ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 1066.06, OMB Control Number 2060– 0032. ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on May 31, 2010. 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: The New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for Ammonium Sulfate Manufacturing Plants (40 CFR part 60, subpart PP), were proposed on February 4, 1980, and PO 00000 Frm 00031 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 17711 promulgated on November 12, 1980. 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 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 62 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: Ammonium sulfate manufacturing plants. Estimated Number of Respondents: 2. Frequency of Response: Initially, occasionally, and semiannually. Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 247. Estimated Total Annual Cost: $23,183 in labor costs exclusively. There are neither capital/startup costs nor operation and maintenance (O&M) costs. Changes in the Estimates: There is an apparent increase of one hour in the total labor hours for this ICR. Total labor hours for this ICR are 247 rather than 246 in the previous ICR, because the previous ICR did not round labor hours up to the nearest whole number. There is no change in the per-respondent labor hours 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 respondents is very low, negative or non-existent. Therefore, the labor hours in the previous ICR reflect the current burden to the respondents and are reiterated (with a correction for rounding) in this ICR. E:\FR\FM\07APN1.SGM 07APN1 17712 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 66 / Wednesday, April 7, 2010 / Notices There is an increase in both Respondent and Agency costs resulting from labor rate increases from 2003 to 2009. This ICR uses 2009 labor rates because burden and cost calculations in Tables 1 and 2 of this ICR were expanded to include managerial and clerical labor rates, and the previous ICR only provided a technical labor rate for 2003. This ICR is therefore updated to present the most recent available labor rates for each of the three labor categories. Dated: April 1, 2010. John Moses, Director, Collection Strategies Division.

ACTION: Notice. SUMMARY: This notice announces EPA’s order for the amendments to terminate uses, voluntarily requested by the registrants and accepted by the Agency, of uses of the products listed in Table 1, pursuant to section 6(f)(1) of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), as amended. This cancellation order follows a February 10, 2010 Federal Register Notice of Receipt of Requests from the registrants listed in Table 2 to voluntarily amend to terminate certain uses of these product registrations. These are not the last products containing these pesticides registered for use in the United States. In the February 10, 2010 Notice, EPA indicated that it would issue an order implementing the amendments to terminate uses, unless the Agency received substantive comments within the 30–day comment period that would merit its further review of these requests, or unless the registrants withdrew their requests within this period. The Agency received one comment on the notice, but this comment did not merit the Agency’s further review of the requests. Further, the registrants did not withdraw their requests. Accordingly, EPA hereby issues in this notice a cancellation order granting the requested amendments to terminate uses. Any distribution, sale, or use of the products subject to this cancellation order is permitted only in accordance with the terms of this order, including any existing stocks provisions. DATES: The cancellations are effective April 7, 2010.

    Title: NSPS for Ammonium Sulfate Manufacturing Plants (Renewal).
    ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 1066.06, OMB Control Number 2060-0032.
    ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on May 31, 2010. 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: The New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for Ammonium 
Sulfate Manufacturing Plants (40 CFR part 60, subpart PP), were 
proposed on February 4, 1980, and promulgated on November 12, 1980. 
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 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 62 
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: Ammonium sulfate manufacturing 
plants.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 2.
    Frequency of Response: Initially, occasionally, and semiannually.
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 247.
    Estimated Total Annual Cost: $23,183 in labor costs exclusively. 
There are neither capital/startup costs nor operation and maintenance 
(O&M) costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is an apparent increase of one hour 
in the total labor hours for this ICR. Total labor hours for this ICR 
are 247 rather than 246 in the previous ICR, because the previous ICR 
did not round labor hours up to the nearest whole number. There is no 
change in the per-respondent labor hours 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 
respondents is very low, negative or non-existent. Therefore, the labor 
hours in the previous ICR reflect the current burden to the respondents 
and are reiterated (with a correction for rounding) in this ICR.

[[Page 17712]]

    There is an increase in both Respondent and Agency costs resulting 
from labor rate increases from 2003 to 2009. This ICR uses 2009 labor 
rates because burden and cost calculations in Tables 1 and 2 of this 
ICR were expanded to include managerial and clerical labor rates, and 
the previous ICR only provided a technical labor rate for 2003. This 
ICR is therefore updated to present the most recent available labor 
rates for each of the three labor categories.
