaluate the likelihood that
adverse ecological effects may occur or
are occurring as a result of exposure to
one or more stressors. Applying ERA
principles to watershed management
makes scientific information more
relevant to the needs of environmental
managers. Watershed ERAs are complex
because addressing impacts from
multiple sources and stressors on
multiple endpoints presents a scientific
challenge and because multiple
stakeholders have diverse interests. The
needs of managers and stakeholders
may change, and the need to take action
may require using the best available
information at the time, sometimes
before an ERA is completed. Therefore,
some flexibility of ERA methods is
needed when performing watershed
ERAs. It is also important that risk
assessors and managers interact
regularly and repeatedly.
This report supplements the
Guidelines for Ecological Risk
Assessment (U.S. EPA, 1998a) by
addressing issues unique to ecological
assessments of watersheds. Using
lessons learned from watershed ERAs,
the report presents guidance and
examples for scientists performing
watershed ecological assessments. The
report also can be useful to risk
assessors, watershed associations,
landscape ecologists, and others seeking
to increase the use of environmental
assessment data in decision making.

Each activity and phase of the
watershed ERA process is explained
sequentially in this report. Guidance on
how to involve stakeholders to generate
environmental management goals and
objectives is provided. The processes for
selecting assessment endpoints,
developing conceptual models, and
selecting the exposure and effects
pathways to be analyzed are described.
Suggestions for predicting how multiple
sources and stressors affect assessment
endpoints are also provided; these
include using multivariate analyses to
compare land use with biotic
measurements. In addition, the report
suggests how to estimate, describe, and
communicate risk and how to evaluate
management alternatives.
