The OMB control numbers for EPA’s regulations in title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), after appearing in the Federal Register when approved, are listed in 40 CFR part 9, are 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 ICR was developed specifically for aerospace manufacturing and rework facilities and has been tailored to the processes at aerospace facilities. Respondents may use an electronic submission approach that will be less burdensome for both the facilities that must respond and for EPA personnel who must compile the responses. Respondents are asked to complete simple forms from available information and no request is made to create or develop emission estimates from information in the literature. Information is requested from approximately 1,000 aerospace manufacturing and rework facilities on general facility information, coatings and spray booth information, other process information (e.g., storage tanks, composite processing, etc.), emission control devices used at the facilities and their basic design and operating features, quantity of air emissions, pollution prevention programs at each facility, and information regarding startup and shutdown events. This information is necessary for EPA to adequately characterize residual risk at these facilities, to characterize emissions and control measures for operations not currently regulated, and to develop standards for new and existing aerospace facilities under section 112 of the Clean Air Act (CAA), if appropriate. The information will be collected from the electronic completion of simple forms, which will be compiled to develop a computer data base. The EPA is charged under section 112 of the CAA with developing national emission standards for 189 listed hazardous air pollutants (HAP). The Aerospace Manufacturing and Rework Facilities Maximum Achievable Control Technology (Aerospace MACT) standard (40 CFR 63, subpart GG), is a National Emission Standard for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) developed under the authority of section 112(d) of the CAA. EPA is required to review each MACT standard and to revise them ‘‘as necessary (taking into account developments in practices, processes and control technologies)’’ no less frequently than every eight years. VerDate Mar<15>2010 16:17 Jun 21, 2010 Jkt 220001 These reviews are commonly referred to as ‘‘technology reviews.’’ In addition, EPA is required to assess the risk remaining (residual risk) after each MACT standard and promulgate more stringent standards if they are necessary to protect public health. Under EPA’s residual risk and technology review (RTR) program, EPA is addressing these two requirements concurrently. EPA is updating the information they currently possess and filling identified data gaps in that information in order to provide a thorough basis for the RTR efforts. The data collection effort will gather additional information to allow comprehensive and technically sound analyses that will form the basis for future rulemaking decisions. Responses to the ICR are mandatory under the authority of section 114 of the CAA. Burden Statement: The one-time public reporting burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 30.75 hours for a small facility, 86.75 hours for a medium sized facility and 142.75 hours for a large sized facility 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. The ICR provides a detailed explanation of the Agency’s estimate, which is only briefly summarized here. Approximately 1,000 facilities are expected to respond to this ICR. Responses are required one time only; this is not a continuing collection. The total estimated public burden is 29,704 hours and $1,430,543. By facility, the burden is estimated to be $1,703 for a small sized facility, $4,804 for a medium sized facility and $7,906 for a large sized facility. These burden estimates are based on labor costs for technical, managerial and clerical staff. No capital or operation and maintenance costs are involved for responding to this ICR. PO 00000 Frm 00020 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 What is the next step in the process for this ICR? EPA will consider the comments received and amend the ICR as appropriate. The final ICR package will then be submitted to OMB for review and approval pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.12. At that time, EPA will issue another Federal Register notice pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.5(a)(1)(iv) to announce the submission of the ICR to OMB and the opportunity to submit additional comments to OMB. If you have any questions about this ICR or the approval process, please contact the technical person listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT. Dated: June 11, 2010.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Information About CADDIS Over a thousand water bodies in the United States are listed by states as PO 00000 Frm 00021 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 35457 biologically impaired. For many of these sites, the cause of impairment is reported as ‘‘unknown.’’ Before appropriate management actions can be formulated for impaired water bodies, the causes of biological impairment (e.g., excess fine sediments, nutrients, or toxics) must be identified. Effective causal analyses require knowledge of the mechanisms, symptoms, and stressor-response relationships for various stressors, as well as the ability to use that knowledge to draw appropriate, defensible conclusions. To aid in these causal analyses, NCEA developed CADDIS, which is a webbased decision support system that will help regional, state, and tribal investigators find, access, organize, and share information useful for causal evaluations in aquatic systems. CADDIS is based on EPA’s Stressor Identification process, which is a formal method for identifying causes of impairments in aquatic environments. Features include a step-by-step guide to conducting causal analysis; examples and applications; a library of conceptual models; and an online application for collaborating on conceptual diagrams and using them to update and access a database of supporting literature, information on basic and advanced data analyses, downloadable software tools, and links to outside information sources.
