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 PO 00000 Frm 00025 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 57933 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. Dated: October 2, 2007.

The display of OMB control numbers in certain EPA regulations is consolidated in 40 CFR part 9. 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.

The display of OMB control numbers in certain EPA regulations is consolidated in 40 CFR part 9. 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, E:\FR\FM\11OCN1.SGM 11OCN1

    ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 1158.09, OMB Control Number 2060-0156.
    ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on November 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, 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 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 Michelin-A 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 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.
