generally conducted by the states, who
enforce FIFRA regulations through
cooperative agreements with EPA.
Burden Statement: The annual public
reporting and recordkeeping burden for
this collection of information is
estimated to average 7.4 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:
Entities potentially affected by this ICR
include pesticide registrants and
businesses who formulate pesticide
products or pesticide formulation
intermediates (NAICS code 325320),
farm supply wholesalers (NAICS code
422910), swimming pool applicators
(classified under NAICS codes 561790,
453998, and 235990), and agricultural
(aerial and ground) commercial
applicators (classified under NAICS
code 115112).
Estimated Number of Respondents:
23,586. This includes 1,804 registrant
facilities, 16,795 agricultural pesticide
refillers, 322 swimming pool supply
companies, and 4,665 facilities
requiring secondary containment.
Frequency of Response: On occasion.
There is no regular reporting involved.
This ICR only involves recordkeeping
requirements.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:
174,550.5 hours. This includes 139,563
hours for container design and residue
removal requirements and 34,987.5
hours for containment structure
requirements.
Estimated Total Annual Cost:
$6,124,953. This includes $4,902,723 for
container design and residue removal
requirements and $1,222,230 for
containment structure requirements.
Changes in the Estimates: The
renewal of this ICR will result in an
overall increase of 122,493.5 hours in
the total estimated respondent burden
identified in the currently approved
ICR. When the information collection
associated with this ICR was approved
VerDate Nov<24>2008
17:36 Nov 24, 2009
Jkt 220001
in 2006, the burden hours were adjusted
to reflect only the burden associated
with initial rule familiarization and
state requests to use their containment
regulations in lieu of Federal
regulations—a total of 52,057 hours.
These were the only burdens that were
imposed by the pesticide container and
containment regulations during the
course of that approval. EPA was
instructed to revise the estimates, upon
resubmission, to reflect the burden
imposed in 2009 and beyond because of
compliance with the requirements.

Clean Air Act Operating Permit
Program; Petition for Objection to
State Operating Permit for BP
Products North America, Inc., Whiting
Business Unit
AGENCY: Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice of final order on petition
to object to Clean Air Act (Act)
operating permit.
SUMMARY: This document announces
that the Administrator of EPA has
responded to a petition submitted by the
Environmental Law and Policy Center,
Hoosier Environmental Council, Natural
Resources Defense Council, Save the
Dunes, Sierra Club, Susan Eleuterio, and
Tom Tsourlis (petitioners) asking EPA
to object to an operating permit issued
by the Indiana Department of
Environmental Management to the BP
Products North America, Inc., Whiting
Business Unit (Whiting). The
Administrator granted the petition in
part and denied it in part.
Pursuant to section 505(b)(2) of the
Act, a petitioner may seek in the United
States Court of Appeals for the
appropriate circuit judicial review of
those portions of a petition which EPA
denied. Any petition for review shall be
filed within 60 days from the date this
notice appears in the Federal Register,
pursuant to section 307 of the Act.
ADDRESSES: You may review copies of
the final order, the petition, and other
supporting information at the EPA
Region 5 Office, 77 West Jackson
Boulevard, Chicago, Illinois 60604. If
you wish to examine these documents,

you should make an appointment at
least 24 hours before visiting the EPA
office. Additionally, the final order for
the Whiting petition is available
electronically at: https://www.epa.gov/

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
Pamela Blakley, Chief, Air Permits
Section, Air Programs Branch, Air and
Radiation Division, EPA, Region 5, 77
West Jackson Boulevard, Chicago,
Illinois 60604, telephone (312) 886–
4447.
The Act
affords EPA a 45-day period to review,
and object, as appropriate, to operating
permits proposed by State permitting
authorities. Section 505(b)(2) of the Act
authorizes any person to petition the
EPA Administrator within 60 days after
the expiration of the EPA review period
to object to a State operating permit if
EPA has not done so. A petition must
be based only on objections to the
permit that were raised with reasonable
specificity during the public comment
period provided by the State, unless the
petitioner demonstrates that it was
impracticable to raise issues during the
comment period, or the grounds for the
issues arose after this period.
On August 19, 2008, EPA received a
petition requesting that EPA object to
the Title V operating permit for Whiting.
The Petitioners allege that the permit is
not in compliance with the
requirements of the Act.
Specifically, the Petitioners allege
that: (1) The permit application lacks
emission information and calculations
critical for determining applicable
requirements and setting appropriate
limits and conditions; (2) the minor
source permit fails to comply with New
Source Review requirements because
the project is a major modification when
all project emissions are properly
included; (3) the permit does not
include applicable Best Available
Control Technology and Lowest
Achievable Emission Rate limits for
flares and other sources; (4) BP and
IDEM failed to conduct the proper
greenhouse gas Best Achievable Control
Technology analysis; and (5) the permit
omits compliance schedules that Title V
requires to ensure compliance with all
applicable requirements, as supported
by the Notice of Violation issued by
EPA to BP for its Whiting refinery.
On October 16, 2009, the
Administrator issued an order granting
the Whiting petition in part and denying
it in part. The order explains the reasons
behind EPA’s conclusions.
