To What Information Collection
Activity or ICR Does this Apply?
Affected entities: Entities potentially
affected by this action are major sources
of hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) in
the following source categories:
Polyvinyl chloride and copolymers
production; brick and structural clay
products manufacturing; clay ceramics
manufacturing; and industrial,
commercial, and institutional boilers
and process heaters. A major source is
one that has the potential to emit more
than 10 tons per year of any HAP, 25
tons per year for the total of all HAP, or
amounts exceeding any lesser quantity
cutoff established pursuant to
§ 112(a)(1) of the CAA.
Title: Information Collection Request
for Requirements for Control
Technology Determinations from Major
Sources in Accordance with Clean Air
Act Sections, Sections 112(g) and 112(j).
ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 1648.06,
OMB Control No. 2060–0266.
ICR status: The previous ICR expired
on May 31, 2005. 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 regulation is
consolidated in 40 CFR part 9.
Abstract: The regulations governing
section 112(j) case-by-case MACT
determinations were promulgated on
May 20, 1994 (59 FR 26449), and
amended last on May 30, 2003 (68 FR
32586).
The affected entities of this ICR are
major sources of polyvinyl chloride and
copolymers production; brick and
PO 00000
Frm 00024
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
62227
structural clay products manufacturing;
clay ceramics manufacturing; and
industrial, commercial, and institutional
boilers and process heaters. Previous
MACT standards for these source
categories have been vacated by the U.S.
Court of Appeals for the District of
Columbia Circuit. Sources previously
subject or that would have been subject
to those MACT standards would be
those entities affected by this ICR.
Owners and operators of affected
sources must submit title V permit
applications or amendments and
comply with terms and conditions
established under those permits or
modifications related to case-by-case
MACT. The terms and conditions can
include performance testing,
monitoring, recordkeeping, and
reporting. Because the time it will take
to develop and amend permits and time
allowed for compliance with the caseby-case MACT for existing sources will
exceed the term of this ICR, it is not
anticipated that this ICR will cover
those activities. We anticipate that this
ICR will cover any activities involving
the development and submittal of Part
1 and Part 2 permit applications, the
permitting authority’s development of
the permit terms and conditions and
permit review and approval.
Burden Statement: 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 to; 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.
The ICR Supporting Statement
provides an explanation of the Agency’s
estimate, that is only briefly
summarized here:
Estimated total number of potential
respondents: 20,000.
Frequency of response: One time.
Estimated total average number of
responses for each respondent: One title
V application or amendment (Part 1 and
Part 2 application combined).
Estimated total annual burden hours:
1,127,333.
Estimated total annual costs:
$65,636,200.

Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 212 / Friday, November 2, 2007 / Notices
Are There Changes in the Estimates
from the Last Approval?
The previous ICR covered only Part 1
applications. This ICR covers both Part
1 and Part 2 applications as well as the
permitting authorities’ review and
approval of those applications,
development of case-by-case MACT,
public notice and comment, and
issuance of the final permit. The burden
between the previous ICR and this ICR
are very significant primarily because
they cover different activities.
What is the Next Step in the Process for
this ICR?
EPA will consider any comments
received and amend the ICR as
appropriate. The final ICR package will
then be submitted to OMB for review
and approval pursuant to 5 CFR
1320.12. At that time, EPA will issue
another Federal Register notice
pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.5(a)(1)(iv) to
announce the submission of the ICR to
OMB and the opportunity to submit
additional comments to OMB. If you
have any questions about this ICR or the
approval process, please contact the
person listed under FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT.

To What Information Collection Activity or ICR Does this Apply?
Affected entities: Entities potentially affected by this action are
major sources of hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) in the following
source categories: Polyvinyl chloride and copolymers production; brick
and structural clay products manufacturing; clay ceramics
manufacturing; and industrial, commercial, and institutional boilers
and process heaters. A major source is one that has the potential to
emit more than 10 tons per year of any HAP, 25 tons per year for the
total of all HAP, or amounts exceeding any lesser quantity cutoff
established pursuant to Sec. 112(a)(1) of the CAA.
Title: Information Collection Request for Requirements for Control
Technology Determinations from Major Sources in Accordance with Clean
Air Act Sections, Sections 112(g) and 112(j).
ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 1648.06, OMB Control No. 2060-0266.
ICR status: The previous ICR expired on May 31, 2005. 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 regulation is consolidated in 40 CFR
part 9.
Abstract: The regulations governing section 112(j) case-by-case
MACT determinations were promulgated on May 20, 1994 (59 FR 26449), and
amended last on May 30, 2003 (68 FR 32586).
The affected entities of this ICR are major sources of polyvinyl
chloride and copolymers production; brick and structural clay products
manufacturing; clay ceramics manufacturing; and industrial, commercial,
and institutional boilers and process heaters. Previous MACT standards
for these source categories have been vacated by the U.S. Court of
Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. Sources previously
subject or that would have been subject to those MACT standards would
be those entities affected by this ICR.
Owners and operators of affected sources must submit title V permit
applications or amendments and comply with terms and conditions
established under those permits or modifications related to case-by-
case MACT. The terms and conditions can include performance testing,
monitoring, recordkeeping, and reporting. Because the time it will take
to develop and amend permits and time allowed for compliance with the
case-by-case MACT for existing sources will exceed the term of this
ICR, it is not anticipated that this ICR will cover those activities.
We anticipate that this ICR will cover any activities involving the
development and submittal of Part 1 and Part 2 permit applications, the
permitting authority's development of the permit terms and conditions
and permit review and approval.
Burden Statement: 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 to; 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.
The ICR Supporting Statement provides an explanation of the
Agency's estimate, that is only briefly summarized here:
Estimated total number of potential respondents: 20,000.
Frequency of response: One time.
Estimated total average number of responses for each respondent:
One title V application or amendment (Part 1 and Part 2 application
combined).
Estimated total annual burden hours: 1,127,333.
Estimated total annual costs: $65,636,200.

Are There Changes in the Estimates from the Last Approval?
The previous ICR covered only Part 1 applications. This ICR covers
both Part 1 and Part 2 applications as well as the permitting
authorities' review and approval of those applications, development of
case-by-case MACT, public notice and comment, and issuance of the final
permit. The burden between the previous ICR and this ICR are very
significant primarily because they cover different activities.
What is the Next Step in the Process for this ICR?
EPA will consider any comments received and amend the ICR as
appropriate. The final ICR package will then be submitted to OMB for
review and approval pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.12. At that time, EPA will
issue another Federal Register notice pursuant to 5 CFR
1320.5(a)(1)(iv) to announce the submission of the ICR to OMB and the
opportunity to submit additional comments to OMB. If you have any
questions about this ICR or the approval process, please contact the
person listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.
Dated: October 29, 2007.
