Title: Recordkeeping Requirements
for Certified Applicators Using 1080
Collars for Livestock Protection.
ICR Status: This is a request to renew
an existing approved collection. This
ICR is scheduled to expire on May 31,
2007. Under OMB regulations, the
Agency may continue to conduct or
sponsor the collection of information
while this submission is pending at
OMB. This ICR describes the nature of
the information collection and its
estimated burden and cost.
Abstract: This ICR affects
approximately 40 certified pesticide
applicators who utilize 1080 toxic
collars for livestock protection. Four
states (Montana, New Mexico, South
Dakota, and Wyoming) monitor the
program, and five pesticide registrants
are required to keep records of: (a)
Number of collars purchased; (b)
number of collars attached on livestock;
(c) pasture(s) where collared livestock
were placed; (d) number and locations
of livestock found with ruptured or
punctured collars and the apparent
cause of the damage; (e) the dates of
each attachment, inspection, and
removal; (f) number, dates, and
approximate location of all collars lost;
(g) locations, and dates of all suspected
poisonings of humans, domestic
animals or non-target wild animals
resulting from collar use location and
species data on each animal poisoned as
an apparent result of the toxic collar.
Applicators maintain records, and the
registrants/lead agencies do monitoring
studies and submit the reports. These
records are monitored by either the: (a)
State lead agencies; (b) EPA regional
offices; or (c) the registrants. The
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA,
the Agency) receives annual monitoring
reports from registrants or State lead
agencies.
Burden Statement: The annual public
reporting and recordkeeping burden for
this collection of information is
estimated to average 9 hours per
response for registrant respondents; 40
hours per response for certified
applicator respondents; and 77 hours
per response for State agency
respondents per response. Burden
means the total time, effort, or financial
PO 00000
Frm 00039
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
18985
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 pesticide and other
agricultural manufacturers (NAICS
325320), e.g., pesticide registrants
whose products include 1080 collars;
and government establishments
primarily engaged in the administration
of environmental quality programs
(NAICS 9241), e.g., states implementing
a 1080 collar monitoring program.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
49.
Frequency of Response: Annual.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:
1,953 hours.
Estimated Total Annual Labor Cost:
$70,261.
Changes in the Estimates: There is an
increase of 200 hours in the total
estimated respondent burden compared
with that identified in the ICR currently
approved by OMB. This increase reflects
EPA’s estimate of increased numbers of
certified applicators (from 35 certified
applicators in 2003 to 40 in the current
ICR). This change is an adjustment.

Title: NESHAP for Mineral Wool
Production (Renewal).
ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number
1799.04, OMB Control Number 2060–
0362.
ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to
expire on June 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 Mineral Wool Production
(40 CFR part 63, subpart DDD) were
proposed on May 8, 1997, and
promulgated on June 1, 1999. Owners/
operators of mineral wool production
plants are required to install fabric filter
bag leak detection systems and then
initiate corrective action procedures in
the event of an operating problem.
Owners/operators subject to NESHAP
subpart DDD must also continuously
monitor and record: (1) The operating
temperature of each thermal incinerator,
(2) cupola production (melt) rate; and
(3) for each curing oven, the
PO 00000
Frm 00040
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
formaldehyde content of each binder
formulation used to manufacture
bonded products.
Owners/operators of affected mineral
wool production facility must submit
initial notifications (where applicable)
performance test and periodic reports.
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. Semiannual reports are also
required. These notifications, reports,
and records are essential in determining
compliance; and are required, in
general, of all sources subject to
NESHAP.
Any owner or 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,
maintain 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 EPA
regional office. This information is
being collected to assure compliance
with 40 CFR part 63, subpart DDD as
authorized in section 112 and 114(a) of
the Clean Air Act. The required
information consists of emissions data
and other information that have been
determined to be private.
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 126 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; train personnel to be able
to respond to a collection of
information; search data sources;
complete and review the collection of
E:\FR\FM\16APN1.SGM
16APN1
Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 72 / Monday, April 16, 2007 / Notices
information; and transmit or otherwise
disclose the information.
Respondents/Affected Entities:
Mineral wool production.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
12.
Frequency of Response: Initially, and
semiannually.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:
3,018.
Estimated Total Capital and
Operations & Maintenance (O&M)
Annual Costs: $9,000, which includes
no annualized capital/startup costs and
$9,000 in annual O&M 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.
Dated: April 9, 2007.

Owners/operators subject to NESHAP subpart DDD must also continuously
monitor and record: (1) The operating temperature of each thermal
incinerator, (2) cupola production (melt) rate; and (3) for each curing
oven, the formaldehyde content of each binder formulation used to
manufacture bonded products.
Owners/operators of affected mineral wool production facility must
submit initial notifications (where applicable) performance test and
periodic reports. 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. Semiannual reports
are also required. These notifications, reports, and records are
essential in determining compliance; and are required, in general, of
all sources subject to NESHAP.
Any owner or 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, maintain 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 EPA regional office. This information
is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 63, subpart
DDD as authorized in section 112 and 114(a) of the Clean Air Act. The
required information consists of emissions data and other information
that have been determined to be private.
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 126
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; train personnel to be able to respond to
a collection of information; search data sources; complete and review
the collection of
[[Page 18987]]
information; and transmit or otherwise disclose the information.
Respondents/Affected Entities: Mineral wool production.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 12.
Frequency of Response: Initially, and semiannually.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 3,018.
Estimated Total Capital and Operations & Maintenance (O&M) Annual
Costs: $9,000, which includes no annualized capital/startup costs and
$9,000 in annual O&M 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.
