ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to
expire on May 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: The New Source
Performance Standards (NSPS) for Kraft
Pulp Mills were proposed on September
24, 1976, and promulgated on February
23, 1978. Revision to the standards was
promulgated on May 20, 1986. These
standards apply to total reduced sulfur
(TRS) and particulate matter emissions
from new, modified and reconstructed
kraft pulp mills. Owners or operators of
the affected facilities described must
make initial reports when a source
becomes subject, conduct and report on
a performance test, demonstrate and
report on continuous monitor
performance, and maintain records of
the occurrence and duration of any
startup, shutdown, or malfunction in
the operation of an affected facility.
Semiannual reports of excess emissions
are required. These notifications,
reports, and records are essential in
determining compliance; and are
required, in general, of all sources
subject to NSPS.
PO 00000
Frm 00030
Fmt 4703

Owners or operators of the affected
facilities must make a one-time-only
report of the date of construction or
reconstruction, notification of the actual
date of startup, notification of any
physical or operational change to an
existing facility that may increase the
rate of emission of the regulated
pollutant, notification of initial
performance test, and results of initial
performance test. 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 achieved. A
semiannual summary report is also
required.
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 two 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 BB, 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 37 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 kraft pulp
mills.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
100.
Frequency of Response: On occasion,
initially and semiannually.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:
15,235.
Estimated Total Annual Cost:
$5,194,799, which is comprised of
$1,229,899 in labor costs, $344,900 in
capital/startup costs, and operation and
maintenance (O&M) costs of $3,620,000.
Changes in the Estimates: There is no
change in the labor cost in this ICR
compared to the previous ICR. This is
due to two considerations. First, the
regulations have not changed over the
past three years and are not anticipated
to change over the next three years.
Secondly, the growth rate for the
industry is very low, negative or
nonexistent, so there is no significant
change in the overall burden. It should
be noted that there is a small adjustment
to the burden cost figure because
rounded figures were used in the
previous ICR. In this ICR, exact figures
are used.
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.

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given by the
United States Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) that an exemption to the
land disposal restrictions under the

1984 Hazardous and Solid Waste
Amendments (HSWA) to the Resource
Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA)
has been granted to ArcelorMittal
Hennepin, Inc. (Hennepin Works) of
Hennepin, Illinois, for one Class I
injection well located in Hennepin,
Illinois. As required by 40 CFR part 148,
Hennepin Works has demonstrated, to a
reasonable degree of certainty, that there
will be no migration of hazardous
constituents out of the injection zone or
into an underground source of drinking
water (USDW) for at least 10,000 years.
This final decision allows the continued
underground injection by Hennepin
Works of a specific restricted waste,
Waste Pickle Liquor (code K062 under
40 CFR part 261), into one Class I
hazardous waste injection well
specifically identified as Waste Pickle
Liquor No. 1 (WPL–1), at the Hennepin
facility. This decision constitutes a final
EPA action for which there is no
Administrative Appeal.
DATES: This action is effective as of
March 3, 2009.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Leslie Patterson, Lead Petition
Reviewer, EPA, Region V, telephone
(312) 886–4904. Copies of the petition

less permeable sedimentary rocks,
which provide additional protection
from fluid migration into drinking water
sources.
EPA issued a draft decision, which
described the reasons for granting this
exemption in more detail, a fact sheet,
which summarized these reasons, and a
public notice on November 24, 2008,
pursuant to 40 CFR 124.10. The public
comment period expired on December
26, 2008. EPA received no comments on
the proposed exemption granted to
Hennepin Works. A final exemption is
therefore granted as proposed.
Background
Hennepin Works submitted a petition
for renewal of an existing exemption
from the land disposal restrictions of
hazardous waste on March 6, 2007. EPA
personnel reviewed all data pertaining
to the petition, including, but not
limited to, well construction, well
operations, regional and local geology,
seismic activity, penetrations of the
confining zone, and computational
models of the injection zone. EPA has
determined that the geologic setting at
the site as well as the construction and
operation of the well are adequate to
prevent fluid migration out of the
injection zone within 10,000 years, as
required under 40 CFR part 148. The
injection zone at this site is the Mt.
Simon Sandstone and the lower Eau
Claire Formation, at depths between
2,902 feet and 4,800 feet below ground
level. The confining zone is the upper
Eau Claire formation (Proviso Member)
at depths between 2,705 feet and 2,902
feet below ground level. The confining
zone is separated from the lowermost
underground source of drinking water

Limitation at the well
head
Maximum concentration is 1200 mg/L.
Minimum pH is zero.
(6) The monthly average of the
specific gravity of the injected waste
stream must fall within the range of 1.00
to 1.27;
(7) The volume of wastes injected in
any month through the well must not
exceed 6,705,990 gallons;
(8) This exemption is approved for the
22-year modeled injection period,
which ends on December 31, 2028.
Hennepin Works may petition EPA for
a reissuance of the exemption beyond
that date, provided that a new and
complete petition and no-migration
demonstration is received at EPA,
Region 5, by July 1, 2028;

capability to comply with emissions standards and not the operating
conditions under which compliance was achieved. A semiannual summary
report is also required.
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 two 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 BB, 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 37
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
[[Page 9241]]
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 kraft pulp
mills.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 100.
Frequency of Response: On occasion, initially and semiannually.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 15,235.
Estimated Total Annual Cost: $5,194,799, which is comprised of
$1,229,899 in labor costs, $344,900 in capital/startup costs, and
operation and maintenance (O&M) costs of $3,620,000.
Changes in the Estimates: There is no change in the labor cost in
this ICR compared to the previous ICR. This is due to two
considerations. First, the regulations have not changed over the past
three years and are not anticipated to change over the next three
years. Secondly, the growth rate for the industry is very low, negative
or nonexistent, so there is no significant change in the overall
burden. It should be noted that there is a small adjustment to the
burden cost figure because rounded figures were used in the previous
ICR. In this ICR, exact figures are used.
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.
