Download as PDF jlentini on PROD1PC65 with NOTICES 30676 Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 103 / Tuesday, May 30, 2006 / Notices Reports are handled as confidential business information. EPA stores the submitted information in a computerized database designed to track allowance balances and transfer activities. When electronic reporting is available, EPA will change its guidance document. EPA uses collected information to ensure that the U.S. maintains compliance with the Protocol caps, to report annually to United Nations Environment Programme the U.S. activity in HCFCs, and to ensure that allowance holders are in compliance. The respondents are producers, importers, and exporters of HCFCs; and entities granted HCFC–141b exemption allowances. Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information currently estimated to average less than one hour 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. The ICR provides a detailed explanation of the Agency’s estimate, which is only briefly summarized here: Estimated total number of potential respondents: 70; Frequency of response: quarterly, annually, semi-annually, or one-time only; Estimated total average number of responses for each respondent: 342; Estimated total annual burden hours: 1632 hours for respondents; Estimated total annual cost: $138,963, which includes $138,123 labor costs, $0 capital/startup costs, and $840 annual O&M costs. Changes in the Estimates: There is a decrease of 1660 hours in the total estimated burden and a decrease of $333,234 currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR Burdens. This decrease is due to adjustments that EPA made in its assumptions, the lack of additional capital costs necessary to meet the requirements, and certain VerDate Aug<31>2005 16:51 May 26, 2006 Jkt 208001 inconsistencies found in the previous analysis. The previously approved ICR estimated 8 hours for a respondent to prepare and submit a report. This ICR estimates a respondent will need 4.5 hours. The 4.5-hour estimate is based on recent feedback from respondents under the program and is therefore more reliable and up-to-date than the eighthour estimate. Additionally, in comparison with three years ago, respondents are more familiar with the reporting requirements and have improved their processes for collecting and documenting the information requested. Any capital costs required to comply with the requirements were met under the previous ICR. Lastly, while developing supporting materials for this ICR, EPA uncovered and corrected inconsistencies associated with the previous ICR. Consequently, the burden for the respondents has been greatly reduced for reporting the information. The option of electronic reporting imposes a minimal change to burden estimates because of the start-up hours associated with electronic reporting that EPA estimates will be required during the three years of this ICR. While electronic reporting is eventually expected to reduce the reporting burden for respondents, as well as the O&M costs, the reduction will not be seen until after this ICR period.

Owners or operators of the affected facilities described must make initial reports when a source becomes subject to the standard, conduct and report on a performance test, demonstrate and report on continuous monitor performance, and maintain records of the occurrence and duration of any startup, shutdown, or malfunction in the operation of an affected facility. Semiannual reports of excess emissions are required. These notifications, reports, and records are essential in determining compliance; and are required, in general, of all sources subject to National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP). Any 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. All reports are sent to the delegated state or local authority. In the event that there is no such VerDate Aug<31>2005 16:51 May 26, 2006 Jkt 208001 delegated authority, the reports are sent directly to the EPA regional office.
