Title: Certification in Lieu of
Chloroform Minimum Monitoring
Requirements for Direct and Indirect
Discharging Mills in the Bleached
Papergrade Kraft and Soda Subcategory
of the Pulp, Paper and Paperboard Point
Source Category (Renewal).
Abstract: The Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) imposed
minimum monitoring requirements on
bleached papergrade kraft and soda
(subpart B) mills under 40 CFR part 430
as part of the final Cluster Rules
promulgated on April 15, 1998. The
provisions required direct and indirect
discharging subpart B mills to monitor
their effluent for certain pollutants,
including chloroform, at specified
frequencies. Subsequently, EPA has
promulgated an amendment to the
Cluster Rules that allows direct and
indirect discharging subpart B mills to
demonstrate compliance with
applicable chloroform limitations and
standards under 40 CFR part 430 in lieu
of monitoring at a fiber line required by
40 CFR 430.02 by certifying (1) that the
fiber line is not using elemental chlorine
or hypochlorite as bleaching agents and
(2) that it also maintains certain process
and operating conditions identified
during the initial compliance
demonstration period of not less than
two years, where the facility must
monitor for chloroform at the minimum
PO 00000
Frm 00027
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
frequency required by 40 CFR 430.02, at
a minimum, to demonstrate compliance
with applicable chloroform limitations.
These mills must submit a report
summarizing the results of the initial
compliance demonstration period and
subsequently submit periodic
certification reports confirming that the
participating fiber line continues to
operate within the range of process and
operating conditions documented
during the initial compliance
demonstration period.
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 six 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; 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:
Operations that chemically pulp wood
using kraft or soda methods to produce
bleached papergrade pulp, paperboard,
coarse paper, tissue paper, fine paper,
and/or paperboard.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
80.
Frequency of Response: not less than
annually for direct dischargers and less
than twice annually for indirect
dischargers.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:
480.
Estimated Total Reduction in Annual
Cost: $31,000, includes $0 annualized
capital or O&M costs.
Changes in the Estimates: There is no
change in the total estimated burden
currently identified in the OMB
Inventory of Approved ICR Burdens.

Critical Use Exemption from the
Phaseout of Methyl Bromide (Renewal).
Abstract: With this Information
Collection Request (ICR), EPA’s Office
of Air and Radiation (OAR) and Office
of Pollution Prevention and Toxic
Substances (OPPTS), are continuing the
existing request for critical use
exemption applications for methyl
bromide, under the Clean Air Act (CAA)
and in accordance with U.S. obligations
under the Montreal Protocol on
Substances that Deplete the Ozone
Layer (Protocol). This information is
collected so that the U.S. government
can submit a technically valid and
robust methyl bromide critical use
exemption Nomination to the Ozone
Secretariat of the United Nations
Environment Programme on an annual
basis. Since 2002, this information has
primarily been collected through
agricultural consortia, and also through
individuals who have submitted
applications to EPA. If an applicant
indicates that the application contains
Confidential Business Information (CBI),
that information will be treated as such
by EPA. Responses to the collection of
information are required for users to
obtain a critical use exemption benefit.
EPA may consider a different format for
the application in conjunction with this
Information Collection Request
Renewal, in order to reduce Agency
burden during the compilation of the
annual Nomination.
EPA received one comment on the
Notice published on February 11, 2005
(70 FR 7254) requesting the Agency to
not exempt any methyl bromide for
critical uses and opposing use of methyl
bromide. The CAA allows the Agency to
create an exemption for critical uses to
the extent consistent with the Protocol.
The Protocol authorizes exemptions to
the extent decided by the Parties.
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 50 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
