Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 139 / Thursday, July 21, 2005 / Notices
2000). The results will be used to
develop mathematical relationships that
will be used for the generation of new
national water quality guidelines and
appropriate monitoring guidelines.
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 23 minutes 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:
Entities potentially affected by this
action are families frequenting fresh and
marine water beaches in the continental
United States.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
7,000.
Frequency of Response: 2 times.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:
5,250 hours.
Estimated Total Annual Cost:
$77,000, includes $0 annualized capital
or O&M costs and $77,000 annual labor
costs.
Changes in the Estimates: There is a
increase of 2,500 respondents in the
total estimated burden currently
identified in the OMB Inventory of
Approved ICR Burdens. Due to
increased pressure to expeditiously
complete the study, the study team may
complete more than one beach per year,
thus increasing the number of
participants enrolled in the study
annually. This renewal ICR 2081.02
reflects the estimated respondent and
agency burden for two beaches per year,
whereas the estimates in the previous
ICR (EPA ICR Number 2081.01) account
for only one beach annually. Although
there is a significant increase in the
VerDate jul<14>2003
19:42 Jul 20, 2005
Jkt 205001
number of respondents, there is only an
increase of 250 burden hours in the total
estimated burden currently identified in
the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR
Burdens. This is due to the fact that the
original ICR (EPA ICR Number 2081.01)
included a second telephone survey that
has been eliminated in this renewal ICR
and consequently has reduced the total
hours for each respondent.

Title: NESHAP for Oil and Natural
Gas Production.
Abstract: This information collection
request addresses Clean Air Act
information collection requirements in
standards published at 40 CFR part 63,
subpart HH, which have mandatory
recordkeeping and reporting
requirements. These regulations were
proposed on February 6, 1998,
promulgated on June 17, 1999, and
apply to major sources of hazardous air
pollutants (HAP) and that process,
upgrade, or store (1) hydrocarbon
liquids (with the exception of those
facilities that exclusively handle black
oil) to the point of custody transfer and
(2) natural gas from the well up to and
including the natural gas processing
plant. Specifically exempted from this
regulation are oil and natural gas
production wells. In general, all
NESHAP standards require initial
notifications, performance tests, and
periodic reports. Owners or operators
are also required to maintain records of
the occurrence and duration of any
start-up, shutdown, or malfunction in
the operation of an affected facility, or
any period during which the monitoring
system is inoperative. These
notifications, reports, and records are
essential in determining compliance,
and are required of all sources subject
to NESHAP.
Any owner or operator subject to the
provisions of this part shall maintain a
file of these records, and retain the file
for at least 5 years following the date of
such occurrences, 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.
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 187 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
VerDate jul<14>2003

Jkt 205001
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 those that process, upgrade,
or store (1) hydrocarbon liquids to the
point of custody transfer and (2) natural
gas from the well up to and including
the natural gas processing plant.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
127,202.
Frequency of Response: On occasion,
semi-annually.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:
175,907 hours.
Estimated Total Capital and
Operations & Maintenance (O&M)
Annual Costs: $495,720 which includes
$20,400 annualized capital/startup costs
and $475,320 annual O&M costs.
Changes in the Estimates: There is an
increase of 146,418 hours in the total
estimated burden currently identified in
the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR
Burdens. This change is primarily due
to the consideration of the
recordkeeping burden on respondents
required to keep records of their
determination of applicability, but that
are not subject to the emission control
requirements of the NESHAP.

exclusively handle black oil) to the point of custody transfer and (2)
natural gas from the well up to and including the natural gas
processing plant. Specifically exempted from this regulation are oil
and natural gas production wells. In general, all NESHAP standards
require initial notifications, performance tests, and periodic reports.
Owners or operators are also required to maintain records of the
occurrence and duration of any start-up, shutdown, or malfunction in
the operation of an affected facility, or any period during which the
monitoring system is inoperative. These notifications, reports, and
records are essential in determining compliance, and are required of
all sources subject to NESHAP.
Any owner or operator subject to the provisions of this part shall
maintain a file of these records, and retain the file for at least 5
years following the date of such occurrences, 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.
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 187
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

Estimated Total Capital and Operations & Maintenance (O&M) Annual
Costs: $495,720 which includes $20,400 annualized capital/startup costs
and $475,320 annual O&M costs.
Changes in the Estimates: There is an increase of 146,418 hours in
the total estimated burden currently identified in the OMB Inventory of
Approved ICR Burdens. This change is primarily due to the consideration
of the recordkeeping burden on respondents required to keep records of
their determination of applicability, but that are not subject to the
emission control requirements of the NESHAP.
