Download as PDF mstockstill on PROD1PC68 with NOTICES 26358 Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 86 / Thursday, May 4, 2006 / Notices Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for printing, coating and dyeing of fabrics and other textiles were proposed on July 11, 2002 (67 FR 46028), promulgated on May 29, 2003 (68 FR 32172), and amended on August 4, 2004 (69 FR 47001). These standards apply to each existing, new or reconstructed printing coating slashing, dyeing or finishing of fabric and other textiles. Owners or operators of the affected facilities must make the following notification: (1) Initial notification, (2) notification of initial performance test, (3) notification of compliance status. Affected sources must submit an initial compliance status report, and a startup, shutdown, and malfunction (SSM) plan. Respondents are also required to maintain records of the occurrence and duration of any startup, shutdown, or malfunction. Any owner or operator subject to the provisions of this subpart must maintain a file of these measurements, and retain the file for at least five years following the collection of such measurements, 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 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 69 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 which have subsequently changed; 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. VerDate Aug<31>2005 15:45 May 03, 2006 Jkt 208001 Respondents/Affected Entities: Printing, coating, and dyeing of fabrics and other textiles facilities. Estimated Number of Respondents: 140. Frequency of Response: On occasion, semiannually and initially. Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 20,821. Estimated Total Annual Cost: $1,687,831 which includes $3,000 annualized capital start-up costs, $4,000 annualized O&M costs, and annualized labor costs of $1,680,831. Changes in the Estimates: There is a decrease of 8,670 hours in the total estimated burden currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR Burdens. The decrease in burden from the most recently approved ICR is due to the requirements of the standard, which requires all existing sources to be in compliance within three years. Therefore, all existing sources are assumed to be in compliance, and the burden associated with the initial compliance efforts no longer exists. There was a decrease in the capital/ startup and operations and maintenance (O&M) costs from the previous ICR. The reason for this decrease is that we are accounting only for the number of respondents associated with the O&M costs, not for the number of annual reports used in the previous ICR.

Title: Reporting Requirements Under EPA’s National Partnership For Environmental Priorities (Renewal) ICR Numbers: EPA ICR No. 2076.02, OMB Control No. 2050–0190 ICR Status: This ICR is currently scheduled to expire on April 30, 2006. Under OMB regulations, the Agency may continue to conduct or sponsor the collection of information while this submission is pending at OMB. 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 when approved, are listed in 40 CFR part 9, are displayed either by publication in the Federal Register or by other appropriate means, such as on the related collection instrument or form, if applicable. The display of OMB control numbers in certain EPA regulations is consolidated in 40 CFR part 9. Abstract: EPA currently has an ongoing national program that, through source reduction, reuse, and recycling, encourages a reduction in use or the minimization of release of hazardous chemicals. Participation in the National Partnership for Environmental Priorities (NPEP) (previously the National Waste Minimization Partnership Program) is completely voluntary. Participation begins when the Enrollment Form is submitted and accepted by EPA. The form asks for basic site identification information as well as information on the company’s chemical reduction goals under the program. Once in the program, partners will also have an opportunity to complete and submit a Success Story when they have accomplished steps toward reaching the goal(s) established during their enrollment in the program. The Success Story also serves as the application for the NPEP Achievement Award. These Success Stories will be available on EPA’s National Waste Minimization Program website. Each success story will describe a partner’s waste minimization techniques, VerDate Aug<31>2005 15:45 May 03, 2006 Jkt 208001 implementation problems, lessons learned, benefits, and relevant implications. These forms will enable the Agency to establish a partner’s progress and the overall success of the program. They will also allow the Agency to recognize partner accomplishments in a formal manner, if appropriate (e.g., at a recognition ceremony or by congratulatory letter). Burden Statement: The annual public reporting burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 16 hours per response for the Enrollment Form and 9 hours per response for the Success Stories. 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 those which generate, store, and treat hazardous waste. Estimated Number of Respondents: 163. Frequency of Response: On occasion. Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 642. Estimated Total Annual Cost: $0. Changes in the Estimates: There is a decrease of 2,593 hours in the total estimated burden currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR Burdens. The reason for the decrease is because in the original ICR EPA overestimated the number of partners that would be enrolled in the program. EPA also overestimated the amount of time it would take an enrollee to fill out and submit the enrollment form. For this renewal, EPA was able to canvas partners for more realistic burden estimates.
