ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 0746.07, OMB Control Number 2060– 0251. ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on January 31, 2009. Under OMB regulations, the Agency may continue to conduct or sponsor the collection of information while this submission is pending at 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, and 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. VerDate Aug<31>2005 14:36 Nov 17, 2008 Jkt 217001 Abstract: The New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for Calciners and Dryers in Mineral Industries (40 CFR part 60, subpart UUU) were proposed on April 23, 1986 and promulgated on September 28, 1992. The affected entities are subject to the General Provisions of the NSPA at 40 CFR part 60, subpart A and any changes, or additions to the General Provisions specified at 40 CFR part 60, subpart UUU. These standards apply to new, modified and reconstructed calciners and dryers at mineral processing plants that process or produce any of the following minerals and their concentrates or any mixture of which the majority is any of the following minerals or a combination of these minerals: Alumina, ball clay, bentonite, diatomite, feldspar, fire clay, fuller’s earth, gypsum, industrial sand, kaolin, lightweight aggregate, magnesium compounds, perlite, roofing granules, talc, titanium dioxide, and vermiculite. Particulate matter is the pollutant regulated under this subpart. Feed and product conveyors are not considered part of the affected facility. Facilities subject to NSPS subpart LL, Metallic Mineral Processing Plants are not subject to this standard. There are additional processes and process units at mineral processing plants listed at 60.730(b) which are not subject to the provisions of this subpart. Owners or operators are also required to maintain records of the occurrence and duration of any startup, shutdown, or malfunction in the operation of an affected facility, or any period during which the monitoring system is inoperative. Reports, at a minimum, are required semiannually. These notifications, reports, and records are essential in determining compliance, and are required, in general, of all sources subject to NSPS. Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 20 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 PO 00000 Frm 00027 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 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: Calciners and dryers at mineral processing plants that process or produce any of the following minerals and their concentrates or any mixture of which the majority is any of the following minerals or a combination of these minerals: Alumina, ball clay, bentonite, diatomite, feldspar, fire clay, fuller’s earth, gypsum, industrial sand, kaolin, lightweight aggregate, magnesium compounds, perlite, roofing granules, talc, titanium dioxide, and vermiculite. Estimated Number of Respondents: 167. Frequency of Response: Initially, occasionally, and semi-annually. Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 6,955. Estimated Total Annual Cost: $674,485, which includes $561,485 in Labor costs, $4,000 in annualized capital costs, and $109,000 in Operations & Maintenance (O&M) costs. Changes in the Estimates: There is no change in the total estimated burden currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR Burdens. Dated: November 12, 2008.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: State Enforcement Notifications—(OMB Control Number 0910–0275—Extension) Section 310(b) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the act) (21 U.S.C. 337(b)) authorizes States to enforce certain sections of the act in their own names, but provides that States must notify FDA before doing so. Section 100.2(d) (21 CFR 100.2(d)) sets forth the information that a State must provide to FDA in a letter of notification when it intends to take enforcement action under the act against a particular food located in the State. The information required under § 100.2(d) will enable FDA to identify the food against which the State intends to take action and advise the State whether Federal action has been taken against it. With certain narrow exceptions, Federal enforcement action precludes State action under the act. In the Federal Register of July 18, 2008 (73 FR 41360), FDA published a 60-day notice requesting public comment on the information collection provisions. No comments were received.

The estimated reporting burden for § 100.2(d) is minimal because enforcement notifications are seldom used by States. During the last 3 years, FDA has not received any new enforcement notifications; therefore, the agency estimates that one or fewer notifications will be submitted annually. Although FDA has not received any new enforcement notifications in the last 3 years, it believes these information collection provisions should be extended to provide for the potential future need of a State government to submit enforcement notifications informing FDA when it intends to take enforcement action under the act against a particular food located in the State.

Also include the FDA docket number found in brackets in the heading of 
this document.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:  Jonna Capezzuto, Office of 
Information Management (HFA-710), Food and Drug Administration, 5600 
Fishers Lane, Rockville, MD 20857, 301-796-3794.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In compliance with 44 U.S.C. 3507, FDA has 
submitted the following proposed collection of information to OMB for 
review and clearance.

State Enforcement Notifications--(OMB Control Number 0910-0275--
Extension)

    Section 310(b) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the 
act) (21 U.S.C. 337(b)) authorizes States to enforce certain sections 
of the act in their own names, but provides that States must notify FDA 
before doing so. Section 100.2(d) (21 CFR 100.2(d)) sets forth the 
information that a State must provide to FDA in a letter of 
notification when it intends to take enforcement action under the act 
against a particular food located in the State. The information 
required under Sec.  100.2(d) will enable FDA to identify the food 
against which the State intends to take action and advise the State 
whether Federal action has been taken against it. With certain narrow 
exceptions, Federal enforcement action precludes State action under the 
act.
    In the Federal Register of July 18, 2008 (73 FR 41360), FDA 
published a 60-day notice requesting public comment on the information 
collection provisions. No comments were received.
    FDA estimates the burden of this collection of information as 
follows:

                                                     Table 1.--Estimated Annual Reporting Burden\1\

                                                           No. of        Annual Frequency  per      Total Annual        Hours Per
                   21 CFR Section                       Respondents             Response             Responses           Response         Total Hours

100.2(d)                                                             1                        1                  1                 10                 10
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ There are no capital costs or operating and maintenance costs associated with this collection of information.

    The estimated reporting burden for Sec.  100.2(d) is minimal 
because enforcement notifications are seldom used by States. During the 
last 3 years, FDA has not received any new enforcement notifications; 
therefore, the agency estimates that one or fewer notifications will be 
submitted annually. Although FDA has not received any new enforcement 
notifications in the last 3 years, it believes these information 
collection provisions should be extended to provide for the potential 
future need of a State government to submit enforcement notifications 
informing FDA when it intends to take enforcement action under the act 
against a particular food located in the State.

    Dated: November 10, 2008.
Jeffrey Shuren,
Associate Commissioner for Policy and Planning.
