Any comments related to this ICR
should be submitted to EPA and OMB
within 30 days of this notice. EPA’s
policy is that public comments, whether

Title: Tolerance Petitions for
Pesticides on Food/Feed Crops and New
Inert Ingredients.
ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 0597.09;
OMB Control No. 2070–0024.
Abstract: This information collection
will enable EPA to collect adequate data
to support the establishment of
pesticide tolerances pursuant to section
408 of the Federal Food, Drug and
Cosmetic Act (FFDCA). A pesticide may
not be used on food or feed crops unless
EPA has established a tolerance for the
pesticide residues on that crop, or
established an exemption from the
requirement to have a tolerance.
Responses to this collection are required
to obtain tolerances or exemptions from
tolerances for pesticides used on food or
feed crops, pursuant to section 408 of
FFDCA, 21 U.S.C. 346a, as amended by
FQPA (Pub. L. 104–170). Confidential
Business Information (CBI) submitted to
EPA in response to this information
collection is protected from disclosure
under FIFRA section 10.
This ICR only applies to the
information collection activities
associated with the submission of a
petition for a tolerance action. It is
EPA’s responsibility to ensure that the
maximum residue levels likely to be
found in or on food/feed crops are safe
for human consumption through a
careful review and evaluation of residue
chemistry and toxicology data. In
addition, it must ensure that adequate
enforcement of the tolerance can be
achieved through the testing of
submitted analytical methods. If the
data are adequate for EPA to determine
that there is a reasonable certainty that
no harm will result from aggregate
exposure, the Agency will establish the
tolerance or grant an exemption from
the requirement of a tolerance.
Under the FFDCA, any person may
petition EPA to propose the issuance of
a regulation establishing, modifying, or
revoking (a) a tolerance for a pesticide
chemical residue in or on food, or (b) an
exemption from the requirement to have
a tolerance for such residue. Section 408
of FFDCA requires petitioners submit an
information summary of the petition
and of the data, information and
arguments submitted or cited in support
VerDate Aug<31>2005
19:31 Jul 20, 2006
Jkt 208001
of the petition. In addition, EPA
encourages petitioners to voluntarily
submit additional data in support of
their petitions to help the Agency
determine whether there is a reasonable
certainty that no harm will result from
aggregate exposure.
Burden Statement: The annual public
reporting and recordkeeping burden for
this collection of information is
estimated to average 1,726 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: Any
person seeking a tolerance action.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
150.
Frequency of Response: As Needed.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:
258,900.
Estimated Total Annual Labor Cost:
$23,973,150.
Changes in the Estimates: There is no
increase or decrease in hours in the total
estimated burden currently identified in
the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR
Burdens.

Title: NESHAP for Coke Oven Pushing
Quenching and Battery Stacks (40 CFR
Part 63, Subpart CCCCC).
ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number
1995.03, OMB Control Number 2060–
0521.
ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled 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,
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 Coke Oven Pushing
Quenching and Battery Stacks were
proposed on July 3, 2001 (66 FR 35325)
and, promulgated on April 14, 2003 (68
FR 18007). The respondents are owners
or operators of coke plants that are
major sources of hazardous air pollutant
(HAP) emissions. The national emission
standard for hazardous air pollutants
(NESHAP) applies to emissions from
pushing, soaking, quenching, and
battery stacks on new and existing coke
oven batteries. This information is being
collected to assure compliance with 40
CFR part 63, subpart CCCCC.
VerDate Aug<31>2005

Jkt 208001
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 223 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 coke oven
facilities.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
19.
Frequency of Response: On occasion,
semiannually, weekly and initially.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:
25,208.
Estimated Total Annual Cost:
$169,500, includes O&M costs only.
Changes in the Estimates: The
increase from 2,209 hours to 25,208
hours in the annual labor burden to
industry from the most recently
PO 00000
Frm 00025
Fmt 4703

approved ICR is due to adjustments. The
increase in burden from the most
recently approved ICR is due to the
assumption that all existing sources are
in full compliance with the rule ongoing monitoring, recordkeeping and
reporting requirements since the
compliance date has passed. The active
ICR burden calculation was based on
sources only complying with the initial
rule requirements.
The increase from $83,000 to
$169,500 in the total annualized capital
and operations and maintenance (O&M)
costs are due to the assumption that
respondents are in full compliance with
the rule on-going requirements, as
mentioned above. Even when there are
no capital and startup costs for this
renewal of the ICR, the costs for
operation and maintenance of bag leak
detectors and continuous opacity
monitors increased significantly since
we are accounting such costs for all
three years of this ICR.
