ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 2023.03, OMB Control Number 2060– 0513. ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on June 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 request for 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 48 CFR Chapter 15 and 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: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Clay Ceramics Manufacturing were proposed on July 22, 2002, and promulgated on May 16, 2003. These standards apply to each new and existing clay ceramic manufacturing facility that manufactures pressed floor tile, pressed wall tile, other pressed tiles, or sanitaryware (e.g., sinks and toilets). Clay ceramics facilities typically form, dry, and fire tile or sanitaryware products that are composed of clay, shale, and various additives. Glazes are applied to some tile and sanitaryware products. The predominant hazardous air pollutants (HAP) emitted from clay ceramics manufacturing facilities include hydrogen fluoride (HF), hydrogen chloride (HCl), and metals (antimony, arsenic, beryllium, cadmium, chromium, cobalt, mercury, manganese, nickel, lead, and selenium). Owners, or operators of the affected facilities must make the required initial notifications, performance tests, and E:\FR\FM\11JYN1.SGM 11JYN1 sroberts on PROD1PC70 with NOTICES 39102 Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 132 / Tuesday, July 11, 2006 / Notices periodic reports. They also are required to maintain records of the occurrence and duration of any startup, shutdown, or malfunction in the operation of an affected facility, or any period during which the monitoring system is inoperative. These notifications, reports, and records are essential in determining compliance and are required of all affected facilities subject to NESHAP. Respondents also are required to submit semiannual reports. Any owner, or operator subject to the provisions of this part 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 appropriate EPA regional office. Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 17 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: Clay ceramics manufacturing facilities. Estimated Number of Respondents: 10. Frequency of Response: On occasion, semiannually and initially. Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 527. Estimated Total Annual Cost: $3,000 (rounded) includes $2,468 annualized capital/startup cost and $702 O&M costs. Changes in the Estimates: There is an increase of 342 hours in the total estimated burden currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR Burdens. The increase in burden from the most recently approved ICR is due to the fact that the number of respondents has increased at the rate of one per year over the three-year period VerDate Aug<31>2005 16:49 Jul 10, 2006 Jkt 208001 of this ICR. An increase in the labor rate also has contributed to the increase. There has been an increase in the capital/startup and operations and maintenance (O&M) costs since the previous ICR. The reason for this increase is that we are accounting for nine respondents with operation and maintenance costs. Dated: June 27, 2006. Oscar Morales, Director, Collection Strategies Division.

    Title: NESHAP for Clay Ceramics Manufacturing.
    ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 2023.03, OMB Control Number 2060-0513.
    ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on June 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 request for 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 48 CFR Chapter 
15 and are displayed either by publication in the Federal Register, or

in certain EPA regulations is consolidated in 40 CFR part 9.
    Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air 
Pollutants (NESHAP) for Clay Ceramics Manufacturing were proposed on 
July 22, 2002, and promulgated on May 16, 2003. These standards apply 
to each new and existing clay ceramic manufacturing facility that 
manufactures pressed floor tile, pressed wall tile, other pressed 
tiles, or sanitaryware (e.g., sinks and toilets). Clay ceramics 
facilities typically form, dry, and fire tile or sanitaryware products 
that are composed of clay, shale, and various additives. Glazes are 
applied to some tile and sanitaryware products. The predominant 
hazardous air pollutants (HAP) emitted from clay ceramics manufacturing 
facilities include hydrogen fluoride (HF), hydrogen chloride (HCl), and 
metals (antimony, arsenic, beryllium, cadmium, chromium, cobalt, 
mercury, manganese, nickel, lead, and selenium).
    Owners, or operators of the affected facilities must make the 
required initial notifications, performance tests, and

periodic reports. They also are required to maintain records of the 
occurrence and duration of any startup, shutdown, or malfunction in the 
operation of an affected facility, or any period during which the 
monitoring system is inoperative. These notifications, reports, and 
records are essential in determining compliance and are required of all 
affected facilities subject to NESHAP. Respondents also are required to 
submit semiannual reports.
    Any owner, or operator subject to the provisions of this part 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 appropriate EPA 
regional office.
    Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping 
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 17 
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: Clay ceramics manufacturing 
facilities.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 10.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion, semiannually and initially.
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 527.
    Estimated Total Annual Cost: $3,000 (rounded) includes $2,468 
annualized capital/startup cost and $702 O&M costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is an increase of 342 hours in the 
total estimated burden currently identified in the OMB Inventory of 
Approved ICR Burdens. The increase in burden from the most recently 
approved ICR is due to the fact that the number of respondents has 
increased at the rate of one per year over the three-year period of 
this ICR. An increase in the labor rate also has contributed to the 
increase.
    There has been an increase in the capital/startup and operations 
and maintenance (O&M) costs since the previous ICR. The reason for this 
increase is that we are accounting for nine respondents with operation 
and maintenance costs.
