To ensure proper receipt by EPA, be sure to identify the docket ID number assigned to this action in the subject line on the first page of your response. You may also provide the name, date, and Federal Register citation. What Information Collection Activity or ICR Does This Apply to? Docket ID No. EPA–HQ–OAR–2003– 0085 Affected entities: Entities potentially affected by this action are the following industries and associated NAICS Codes: Elemental Phosphorous—325188; Phosphogypsum Stacks—212392; Underground Uranium Mines—212291; and Uranium Mills—212291. Title: NESHAP for Radionuclides (40 CFR part 61, subparts B, K, R and W) (Renewal). ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 1100.13, OMB Control No. 2060–0191. ICR status: This ICR is currently scheduled to expire on January 31, 2009. 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: In the context of the Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C. 1857), Section 114 authorizes the Administrator of EPA to require any person who owns or operates any emission source or who is subject to any requirements of the Act to: (1) Establish and maintain records, (2) Make reports, install, use, and maintain monitoring equipment or method, (3) Sample emissions in accordance with EPA-prescribed locations, intervals and methods, and (4) Provide information as may be requested. EPA’s regional offices use the information collected to ensure that public health continues to be protected from the hazards of radionuclides by compliance with health based standards. This information is required for those facilities meeting the definition of each Subpart. EPA’s compliance monitoring activities vary widely. EPA could issue a letter requesting information about compliance or could conduct a full scale VerDate Aug<31>2005 15:26 Sep 17, 2008 Jkt 214001 investigation, including on-site inspections. Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 148 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: 62. Frequency of response: Annual. Estimated total average number of responses for each respondent: 1. Estimated total annual burden hours: 148 hours. Estimated total annual costs: $1,270,000. This includes an estimated burden cost of $460,000 and an estimated cost of $810,000 for capital investment or maintenance and operational costs. Are There Changes in the Estimates From the Last Approval? There is an increase of 4,984 hours in the total estimated respondent burden compared with that identified in the ICR currently approved by OMB. This increase reflects an increase in the number of facilities affected due to both renewed interest in uranium mining and phosphgypsum usage. 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 PO 00000 Frm 00024 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 54157 approval process, please contact the technical person listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.

    Needs and Uses: Congress has mandated that after February 17, 2009, 
full-power television broadcast stations must transmit only in digital 
signals, and may no longer transmit analog signals. On December 22, 
2007, the Commission adopted a Report and Order in the matter of the 
Third Periodic Review of the Commission's Rules and Policies Affecting 
the Conversion to Digital Television, MB Docket No. 07-91, FCC 07-228 
(``Third DTV Periodic Report and Order'') to establish the rules, 
policies and procedures necessary to complete the nation's transition 
to DTV. As a result of the Third DTV Periodic Report and Order, DTV 
stations that are permittees must now comply with the requirements for 
feeable ancillary or supplementary services in Section 73.624(g) (using 
FCC Form 317). This new requirement in 47 CFR Sec.  73.624(g) adds a

they provided ancillary or supplementary services at any time during 
the reporting cycle. The report indicates which services were provided, 
fee related services, gross revenues received from all feeable 
ancillary and supplementary services, and the amount of bitstream used 
to provide ancillary or supplementary service.
    Concurrent with the submission of FCC Form 317, each commercial and 
noncommercial educational DTV licensee and permittee is required to 
remit to the Commission a payment, FCC Form 159 (3060-0589), in the 
amount of 5% of the gross revenues derived from the provision of its 
ancillary or supplementary services.
    Each licensee and permittee is required to retain the records 
supporting the calculation of the fees due for three years from the 
date of remittance of fees. Noncommercial DTV licensees/permittees must 
also retain for eight years documentation sufficient to show that their 
entire bitstream was used ``primarily'' for noncommercial education 
broadcast services on a weekly basis.
