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, mstockstill on PROD1PC66 with NOTICES SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: VerDate Nov<24>2008 16:13 Apr 16, 2009 Jkt 217001 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 Reinforced Plastic Composites (RPC) Production Operations and Processes were proposed on August 2, 2001 (66 FR 40323), and promulgated on April 21, 2003 (68 FR 19375). These standards regulate fugitive emissions from reinforced plastic composites (RPC) production operations and processes resulting from hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) evaporating from the resins, gel coats, and cleaning solvents. Owners and operators of affected sources are subject to the monitoring, recordkeeping and reporting requirements of 40 CFR part 63, subpart A, the General Provisions, unless specified otherwise in the regulation. This rule requires sources to submit initial notifications, conduct performance tests if source is using an add-on control device, and submit periodic compliance reports. In addition, sources are required to maintain records of the occurrence and duration of any startup, shutdown, or malfunction in the operation if using an add-on control device; any period during which the monitoring system is inoperative; parametric monitoring data; system maintenance and calibration; and work practices to demonstrate initial and ongoing compliance with the regulation. Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 16 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.

Abstract: In an effort to aid implementation of the President’s May 2001 National Energy Strategy, as well as the President’s February 2002 Climate Change Strategy, EPA launched two new partnership programs with industry and other stakeholders: the Green Power Partnership and the Combined Heat and Power (CHP) Partnership.

EPA has developed this ICR to obtain authorization to collect information from organizations participating in the Green Power Partnership and CHP Partnership. Organizations that join these programs voluntarily agree to the following respective actions: (1) designating a Green Power or CHP liaison and filling out a Partnership Agreement or Letter of Intent (LOI) respectively, (2) for the Green Power Partnership, reporting to EPA, on an annual basis, their progress toward their green power commitment via a 2-page reporting form; (3) for the CHP Partnership, reporting to EPA information on their existing CHP projects and CHP development activity. EPA uses the data obtained from its partners to assess the success of these programs in achieving that national energy and greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction goals. Partners are organizational entities that have PO 00000 Frm 00040 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 17853 volunteered to participate in either Partnership program. Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to equal 5,823 hours and to average 3.25 hours per year 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 if 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: Companies, institutions, nongovernmental organizations, and State/ local governments that participate in the Green Power and Combined Heat and Power Partnerships. Estimated Number of Respondents: 1,794. Frequency of Response: Annual, on occasion, once. Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 5,823. Estimated Total Annual Cost: $517,118, which includes $0 annualized Capital Startup costs, $5,466 annualized Operating and Maintenance (O&M) costs and $511,652 annualized Labor costs. Changes in Estimates: There is an increase of 1,824 hours in the total estimated burden currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR Burdens. Since the last ICR renewal, both the Green Power Partnership and CHP Partnership have introduced program efficiencies to reduce program burden and simplified collection forms into pre-populated spreadsheets or documents. As a result of these changes, the average number of hours per Partner has decreased from 3.4 hours to 3.25 hours but the total hourly burden still increased because of an increase in the number of Partners. For perspective on the magnitude of partner growth, the number of Partners at the end of 2004 was 865, whereas by year-end there will be an estimated 1,308.

    Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping 
burden for this collection of information is estimated to equal 5,823 
hours and to average 3.25 hours per year 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 if 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

review the collection of information; and transmit or otherwise 
disclose the Information.
    Respondents/Affected Entities: Companies, institutions, non-
governmental organizations, and State/local governments that 
participate in the Green Power and Combined Heat and Power 
Partnerships.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 1,794.
    Frequency of Response: Annual, on occasion, once.
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 5,823.
    Estimated Total Annual Cost: $517,118, which includes $0 annualized 
Capital Startup costs, $5,466 annualized Operating and Maintenance 
(O&M) costs and $511,652 annualized Labor costs.
    Changes in Estimates: There is an increase of 1,824 hours in the 
total estimated burden currently identified in the OMB Inventory of 
Approved ICR Burdens. Since the last ICR renewal, both the Green Power 
Partnership and CHP Partnership have introduced program efficiencies to 
reduce program burden and simplified collection forms into pre-
