What Information Collection Activity or
ICR Does This Apply To?
Affected entities: Entities potentially
affected by this action are businesses
and other for-profit as well as State,
local, or tribal governments.
Title: RCRA Expanded Public
Participation.
ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 1688.06,
OMB Control No. 2050–0149.
ICR status: This ICR is currently
scheduled to expire on October 31,
2008. 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: Section 7004(b) of RCRA
gives EPA broad authority to provide
for, encourage, and assist public
participation in the development,
revision, implementation, and
enforcement of any regulation,
guideline, information, or program
under RCRA. In addition, the statute
specifies certain public notices (i.e.,
radio, newspaper, and a letter to
relevant agencies) that EPA must
provide before issuing any RCRA
permit. The statute also establishes a
process by which the public can dispute
a permit and request a public hearing to
discuss it. EPA carries out much of its
RCRA public involvement at 40 CFR
parts 124 and 270.
In 1995, EPA expanded the public
participation requirements under the
RCRA program by promulgating the
RCRA Expanded Public Participation
Rule (60 FR 63417; December 11, 1995).
The rule responded to calls by the
Administration and stakeholders (e.g.,
States and private citizens) to provide
earlier and better public participation in
EPA’s permitting programs, including
procedures for more timely information
sharing. In particular, the rule requires
earlier public involvement in the
VerDate Aug<31>2005
15:35 Jun 09, 2008
Jkt 211001
permitting process (e.g., pre-application
meetings), expanded public notice for
significant events (e.g., notices of
upcoming trial burns), and more
opportunities for the exchange of
permitting information (e.g.,
information repository).
The required activities and
information are needed to help assure
timely and effective public participation
in the permitting process. The
requirements are intended to provide
equal access to information to all
stakeholders in the permitting process:
the permitting agency, the permit
applicant, and the community where a
facility is located. Some facilities may
be required to develop information
repositories to allow for expanded
public participation and access to
detailed facility information as part of
the permitting process.
EPA sought to reduce the reporting
frequency to the minimum that is
necessary to ensure compliance with the
rule. It would not be possible to collect
this information less frequently and still
assure that the requirements of permit
and public involvement regulations are
met by owners or operators. The
reporting frequency is essential to
assure that any changes in the trial burn
plans or in the anticipated permit
application contents are made known to
EPA and to the public.
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.
The ICR provides a detailed
explanation of the Agency’s estimate,
which is only briefly summarized here:
Estimated total number of potential
respondents: 33.
Frequency of response: On occasion.
Estimated total average number of
responses for each respondent: 1.
PO 00000
Frm 00030
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
Estimated total annual burden hours:
3,005 hours.
Estimated total annual costs: $3,409,
which includes $546 annualized capital
and $2,863 O&M costs.
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

Abstract: The National Emission
Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants
(NESHAP) for Leather Finishing
Operations were proposed on October 2,
2000 (65 FR 58702), and promulgated
on February 27, 2002. These standards
apply to any existing, reconstructed, or
new leather finishing operations. A
leather finishing operation is a single
process or group of processes used to
adjust and improve the physical and
aesthetic characteristics of the leather
surface through multistage application
of a coating comprised of dyes,
pigments, film-forming materials and
performance modifiers dissolved or
suspended in liquid carriers. A leather
finishing operation is only subject to the
regulation if it is a major source of
hazardous air pollutant (HAP), emitting
or has the potential to emit any single
HAP at the rate of 10 tons (9.07
megagrams) or more per year or any
combination of HAP at a rate of 25 tons
(22.68 megagrams).
Owners and operators must submit
notification reports upon the
construction or reconstruction of any
leather finishing operation. Any leather
finishing operation that starts up after
proposal but before promulgation must
submit an initial notification similar to
the one submitted by existing sources.
Each new or reconstructed source that
starts up after promulgation must
submit a series of notifications in
addition to the initial notification that
include notification of intent to
construct or reconstruct and notification
of startup. Upon the collection of twelve
PO 00000
Frm 00031
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
32705
months of data after the date of initial
notification, owners or operators of
leather finishing operations must submit
an annual compliance status
certification report and annually
thereafter. Owners or operators of a
leather finishing operation subject to the
rule must 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.
Notifications are to inform the Agency
or delegated authority when a source
becomes subject to the standard. The
reviewing authority may then inspect
the source to ensure that the pollution
control devices are properly installed
and operating and that the standards are
being met. Performance test reports are
required as these are the Agency’s
records of a source’s initial capability to
comply with the emission standards and
to serve as a record of the operating
conditions under which compliance
was achieved. The information
generated by monitoring, recordkeeping
and reporting requirements described in
this ICR are used by the Agency to
ensure that facilities that are affected by
the standard continue to operate the
control equipment and achieve
continuous compliance with the
regulation.
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 63, subpart TTTT, as
authorized in sections 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 listed in
40 CFR part 9 and 48 CFR chapter 15
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 33 hours per
response. Burden means the total time,
effort, or financial resources expended
by persons to generate, maintain, retain,
or disclose and 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. All existing
ways will have to adjust to comply with
any previously applicable instructions
and requirements that 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:
Leather finishing operations.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
10.
Frequency of Response: Initially,
occasionally, and annually.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:
334.
Estimated Total Annual Cost:
$21,279.00, inclusion of labor costs.
There are no annualized capital/startup
and annual O&M costs associated with
this ICR.
Changes in the Estimates: There is no
change in the labor hours or cost in this
ICR compared to the previous ICR. This
is due to two considerations: (1) The
regulations have not changed over the
past three years and there are not
anticipated changes over the next three
years; and (2) the growth rate for the
industry is very low, negative or nonexistent, 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.

Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air
Pollutants (NESHAP) for Leather Finishing Operations were proposed on
October 2, 2000 (65 FR 58702), and promulgated on February 27, 2002.
These standards apply to any existing, reconstructed, or new leather
finishing operations. A leather finishing operation is a single process
or group of processes used to adjust and improve the physical and
aesthetic characteristics of the leather surface through multistage
application of a coating comprised of dyes, pigments, film-forming
materials and performance modifiers dissolved or suspended in liquid
carriers. A leather finishing operation is only subject to the
regulation if it is a major source of hazardous air pollutant (HAP),
emitting or has the potential to emit any single HAP at the rate of 10
tons (9.07 megagrams) or more per year or any combination of HAP at a
rate of 25 tons (22.68 megagrams).
Owners and operators must submit notification reports upon the
construction or reconstruction of any leather finishing operation. Any
leather finishing operation that starts up after proposal but before
promulgation must submit an initial notification similar to the one
submitted by existing sources. Each new or reconstructed source that
starts up after promulgation must submit a series of notifications in
addition to the initial notification that include notification of
intent to construct or reconstruct and notification of startup. Upon
the collection of twelve months of data after the date of initial
notification, owners or operators of leather finishing operations must
submit an annual compliance status certification report and annually
thereafter. Owners or operators of a leather finishing operation
subject to the rule must 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.
Notifications are to inform the Agency or delegated authority when
a source becomes subject to the standard. The reviewing authority may
then inspect the source to ensure that the pollution control devices
are properly installed and operating and that the standards are being
met. Performance test reports are required as these are the Agency's
records of a source's initial capability to comply with the emission
standards and to serve as a record of the operating conditions under
which compliance was achieved. The information generated by monitoring,
recordkeeping and reporting requirements described in this ICR are used
by the Agency to ensure that facilities that are affected by the
standard continue to operate the control equipment and achieve
continuous compliance with the regulation.
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 63, subpart TTTT, as
authorized in sections 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 listed in 40 CFR part 9 and 48 CFR chapter 15 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 33
hours per response. Burden means the total time, effort, or financial
resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or
disclose and 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
[[Page 32706]]
maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information. All
existing ways will have to adjust to comply with any previously
applicable instructions and requirements that 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: Leather finishing operations.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 10.
Frequency of Response: Initially, occasionally, and annually.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 334.
Estimated Total Annual Cost: $21,279.00, inclusion of labor costs.
There are no annualized capital/startup and annual O&M costs associated
with this ICR.
Changes in the Estimates: There is no change in the labor hours or
cost in this ICR compared to the previous ICR. This is due to two
considerations: (1) The regulations have not changed over the past
three years and there are not anticipated changes over the next three
years; and (2) 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.
