Title: Responsible Appliance Disposal
Program.
ICR Numbers: EPA ICR No. 2254.01,
OMB Control No. 2060–NEW.
ICR Status: This ICR is for a new
information collection activity. 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 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 Paperwork Reduction
Act requires the information found in
this Information Collection Request, to
assess the burden (in hours and dollars)
of the reporting and record keeping
necessary to maintain the Responsible
Appliance Disposal (RAD) Program. The
RAD Program, developed in 2006, is a
voluntary, non-regulatory program that
promotes the proper handling of
refrigerated household appliances at the
time of their disposal. EPA is partnering
with utilities, municipalities, retailers,
manufacturers, and universities to
promote the proper disposal of older
household appliances, namely
refrigerators, freezers, window air
conditioning units, and dehumidifiers,
in order to prevent emissions of
refrigerants and foam-blowing agents
that are ozone depleting substances and/
or greenhouse gases. The Program is
also expected to save landfill space,
save energy used by older appliances,
lead to the recovery of valuable
materials for use in making new
products (e.g., metals, plastics, glass),
and prevent the release of hazardous
substances—including PCBs, mercury,
and used oil.
Utilities, municipalities, retailers,
manufacturers, and universities can
participate in the program for guidance
on proper appliance disposal practices
and recognition of their efforts.
Participation in the program begins with
completion of a Partnership Agreement
VerDate Aug<31>2005
21:48 Nov 15, 2007
Jkt 214001
that outlines responsibilities of the RAD
Program. This Partnership Agreement
reflects a voluntary agreement between
a utility, municipality, retailer,
manufacturer, or university and EPA. By
joining the program, a Partner agrees to
complete an annual reporting form
identifying the appliances handled and
the fates of their components. If the
reporting form is completed
electronically, it provides feedback for
the user on the gross impact of their
program on the environment, energy
savings, and consumer savings. This
agreement can be terminated by either
Party 20 days after the receipt of written
notice by the other Party with no
penalties or continuing obligations.
Burden Statement: The annual public
reporting and recordkeeping burden for
this collection of information is
estimated to average 6 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:
Utilities, municipalities, retailers,
manufacturers, and universities.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
50.
Frequency of Response: Annual.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:
302 hours.
Estimated Total Annual Cost: $26,283
in labor costs and no annualized capital
or O&M costs.
Dated: November 8, 2007.

Abstract: The New Source
Performance Standards (NSPS) for
VerDate Aug<31>2005
21:48 Nov 15, 2007
Jkt 214001
Equipment Leaks of Volatile Organic
Compounds (VOC) from Onshore
Natural Gas Processing Plants,
published at 40 CFR part 60, subpart
KKK, were proposed on January 20,
1984, and promulgated on June 24,
1985. These standards apply to the
following affected facilities located at
onshore natural gas processing plants:
compressors in VOC service or in wet
gas service, and the group of all
equipment (except compressors) within
a process unit. Affected facilities
commenced construction, modification
or reconstruction after the date of
proposal.
The NSPS for Onshore Natural Gas
Processing: SO2 Emissions, published at
40 CFR part 60, subpart LLL, were
proposed on January 20, 1984 and
promulgated on October 1, 1985. These
standards apply to the following
affected facilities located at onshore
natural gas processing plants: each
sweetening unit, and each sweetening
unit followed by a sulfur recovery unit.
Affected facilities commenced
construction, modification or
reconstruction after the date of proposal.
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. Owners or
operators of affected facilities must
submit notifications of any
construction/reconstruction,
modification, actual date of startup,
demonstration of a continuous
monitoring system, and date of a
performance test. Note that the use of
control devices and continuous
monitoring is not required by subpart
KKK, but is an option for compliance.
Owners or operators of affected
facilities must submit semiannual
reports and performance test results.
Note that subpart LLL requires
semiannual reporting of excess
emissions. Owners or operators subject
to subpart KKK must keep various
records, including records of leak
detection and repair, records of
compliance tests, and records of pumps
and valves that are exempted from
certain monitoring requirements.
Owners or operators subject to subpart
LLL must keep records of various
calculations and measurements.
Any owner or operator subject to the
provisions of this part shall maintain a
PO 00000
Frm 00042
Fmt 4703

file of these measurements, and retain
the file for at least two 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 EPA
regional office. This information is
being collected to assure compliance
with 40 CFR part 60, subparts KKK and
LLL, 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
Number 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 91 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:
Onshore natural gas processing plants.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
563.
Frequency of Response: On occasion,
initially, and semiannually.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:
149,180.
Estimated Total Annual Cost:
$9,857,058, which includes $219,000
annualized Capital Startup costs,
$119,700 annualized Operating and
Maintenance costs (O&M) and
$9,518,358 annualized Labor costs.
Changes in the Estimates: There is no
significant change in this ICR compared
to the previous ICR. This is due to two
considerations. First, the regulations
have not changed over the past three
E:\FR\FM\16NON1.SGM
16NON1
64616
Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 221 / Friday, November 16, 2007 / Notices
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.
There is, however, a small adjustment
in the labor hour estimate. The previous
ICR shows a total of 149,174 annual
hours. This renewal ICR shows a total
of 149,180 annual hours. The small
labor hour increase of six hours was
caused by a mathematical error in the
previous ICR.

Abstract: The National Emission
Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants
(NESHAP), were proposed on December
7, 1971 (36 FR 23939) and promulgated
on April 6, 1973 (38 FR 8826). This
standard applies to all extraction plants,
ceramic plants, foundries, incinerators,
and propellant plants which process
beryllium ore, beryllium, beryllium
oxide, beryllium alloys, or berylliumcontaining waste. The standard also
applies to machine shops which process
beryllium, beryllium oxides, or any
alloy when such alloy contains more
than five percent beryllium by weight.
All sources known to have caused, or
have the potential to cause, dangerous
levels of beryllium in the ambient air
are covered by the Beryllium NESHAP.
This information is being collected to
ensure compliance with 40 CFR part 61,
subpart C.
There are approximately 236 existing
sources subject to this rule. Of the total
number of existing sources, we have
assumed that approximately 10 sources
(i.e., respondents) have elected to
comply with an alternative ambient air
quality limit by operating a continuous
monitor in the vicinity of the affected
facility. The monitoring requirements
for these facilities provide information
on ambient air quality and ensure that
locally, the airborne beryllium
concentration does not exceed 0.01
micrograms/m 3. These sources that are
meeting the rule requirements by means
of ambient monitoring are required to
submit a monthly report of all measured
concentrations to the Administrator.
The remaining 226 sources have elected
to comply with the rule by conducting
a one-time-only stack test to determine
beryllium emission levels. We have
assumed that 10 percent of the 226
sources (or 23 respondents) complying
with the emission limit standard will
engage in an operational change at their
facilities that could potentially increase
beryllium emissions, and would be
required to repeat the stack test to
determine the beryllium emission

Abstract: The New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for Equipment
Leaks of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) from Onshore Natural Gas
Processing Plants, published at 40 CFR part 60, subpart KKK, were
proposed on January 20, 1984, and promulgated on June 24, 1985. These
standards apply to the following affected facilities located at onshore
natural gas processing plants: compressors in VOC service or in wet gas
service, and the group of all equipment (except compressors) within a
process unit. Affected facilities commenced construction, modification
or reconstruction after the date of proposal.
The NSPS for Onshore Natural Gas Processing: SO2
Emissions, published at 40 CFR part 60, subpart LLL, were proposed on
January 20, 1984 and promulgated on October 1, 1985. These standards
apply to the following affected facilities located at onshore natural
gas processing plants: each sweetening unit, and each sweetening unit
followed by a sulfur recovery unit. Affected facilities commenced
construction, modification or reconstruction after the date of
proposal.
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.
Owners or operators of affected facilities must submit notifications of
any construction/reconstruction, modification, actual date of startup,
demonstration of a continuous monitoring system, and date of a
performance test. Note that the use of control devices and continuous
monitoring is not required by subpart KKK, but is an option for
compliance.
Owners or operators of affected facilities must submit semiannual
reports and performance test results. Note that subpart LLL requires
semiannual reporting of excess emissions. Owners or operators subject
to subpart KKK must keep various records, including records of leak
detection and repair, records of compliance tests, and records of pumps
and valves that are exempted from certain monitoring requirements.
Owners or operators subject to subpart LLL must keep records of various
calculations and measurements.
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, 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 EPA regional office. This information
is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 60, subparts
KKK and LLL, 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 Number 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 91
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: Onshore natural gas processing
plants.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 563.
Frequency of Response: On occasion, initially, and semiannually.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 149,180.
Estimated Total Annual Cost: $9,857,058, which includes $219,000
annualized Capital Startup costs, $119,700 annualized Operating and
Maintenance costs (O&M) and $9,518,358 annualized Labor costs.
Changes in the Estimates: There is no significant change in this
ICR compared to the previous ICR. This is due to two considerations.
First, the regulations have not changed over the past three
[[Page 64616]]
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.
There is, however, a small adjustment in the labor hour estimate.
The previous ICR shows a total of 149,174 annual hours. This renewal
ICR shows a total of 149,180 annual hours. The small labor hour
increase of six hours was caused by a mathematical error in the
previous ICR.
