Title: NSPS for Electric Utility Steam
Generating Units (Renewal).
ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number
1053.10, OMB Control Number 2060–
0023.
ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled 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 the EPA
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
NESHAP at 40 CFR part 60, subpart A,
and any changes, or additions to the
Provisions specified at 40 CFR part 60,
subpart Da. 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 96 hours per
response. Burden means the total time,
effort, or financial resources expended
by persons to generate, maintain, retain,
PO 00000

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:
Owners or operators of electric utility
steam generating units.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
677.
Frequency of Response: Initially,
quarterly and semiannually.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:
160,839.
Estimated Total Annual Cost:
$27,445,813, which includes
$15,090,813 in labor costs, $2,200,000
in capital/startup costs, and $10,155,000
in operation and maintenance (O&M)
costs.
Changes in the Estimates: There are
no changes in either the labor hours or
in the capital/startup and operation and
maintenance costs in this 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 industry is
very low, negative, or non-existent.
The increase in labor cost to both
Respondents and the Agency is due to
labor rate adjustments that reflect the
most recent available estimates.

Title: NSPS for Rubber Tire
Manufacturing (Renewal).
ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number
1158.10, OMB Control Number 2060–
0156.
ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled 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 New Source
Performance Standards (NSPS) for
Rubber Tire Manufacturing (40 CFR part
60, subpart BBB) were proposed on
January 20, 1983, and promulgated on
September 15, 1987. Minor revisions to
the standards of performance for the
rubber tire manufacturing industry were
proposed on February 14, 1989, and
promulgated on September 19, 1989.
The affected facilities include: Each
undertread cementing operations,
sidewall cementing operations, tread
end cementing operations, bead
cementing operations, green tire
spraying operations, Michelin-A
operations, Michelin-B operations, and
Michelin-C automatic operations, that
PO 00000

Sfmt 4703
commencing construction, modification
or reconstruction after January 20, 1983.
The rule established standards for
volatile organic compounds (VOCs) use
and emission limits.
In general, all NSPS standards require
initial notifications, performance tests,
and periodic reports. This standard
required performance test of Method 25
and an annual report of Method 23
results to verify VOC content of waterbased sprays. 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. Monitoring
requirements specific to rubber tire
manufacturing plants provide
information on the operation of the
emissions control device and
compliance with the VOCs standards.
Semiannual reports of excess emissions
are required. These notifications,
reports, and records are essential in
determining compliance, and are
required of all sources subject to NSPS.
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 60, subpart BBB, 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
Numbers for EPA 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 are
estimated to average 166 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:
Rubber tire manufacturing.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
41.
Frequency of Response: Initially,
annually, and semiannually.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:
13,323.
Estimated Total Annual Cost:
$1,266,476, which includes $1,250,076
in labor costs, no capital/startup costs,
and $16,400 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. There is also an increase of
$400.00 to the operation and
maintenance (O&M) costs.

The Regional Administrator

requirements of ARRA Section 1605
under the authority of Section

1605(b)(1) [inconsistent with the public
interest] to the City for the utilization
and installation of one (1) Slide Gate in
the influent control structure and two
(2) Stop Logs/Guides sets in access
manholes as part of an overall
Combined Sewage Overflow (CSO)
control project. This is a project specific
waiver and only applies to the use of the
specified product for the ARRA project
being proposed. Any other ARRA
recipient that wishes to use the same
product must apply for a separate
waiver based on project specific
circumstances. The City had the
contractual obligation of the contractor
and written verification from the
manufacturer that the Slide Gate and
Stop Logs/Guides would comply with
Buy American requirements and be
produced in a U.S. facility. However,
the contractor observed that the Slide
Gate and Stop Logs/Guides delivered to
the site for installation had ‘‘Made in
Canada’’ labeling. The contractor
confirmed with the manufacturer that
goods were actually manufactured in
Canada, not in the U.S., and shipped to
the project site in error. Due to
contractual requirements, the contractor
and manufacturer will absorb the costs
of the Slide Gate and Stop Logs/Guides.
Re-ordering the Slide Gate and Stop
Logs/Guides and having them
manufactured in a U.S. facility would
delay project completion by at least nine
to ten weeks. Of significant note, the
City has a contractual obligation to the
Oregon Department of Environmental
Quality (DEQ) to begin project testing
and start up by December 1, 2010 in
order for the completed project to
properly control CSOs and provide
water quality protection during the
typical wet weather associated with
December and January, when CSOs are
highest. Based upon information
submitted by the City, EPA has
concluded that requiring the installation
of the domestic manufactured Slide
Gate and Stop Logs/Guides, which
would extend the project schedule by at
least nine to ten weeks, would be
inconsistent with the public interest,
and that a waiver of the Buy American
provisions is justified. The Regional
Administrator is making this
determination based on the review and
recommendations of the Grants and
Strategic Planning Unit. The Assistant
Administrator of the Office of
Administration and Resources
Management has concurred on this
decision to make an exception to the
requirements of Section 1605(a) of
ARRA. This action allows the
installation of the foreign manufactured
Slide Gate and Stop Logs/Guides, as

In general, all NSPS standards require initial notifications,
performance tests, and periodic reports. This standard required
performance test of Method 25 and an annual report of Method 23 results
to verify VOC content of water-based sprays. 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. Monitoring requirements specific to rubber tire
manufacturing plants provide information on the operation of the
emissions control device and compliance with the VOCs standards.
Semiannual reports of excess emissions are required. These
notifications, reports, and records are essential in determining
compliance, and are required of all sources subject to NSPS.
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 60, subpart BBB, 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 Numbers for EPA
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 are estimated to average 166
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
[[Page 77869]]
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: Rubber tire manufacturing.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 41.
Frequency of Response: Initially, annually, and semiannually.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 13,323.
Estimated Total Annual Cost: $1,266,476, which includes $1,250,076
in labor costs, no capital/startup costs, and $16,400 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. There is also an increase
of $400.00 to the operation and maintenance (O&M) costs.
