(Renewal).
ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number
0113.09, OMB Control Number 2060–
0097.
ICR Status: This ICR is schedules to
expire on August 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,
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 mercury were proposed
on December 7, 1971, promulgated on
April 6, 1973, and amended on October
14, 1975, March 19, 1987 and October
17, 2000. These standards apply to all
stationary sources which process
mercury ore to recover mercury, use
mercury chlor-alkali cells to produce
chlorine gas and alkali metal hydroxide,
and incinerate or dry wastewater
treatment plant sludge. Approximately
107 sources (100 sludge incineration
and drying plants and seven mercurycell chlor-alkali plants) are currently
subject to the standard; and no

41012
Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 138 / Wednesday, July 19, 2006 / Notices
additional sources are expected to
become subject to the standard in the
next three years. Mercury is the
pollutant regulated under this standard.
This information is being collected to
ensure compliance with 40 CFR part 61,
subpart E.
Owners or operators of affected
facilities must make the following onetime only notification: Date of
construction or reconstruction,
anticipated and actual dates of startup;
physical or operational change to an
existing facility; date of initial
performance test; and results of initial
performance test. These facilities must
also maintain records of performance
test results, and startup, shutdowns, and
malfunctions. In order to ensure
compliance with the standards,
adequate recordkeeping and reporting is
necessary. This information enables the
Agency to identify the sources subject to
the standard, ensure initial compliance
with emission limits, and verify
continuous compliance with the
standard.
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 two 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 160 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
VerDate Aug<31>2005

Jkt 208001
review the collection of information;
and transmit or otherwise disclose the
information.
Respondents/Affected Entities:
Mercury processing facilities.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
107.
Frequency of Response: Annually,
semiannually, and initially.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:
20,490.
Estimated Total Annual Costs: Zero.
Changes in the Estimates: There is an
increase of 2,672 hours in the total
estimated burden currently identified in
the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR
Burdens. The increase in burden is due
to the fact that we are presently
accounting for technical, managerial,
and clerical burdens in the renewal
package. The previous version of the
ICR omitted the managerial and clerical
burdens and used only technical. There
was also a change in the labor rate
which contributed to the increase in
cost.
There are no changes in the capital/
startup and operations and maintenance
(O&M) costs from the previous ICR.
