ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 1156.11, OMB Control Number 2060– 0059. ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on October 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: This subpart applies to affected facilities at synthetic fiber production facilities including each solvent-spun synthetic process that produces more than 500 megagrams of fiber per year. The affected entities are subject to the General Provisions of the NSPS at 40 CFR part 60, subpart A and any changes, or additions to the General Provisions specified at 40 CFR part 60, subpart HHH. Owners or operators of the affected facilities must make an initial notification, performance tests, periodic reports, and 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 E:\FR\FM\21OCN1.SGM 21OCN1 54040 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 202 / Wednesday, October 21, 2009 / Notices jlentini on DSKJ8SOYB1PROD with NOTICES 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 34 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: Synthetic fiber production facilities. Estimated Number of Respondents: 22. Frequency of Response: Initially, occasionally, quarterly, and semiannually. Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 1,859. Estimated Total Annual Cost: $315,119, which includes $150,119 in labor costs, no annualized capital/ startup costs and operation and maintenance (O&M) costs of $165,000. Changes in the Estimates: There is no change in the labor hours or cost to the respondents 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 respondents is very low, negative, or non-existent. Therefore, the labor hours and cost figures in the previous ICR reflect the current burden to the respondents and are reiterated in this ICR. Dated: October 13, 2009.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Integrated Risk Information System (IRIS) Update Project; Announcement of 2009/2010 Agenda AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency. ACTION: Notice of 2009/2010 IRIS Update Project and request for information. SUMMARY: The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is announcing the establishment of the Integrated Risk Information System (IRIS) Update Project. The purpose of the IRIS Update Project is to revisit a portion of the doseresponse assessment values with a posting date on the IRIS database that is more than 10 years old. IRIS is an EPA data base containing human health risk information on possible adverse health effects that may result from chronic or long-term exposures to chemical substances found in the environment. This Federal Register notice (FRN) also announces the IRIS Update Project’s 2009/2010 agenda and requests submission of new and relevant scientific information on health effects for the identified assessments listed in the Project’s 2009/2010 agenda. While EPA is not expressly soliciting comments on this notice, the Agency will accept information related to the substances included herein. Please submit any information in accordance with the instructions provided below. DATES: Information must be submitted within 60 days of the publication of this notice. The 60-day period begins October 21, 2009 and ends December 21, 2009. Technical comments should be in writing and must be received by EPA by December 21, 2009. ADDRESSES: Comments may be submitted electronically via https:// www.regulations.gov, by mail, by facsimile, or by hand delivery/courier. Please follow the detailed instructions provided in the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section of this notice. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For information on the public comment period, contact the Office of Environmental Information Docket; telephone: 202–566–1752; facsimile: 202–566–1753; or e-mail: ORD.Docket@epa.gov. For information on the IRIS Update project, contact Dr. Chon Shoaf, National Center for Environmental Assessment, (mail code: B243–01), Office of Research and Development, U.S. Environmental PO 00000 Frm 00023 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Background The intent of the IRIS Update Project is to revisit all dose-response assessment toxicity values such as oral reference doses (RfDs), inhalation reference concentrations (RfCs), cancer oral slope factors, and cancer inhalation unit risks in IRIS with a posting or entry date more than 10 years old. IRIS is a database of human health effects that may result from chronic exposure to various chemical substances or other contaminants found in the environment. IRIS currently provides information on health effects associated with more than 500 chemical substances. The database includes substance-specific summaries of qualitative and quantitative health information in support of the first two steps of the risk assessment process, i.e., hazard identification and dose-response evaluation. Also, IRIS has included detailed Toxicological Reviews as support documents since 1995. Government and private entities use IRIS, combined with specific exposure information, to help characterize public health risks of chemical substances in a site-specific situation and thereby support risk management decisions designed to protect public health. IRIS is prepared and maintained by the EPA’s National Center for Environmental Assessment within the Office of Research and Development. While separate from the regular IRIS program, the IRIS Update Project draws on the IRIS data base as the source of human health assessments in need of update. The purpose of the IRIS Update Project is to replace existing IRIS assessment toxicity values and their supporting information that are more than 10 years old with new and relevant scientific information on health effects. As updated assessments are completed as part of this process, they will be posted on IRIS. The IRIS Update Project defines ‘‘assessment’’ as an individual IRIS toxicity value along with its supporting information. For example, the Project identifies the values for an oral RfD, an inhalation RfC, and a cancer evaluation along with supporting information, as three assessments. Certain IRIS entries, however, may contain values that do not qualify for the update process. For example, a particular substance with an oral RfD derived 15 years ago would qualify for the update process, but a E:\FR\FM\21OCN1.SGM 21OCN1

    ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 1156.11, OMB Control Number 2060-0059.
    ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on October 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: This subpart applies to affected facilities at synthetic 
fiber production facilities including each solvent-spun synthetic 
process that produces more than 500 megagrams of fiber per year. The 
affected entities are subject to the General Provisions of the NSPS at 
40 CFR part 60, subpart A and any changes, or additions to the General 
Provisions specified at 40 CFR part 60, subpart HHH. Owners or 
operators of the affected facilities must make an initial notification,

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 34 
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: Synthetic fiber production 
facilities.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 22.
    Frequency of Response: Initially, occasionally, quarterly, and 
semiannually.
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 1,859.
    Estimated Total Annual Cost: $315,119, which includes $150,119 in 
labor costs, no annualized capital/startup costs and operation and 
maintenance (O&M) costs of $165,000.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is no change in the labor hours or 
cost to the respondents 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 respondents is very 
low, negative, or non-existent. Therefore, the labor hours and cost 
figures in the previous ICR reflect the current burden to the 
respondents and are reiterated in this ICR.
