Title: 2007 Hazardous Waste Report.
ICR Numbers: EPA ICR No. 0976.13,
OMB Control No. 2050–0024.
ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to
expire on October 31, 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: This ICR renews an ongoing
information collection from hazardous
waste generators and hazardous waste
treatment, storage, or disposal facilities.
This collection is done on a two-year
cycle as required by Sections 3002 and
3004 of RCRA. The information is
collected via a mechanism known as the
Hazardous Waste Report for the
required reporting year [EPA Form
8700–13 A/B] (also known as the
Biennial Report). Both RCRA Sections
3002 and 3004 require EPA to establish
standards for recordkeeping and
reporting of hazardous waste generation
and management. Section 3002 applies
to hazardous waste generators and
Section 3004 applies to hazardous waste
treatment, storage, and disposal
facilities. The implementing regulations
are found at 40 CFR 262.40(b) and (d);
262.41(a)(1)–(5), (a)(8), and (b);
264.75(a)–(e) and (j); 265.75(a)–(e) and
(j); and 270.30(l)(9). This is mandatory
reporting by the respondents.
Burden Statement: The reporting
burden is estimated to average 16.4
hours per respondent, and includes time
for reviewing instructions, gathering
data, completing and reviewing the
forms, and submitting the report. The
record keeping requirement is estimated
to average 2.3 hours per response and
includes the time for filing and storing
the Biennial Report submission for three
years.
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: Private
Entities and State, Local, or Tribal
Governments.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
12,671, including 12,619 survey
respondents and 52 state and territorial
agencies.
Frequency of Response: Biennially.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:
685,196.
Estimated Total Annual Cost:
$20,137,491, including $66,642
annualized capital or O&M costs.
Changes in the Estimates: There is an
increase of 519,944 hours in the total
estimated burden currently identified in
the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR
Burdens. This increase in burden has
occurred for two reasons. First, there is
an increase in the number of
respondents, from 9,106 in 2005 to
12,619 projected for 2007. Second, and
most importantly, EPA is counting the
State Agency burden in the overall
burden for this ICR for the first time
with this renewal. Historically, EPA
calculated State Agency burden with the
Federal Agency burden, so the State
Agency burden was not reflected in the
bottom line burden for the ICR.

Abstract: The New Source
Performance Standards (NSPS) subpart
BBB applies to affected facilities in
rubber tire manufacturing plants that
commence construction, modification or
reconstruction after January 20, 1983.
The affected facilities include: Each
undertread cementing operation, each
sidewall cementing operation, each
tread end cementing operation, each
bead cementing operation, each green
tire spraying operation, each MichelinA operation, each Michelin-B operation,
each Michelin-C automatic operation.
The rule establishes standards for
volatile organic compounds (VOCs) use
and emission limits.
In general, all NSPS standards require
initial notifications, performance tests
and periodic reports. This standard
PO 00000
Frm 00026
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
requires performance test of Method 25
and an annual report of Method 24
results to verify VOC content of waterbased sprays. 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. Monitoring
requirements specific to rubber tire
manufacturing plants provide
information on the operation of the
emissions control device and
compliance with the VOCs standards.
Semiannual reports of excess emissions
are required. These notifications,
reports, and records are essential in
determining compliance, and are
required of all sources subject to NSPS.
Burden Statement: The annual public
reporting and recordkeeping burden for
this collection of information is
estimated to average 167 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:
Owners and operators of rubber tire
manufacturing plants.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
41.
Frequency of Response: Initially,
semiannually and annually.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:
13,323 hours.
Estimated Total Annual Cost:
$866,493, which includes $0 annualized
Capital Startup Costs, $16,400
annualized Operating and Maintenance
(O&M) costs, and $850,093 annualized
Labor costs.
Changes in the Estimates: There are
no changes in the labor hours or costs
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
E:\FR\FM\11OCN1.SGM
11OCN1
Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 196 / Thursday, October 11, 2007 / Notices
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.

Abstract: The New Source
Performance Standards (NSPS) for
Petroleum Refinery Wastewater Systems
were proposed on May 4, 1987, and
promulgated on November 23, 1988.
These standards apply to the following
facilities in petroleum refinery
wastewater systems: Individual drain
systems, oil-water separators, and
aggregate facilities commencing
construction, modification or
reconstruction after the date of proposal.
An individual drain system consists of
all process drains connected to the first
downstream junction box. An oil-water
separator is the wastewater treatment
equipment used to separate oil from
water. An aggregate facility is an
individual drain system together with
ancillary downstream sewer lines and
oil-water separators, down to and
including the secondary oil-water
separator, as applicable. Aggregate
facilities are intended to capture any
potential volatile organic compound
(VOC) emissions within the petroleum
refinery wastewater system during
expansions of and additions to the
system. There are no additional
recordkeeping or reporting requirements
for aggregate facilities. This information
is being collected to determine
compliance with 40 CFR part 60,
subpart QQQ.
In general, all NSPS 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, 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
sources subject to NSPS.
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 two years following
the date of such measurements,

Michelin-C automatic operation. The rule establishes standards for
volatile organic compounds (VOCs) use and emission limits.
In general, all NSPS standards require initial notifications,
performance tests and periodic reports. This standard requires
performance test of Method 25 and an annual report of Method 24 results
to verify VOC content of water-based sprays. 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. Monitoring requirements specific to rubber tire
manufacturing plants provide information on the operation of the
emissions control device and compliance with the VOCs standards.
Semiannual reports of excess emissions are required. These
notifications, reports, and records are essential in determining
compliance, and are required of all sources subject to NSPS.
Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 167
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: Owners and operators of rubber tire
manufacturing plants.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 41.
Frequency of Response: Initially, semiannually and annually.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 13,323 hours.
Estimated Total Annual Cost: $866,493, which includes $0 annualized
Capital Startup Costs, $16,400 annualized Operating and Maintenance
(O&M) costs, and $850,093 annualized Labor costs.
Changes in the Estimates: There are no changes in the labor hours
or costs 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
[[Page 57935]]
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.
