Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 111 / Monday, June 9, 2008 / Notices
mstockstill on PROD1PC66 with NOTICES
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.
The ICR provides a detailed
explanation of the Agency’s estimate,
which is only briefly summarized here:
Estimated total number of potential
respondents: 66,394.
Frequency of response: On occasion.
Estimated total average number of
responses for each respondent: 1.
Estimated total annual burden hours:
6,700 hours.
Estimated total annual costs:
$262,980.47. This includes an estimated
burden cost of $262,980.47 and an
estimated cost of $0 for capital
investment or maintenance and
operational costs.
Are There Changes in the Estimates
From the Last Approval?
There is a decrease of 182 hours in the
total estimated respondent burden
compared with that identified in the ICR
currently approved by OMB. There are
two reasons for this decrease in burden
hours. In 2002, it was estimated that
there would be 4,000 purchases of small
containers of class I and class II
refrigerant for resale only by uncertified
purchasers. It is estimated that at the
time (in 2002), there were an estimated
32 million R–12 MVACs on the road.
Today, it is estimated that there are only
11 million R–12 MVACs on the road, or
roughly 65% less than there were in
2002. Therefore, to account for the
decreased market for small containers of
CFC–12 refrigerant, this ICR estimates
that the number of purchases for resale
only by uncertified purchasers of small
cans will be 65% less than in 2002, or
1,370 purchases.
The second reason the burden hours
have decreased is that the substantially
identical equipment approval process is
no longer applicable. This portion of
Section 609(b)(2)(B) of the Act and 40
CFR 82.36(b) allowed for equipment
that was purchased before the proposal
of the regulations to be approved by
EPA if it was substantially identical to
equipment that had been certified by the
VerDate Aug<31>2005
18:05 Jun 06, 2008
Jkt 214001
EPA or approved independent
laboratory. The substantially identical
equipment regulation only relates to
CFC–12 recovery and recycling
equipment initially purchased before
September 4, 1991; CFC–12 recoveryonly equipment initially purchased
before April 22, 1992; HFC–134a
recovery and recycling, or recovery-only
equipment initially purchased before
March 6, 1996; equipment that recovers
but does not recycle any single, specific
refrigerant other than CFC–12 or HFC–
134a that was initially purchased before
March 6, 1996; or equipment that
recovers and recycles HFC–134a and
CFC–12 refrigerant using common
circuitry that was initially purchased
before March 6, 1996. Because the
average lifetime of such equipment is
roughly 7 years, all such equipment is
obsolete today. Therefore,
documentation requirements related to
this section have been removed from
this ICR. In the previous ICR, 12
establishment burden hours and $1,200
annual costs were allocated to this
activity.
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. If you
have any questions about this ICR or the
approval process, please contact the
technical person listed under FOR
