Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 113 / Monday, June 15, 2009 / Notices
Asphalt Roofing Manufacturing (40 CFR
part 63, subpart LLLLL) were proposed
on January 10, 1989 and promulgated on
November 20, 1990.
The affected entities are subject to the
General Provisions of the NESHAP at 40
CFR part 63, subpart A, and any
changes, or additions to the General
Provisions specified at 40 CFR part 63,
subpart LLLLL.
Owners or operators of the affected
facilities must submit a one-time-only of
any physical or operational changes,
initial performance tests, and periodic
reports and results. 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. Reports, at a
minimum, are required semiannually.
Burden Statement: The annual public
reporting and recordkeeping burden for
this collection of information is
estimated to average 223 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:
Asphalt processing and asphalt roofing
production facilities.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
24.
Frequency of Response: Initially,
occasionally and semiannually.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:
12,017.

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

Abstract: The National Emission
Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants
(NESHAP) for Benzene Waste
Operations, 40 CFR part 61, subpart FF,
were proposed on September 14, 1989
and promulgated on March 7, 1990.
These regulations apply to facilities
that generate waste containing Benzene,
such as chemical manufacturing plants,
coke by-product recovery plants,
petroleum refineries, and those owners
and operators of hazardous waste
treatment, storage, and disposal
facilities (TSDF) which receive wastes
from the above facilities, commencing
construction, modification or
reconstruction after the date of the
proposal. This information is being
collected to assure compliance with 40
CFR part 61, subpart FF.
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 quarterly
or semiannual reports, as applicable.
They also are required to maintain
records of applicability determinations;
performance test results; exceedances;
periods of startup, shutdown, or
malfunction (SSM); monitoring records
and all other information needed to
determine compliance with the
applicable standards.
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.
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 are
estimated to average 71 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:
Benzene waste operations.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
270.
Frequency of Response: On occasion,
initially, quarterly and semiannually.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:
19,148.
Estimated Total Annual Cost:
$1,738,751 in Labor costs exclusively.
There are neither capital/startup nor
operation and maintenance (O&M) costs
associated with this ICR.
Changes in the Estimates: There is an
adjustment 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 number of
sources from 234 to 270 was due to a
thorough research of the industry and
the data obtained from the trade
associations and environmental
consultant, which resulted in a more
accurate count of the affected facilities.
This increase was not due to new or
reconstructed facilities. This ICR also
reflects the most recent hourly labor
rates which take into account the
managerial, technical and clerical
burdens as compared to the previous
ICR.

Abstract: Section 126(f) of the
Superfund Amendments and
Reauthorization Act of 1986 (SARA)
requires EPA to set worker protection
standards for State and local employees
engaged in hazardous waste operations
and emergency response in the 27 States
that do not have Occupational Safety
and Health Administration approved
State plans. The EPA coverage, required
to be identical to the OSHA standards,
extends to three categories of
employees: those engaged in clean-ups
at uncontrolled hazardous waste sites,
including corrective actions at
Treatment, Storage and Disposal (TSD)
facilities regulated under the Resource
Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA);
employees working at routine hazardous
waste operations at RCRA TSD facilities,
and employees involved in emergency
response operations without regard to
location. This ICR renews existing
mandatory record keeping collection of
ongoing activities including monitoring
of any potential employee exposure at
uncontrolled hazardous waste sites,
maintaining records of employee
training, refresher training, medical
exams and reviewing emergency
response plans.
Burden Statement: The annual public
reporting and recordkeeping burden for
this collection of information is
estimated to average 12 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: State
and local governments in the 27 States
and 2 territories that do not have OSHAapproved plans under section 18(b) of
the OSH Act.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
25,052.
Frequency of Response: Once,
Annually, On Occasion.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:
311,680.

Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air
Pollutants (NESHAP) for Benzene Waste Operations, 40 CFR part 61,
subpart FF, were proposed on September 14, 1989 and promulgated on
March 7, 1990.
These regulations apply to facilities that generate waste
containing Benzene, such as chemical manufacturing plants, coke by-
product recovery plants, petroleum refineries, and those owners and
operators of hazardous waste treatment, storage, and disposal
facilities (TSDF) which receive wastes from the above facilities,
commencing construction, modification or reconstruction after the date
of the proposal. This information is being collected to assure
compliance with 40 CFR part 61, subpart FF.
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 quarterly or
semiannual reports, as applicable. They also are required to maintain
records of applicability determinations; performance test results;
exceedances; periods of startup, shutdown, or malfunction (SSM);
monitoring records and all other information needed to determine
compliance with the applicable standards.
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.
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 are estimated to average 71
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: Benzene waste operations.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 270.
Frequency of Response: On occasion, initially, quarterly and
semiannually.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 19,148.
Estimated Total Annual Cost: $1,738,751 in Labor costs exclusively.
There are neither capital/startup nor operation and maintenance (O&M)
costs associated with this ICR.
Changes in the Estimates: There is an adjustment 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 number of sources from 234 to 270 was due to a thorough
research of the industry and the data obtained from the trade
associations and environmental consultant, which resulted in a more
accurate count of the affected facilities. This increase was not due to
new or reconstructed facilities. This ICR also reflects the most recent
hourly labor rates which take into account the managerial, technical
and clerical burdens as compared to the previous ICR.
