Download as PDF sroberts on PROD1PC70 with NOTICES 42380 Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 143 / Wednesday, July 26, 2006 / Notices 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 secondary aluminum production were proposed on February 11, 1999, and promulgated on March 23, 2002, with final rule amendments published on December 30, 2002. These regulations apply to component processes at secondary aluminum production plants that are major sources and area sources including aluminum scrap shredders, thermal chip dryers, scrap dryers/delacquering kilns/ decoating kilns, secondary aluminum processing units (SAPUs) composed of in-line fluxers and process furnaces (including both melting and holding furnaces of various configurations), sweat furnaces, dross-only furnaces, and rotary dross coolers, commencing construction, or reconstruction after the date of proposal. As a result of a rule amendment in 2002, owners and operators of certain aluminum die casting facilities, aluminum foundries, and aluminum extrusion facilities were excluded from the rule coverage. Respondents do not include the owner or operator of any facility that is not a major source of hazardous air pollutant (HAP) emissions except for those that are area sources of dioxin/furan emissions. In general all NESHAP standards require initial notifications, performance tests, and periodic reports. Owners or operators are also required to maintain records of the occurrence and duration of any startup, shutdown, and malfunction in the operation of an affected facility, or any period during which the monitoring system is inoperative. The notifications, reports, and records are essential in determining compliance, and are required of all sources subject to NESHAP. Semiannual reports are also required. 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 five years following the collection of such measurements, maintenance reports, and records. All VerDate Aug<31>2005 17:16 Jul 25, 2006 Jkt 208001 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 29 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: Secondary aluminum production plants. Estimated Number of Respondents: 1,624. Frequency of Response: On occasion, initially, and semiannually. Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 93,725. Estimated Total Annual Costs: $8,164,143 which includes $84,000 annualized Capital Startup costs, $142,000 annualized O&M costs, and $7,938,143 annualized labor costs. Changes in the Estimates: There is a decrease of 1,273 hours in the total estimated burden currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR Burdens. The decrease in burden is due to a decrease in the number of sources. This decrease is due to a number of sweat furnaces going out of business because of the current economic environment. There is also four less additional sources per-year as compared to the previous ICR. There is a decrease in the capital/ startup and operations and maintenance (O&M) costs from the previous ICR. This is due to the fact that there are four less PO 00000 Frm 00035 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 sources as compared to the previous ICR. Dated: July 11, 2006.

ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 2221.01, OMB Control No. 2090–new. ICR status: This ICR is for a new information collection activity. 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 sroberts on PROD1PC70 with NOTICES SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: VerDate Aug<31>2005 17:16 Jul 25, 2006 Jkt 208001 form, if applicable. The display of OMB control numbers in certain EPA regulations is consolidated in 40 CFR part 9. Abstract: EPA’s Initiative on Aging is planning to launch a Smart Growth and Active Aging National Recognition Program for communities, municipalities, tribes, and counties (collectively referred to as ‘‘communities’’). Communities would submit a letter to EPA indicating that their State or local Area Agency on Aging is engaged in their smart growth planning activities and active aging programs, and complete an on-line questionnaire describing their processes and programs in these two areas. The purpose of the Program is to recognize communities that excel in promoting the health and well-being of older adults through smart growth and active aging and to raise public awareness of the interconnectedness and importance of these two areas to the aging population. In addition, the on-line questionnaire would include links to helpful information on the Internet. This would assist in educating communities on available resources to help them do better in the areas where they have not met the criteria for recognition. Finally, the Program would enable EPA to compile ‘‘lessons learned’’ from communities that have successfully implemented smart growth and active aging principles. EPA would use this information to create a learning network on its Web site where all communities could benefit from this experience. The Recognition Program would be voluntary. EPA expects communities to participate only if they see a benefit by doing so. A primary benefit to communities would be recognition at the national level as leaders in smart growth and active aging. National recognition would promote their image as a desirable place to live. This could help them attract residents of all ages, which could benefit the communities (e.g., economically), as well as the new residents (e.g., because they could partake of their community’s amenities, such as walkable neighborhoods, fitness trails, and more transportation choices). In addition, communities that participate but are not recognized under the Program (i.e., because they do not meet the criteria for recognition) would benefit by learning about their areas for improvement, finding ways to address these areas based on links to helpful resources on the Internet, and modifying their behavior as appropriate. Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average one hour and 45 PO 00000 Frm 00036 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 42381 minutes 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: Entities potentially affected by this action are communities, municipalities, and counties that choose to participate in the Recognition Program. Estimated Total Annual Number of Respondents on Average: 110. Average Frequency of Response: Once. Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 186 hours. Estimated Total Annual Cost: $8,284. This includes an estimated labor cost of $8,183, an estimated operation and maintenance cost of $101, and no capital cost. Dated: July 13, 2006. Richard T.

    Title: Smart Growth and Active Aging National Recognition Program.
    ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 2221.01, OMB Control No. 2090-new.
    ICR status: This ICR is for a new information collection activity. 
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's Initiative on Aging is planning to launch a Smart 
Growth and Active Aging National Recognition Program for communities, 
municipalities, tribes, and counties (collectively referred to as 
``communities''). Communities would submit a letter to EPA indicating 
that their State or local Area Agency on Aging is engaged in their 
smart growth planning activities and active aging programs, and 
complete an on-line questionnaire describing their processes and 
programs in these two areas. The purpose of the Program is to recognize 
communities that excel in promoting the health and well-being of older 
adults through smart growth and active aging and to raise public 
awareness of the interconnectedness and importance of these two areas 
to the aging population. In addition, the on-line questionnaire would 
include links to helpful information on the Internet. This would assist 
in educating communities on available resources to help them do better 
in the areas where they have not met the criteria for recognition. 
Finally, the Program would enable EPA to compile ``lessons learned'' 
from communities that have successfully implemented smart growth and 
active aging principles. EPA would use this information to create a 
learning network on its Web site where all communities could benefit 
from this experience.
    The Recognition Program would be voluntary. EPA expects communities 
to participate only if they see a benefit by doing so. A primary 
benefit to communities would be recognition at the national level as 
leaders in smart growth and active aging. National recognition would 
promote their image as a desirable place to live. This could help them 
attract residents of all ages, which could benefit the communities 
(e.g., economically), as well as the new residents (e.g., because they 
could partake of their community's amenities, such as walkable 
neighborhoods, fitness trails, and more transportation choices). In 
addition, communities that participate but are not recognized under the 
Program (i.e., because they do not meet the criteria for recognition) 
would benefit by learning about their areas for improvement, finding 
ways to address these areas based on links to helpful resources on the 
Internet, and modifying their behavior as appropriate.
    Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping 
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average one 
hour and 45 minutes 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: Entities potentially affected by 
this action are communities, municipalities, and counties that choose 
to participate in the Recognition Program.
    Estimated Total Annual Number of Respondents on Average: 110.
    Average Frequency of Response: Once.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden Hours: 186 hours.
    Estimated Total Annual Cost: $8,284. This includes an estimated 
labor cost of $8,183, an estimated operation and maintenance cost of 
$101, and no capital cost.
