Title: EPA’s Voluntary Aluminum Industrial Partnership (VAIP) (Renewal) ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 1867.04, OMB Control No. 2060–0411. ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on February 28, 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 are displayed either by jlentini on PROD1PC65 with NOTICES SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: VerDate Nov<24>2008 16:31 Feb 20, 2009 Jkt 217001 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: EPA’s Voluntary Aluminum Industrial Partnership (VAIP) was initiated in 1995 and is an important voluntary program contributing to the overall reduction in emissions of greenhouse gases. This program focuses on reducing direct greenhouse gas emissions including perfluorocarbon (PFC) and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from the production of primary aluminum. Seven of the eight U.S. producers of primary aluminum participate in this program. PFCs are very potent greenhouse gases with global warming potentials several thousand times that of carbon dioxide, and they persist in the atmosphere for thousands of years. CO2 is emitted from consumption of the carbon anode. Participants voluntarily agree to the following: designating a VAIP liaison; undertaking technically feasible and cost-effective actions to reduce PFC and direct CO2 emissions; and reporting to EPA, on an annual basis, the PFC and direct CO2 emissions or production parameters used to estimate emissions. The information contained in the annual reports of VAIP members is used by EPA to assess the success of the program in achieving its goals. Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 90 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: Primary Production of Aluminum. Estimated Number of Respondents: 7. Frequency of Response: Annual. Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 633. PO 00000 Frm 00038 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 8089 Estimated Total Annual Cost: $47,054, includes $0 annualized capital or O&M costs. Changes in the Estimates: There is a decrease of 56 hours in the total estimated burden currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR Burdens. This decrease is due to EPA’s revised estimates for the number of hours associated with additional activities such as partnership. The change is an adjustment due to the reduced frequency of partnership meetings and the use of teleconferencing. Dated: February 17, 2009.
