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 the regulations published at 40 CFR part 63, subpart EEEE were proposed on April 2, 2002 and promulgated on February 3, 2004. These regulations apply to the collection of activities and equipment, at new and existing facilities, used to distribute organic liquids into, out of, or within a major source plant site, that are not subject to another 40 CFR part 63 rule. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 63, subpart EEEE. In general, all NESHAP standards require initial notifications, performance tests, and periodic reports by the owners/operators of the affected facilities. They 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. These notifications, reports, and records are essential in determining compliance, and are required of all affected facilities subject to NESHAP. Any owner/operator subject to the provisions of this part shall maintain a file of these measurements, and retain the file for at least five years following the date 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 United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regional office. Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 114 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; VerDate Aug<31>2005 18:39 Mar 30, 2007 Jkt 211001 and transmit or otherwise disclose the information. Respondents/Affected Entities: New and existing facilities that distribute organic liquids and are located at, or are part of, major sources of hazardous air pollutant (HAP) emissions. Estimated Number of Respondents: 381. Frequency of Response: Initially, and semiannually on occasion. Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 85,503. Estimated Total Annual Cost: $15,800,891, which is comprised of $1,636,864 annualized Capital Startup Costs, $6,922,300 Operating and Maintenance Costs (O&M) and $7,241,727 annualized Labor Costs. Changes in the Estimates: There is a decrease of 51,667 hours in the total estimated burden currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR Burdens. This decrease in burden from the most recently approved ICR is due to adjustment(s). The decrease in burden from the most recently approved ICR is primarily due to the fact that this is the first ICR prepared after the compliance date. In the previous ICR, annual burden hours and costs associated with one-time activities were included for all existing sources as well as new sources. In this ICR, existing sources have been phased into compliance and are subject to on-going requirements, and only new sources are subject to various one-time activities. Dated: March 26, 2007.

Numbers: EPA ICR Number 1652.06; OMB Control Number 2060–0273. ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on April 30, 2007. 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 Halogenated Solvent Cleaning/Halogenated Hazardous Air Pollutants (40 CFR part 63, subpart T), was proposed on November 29, 1993, promulgated on December 2, 1994, and corrected to final rule June 5, 1995. The monitoring, recordkeeping, and reporting requirements outlined in the rule are similar to those required for other NESHAP regulations. Plants must demonstrate compliance with the emission standards by monitoring their control devices and performing annual emissions testing. This information notifies EPA when a source becomes subject to the regulations, informs the Agency if a source is in compliance, when it begins operation, and informs the Agency if the source remained in compliance during any period of operation. In the Administrator’s judgment, emissions of hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) from halogenated solvent cleaners may cause or contribute to air pollution that may reasonably be VerDate Aug<31>2005 18:39 Mar 30, 2007 Jkt 211001 anticipated to endanger public health or welfare. Therefore, NESHAP standards were promulgated for this source category, as required under Section 112 of the Clean Air Act. HAP emissions from halogenated solvent cleaners are the result of inadequate equipment design and work practices. These standards rely on the proper design and operation of halogenated solvent cleaning machines such as working-mode covers, a freeboard ratio of 1.0, and reduced room draft to reduce solvent emissions from halogenated solvent cleaners. Certain records and reports are necessary to enable EPA to identify sources subject to the standards and to ensure that the standards are being achieved. Owners/operators of halogenated solvent cleaners must provide EPA with an initial notification of existing or new solvent cleaning machines, initial statements of compliance, and annual control device monitoring report (owners/operators of batch vapor and in-line cleaning machines), an annual solvent emission report (owners/ operators of batch vapor and in-line cleaning machines complying with the alternative standard), and exceedance of monitoring parameters or emissions. The records that the facilities maintain indicate to EPA whether they are operating and maintaining the halogenated solvent cleaners properly to control emissions. In order to ensure compliance with the standards promulgated to protect public health, adequate reporting and recordkeeping is necessary. In the absence of such information, enforcement personnel would be unable to determine whether the standards are being met on a continuous basis, as required by the Clean Air Act. 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 are estimated to average approximately 14 hour 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 PO 00000 Frm 00047 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 and maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information; adjust the existing ways to comply with any previously applicable instructions and requirements; 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: Halogenated Solvent Cleaners. Estimated Number of Respondents: 1,431. Frequency of Response: Initially, quarterly, semiannually, and annually. Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 41,035. Estimated Total Costs: $3,852,448 which includes $0 annualized Capital Start Up costs, $1,015,000 annualized Operation and Maintenance (O&M) costs, and $2,837,448 annualized labor costs. Changes in the Estimates: There is no change in the labor hours or cost in this ICR compared to the previous ICR. This is due to two considerations. First, the regulations have not changed over the past three years and are not anticipated to change over the next three years. Secondly, the growth rate for the industry is very low, negative or nonexistent, so there is no significant change in the overall burden. Since there are no changes in the regulatory requirements and there is no significant industry growth, the labor hours and cost figures in the previous ICR are used in this ICR and there is no change in burden to industry.

    Title: NESHAP for Halogenated Solvent Cleaning/Halogenated 
Hazardous Air Pollutants (Renewal).
    Numbers: EPA ICR Number 1652.06; OMB Control Number 2060-0273.
    ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on April 30, 2007. 
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 Halogenated Solvent Cleaning/Halogenated 
Hazardous Air Pollutants (40 CFR part 63, subpart T), was proposed on 
November 29, 1993, promulgated on December 2, 1994, and corrected to 
final rule June 5, 1995.
    The monitoring, recordkeeping, and reporting requirements outlined 
in the rule are similar to those required for other NESHAP regulations. 
Plants must demonstrate compliance with the emission standards by 
monitoring their control devices and performing annual emissions 
testing. This information notifies EPA when a source becomes subject to 
the regulations, informs the Agency if a source is in compliance, when 
it begins operation, and informs the Agency if the source remained in 
compliance during any period of operation.
    In the Administrator's judgment, emissions of hazardous air 
pollutants (HAPs) from halogenated solvent cleaners may cause or 
contribute to air pollution that may reasonably be anticipated to 
endanger public health or welfare. Therefore, NESHAP standards were 
promulgated for this source category, as required under Section 112 of 
the Clean Air Act. HAP emissions from halogenated solvent cleaners are

enforcement personnel would be unable to determine whether the 
standards are being met on a continuous basis, as required by the Clean 
Air Act.
    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 are estimated to average 
approximately 14 hour 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; 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: Halogenated Solvent Cleaners.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 1,431.
    Frequency of Response: Initially, quarterly, semiannually, and 
annually.
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 41,035.
    Estimated Total Costs: $3,852,448 which includes $0 annualized 
Capital Start Up costs, $1,015,000 annualized Operation and Maintenance 
(O&M) costs, and $2,837,448 annualized labor costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is no change in the labor hours or 
cost in this ICR compared to the previous ICR. This is due to two 
considerations. First, the regulations have not changed over the past 
three years and are not anticipated to change over the next three 
years. Secondly, the growth rate for the industry is very low, negative 
or non-existent, so there is no significant change in the overall 
burden.
    Since there are no changes in the regulatory requirements and there 
is no significant industry growth, the labor hours and cost figures in 
the previous ICR are used in this ICR and there is no change in burden 
to industry.
