estimated to average 7.55 hours per
response for states and water system
respondents combined. However, nearly
all of the responses from water systems
will occur in the single year of 2011.
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:
Respondents/Affected Entities: Private
and Public Water Systems, States,
Tribes.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
3,176.
Frequency of Response: Once.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:
16,332 hours.
Estimated Total Annual Cost:
$615,842. This cost is exclusively for
labor as there are no capital investment
or operations and maintenance costs.
Changes in the Estimates: There is no
currently approved burden as this ICR
was previously discontinued during the
gap between the three-year ICR cycle
and the four-year Needs Survey cycle.
The 2011 survey requests 988 more
hours of burden annually than the 2007
survey due to higher observed response
rates, survey modifications and an
increased number of tribes participating
in the survey.

Title: NESHAP for Beryllium
(Renewal).
ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number
0193.10, OMB Control Number 2060–
0092.
ICR Status: This ICR is schedule to
expire on January 31, 2011. 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 National Emission
Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants
(NESHAP) for Beryllium, 40 CFR, part
61, subpart C, were proposed on
E:\FR\FM\10DEN1.SGM
10DEN1
mstockstill on DSKH9S0YB1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 237 / Friday, December 10, 2010 / Notices
December 7, 1971 (36 FR 23939), and
promulgated on April 6, 1973 (38 FR
8826). This standard applies to all
extraction plants, ceramic plants,
foundries, incinerators, and propellant
plants which process beryllium ore,
beryllium, beryllium oxide, beryllium
alloys, or beryllium-containing waste.
The standard also applies to machine
shops which process beryllium,
beryllium oxides, or any alloy when
such alloy contains more than five
percent beryllium by weight. All
sources known to have caused, or have
the potential to cause, dangerous levels
of beryllium in the ambient air are
covered by the Beryllium NESHAP. This
information is being collected to ensure
compliance with 40 CFR part 61,
subpart C.
There are approximately 236 existing
sources subject to this rule. Of the total
number of existing sources, we have
assumed that approximately 10 sources
(i.e., respondents) have elected to
comply with an alternative ambient air
quality limit by operating a continuous
monitor in the vicinity of the affected
facility. The monitoring requirements
for these facilities provide information
on ambient air quality and ensure that
locally, the airborne beryllium
concentration does not exceed 0.01
micrograms/m3. The sources that are
meeting the rule requirements by means
of ambient monitoring are required to
submit a monthly report of all measured
concentrations to the administrator. The
remaining 226 sources have elected to
comply with the rule by conducting a
one-time-only stack test to determine
beryllium emissions levels. We have
assumed that 10 percent of the 226
sources (or 23 respondents) complying
with the emission limit standard will
engage in an operational change at their
facilities that could potentially increase
beryllium emissions, and would be
required to repeat the stack test to
determine the beryllium emission
limits. Consequently, these sources will
have recordkeeping and reporting
requirements associated with the stack
test. We have assumed that no
additional sources are expected to
become subject to the standard in the
next three years. Therefore, there are 33
respondents for the purpose of
determining the recordkeeping and
reporting burden associated with this
rule.
Any owner or operator subject to the
provisions of this part shall maintain a
file of these measurements, and retain
the file for at least five years following
the date of such measurements,
maintenance reports, and records. All
reports are sent to the delegated state or
local authority. In the event that there
VerDate Mar<15>2010

Jkt 223001
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 61, subpart C, as
authorized in section 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’s regulations are list in
40 CFR part 9 and 48 CFR chapter 15,
and 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 16 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 purpose
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:
Beryllium.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
33.
Frequency of Response: Monthly, and
on occasion.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:
2,627.
Estimated Total Annual Cost:
$281,442, which includes $246,442 in
labor costs, zero capital/startup costs,
and $35,000 in operation and
maintenance (O&M) costs.
Changes in the Estimates: There is no
increase in the number of affected
facilities, labor hours, or the number of
responses compared to the previous
ICR. There is, however, an increase in
the estimated labor burden cost as
currently identified in the OMB
Inventory of Approved Burdens. This
increase is not due to any program
change. The change in the labor burden
cost estimates has occurred because we

Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air
Pollutants (NESHAP) for Beryllium, 40 CFR, part 61, subpart C, were
proposed on
[[Page 76981]]
December 7, 1971 (36 FR 23939), and promulgated on April 6, 1973 (38 FR
8826). This standard applies to all extraction plants, ceramic plants,
foundries, incinerators, and propellant plants which process beryllium
ore, beryllium, beryllium oxide, beryllium alloys, or beryllium-
containing waste. The standard also applies to machine shops which
process beryllium, beryllium oxides, or any alloy when such alloy
contains more than five percent beryllium by weight. All sources known
to have caused, or have the potential to cause, dangerous levels of
beryllium in the ambient air are covered by the Beryllium NESHAP. This
information is being collected to ensure compliance with 40 CFR part
61, subpart C.
There are approximately 236 existing sources subject to this rule.
Of the total number of existing sources, we have assumed that
approximately 10 sources (i.e., respondents) have elected to comply
with an alternative ambient air quality limit by operating a continuous
monitor in the vicinity of the affected facility. The monitoring
requirements for these facilities provide information on ambient air
quality and ensure that locally, the airborne beryllium concentration
does not exceed 0.01 micrograms/m\3\. The sources that are meeting the
rule requirements by means of ambient monitoring are required to submit
a monthly report of all measured concentrations to the administrator.
The remaining 226 sources have elected to comply with the rule by
conducting a one-time-only stack test to determine beryllium emissions
levels. We have assumed that 10 percent of the 226 sources (or 23
respondents) complying with the emission limit standard will engage in
an operational change at their facilities that could potentially
increase beryllium emissions, and would be required to repeat the stack
test to determine the beryllium emission limits. Consequently, these
sources will have recordkeeping and reporting requirements associated
with the stack test. We have assumed that no additional sources are
expected to become subject to the standard in the next three years.
Therefore, there are 33 respondents for the purpose of determining the
recordkeeping and reporting burden associated with this rule.
Any owner or operator subject to the provisions of this part shall
maintain a file of these measurements, and retain the file for at least
five years following the date of such measurements, maintenance
reports, and records. 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 61, subpart C, as authorized in section 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's
regulations are list in 40 CFR part 9 and 48 CFR chapter 15, and 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 16
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 purpose 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: Beryllium.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 33.
Frequency of Response: Monthly, and on occasion.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 2,627.
Estimated Total Annual Cost: $281,442, which includes $246,442 in
labor costs, zero capital/startup costs, and $35,000 in operation and
maintenance (O&M) costs.
Changes in the Estimates: There is no increase in the number of
affected facilities, labor hours, or the number of responses compared
to the previous ICR. There is, however, an increase in the estimated
labor burden cost as currently identified in the OMB Inventory of
Approved Burdens. This increase is not due to any program change. The
change in the labor burden cost estimates has occurred because we
updated the labor rates, which resulted in an increase in labor costs.
