ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 1056.10, OMB Control Number 2060– 0019. 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: 40 CFR part 60, subpart G, applies to owners and operators of nitric acid plants which commenced construction, modification or reconstruction after August 17, 1971. Owners/operators are required to make the following one-time-only reports; notification of the dates of construction or reconstruction; notification of actual dates of startup, notification of any physical or operational change to an existing facility which may increase the pollutant emission rate; notification of demonstration of the continuous monitoring system (CMS); notification of the date of the initial performance test; and the results of the initial performance test. Semiannual reports are also required. These notifications reports and records are required in general of all sources subject to New Source Performance Standards (NSPS). Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 25 hours per response. Burden means the total time, effort, or financial resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, E:\FR\FM\13APN1.SGM 13APN1 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 70 / Tuesday, April 13, 2010 / Notices 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 action are the owners or operators of nitric acid plants. Estimated Number of Respondents: 24. Frequency of Response: Initially, occasionally, and semiannually. Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 1,291. Estimated Total Annual Cost: $2,549,639, which includes $81,639 in labor costs, $68,000 in capital/startup costs, and $2,400,000 in operation and maintenance (O&M) costs. Changes in the Estimates: There is no change in the labor 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 the industry is very low, negative or non-existent. Therefore, the cost figures in the previous ICR reflect the current burden to the respondents and are reiterated in this ICR. Note that there is an increase of one hour in the total labor hours to the respondents due to rounding-up. Dated: April 7, 2010. John Moses, Director, Collection Strategies Division.

    Title: NSPS for Nitric Acid Plants (Renewal).
    ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 1056.10, OMB Control Number 2060-0019.
    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: 40 CFR part 60, subpart G, applies to owners and 
operators of nitric acid plants which commenced construction, 
modification or reconstruction after August 17, 1971. Owners/operators 
are required to make the following one-time-only reports; notification 
of the dates of construction or reconstruction; notification of actual 
dates of startup, notification of any physical or operational change to 
an existing facility which may increase the pollutant emission rate; 
notification of demonstration of the continuous monitoring system 
(CMS); notification of the date of the initial performance test; and 
the results of the initial performance test. Semiannual reports are 
also required. These notifications reports and records are required in 
general of all sources subject to New Source Performance Standards 
(NSPS).
    Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping 
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 25 
hours per response. Burden means the total time, effort, or financial 
resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain,

[[Page 18831]]

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 action are the owners or operators of nitric acid plants.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 24.
    Frequency of Response: Initially, occasionally, and semiannually.
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 1,291.
    Estimated Total Annual Cost: $2,549,639, which includes $81,639 in 
labor costs, $68,000 in capital/startup costs, and $2,400,000 in 
operation and maintenance (O&M) costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is no change in the labor 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 the industry is very low, negative 
or non-existent. Therefore, the cost figures in the previous ICR 
reflect the current burden to the respondents and are reiterated in 
this ICR. Note that there is an increase of one hour in the total labor 
hours to the respondents due to rounding-up.
