Dimethyldithiocarbamate Salts; Amendments to Terminate Uses, 20839-20840 [2010-8759]

Download as PDF erowe on DSK5CLS3C1PROD with NOTICES Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 76 / Wednesday, April 21, 2010 / Notices ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on June 30, 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 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 Provisions specified at 40 CFR part 63, subpart JJ. Owners or operators of the affected facilities must submit a onetime-only report of any physical or operational changes, initial performance tests, and periodic reports and results. Owners or operators are also required to 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 45 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: Wood furniture manufacturing operations. Estimated Number of Respondents: 750. VerDate Nov<24>2008 14:33 Apr 20, 2010 Jkt 220001 Frequency of Response: Initially, occasionally, quarterly, semiannually and annually. Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 47,189. Estimated Total Annual Cost: $4,456,012, which includes $4,438,012 in labor costs, $0 in capital/startup costs, and $18,000 in operation and maintenance (O&M) costs. Changes in the Estimates: There are no changes in the 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. It should be noted that there is an apparent decrease of one hour in the total labor hours for this ICR. Total labor hours for this ICR are 47,189 rather than 47,190 as in the previous ICR. This is due to rounding of the various cost figures. There is an increase in both respondent and Agency labor costs resulting from labor rate increases from 2003 to 2009. Dated: April 15, 2010.
