Respondents/Affected Entities:
Owners or operators of engine test cells/

Estimated Number of Respondents:
18.
Frequency of Response: Initially,
semiannually, and annually.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:
3,043 hours.
Estimated Total Annual Costs:
$248,264, which includes $0 annualized
Capital/Startup costs, $5,400 annual
O&M costs, and $242,864 Respondent
Labor costs.
Changes in the Estimates: There is an
increase of 203 hours in the total
estimated burden currently identified in
the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR
Burdens. The rule requires that all
sources will conduct a performance
evaluation and monitoring
demonstration once every five years.
Because of this ruling, the first six
sources in the active ICR will be
required to conduct this test on the third
year of this renewal. Since the
annualized burden for initial evaluation
and demonstration is computed by
averaging over the 3 year period of the
ICR, we have also averaged the
additional six update sources to reflect
two additional sources per year for the
5-year update.

Title: Recordkeeping and Periodic
Reporting of the Production, Import,
Recycling, Transshipment and
Feedstock Use of Ozone Depleting
Substances (Critical Use Exemption)
(Renewal)
Abstract: With this Information
Collection Request (ICR), the Office of
Air and Radiation (OAR) is seeking
permission to require the submission of
data from regulated industries to the
Environmental Protection Agency and
to require recordkeeping of key
documents to ensure compliance with
the Montreal Protocol on Substances
that Deplete the Ozone Layer (Protocol)
and the Clean Air Act under the critical
use exemption program (CUE).
Entities applied to EPA for a critical
use exemption that would allow for the
continued production and import of
methyl bromide after the phaseout in
January 2005. EPA used the data
submitted by users of methyl bromide to
create a nomination of critical uses that
was submitted to the Montreal
Protocol’s Ozone Secretariat for review
by an international panel of experts. The
uses authorized internationally by the
Parties to the Protocol have been made
available in the U.S. through a
regulatory action completed by EPA on
December 23, 2004. This ICR seeks to
characterize the burden associated with
producing, importing, distributing, and
using critically exempted methyl

28936
Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 96 / Thursday, May 19, 2005 / Notices
bromide as described in the final rule at
40 CFR part 82.
A proposed rule seeking comment
and a final rule implementing the
deregulatory action associated with the
reporting and recordkeeping
requirements outlined in this document
were published in the Federal Register
on August 25, 2004 (69 FR 52366) and
on December 23, 2004 (69 FR 76982)
respectively. However, the Agency
mistakenly did not have an ICR
approved by OMB during the
development of the rulemaking and is
seeking OMB approval for the burden
hours associated with the prior
rulemaking this time. Although the
Agency published the ICR information
with the proposed rule and received and
reconciled comments on the burden of
the rulemaking, the appropriate
paperwork had not been resubmitted to
OMB for their consideration with the
final rule and therefore the Agency is
now seeking approval for burden
associated with the CUE requirements.
At the present time, an emergency ICR
#2179.01, is in place to facilitate the
recordkeeping and reporting
requirements added to 40 CFR part 82
by the final CUE rule (69 FR 76982).
This information collection is
authorized under section 604(d)(6) of
the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990,
added by section 764 of the 1999
Omnibus Consolidated and Emergency
Supplemental Appropriations Act (Pub.
L. No. 105–277; October 21, 1998).
EPA drew upon experience
implementing similar regulations among
the same entities in order to derive
estimates of the burden associated with
the reporting and recordkeeping
requirements.
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 40
CFR are listed in 40 CFR part 9 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 0.49 hours per
response (1,371 hours divided by 2,802
responses). 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; 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:
Entities potentially affected by this
action are producers, importers,
distributors, and custom applicators of
methyl bromide as well as users of
methyl bromide who are farmers of
minor vegetable crops and companies
that store agricultural commodities.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
2054.
Frequency of Response: On occasion,
quarterly, annually.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:
1,371.
Estimated Total Annual Cost:
$154,602, which includes $0 annualized
capital/startup costs, $0 annual O&M
costs, and $154,602 annual labor costs.
Changes in the Estimates: There is a
increase of 577 hours in the total
estimated burden currently identified in
the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR
Burdens. This increase is due to changes
in the regulatory program which allows
for exemptions to the phaseout of
methyl bromide under certain
circumstances which must be reported
to EPA.
