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.

Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for reinforced plastic VerDate Aug<31>2005 15:45 May 03, 2006 Jkt 208001 composites (RPC) production operations and processes, published at 40 CFR part 63, subpart WWWW, were proposed on August 2, 2001 (66 FR 40323), and promulgated on April 21, 2003 (68 FR 19375). These standards regulate fugitive emissions from reinforced plastic composites (RPC) production operations and processes resulting from hazardous air pollutants (HAP) evaporating from the resins, gel coats, and cleaning solvents used in it. The owner or operator of a RPC manufacturing facility must control hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) by either limiting the HAP content of materials used and using non-atomized spray application in the manufacturing processes or by using an enclosure and add-on control device. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 63, subpart WWWW. Owners and operators of affected sources are subject to the monitoring, recordkeeping and reporting requirements of 40 CFR part 63, subpart A, the General Provisions, unless specified otherwise in the regulation. This rule requires sources to submit initial notifications, conduct performance tests if source is using an add-on control device, and submit periodic compliance reports. In addition, sources are required to maintain records of the occurrence and duration of any startup, shutdown, or malfunction in the operation if using an add-on control device; any period during which the monitoring system is inoperative; parametric monitoring data; system maintenance and calibration; and work practices to demonstrate initial and ongoing compliance with the regulation. Records of such measurements and actions are to be retained two years on-site of the required total five years. 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. Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 16 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 PO 00000 Frm 00042 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 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. Respondents/Affected Entities: Owners or operators of reinforced plastic composites (RPC) production operations and processes. Estimated Number of Respondents: 504. Frequency of Response: On occasion, semiannually, and initially. Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 17,740. Estimated Total Annual Cost: $1,454,143. which includes 0 annualized capital startup costs, $22,000 annualized O&M costs and $1,432,143 annualized labor costs. Changes in the Estimates: The increase in labor burden to industry from the most recently approved ICR from 13,785 hours to 17,740 is due to adjustments. The increase in burden from the most recently approved ICR is primarily due to an increase from 435 to 488 in the number of existing sources, the assumption that all existing sources are in full compliance with the rule requirements, and because our estimates show that an average of 16 new respondents each year will become subject to this standard over the threeyear period of this ICR. The total annualized capital and operations and maintenance (O&M) costs increase from $15,807 to $21,680 is based on an increase in the number of sources. There are no startup capital costs since monitors are an integral part of the control equipment necessary to determine that it is operating properly. In addition, we have assumed that any new respondent has the software to develop the necessary spreadsheets for their recordkeeping system. The estimated annual O&M costs averaged over the three years of this ICR are associated with other costs, not associated with monitoring equipment. We estimate that file storage and photocopying costs per response are estimated at $12.50 per hour of clerical labor, and first class postage is estimated at $7.63 per response for mailing to regulatory agencies. Therefore, we estimate the annual O&M cost to be $21,680 based on 1,077 responses and an average of one hour of clerical work per response. Dated: April 27, 2006.

    Title: NESHAP for Reinforced Plastic Composites Production 
(Renewal).
    ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 1976.03, OMB Control Number 2060-0509.
    ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on May 31, 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 and 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: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air 
Pollutants (NESHAP) for reinforced plastic composites (RPC) production 
operations and processes, published at 40 CFR part 63, subpart WWWW, 
were proposed on August 2, 2001 (66 FR 40323), and promulgated on April 
21, 2003 (68 FR 19375). These standards regulate fugitive emissions 
from reinforced plastic composites (RPC) production operations and 
processes resulting from hazardous air pollutants (HAP) evaporating 
from the resins, gel coats, and cleaning solvents used in it. The owner 
or operator of a RPC manufacturing facility must control hazardous air 
pollutants (HAPs) by either limiting the HAP content of materials used 
and using non-atomized spray application in the manufacturing processes 
or by using an enclosure and add-on control device. This information is 
being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 63, subpart WWWW.
    Owners and operators of affected sources are subject to the 
monitoring, recordkeeping and reporting requirements of 40 CFR part 63, 
subpart A, the General Provisions, unless specified otherwise in the 
regulation. This rule requires sources to submit initial notifications, 
conduct performance tests if source is using an add-on control device, 
and submit periodic compliance reports. In addition, sources are 
required to maintain records of the occurrence and duration of any 
startup, shutdown, or malfunction in the operation if using an add-on 
control device; any period during which the monitoring system is 
inoperative; parametric monitoring data; system maintenance and 
calibration; and work practices to demonstrate initial and ongoing 
compliance with the regulation. Records of such measurements and 
actions are to be retained two years on-site of the required total five 
years. 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.
    Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping 
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 16 
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.
    Respondents/Affected Entities: Owners or operators of reinforced 
plastic composites (RPC) production operations and processes.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 504.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion, semiannually, and initially.
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 17,740.
    Estimated Total Annual Cost: $1,454,143. which includes 0 
annualized capital startup costs, $22,000 annualized O&M costs and 
$1,432,143 annualized labor costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: The increase in labor burden to industry 
from the most recently approved ICR from 13,785 hours to 17,740 is due 
to adjustments. The increase in burden from the most recently approved 
ICR is primarily due to an increase from 435 to 488 in the number of 
existing sources, the assumption that all existing sources are in full 
compliance with the rule requirements, and because our estimates show 
that an average of 16 new respondents each year will become subject to 
this standard over the three-year period of this ICR.
    The total annualized capital and operations and maintenance (O&M) 
costs increase from $15,807 to $21,680 is based on an increase in the 
number of sources. There are no startup capital costs since monitors 
are an integral part of the control equipment necessary to determine 
that it is operating properly. In addition, we have assumed that any 
new respondent has the software to develop the necessary spreadsheets 
for their recordkeeping system. The estimated annual O&M costs averaged 
over the three years of this ICR are associated with other costs, not 
associated with monitoring equipment. We estimate that file storage and 
photocopying costs per response are estimated at $12.50 per hour of 
clerical labor, and first class postage is estimated at $7.63 per 
response for mailing to regulatory agencies. Therefore, we estimate the 
annual O&M cost to be $21,680 based on 1,077 responses and an average 
of one hour of clerical work per response.
