believes strongly that if the minimum
requirements specified under the
regulations are not met, neither the
facilities nor EPA can ensure that UST
systems are being managed in a manner
protective of human health and the
environment. The response to this
information collection for industry is
mandatory under 40 CFR part 280.
EPA uses state program applications
to determine whether to approve a state
program. Before granting approval, EPA
must determine that programs will be
no less stringent than the federal
program and contain adequate
enforcement mechanisms. States must
respond to this information collection in
order to obtain or maintain state
program approval under 40 CFR part
281.
Section 3007(b) of RCRA and 40 CFR
part 2, subpart B, which define EPA’s
general policy on public disclosure of
information, contain provisions for
confidentiality. However, the Agency
does not anticipate that businesses will
assert a claim of confidentiality covering
all or part of the requirements covered
in this ICR. If such a claim were
asserted, EPA must and will treat the
information in accordance with the
regulations cited above.
Burden Statement: The annual public
reporting and recordkeeping burden for
this collection of information is
estimated to average 16 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: UST
facilities and states.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
237,578.
Frequency of Response: Once, on
occasion.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:
5,969,217.
Estimated Total Annual Cost:
$743,453,178 ($453,047,585 in labor
costs; $95,975,266 in annualized

capital/startup costs; and $194,430,327
in operation and maintenance costs).
Changes in the Estimates: There is a
decrease of 163,020 hours in the total
estimated burden currently identified in
the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR
Burdens. This decrease is due to
updated data on the respondent
universe which show a lower number of
affected facilities than previously
estimated.

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 National Emission
Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants
(NESHAP) were promulgated on
December 15, 1989, and amended on
February 12, 1999, and October 17,
2000. Owners or operators of existing
and new facilities that are furnace or
foundry coke by-product recovery
plants that produce benzene emissions
subject to NESHAP subpart L must
submit notification of and application
for construction, reconstruction or
modification, and notice of the
anticipated date of initial and actual
startup. Owners and operators of
regulated facilities must also submit:
notifications of performance tests; any
physical or operational change which
may increase the emission rate;
implementation of equipment leakage
requirements; and notification that the
requirements of 40 CFR part 61, subpart
L, 40 CFR part 61, subpart V, and 40
CFR part 61, subpart A, have been met.
In addition, these owners and operators
must submit performance test reports
and semiannual reports. Records must
be maintained of leak detection and
repair logs, the design requirements of
closed-vent systems and control
devices, applicable valve information,
design control device, plan operations
and corrective action, compliance tests,
reference values of monitored
parameters, and monitoring results and
exceedances. In addition, records must
be kept of annual furnace and foundry
coke production for furnace coke byproduct recovery plants, monitoring
data, monitoring system calibration
checks, and the occurrence and duration
of periods where the monitoring system
is malfunctioning or inoperative.
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,
maintenance reports, and records. All
reports are sent to the delegated state or
local authority. In the event that there
VerDate Aug<31>2005

Jkt 214001
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 61, subpart L, 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 92 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:
Benzene emissions from coke byproduct recovery plants.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
17.
Frequency of Response:
Semiannually, and on occasion.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:
3,137.
Estimated Total Annual Cost:
$199,375, which includes $0 annualized
Capital Startup costs, $0 Operating and
Maintenance Costs (O&M), and
$199,375 annualized Labor Costs.
Changes in the Estimates: The
regulations have not changed over the
past three years and are not anticipated
to change over the next three years.
There is only one small change in the
labor hours in this ICR compared to the
previous ICR. The change is caused by
different methods of rounding numbers.
The previous ICR shows (3,138) as the
labor hours, however, this ICR uses the
exact hours of (3,137). The growth rate
PO 00000
Frm 00024
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
70839
for the industry is very low, negative or
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.

Plants (Renewal).
ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 1080.12, OMB Control Number 2060-0185.
ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on December 31, 2007.
Under OMB regulations, the Agency may continue to conduct or sponsor
the
[[Page 70839]]
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 National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air
Pollutants (NESHAP) were promulgated on December 15, 1989, and amended
on February 12, 1999, and October 17, 2000. Owners or operators of
existing and new facilities that are furnace or foundry coke by-product
recovery plants that produce benzene emissions subject to NESHAP
subpart L must submit notification of and application for construction,
reconstruction or modification, and notice of the anticipated date of
initial and actual startup. Owners and operators of regulated
facilities must also submit: notifications of performance tests; any
physical or operational change which may increase the emission rate;
implementation of equipment leakage requirements; and notification that
the requirements of 40 CFR part 61, subpart L, 40 CFR part 61, subpart
V, and 40 CFR part 61, subpart A, have been met. In addition, these
owners and operators must submit performance test reports and
semiannual reports. Records must be maintained of leak detection and
repair logs, the design requirements of closed-vent systems and control
devices, applicable valve information, design control device, plan
operations and corrective action, compliance tests, reference values of
monitored parameters, and monitoring results and exceedances. In
addition, records must be kept of annual furnace and foundry coke
production for furnace coke by-product recovery plants, monitoring
data, monitoring system calibration checks, and the occurrence and
duration of periods where the monitoring system is malfunctioning or
inoperative.
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, 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 61, subpart L, 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 92
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: Benzene emissions from coke by-
product recovery plants.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 17.
Frequency of Response: Semiannually, and on occasion.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 3,137.
Estimated Total Annual Cost: $199,375, which includes $0 annualized
Capital Startup costs, $0 Operating and Maintenance Costs (O&M), and
$199,375 annualized Labor Costs.
Changes in the Estimates: The regulations have not changed over the
past three years and are not anticipated to change over the next three
years. There is only one small change in the labor hours in this ICR
compared to the previous ICR. The change is caused by different methods
of rounding numbers. The previous ICR shows (3,138) as the labor hours,
however, this ICR uses the exact hours of (3,137). The growth rate for
the industry is very low, negative or 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.
