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,
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

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
investigation, including on-site
inspections. The information required to
be submitted is not confidential in
nature.
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.
Respondents/Affected Entities: The
NAICS Codes of facilities associated
with the activity of the respondents are:
Elemental Phosphorous—325188,
Phosphogypsum Stacks—212392,
Underground Uranium Mines—212291,
and Uranium Mill Tailings—212291.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
62.
Frequency of Response: Initially,
Annually, Occasionally.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:
9,196.
Estimated Total Annual Cost:
$1,262,386, includes $808,650
annualized O&M costs.
Changes in the Estimates: There is an
increase of 5,164 hours in the total
estimated burden currently identified in
the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR
Burdens. This increase reflects an
increase in the number of facilities
affected due to both renewed interest in
uranium mining and phosphogypsum
usage.

Title: NSPS for Existing Other Solid
Waste Incineration Units (Renewal).
ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number
2164.03, OMB Control Number 2060–
0562.
ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to
expire on March 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.
Abstract: NSPS for Existing Other
Solid Waste Incineration Units were
promulgated on December 16, 2005 (70
FR 74892) and amended on November
24, 2006 (71 FR 67806). This standard
applies to any air quality program in
either a State or United States
protectorate with one or more existing
other solid waste incineration (OSWI)
units or air curtain incinerators that
commenced construction on or before
December 9, 2004. This subpart does not
directly affect incineration unit owners
and operators; however, they must
comply with the State’s plan that has
been developed by the air quality
program administrator to implement the
emission guidelines.
Owners or operators of the affected
facilities must make a one-time-only
report, initial notification, and
performance tests. They are also
required to perform other activities,
such as emissions testing operator
training, monitoring of operating
parameters, annual operator training
and annual reporting. Owners or
operators are also required to maintain
records of the occurrence and duration
of any startup, shutdown, or
malfunction, or any period during
PO 00000
Frm 00063
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
which the monitoring system is
inoperative. Performance tests are the
Agency’s records of a source’s initial
capability to comply with emissions
standards and not the operating
conditions under which compliance
was to achieve.
Any owner or operator subject to the
provisions of this subpart must maintain
a file of these measurements, and retain
the file for at least five years following
the collection of such measurements,
maintenance reports, and records.
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 60, subpart FFFF, 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 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 237 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:
Owners and operators of existing other
solid waste incineration units.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
248.
Frequency of Response: Initially,
annually and semiannually.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:
176,576.
E:\FR\FM\26JAN1.SGM
26JAN1
Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 15 / Monday, January 26, 2009 / Notices
Estimated Total Annual Cost:
$17,181,351, includes $15,941,351 in
Labor costs, $1,240,000 in O&M costs,
and zero capital/startup costs.
Changes in the Estimates: There is an
adjustment increase in the total
estimated burden as currently identified
in the OMB Inventory of Approved
Burdens. This increase is not due to any
program changes. The increase in the
labor hour burden estimates has
occurred due to compliance with all of
the provisions in the standard by the
affected entities. The previous ICR only
included burden associated with
achieving compliance. In addition,
compliance was achieved over several
years.
There is an increase in operating and
maintenance (O&M) costs associated
with this ICR, as compared with the
previous ICR. This is attributed to the
fact that the affected entities have
transitioned from initial compliance to
continuing compliance.

Abstract: The National Emission
Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants
(NESHAP) for Source Categories:
Generic Maximum Achievable Control
Technology (hereafter, this subpart is
referred to as the ‘‘Generic MACT’’)
were proposed on October 14, 1998 (63
FR 55178) and promulgated on June 29,
1999 (64 FR 34854). These regulations
apply to hazardous air pollutant (HAP)
emission sources in four categories
including: Polycarbonates (PC)
Production, Acrylic and Modacrylic
Fibers (AMF) Production, Acetal Resins
(AR) Production and Hydrogen Fluoride
(HF) Production.
In general, all NESHAP standards
require initial notifications,
performance tests, and periodic reports.
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. The specific monitoring
and recordkeeping requirements vary
for each source category depending on
the types of emissions control
equipment and monitoring equipment
used to comply with the Generic MACT
standards for their category. These
notifications, reports, and records are
essential in determining compliance,

Abstract: NSPS for Existing Other Solid Waste Incineration Units
were promulgated on December 16, 2005 (70 FR 74892) and amended on
November 24, 2006 (71 FR 67806). This standard applies to any air
quality program in either a State or United States protectorate with
one or more existing other solid waste incineration (OSWI) units or air
curtain incinerators that commenced construction on or before December
9, 2004. This subpart does not directly affect incineration unit owners
and operators; however, they must comply with the State's plan that has
been developed by the air quality program administrator to implement
the emission guidelines.
Owners or operators of the affected facilities must make a one-
time-only report, initial notification, and performance tests. They are
also required to perform other activities, such as emissions testing
operator training, monitoring of operating parameters, annual operator
training and annual reporting. Owners or operators are also required to
maintain records of the occurrence and duration of any startup,
shutdown, or malfunction, or any period during which the monitoring
system is inoperative. Performance tests are the Agency's records of a
source's initial capability to comply with emissions standards and not
the operating conditions under which compliance was to achieve.
Any owner or operator subject to the provisions of this subpart
must maintain a file of these measurements, and retain the file for at
least five years following the collection of such measurements,
maintenance reports, and records.
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 60, subpart FFFF, 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
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 237
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: Owners and operators of existing
other solid waste incineration units.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 248.
Frequency of Response: Initially, annually and semiannually.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 176,576.
[[Page 4431]]
Estimated Total Annual Cost: $17,181,351, includes $15,941,351 in
Labor costs, $1,240,000 in O&M costs, and zero capital/startup costs.
Changes in the Estimates: There is an adjustment increase in the
total estimated burden as currently identified in the OMB Inventory of
Approved Burdens. This increase is not due to any program changes. The
increase in the labor hour burden estimates has occurred due to
compliance with all of the provisions in the standard by the affected
entities. The previous ICR only included burden associated with
achieving compliance. In addition, compliance was achieved over several
years.
There is an increase in operating and maintenance (O&M) costs
associated with this ICR, as compared with the previous ICR. This is
attributed to the fact that the affected entities have transitioned
from initial compliance to continuing compliance.
