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 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;

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.

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
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

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.
