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 NSPS for the Phosphate
Fertilizer Industry, published at 40 CFR
part 60, subparts T, U, V, W, and X,
were proposed on October 22, 1974, and
promulgated on August 6, 1975. These
standards apply to each wet-process
phosphoric acid plant, each
superphosphoric acid plant, each
granular diammonium phosphate plant,
and each triple superphosphate plant,
having a design capacity of more than
15 tons of equivalent phosphorous
pentoxide (P2O5) feed per calendar day.
These standards also apply to granular
triple superphosphate storage facilities.
Owners or operators of affected
facilities described must make the
following one-time-only initial
notifications and reports on the results
of the initial performance test. Owners
or operators are also 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. The owners or operators
must install, calibrate, maintain, and
operate a monitoring device which
continuously measures and
permanently records the total pressure
drop across the scrubbing system.
Semiannual reports are required. The
owner or operator subject to the
provisions of this part shall maintain a
file of these measurements, and retain
the file for at least two years following
the date of such measurements.
Responses to the collection of
information are mandatory and are
being collected to assure compliance
with 40 CFR part 60, subparts T, U, V,
W, and X. These notifications, reports
and records are essential in determining
compliance.
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 46 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:
Phosphate Fertilizer Industry.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
13.
Frequency of Response: Initial and
Semiannual.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:
1,194 hours.
Estimated Total Annual Cost:
$388,363, which includes $0 annual
Start Up costs, $320,190 annualized
operations & maintenance (O&M) costs,
and $68,173 annualized labor costs.
Changes in the Estimates: There is no
change of hours in the total estimated
burden currently identified in the OMB
Inventory of Approved ICR Burdens. It
is determined that the number of
respondents subject to the rules
addressed by this ICR is 13, with no
additional new sources expected over
the three-year period of this ICR.

under section 111 of the Clean Air Act,
as amended, to collect data. The
information will be used by Agency
enforcement personnel to (1) identify
existing sources subject to these
standards; (2) ensure that Best
Demonstrated Technology is being
properly applied; and (3) ensure that the
emission control devise is being
properly operated and maintained on a
continuous basis. In addition, records
and reports are necessary to enable the
EPA to identify landfills that may not be
in compliance with these standards.
Based on reported information, the EPA
can decide which landfills should be
inspected and what records or processes
should be inspected at the landfill. The
records that landfills maintain would
indicate to the EPA whether the
personnel are operating and maintaining
control equipment properly. The type of
data required is principally emissions
data and would not be confidential. If
any information is submitted to the EPA
for which a claim of confidentiality is
made, the information would be
safeguarded according to the Agency
policies set forth in 40 CFR, chapter 1,
part 2, subpart B.
Burden Statement: The annual public
reporting and record keeping burden for
this collection of information is
estimated to average 72 hours per

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 respond to

Title: Information Collection Request
for EPA’s National Environmental
Performance Track Program (Renewal).
ICR Numbers: EPA ICR No. 1949.05,
OMB Control No. 2010–0032.
ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to
expire on October 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

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 National
Environmental Performance Track is a
voluntary program that recognizes and
rewards private and public facilities that
demonstrate top environmental
performance beyond current
requirements. The program is based on
the premise that government should
complement existing programs with
new tools and strategies that not only
protect people and the environment, but
also capture opportunities for reducing
cost and spurring technological
innovation.
Performance Track is a facility based
program (not company-wide) that
solicits and receives applications and
makes acceptance decisions twice per
year from February through April, and
August through October. Applying
facilities must meet four basic criteria:
(1) A history of sustained compliance
with environmental regulations; (2) an
Environmental Management System
(EMS) in place that has undergone an
assessment by an independent third
party; (3) past and future environmental
achievements, and a commitment to
quantified continuous environmental
improvement; and (4) public
involvement and annual reporting. Once
accepted, members remain in the
program for three years, as long as they
continue to meet the program criteria.
After three years, they may apply to
renew their membership through a
streamlined application process.
No confidential information is
requested in this notice. 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.
Burden Statement: The annual public
reporting and recordkeeping burden for
this collection of information is
estimated to average 16.4 hours per
facility per year. This includes all
applications, compliance screens,
annual reporting, incentives
participation, and site visits. EPA
estimates that all facilities who
voluntarily respond to this information
collection by electing to participate in
the Performance Track program have
determined that the expected benefits of
participation outweigh any burdens
associated with preparing the response.
Burden means the total time, effort, or
financial resources expended by persons

Abstract: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is required
under section 111 of the Clean Air Act, as amended, to collect data.
The information will be used by Agency enforcement personnel to (1)
identify existing sources subject to these standards; (2) ensure that
Best Demonstrated Technology is being properly applied; and (3) ensure
that the emission control devise is being properly operated and
maintained on a continuous basis. In addition, records and reports are
necessary to enable the EPA to identify landfills that may not be in
compliance with these standards. Based on reported information, the EPA
can decide which landfills should be inspected and what records or
processes should be inspected at the landfill. The records that
landfills maintain would indicate to the EPA whether the personnel are
operating and maintaining control equipment properly. The type of data
required is principally emissions data and would not be confidential.
If any information is submitted to the EPA for which a claim of
confidentiality is made, the information would be safeguarded according
to the Agency policies set forth in 40 CFR, chapter 1, part 2, subpart
B.
Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and record keeping
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 72
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 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: Solid Waste Landfills.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 173.
Frequency of Response: Annually.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 12,456.
Estimated Total Annual Cost: $242,000 for operating and maintenance
costs. There are no capital/startup costs associated with this ICR.
