Download as PDF 27820 Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 94 / Wednesday, May 14, 2008 / Notices review the collection of information; and transmit or otherwise disclose the information. The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average about fifteen minutes per response. If a single household participant completes all three interviews of the data collection, a total of 45 minutes is used. The interview process consists of three interviews; Two Beach Interviews and one Telephone Follow-up: Based on consultation with the individuals listed in Section 3(c) of the ICR, and our experience with similar types of information collection, we estimate that each family will spend an average of 30 minutes completing the beach interview and will require no recordkeeping. This includes the time for reviewing the information pamphlet and answering the questions. We estimate that each family spends an average of 15 minutes completing the home telephone interview. The telephone interviews will require no recordkeeping. All human health data collection will be recorded utilizing computer-assisted personal interviews (CAPI). The telephone interview incorporates the same concept of direct data collection in a desk personal computer (PC) setting. The tablet notebooks and desk PCs are used by interviewers to collect human health data. Screens on these tablets and PCs only display current activated questions. All human health data is stored in secured locations to maintain confidentiality. The ICR provides a detailed explanation of the Agency’s estimate, which is only briefly summarized here: Estimated total number of potential respondents: 21,000. Frequency of response: On occasion. Estimated total average number of responses for each respondent: 3. Estimated total annual burden hours: 15,750. Estimated total annual costs: $236,250. This includes an estimated burden cost of $0 and an estimated cost of $0 for capital investment or maintenance and operational costs. jlentini on PROD1PC65 with NOTICES Are There Changes in the Estimates From the Last Approval? There is an increase of 10,500 hours in the total estimated respondent burden compared with that identified in the ICR currently approved by OMB. This increase is required to provide the science necessary to help inform the development of new public health standards for recreational water. VerDate Aug<31>2005 16:39 May 13, 2008 Jkt 214001 What Is the Next Step in the Process for This ICR? EPA will consider the 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.

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 information collection will be conducted by EPA’s Office of Air and Radiation (OAR) to assist the Administrator of EPA, as required by sections 112(d) and 129 of the Clean Air Act (CAA), in determining the current population of affected combustion units and to develop emission standards for these source categories. There will be two components to the information collection. To obtain the information necessary to identify and categorize all boilers and process heaters potentially affected by the revised standards, the first component of this ICR will solicit information from all potentially affected units in the format of an electronic survey under authority of section 114 of the CAA. The survey will be submitted to all facilities that either submitted an initial notification for the vacated standard (40 CFR Part 63, subpart DDDDD, which was vacated by the Courts on June 8, 2007), or if initial notification data is not available, it will be sent to all facilities identified by States as being subject to the vacated standard, or facilities that are classified as a major source in their Title V permit that have a boiler or process heater listed in their permit. The survey will also be sent to units covered by the 2000 emissions standards for commercial and industrial solid waste incineration units (40 CFR Part 60 Subpart CCCC) (2000 CISWI standard) and to facilities that have incineration units that were listed as exempt under the 2000 CISWI standard. A facility will complete the survey for all combustion units located at the facility. If a facility receiving the survey also has an incinerator at the same source, they will be required to complete a separate survey section to classify their incinerator design, operations, air pollution control, emissions, and fuel. The second component will consist of requiring, if deemed necessary, again under the authority of section 114 of the VerDate Aug<31>2005 16:39 May 13, 2008 Jkt 214001 CAA, the owners/operators of up to a total of 350 combustion units to conduct emission testing for hazardous air pollutants (HAP) and HAP surrogates. The Agency will analyze the results of the survey to determine if sufficient data exist to develop emission standards under sections 112(d) and 129 of the CAA for all subcategories of fuel and combustor types. If data are not sufficient, then the Agency will design a statistical sample to select pools of candidates to conduct emission testing. The Agency will submit a list of candidates within each category to stakeholders for their review and comment. The Agency will make a random selection of test sites, within each category, after taking into account stakeholders comments. The testing results will be required to be submitted to the Agency. Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 24 hours per response for the survey and 85 hours per response for the stack testing. 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 affected by this action may be owners/operators of industrial, commercial, and institutional boilers and process heaters as defined under the vacated boiler and process heater NESHAP. Estimated Number of Respondents: 3,396. Frequency of Response: One time. Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 37,328. Estimated Total Annual Cost: $13,118,852. This includes estimated O&M costs of $1,133 for the electronic survey component and $10,507,117 for the stack testing component. There are no capital or start-up costs.

    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, 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 information collection will be conducted by EPA's 
Office of Air and Radiation (OAR) to assist the Administrator of EPA, 
as required by sections 112(d) and 129 of the Clean Air Act (CAA), in 
determining the current population of affected combustion units and to 
develop emission standards for these source categories.

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 affected by this action 
may be owners/operators of industrial, commercial, and institutional 
boilers and process heaters as defined under the vacated boiler and 
process heater NESHAP.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 3,396.
    Frequency of Response: One time.
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 37,328.
    Estimated Total Annual Cost: $13,118,852. This includes estimated 
O&M costs of $1,133 for the electronic survey component and $10,507,117 
for the stack testing component. There are no capital or start-up 
costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: Because this is a new ICR, there is no 
burden currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR 
Burdens.
