ICR Numbers: EPA ICR No. 2213.03, OMB Control No. 2060–0597. 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 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: EPA is required under section 183(e) of the Clean Air Act to regulate Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) emissions from the use of consumer and commercial products. Under regulations promulgated on February 26, 2007 (72 FR 8428) manufacturers of new portable fuel containers are required to obtain certificates of conformity with the Clean Air Act, effective January 1, 2009. This ICR covers the burdens associated with this certification process. EPA reviews information submitted in the application for certification to determine if the container design conforms to applicable requirements and to verify that the required testing has been performed. The certificate holder is required to keep records on the testing, and to report successful VerDate Mar<15>2010 16:17 Jun 21, 2010 Jkt 220001 warranty claims annually. The respondent must also retain records on the units produced, apply serial numbers to individual containers, and track the serial numbers to their certificates of conformity. Any information submitted for which a claim of confidentiality is made is safeguarded according to EPA regulations at 40 CFR 2.201 et seq. Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 18 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: Importers (including Independent Commercial Importers) of light duty vehicles or engines, light duty trucks or engines, and highway motorcycles or engines. Estimated Number of Respondents: 10. Frequency of Response: Annual and on occasion. Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 213. Estimated Total Annual Cost: $20,439, including $10,519 annualized capital or O&M costs. Changes in the Estimates: The request lowers the hour burden by 425, from 638 to 213 and increases the O&M and capital cost request from $519 to $10,519. These changes largely result from reallocation of contracted testing costs from labor to O&M and adjustment of the reporting burden to reflect that the normal certificate term is five years rather than one, as assumed in the prior request.

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.

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. 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.

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.
