Title: Air Emission Standards for
Tanks, Surface Impoundments and
Containers (Renewal).
ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number
1593.08, OMB Control Number 2060–
0318.
ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to
expire on October 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: This ICR contains
recordkeeping and reporting
requirements that are mandatory for
compliance with 40 CFR part 264,
subpart CC, and 40 CFR part 265,
subpart CC. The Resource Conservation
and Recovery Act (RCRA) subpart CC
required control for minimizing release
of volatile organic air emissions from
tanks, surface impoundments, and
containers holding hazardous waste.
Records and reports are necessary in
order for the EPA to determine that the
standards are implemented and
maintained, and to protect human
health and the environment.
Organic air emissions from hazardous
treatment, storage and disposal facilities
(TSDFs) can contain toxic chemical
compounds. Cancer and other adverse
noncancerous human health effects can
result from exposure to these emissions.
Organic emissions from TSDFs react
photochemically with other compounds
in the atmosphere to form ground level
ozone. Excessive ambient ozone
concentrations are a major air quality
problem in many cities throughout the
United States. Nationwide organic
emissions from TSDFs are estimated to
be approximately one million
megagrams per year. These organic
E:\FR\FM\12AUN1.SGM
12AUN1
jlentini on DSKJ8SOYB1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 155 / Thursday, August 12, 2010 / Notices
emissions are estimated to result in 48
excess incidences of cancer per year
nationwide and a 3 × 10¥2 maximum
individual risk (MIR).
Information collected are needed by
the EPA to determine: (a) Whether a
hazardous waste contains sufficiently
low concentrations of volatile organics
to allow the waste to be managed in a
tank, surface impoundment, or
container without the use of emission
controls; and (b) for units requiring
emission controls, whether the controls
are being properly operated and
maintained. These notifications, reports,
and records are essential in determining
compliance with the applicable
standards. Semiannual reports of excess
emissions are also required.
Any owner or operator subject to the
provisions of this part shall maintain a
file of these measurements, and retain
the records for at least three years
following the date of such
measurements, maintenance reports,
and records. Performance tests reports
are required as this is the Agency’s
record of a source’s initial capability to
comply with the emission standard, and
they serve as a record of the operating
conditions under which compliance
was achieved.
All reports are sent to the delegated
state or local authority. In the event that
there is no such delegated authority, the
reports are sent directly to the EPA
regional office. This information is
being collected to assure compliance
with 40 CFR (part 264, subpart CC, and
part 265, subpart CC) as authorized in
sections 112 and 114(a) of the Clean Air
Act. The required information consists
of emissions data and other information
that have been determined to be private.
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
Number for EPA regulations, listed in 40
CFR part 9 and 48 CFR chapter 15, are
identified on the form and/or
instrument, if applicable.
Burden Statement: The annual public
reporting and recordkeeping burden for
this collection of information is
estimated to average 114 hours per
response. Burden means the total time,
effort, or financial resources expended
by persons to generate, maintain, retain,
or disclose, and 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. All existing

ways will have to adjust to comply with
any previously applicable instructions
and requirements that 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: Tanks,
surface impoundments and containers.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
6,209.
Frequency of Response: Occasionally,
annually, and semiannually.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:
711,400.
Estimated Total Annual Cost:
$80,708,869, which includes
$68,290,869 in labor costs, no capital/
startup costs, and $12,418,000 in
operation and maintenance (O&M)
costs.
Changes in the Estimates: There is no
change in the number of affected
facilities or the number of responses as
compared to the previous ICR.
There is however, a small decrease in
the estimated labor burden hours, as
currently identified in the OMB
Inventory of Approved Burdens. The
decrease is not due to any program
changes. The change in the labor burden
hours occurred because the previous
ICR rounded their calculations and this
renewal did not. There is an increase in
the cost estimates as compared to the
previous ICR. The change in the cost
estimates came about by the updated
labor rates, which resulted in an
increase in the labor costs.
