Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Wet-formed Fiberglass Mat Production were proposed on May 26, 2000 (65 FR 34251), and promulgated on April 11, 2002 (67 FR 17823). These standards apply to new and existing component processes at industrial facilities that manufacture wet-formed fiberglass mat including preparation of glass fibers, formation of fibers into a fiberglass mat, saturation with urea-formaldehyde binder solution, curing and drying the bindercoated fiberglass mat, cooling the mat, and trimming, cutting, and packaging. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 63, subpart HHHH. The monitoring, recordkeeping, and reporting requirements outlined in these rules are similar to those required for other NESHAP regulations. Consistent with the NESHAP General Provisions (40 CFR part 63, subpart A), respondents are required to submit initial notifications, conduct performance tests, and submit semiannual reports. They are also required to maintain records of applicability determinations; performance test results; exceedances; periods of startup, shutdown, or malfunction; monitoring records; and all other information needed to determine compliance with the applicable standard. An owner or operator subject to the provisions of this part shall 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. Records and reports must be retained for a total of 5 years, two years on-site. The files may be maintained on microfilm, on a computer or floppy disks, on magnetic tape disks, or on microfiche. 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 United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regional office. An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information E:\FR\FM\15DEN1.SGM 15DEN1 74314 Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 240 / Thursday, December 15, 2005 / Notices 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, 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 61 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: Manufacturers of wet-formed fiberglass mats. Estimated Number of Respondents: 14. Frequency of Response: Initial, semiannual and on occasion. Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 1,966 hours. Estimated Total Annual Costs: $158,672, which includes $0 Capital Expense/ startup costs, $0 Operation and Maintenance costs, and $158,672 in Respondent Labor costs. Changes in the Estimates: The decrease in labor burden to industry from the most recently approved ICR from 2,983 hours to 1,966 hours is due to the assumptions that existing sources are in compliance with the initial rule requirements and that there will be no new lines constructed over the threeyear period of this ICR. The total annualized capital and operations and maintenance costs decreased from $2,000 to none due to the lack of capital/startup costs associated with new sources purchasing continuous emission monitoring equipment. There was also an increase in labor rates for both industry and the Federal Government; however, it did not offset the reduction in labor burden described above.

ACTION: Notice of proposed settlement and consent order; request for public comment. AGENCY: SUMMARY: In accordance with section 113(g) of the Clean Air Act, as amended (‘‘Act’’), 42 U.S.C. 7413(g), notice is hereby given of a proposed settlement, which would be entered as a consent order, to address a lawsuit filed by South Jersey Environmental Justice Alliance (‘‘SJEJA’’), New Jersey Public Interest Research Group, South Camden Citizens in Action, and New Jersey Environmental Federation (collectively the ‘‘plaintiffs’’): SJEJA v. Johnson, 05– 6891 (RJH) (S.D.N.Y.). On or about August 2, 2005, the plaintiffs filed a complaint alleging that they had submitted a petition to EPA seeking an objection to a Clean Air Act Title V permit issued by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection to Camden County Energy Recovery Associates for its facility in Camden, New Jersey, and that the Administrator had failed to perform his nondiscretionary duty to respond to the petition within sixty days of the date it was filed. Under the terms of the proposed settlement and consent order, EPA has agreed to respond to the petition by January 20, 2006, and the plaintiffs have agreed to dismiss their suit with prejudice shortly thereafter. In addition, EPA has agreed to pay the plaintiffs a specified amount in settlement of the plaintiffs’ claims for attorneys’ fees in this matter. DATES: Written comments on the proposed settlement and consent order must be received by January 17, 2006. ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID number EPA– HQ–OGC–2005–0472, online at https:// www.regulations.gov (EPA’s preferred method); by e-mail to oei.docket@epa.gov; mailed to EPA Docket Center, Environmental Protection Agency, Mailcode: 2822T, 1200 Pennsylvania Ave., NW., Washington, DC 20460–0001; or by PO 00000 Frm 00026 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 hand delivery or courier to EPA Docket Center, EPA West, Room B102, 1301 Constitution Ave., NW., Washington, DC, between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday, excluding legal holidays.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Additional Information About the Proposed Settlement and Consent Order This proposed settlement and consent order would resolve a lawsuit seeking a response to a petition to object to a Title V permit issued by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection to Camden County Energy Recovery Associates for its facility in Camden, New Jersey (permit II–2005–01). Under the proposed settlement, if neither EPA nor the Department of Justice withdraws its consent to the proposed settlement following the thirty (30)-day comment period provided in this Notice, the plaintiffs and EPA have agreed to jointly ask that the Court enter this settlement as a consent order. The consent order, if entered, would require that the Administrator issue a response to the petition by January 20, 2006 and that the plaintiffs dismiss their lawsuit ten (10) days after the Administrator provides notice of its Order in the Federal Register. The consent order would also require that EPA pay the plaintiffs a specified amount in settlement of their claims for attorneys’ fees. The proposed settlement and consent order do not require the Administrator to respond to the petition in any particular way. For a period of thirty (30) days following the date of publication of this notice, the Agency will receive written comments relating to the proposed settlement and consent order from persons who were not named as parties or intervenors to the litigation in question. EPA or the Department of Justice may withdraw or withhold consent to the proposed settlement and consent order if the comments disclose facts or considerations that indicate that such consent is inappropriate, improper, inadequate, or inconsistent E:\FR\FM\15DEN1.SGM 15DEN1

    Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping 
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 61
