Download as PDF pwalker on DSK8KYBLC1PROD with NOTICES Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 151 / Friday, August 7, 2009 / Notices is no such delegated authority, the reports are sent directly to the EPA regional office. Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 160 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: Mercury. Estimated Number of Respondents: 107. Frequency of Response: Initially, annually and semiannually. Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 20,490. Estimated Total Annual Cost: $1,735,421 in labor costs exclusively. There are no capital/startup or O&M costs associated with this ICR. 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: (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 nonexistent, so there is no significant change in the overall burden. 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.

ACTION: Notice. SUMMARY: Notice of Availability and request for public comment on a draft Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) to designate a permanent ocean dredged material disposal site (ODMDS) off Apra Harbor, Guam. EPA has the authority to designate ODMDS under Section 102 of the Marine Protection, Research and Sanctuaries Act (MPRSA) of 1972 (33 U.S.C. 1401 et seq.). The U.S. Department of Navy, as a cooperating agency for this action, received Congressional appropriations to fund this site designation, and managed contracts for field studies identified by EPA for the preparation of the draft EIS. DATES: Public comments on this draft EIS evaluation will be accepted until October 6, 2009. ADDRESSES: Submit comments to: Mr. Allan Ota, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region 9, Dredging and Sediment Management Team (WTR–8), 75 Hawthorne Street, San Francisco, California 94105–3901, PO 00000 Frm 00094 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Telephone: (415) 972–3476 or Fax: (415) 947–3537, or E-mail: ota.allan@epa.gov. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. Allan Ota, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region 9, Dredging and Sediment Management Team (WTR–8), 75 Hawthorne Street, San Francisco, California 94105–3901, Telephone: (415) 972–3476 or Fax: (415) 947–3537, or E-mail: ota.allan@epa.gov. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: EPA requests public comments and intends to conduct a public meeting in Guam to collect comments on the draft EIS, titled ‘‘Designation of an Ocean Dredged Material Disposal Site Offshore of Guam’’. Copies of this draft EIS may be viewed at the following locations: 1. Guam EPA’s Main Office, 17–3304 Mariner Avenue, Tiyan, Guam 96913. 2. Nieves M.

U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ Web site: https:// www.poh.usace.army.mil. Background: Dredging is essential for maintaining safe navigation at port and naval facilities in Apra Harbor and other locations around Guam. Not all dredged materials are suitable for beneficial reuse (e.g., construction materials, landfill cover), and not all suitable materials can be used or can be stockpiled for future use given costs, logistical constraints, and capacity of existing land disposal sites. Therefore, there is a need to designate a permanent ODMDS offshore of Guam. No actual disposal operations are authorized by this action; and disposal can only take place after a Federal Corps permit is secured. Before ocean disposal may take place, dredging projects must demonstrate a need for ocean disposal and the proposed dredged material must be suitable (nontoxic) according to USEPA ocean dumping criteria.
