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: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for asbestos were proposed on January 10, 1989, and promulgated on November 20, 1990 (55 FR 48414). E:\FR\FM\17FEN1.SGM 17FEN1 sroberts on PROD1PC70 with NOTICES Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 30 / Tuesday, February 17, 2009 / Notices These standards apply to the following affected facilities: demolition and renovation of facilities; the disposal of asbestos waste; asbestos milling, manufacturing and fabricating; the use of asbestos on roadways; asbestos waste conversion facilities; and the use of asbestos insulation and sprayed-on materials. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 61, subpart M. The monitoring, recordkeeping, and reporting requirements outlined in these rules are similar to those required for other NESHAP regulations. Consistent with the NESHAP General Provisions (40 CFR part 63, subpart A), respondents are required to submit initial notifications conduct performance tests, and submit semiannual reports. They are also required to maintain records of applicability determinations; performance test results; exceedances; periods of startup, shutdown, or malfunction; monitoring records; and all other information needed to determine compliance with the applicable standard, such as records of visible emissions monitoring at potential sources of asbestos and of inspection records of air cleaning devices to ensure proper operation. 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 61, subpart M, 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 estimated to average two 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 VerDate Nov<24>2008 19:45 Feb 13, 2009 Jkt 217001 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 asbestos milling, manufacturing, fabricating, waste disposal, and waste conversion facilities Estimated Number of Respondents: 9,432 Frequency of Response: On occasion, initially and semiannually Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 229,381 Estimated Total Annual Cost: $18,517,636, inclusive of Labor costs. There are no capital/startup or O&M costs associated with this ICR. Changes in the Estimates: There is no change in the labor hours or burden cost (capital startup/O&M expenses) 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 are not anticipated to change 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. It should be noted that there is minor correction to the labor hour cost due to rounding errors in the previous ICR. 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.

    ICR Status: This ICR is schedule to expire on April 30, 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: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air 
Pollutants (NESHAP) for asbestos were proposed on January 10, 1989, and 
promulgated on November 20, 1990 (55 FR 48414).

[[Page 7429]]

These standards apply to the following affected facilities: demolition 
and renovation of facilities; the disposal of asbestos waste; asbestos 
milling, manufacturing and fabricating; the use of asbestos on 
roadways; asbestos waste conversion facilities; and the use of asbestos 
insulation and sprayed-on materials. This information is being 
collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 61, subpart M.
    The monitoring, recordkeeping, and reporting requirements outlined 
in these rules are similar to those required for other NESHAP 
regulations. Consistent with the NESHAP General Provisions (40 CFR part 
63, subpart A), respondents are required to submit initial 
notifications conduct performance tests, and submit semiannual reports. 
They are also required to maintain records of applicability 
determinations; performance test results; exceedances; periods of 
startup, shutdown, or malfunction; monitoring records; and all other 
information needed to determine compliance with the applicable 
standard, such as records of visible emissions monitoring at potential 
sources of asbestos and of inspection records of air cleaning devices 
to ensure proper operation.
    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 61, subpart M, 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 estimated to average two 
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 asbestos 
milling, manufacturing, fabricating, waste disposal, and waste 
conversion facilities
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 9,432
    Frequency of Response: On occasion, initially and semiannually
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 229,381
    Estimated Total Annual Cost: $18,517,636, inclusive of Labor costs. 
There are no capital/startup or O&M costs associated with this ICR.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is no change in the labor hours or 
burden cost (capital startup/O&M expenses) 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 are not anticipated to 
change 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. It should be noted that there 
is minor correction to the labor hour cost due to rounding errors in 
the previous ICR.
    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.
