Download as PDF sroberts on PROD1PC70 with NOTICES Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 205 / Wednesday, October 22, 2008 / Notices 261.38; the general facility requirements at 40 CFR parts 264 and 265, subparts B through H; the requirements applicable to BIF units at 40 CFR part 266; and the RCRA Part B permit application and modification requirements at 40 CFR part 270. Examples of paperwork collected under these requirements include one-time notices, certifications, waste analysis data, inspection and monitoring records, plans reports, RCRA Part B permit applications and modifications. The responses to the collection of information are mandatory. EPA needs this information for the proper implementation, compliance tracking, and fulfillment of the congressionally delegated mandate under RCRA to protect public health and the environment. EPA, however, has taken steps to minimize the burden imposed on the facilities, and ensures the confidentiality of the provided information by complying with Section 3007(b) of RCRA, Privacy Act of 1974 and OMB Circular #108. Based on information from the EPA Regions, we estimated at last renewal of this ICR that 91 BIF facilities are subject to the RCRA hazardous waste program. Of these, we estimate that 32 BIFs are currently under interim status and the remaining 59 are in permitted status. This renewal takes into account the current universe of the BIF facilities, and the current regulations applicable to them based on the amendments made to date. Burden statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 2,626 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: 91. Frequency of response: Annual. VerDate Aug<31>2005 17:50 Oct 21, 2008 Jkt 217001 Estimated total average number of responses for each respondent: 22. Estimated total annual burden hours: 238,997 hours. Estimated total annual costs: $33,665,000, includes $7,855,000 annualized capital/startup cost, $9,880,000 annual O&M costs and $15,930,000 annual labor 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 FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT. Dated: October 6, 2008.

Abstract: The National Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Polyether Polyols Production, (40 CFR part 63 subpart PPP) was proposed on June l, 1999 and published January 30, 2002. These regulations apply to new and existing facilities that engage in the manufacture of polyether polyols (which also include polyether mono-ols) and emit hazardous air pollutants (HAP). Owners or operators of polyether polyols production facilities to which this regulation is applicable must choose one of the compliance options described in the rule or install and monitor a specific control system that reduces HAP emissions to the compliance level. Compliance is assumed through initial performance testing or design analysis, as appropriate, and ongoing compliance is demonstrated through parametric monitoring.
