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 regulations 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).

Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 75 / Thursday, April 17, 2008 / Notices
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 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 to establish
case-by-case MACT terms and
conditions. We anticipate that this ICR
will cover any activities involving
preparing, submitting, and reviewing
the Parts 1 and 2 permit applications
and applicability determinations,
developing the title V permit terms and
conditions, and the permit review and
approval process.
Burden Statement: The annual public
reporting and recordkeeping burden for
this collection of information is
estimated to average 92.6 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:
Respondents include owners/operators
of 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.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
2,573.
Frequency of Response: Once.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:
151,730.
Estimated Total Annual Cost:
$9,995,666.
VerDate Aug<31>2005
17:08 Apr 16, 2008
Jkt 214001
Changes in the Estimates: There is a
decrease of 20,470 hours in the total
estimated burden previously identified
in the expired ICR in the OMB
Inventory of Approved ICR Burdens.
The ICR 1648.04 spanned the period
in which the section 112(j) rule would
have applied to any of the 59 source
categories covered by the 2000 MACT
standards (the 10-year bin). This ICR
would affect only the 4 source
categories covered by the MACT
standards that have been vacated by the
United States Court of Appeals for the
District of Columbia Circuit. Unlike ICR
No. 1648.04, which estimated the
burden from the Part 1 application only
(because all the MACT standards were
promulgated before Part 2 applied), this
ICR estimates burden for preparing,
submitting, and reviewing the Parts 1
and 2 permit applications and
applicability determinations,
developing the title V permit terms and
conditions, and the permit review and
approval process.
This ICR also estimates the number of
responses on a facility basis instead of
an individual boiler basis as the
previous ICR did, because each facility
will submit one application for the
facility, not each boiler.
Finally, EPA has updated the labor
rates for respondents, State, Local, and
Tribal agencies, and the EPA. These
adjustments were made to more
accurately reflect the true cost of an
hour of labor for the respondents, State,
Local, and Tribal agencies, and the EPA.
The unloaded hourly rates are different
because they are based on the latest
available rates from the BLS and the
OPM.
In summary, the difference in the
burden estimate is due to the
adjustments discussed above, including
number of respondents, submittal of
permit applications, development of the
permit, and updated labor rates.

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 regulations 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).
[[Page 20921]]
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 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 to establish case-by-case MACT terms and
conditions. We anticipate that this ICR will cover any activities
involving preparing, submitting, and reviewing the Parts 1 and 2 permit
applications and applicability determinations, developing the title V
permit terms and conditions, and the permit review and approval
process.
Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 92.6
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: Respondents include owners/operators
of 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.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 2,573.
Frequency of Response: Once.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 151,730.
Estimated Total Annual Cost: $9,995,666.
Changes in the Estimates: There is a decrease of 20,470 hours in
the total estimated burden previously identified in the expired ICR in
the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR Burdens.
The ICR 1648.04 spanned the period in which the section 112(j) rule
would have applied to any of the 59 source categories covered by the
2000 MACT standards (the 10-year bin). This ICR would affect only the 4
source categories covered by the MACT standards that have been vacated
by the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia
Circuit. Unlike ICR No. 1648.04, which estimated the burden from the
Part 1 application only (because all the MACT standards were
promulgated before Part 2 applied), this ICR estimates burden for
preparing, submitting, and reviewing the Parts 1 and 2 permit
applications and applicability determinations, developing the title V
permit terms and conditions, and the permit review and approval
process.
This ICR also estimates the number of responses on a facility basis
instead of an individual boiler basis as the previous ICR did, because
each facility will submit one application for the facility, not each

Finally, EPA has updated the labor rates for respondents, State,

In summary, the difference in the burden estimate is due to the
