Title: The Consolidated Federal Air
Rule for SOCMI (Renewal)
Abstract: This information collection
request (ICR) is for the Consolidated
Federal Air Rule (CAR) for the Synthetic
Organic Chemical Manufacturing
Industry (SOCMI) and its referencing
subparts. EPA will use this information
to ensure compliance with the
provisions in the CAR and its
referencing subparts.
E:\FR\FM\01SEN1.SGM

Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 169 / Thursday, September 1, 2005 / Notices
All existing sources must be in
compliance with the requirements of the
CAR and/or its referencing subparts
within three years of the effective date
(i.e., promulgation date) of the
appropriate standard for the affected
source. All new sources must be in
compliance with the requirements of the
CAR and/or its referencing subparts
upon startup or the promulgation date
of standards for an affected source,
whichever is later. Compliance is
assumed through initial performance
testing or design analysis, as
appropriate, and ongoing compliance is
demonstrated through parametric
monitoring. Types of parameters
monitored are incinerator temperature,
scrubber flow rate, carbon adsorber
regeneration frequency as well as others.
The appropriate parameter to monitor
depends on the type of control device
with which the owner or operator
chooses to comply.
The recordkeeping and reporting
requirements in the standards ensure
compliance with the applicable
regulations which were promulgated in
accordance with the Clean Air Act
(CAA). The collected information is also
used for targeting inspections and as
evidence in legal proceedings.
Performance tests are required in
order to determine an affected facility’s
initial capability to comply with the
emission standards. In addition,
continuous emission monitors are used
to ensure that the respondent complies
with the standards at all times. During
the performance test, a record of the
operating parameters under which
compliance was achieved may be
recorded and used to determine
compliance in place of a continuous
emission monitor.
The notifications required in the
standards are used to inform the Agency
or delegated authority when a source
becomes subject to the requirements of
the regulations. The reviewing authority
may then inspect the source to ensure
that the pollution control devices are
properly installed and operated, that
leaks are detected and repaired, and that
the standards are met. The performance
test may also be observed.
The required reports are used to
determine periods of excess emissions,
identify problems at the facility, verify
operation/maintenance procedures, and
for compliance determinations.
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 are listed
in 40 CFR part 9 and 48 CFR chapter 15,
VerDate Aug<18>2005

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 180 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:
Facilities in the Synthetic Organic
Chemical Manufacturing Industry.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
3,913.
Frequency of Response: Initially,
annually, semiannually and on
occasion.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:
2,057,270.
Estimated Total Annual Costs:
$226,718,704, which includes
$3,404,000 in annualized Capital/
startup costs, $91,956,000 annual O&M
costs, and $131,358,704 in Respondent
Labor Costs.
Changes in the Estimates: There is a
decrease in burden of 108,330 hours
from the most recently approved ICR.
Some 35,758 hours of the changes are a
program change for NSPS subparts Kb,
VV, DDD, III, NNN and RRR, which no
longer require Notifications of
Anticipated Startup. The balance of the
changes (72,572 hours) are adjustments
due primarily to correction of errors and
the addition of clerical and managerial
hours to the burden calculation. There
is a corresponding decrease in the
average hours per response of 29 hours;
from 209 hours per response to 180
hours per response. There was a
decrease of $4,561,000 in the Total
Capital/Startup and Operation and
Maintenance Costs due to an error in the
previous ICR regarding the costs for
monitoring equipment when
determining Total Capital/Startup and
Operation and Maintenance Costs for
subpart Kb and subpart G of the
Hazardous Organic National Emission
Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants
(HON). The cost for certain control

An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required

currently valid OMB Control Number. The OMB Control Numbers 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 180
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: Facilities in the Synthetic Organic
Chemical Manufacturing Industry.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 3,913.
Frequency of Response: Initially, annually, semiannually and on

when determining Total Capital/Startup and Operation and Maintenance
Costs for subpart Kb and subpart G of the Hazardous Organic National
