ICR Status: This is a request to renew an existing approved collection. This ICR is scheduled to expire on December 31, 2005. Under OMB regulations, the Agency may continue to conduct or sponsor the collection of information while this submission is pending at OMB. Abstract: The Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), Section 8(b), requires EPA to compile and keep current a complete list of chemical substances manufactured or processed in the United States. EPA updates this inventory of chemicals every four years by requiring manufacturers, processors and importers to provide production volume, plant site information and sitelimited status information. This information allows EPA to identify what chemicals are or are not currently in commerce and to take appropriate regulatory action as necessary. EPA also uses the information for screening chemicals for risks to human health or the environment, for priority-setting efforts, and for exposure estimates. Responses to the collection of information are mandatory (see 40 CFR 710). Respondents may claim all or part of a notice as CBI. EPA will disclose information that is covered by a CBI claim only to the extent permitted by, and in accordance with, the procedures in 40 CFR part 2. 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 E:\FR\FM\22DEN1.SGM 22DEN1 Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 245 / Thursday, December 22, 2005 / Notices cchase on PROD1PC60 with NOTICES numbers for EPA’s regulations in title 40 of the CFR, after appearing in the Federal Register, are listed in 40 CFR part 9 and included on the related collection instrument or form, if applicable. Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to range between 265 hours and 609 hours per response, depending upon the type(s) of chemical(s) that a respondent must report. 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 companies that manufacture, process or import chemical substances, mixtures or categories. Frequency of Collection: Every four years. Estimated total/average number of responses for each respondent: 1. Estimated No. of Respondents: 3,026. Estimated Total Annual Burden on Respondents: 413,575 hours. Estimated Total Annual Costs: $28,362,706. Changes in Burden Estimates: This request reflects a decrease of 2 hours (from 413,577 hours to 413,575 hours) in the total estimated respondent burden from that currently in the OMB inventory, reflecting a rounding error. This change is an adjustment. Dated: December 14, 2005. Oscar Morales, Director, Collection Strategies Division. [FR Doc.

ACTION: Notice. AGENCY: SUMMARY: This notice announces that, on October 13, 2005, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Region 5, issued a Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) permit to Great Lakes Band Corporate Commission (Grand Casino Mille Lacs). This permit authorizes the company to change the method of operation of the three existing diesel-fired engine-generator sets (generators) to provide peak load management and back-up power to the Grand Casino Resort and Hotel (the Facility). The Facility is located on land that is held in trust for the Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe Indians in Mille Lacs County, Minnesota. DATES: During the public comment period, ending July 22, 2005, EPA received no comments on the draft PSD permit. Therefore, in accordance with 40 CFR 124.15, this permit became effective immediately upon permit issuance, October 13, 2005, and EPA has issued it as final. ADDRESSES: The final signed permit is available for public inspection online at https://www.epa.gov/region5/air/ permits/epermits.htm or during normal business hours at the following address: EPA, Region 5, 77 West Jackson Boulevard (AR–18J), Chicago, Illinois 60604. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Richard Angelbeck, EPA, Region 5, 77 W. Jackson Boulevard (AR–18J), Chicago, Illinois 60604, (312) 886–9698, or angelbeck.richard@epa.gov. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This supplemental information is organized as follows: A. What Is the Background Information? B. What Action Is EPA Taking? A. What Is the Background Information? The subject generator sets are owned by Grand Casino Mille Lacs. These generators had been used solely as backup generators. This permit will now allow the generators to be put onto the peaking program of the local utility, as well as to continue to provide emergency power for Grand Casino Mille Lacs. The total generation capacity of the generators is 5.4 megawatts (MW). PO 00000 Frm 00033 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 76051 Electricity generated at the Facility is not sold for distribution. Since the potential emissions of nitrogen oxides (NOX) from the three generators were projected to be greater than 250 tons per year, in accordance with 40 CFR 52.21(b)(1), the Facility is considered a major stationary source and subject to the PSD permitting requirements. As required by 40 CFR part 52, Grand Casino Mille Lacs applied to EPA for a PSD permit and conducted a Best Available Control Technology (BACT) analysis, an air quality analysis, and an additional impact analyses. The federal PSD permit (No. PSD–ML–R50007–05–01) that EPA issued to Grand Casino Mille Lacs contains all applicable part 52 requirements. Among the permit’s terms is a 300-hour-per-year operating limit on all generators combined, restricting the Facility’s potential to emit NOX. In accordance with the requirements of 40 CFR 124.15, EPA provided the public with 30 days to comment on the draft permit. EPA received no comments. Consequently, EPA finalized the permit and provided copies to the applicant, pursuant to 40 CFR 124.15. B. What Action Is EPA Taking? EPA is notifying the public of the issuance of the PSD permit to Grand Casino Mille Lacs. Dated December 9, 2005. Bharat Mathur, Acting Regional Administrator, Region 5. [FR Doc.

collection of information while this submission is pending at OMB.
    Abstract: The Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), Section 8(b), 
requires EPA to compile and keep current a complete list of chemical 
substances manufactured or processed in the United States. EPA updates 
this inventory of chemicals every four years by requiring 
manufacturers, processors and importers to provide production volume, 
plant site information and site-limited status information. This 
information allows EPA to identify what chemicals are or are not 
currently in commerce and to take appropriate regulatory action as 
necessary. EPA also uses the information for screening chemicals for 
risks to human health or the environment, for priority-setting efforts, 
and for exposure estimates.
    Responses to the collection of information are mandatory (see 40 
CFR 710). Respondents may claim all or part of a notice as CBI. EPA 
will disclose information that is covered by a CBI claim only to the 
extent permitted by, and in accordance with, the procedures in 40 CFR 
part 2.
    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 title 40 of the CFR, after appearing 
in the Federal Register, are listed in 40 CFR part 9 and included on 
the related collection instrument or form, if applicable.
    Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping 
burden for this collection of information is estimated to range between 
265 hours and 609 hours per response, depending upon the type(s) of 
chemical(s) that a respondent must report. 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 companies that manufacture, process or import chemical 
substances, mixtures or categories.
    Frequency of Collection: Every four years.
    Estimated total/average number of responses for each respondent: 1.
    Estimated No. of Respondents: 3,026.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden on Respondents: 413,575 hours.
    Estimated Total Annual Costs: $28,362,706.
    Changes in Burden Estimates: This request reflects a decrease of 2 
hours (from 413,577 hours to 413,575 hours) in the total estimated 
respondent burden from that currently in the OMB inventory, reflecting 
a rounding error. This change is an adjustment.
