Download as PDF mstockstill on DSKH9S0YB1PROD with NOTICES Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 35 / Tuesday, February 22, 2011 / Notices and size ranges included in the advisory, the chemical contaminants and residue levels causing the advisory to be issued, the waterbody type (river, lake, estuary, coastal waters), and the target populations to whom the advisory is directed. This information is collected under the authority of section 104 of the Clean Water Act, which provides for the collection of information to be used to protect human health and the environment. The results of the survey are shared with states, territories, tribes, other federal agencies, and the general public through the NLFA database and the distribution of biennial fish advisory fact sheets. The responses to the survey are voluntary and the information requested is part of the state public record associated with the advisories. No confidential business information is requested. Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average approximately 36 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: State, territorial and tribal health departments and environmental protection agencies. Estimated Number of Respondents: 92. Frequency of Response: Annual. Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 3,336. Estimated Total Annual Cost: $125,697, includes $125,177 labor and $520 annualized O&M costs. No capital or startup costs are required. Changes in the Estimates: There is a decrease of 229 hours in the total estimated burden currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR Burdens. This decrease reflects a change in how the States, Tribes and territories provide the fish advisory data to EPA. The data tool is no longer being used by States to enter data into the NLFA database.

Title: The Consolidated Air Rule (CAR) for the Synthetic Organic Chemical Manufacturing Industry (SOCMI) (Renewal). ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 1854.07, OMB Control Number 2060– 0443. ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on February 28, 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 E:\FR\FM\22FEN1.SGM 22FEN1 mstockstill on DSKH9S0YB1PROD with NOTICES 9776 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 35 / Tuesday, February 22, 2011 / Notices form, if applicable. The display of OMB control numbers in certain EPA regulations is consolidated in 40 CFR part 9. Abstract: The Synthetic Organic Chemical Manufacturing Industry (SOCMI) is regulated by the New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) and National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP). The affected entities are subject to the General Provisions of the NSPS at 40 CFR part 60, subpart A, and any changes or additions to the Provisions specified at 40 CFR part 60, subparts Ka, Kb, VV, VVa, DDD, III, NNN, and RRR. The affected entities are also subject to the General Provisions of the NESHAP at 40 CFR part 61, subpart A, and any changes or additions to the Provisions specified at 40 CFR part 61, subparts BB, Y, and V. The affected entities are also subject to the General Provisions of the NESHAP at 40 CFR part 63, subpart A, and any changes or additions to the Provisions specified at 40 CFR part 63, subparts F, G, H, and I. As an alternative, SOCMI sources may choose to comply with the above standards under the Consolidated Air Rule (CAR) at 40 CFR part 65, as promulgated on December 14, 2000. Synthetic organic chemical manufacturing facilities subject to NSPS requirements must notify EPA of construction, modification, startups, shutdowns, date and results of initial performance test and excess emissions. Semiannual reports are also required. Synthetic organic chemical manufacturing facilities subject to NESHAP requirements must submit one-time-only reports of any physical or operational changes and the results of initial performance tests. 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. Periodic reports are also required, at a minimum, semiannually. Under the CAR requirements, periodic but less burdensome reporting is required. Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 200 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 VerDate Mar<15>2010 16:51 Feb 18, 2011 Jkt 223001 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 synthetic organic chemical manufacturing facilities. Estimated Number of Respondents: 3,311. Frequency of Response: Initially, occasionally, semiannually and annually. Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 1,988,952. Estimated Total Annual Cost: $283,462,406, which includes $188,133,406 in labor costs, $3,373,000 in capital/startup costs, and $91,956,000 in operation and maintenance (O&M) costs. Changes in the Estimates: There is an increase of 43 burden hours from the most recently approved ICR due to adjustments. These adjustments result from the revisions to the CAR in the Direct Final Rule, the retention of decimal places during intermediate calculations, and correction of a calculation error in the burden estimates for subpart VVa in the most recent approved ICR. Additionally, there is an increase in both respondent and Agency costs resulting from labor rate adjustments from the year 2006 to the most recently available rates. The increases in Agency cost is a result of direct labor rate increases in the managerial, technical, and clerical labor categories. The increase in respondent cost is a result of direct labor rate increases in the technical and clerical labor categories. Dated: February 14, 2011.

    Abstract: The Synthetic Organic Chemical Manufacturing Industry 
(SOCMI) is regulated by the New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) and 
National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP). The 
affected entities are subject to the General Provisions of the NSPS at 
40 CFR part 60, subpart A, and any changes or additions to the 
Provisions specified at 40 CFR part 60, subparts Ka, Kb, VV, VVa, DDD, 
III, NNN, and RRR. The affected entities are also subject to the 
General Provisions of the NESHAP at 40 CFR part 61, subpart A, and any 
changes or additions to the Provisions specified at 40 CFR part 61, 
subparts BB, Y, and V. The affected entities are also subject to the 
General Provisions of the NESHAP at 40 CFR part 63, subpart A, and any 
changes or additions to the Provisions specified at 40 CFR part 63, 
subparts F, G, H, and I. As an alternative, SOCMI sources may choose to 
comply with the above standards under the Consolidated Air Rule (CAR) 
at 40 CFR part 65, as promulgated on December 14, 2000.
    Synthetic organic chemical manufacturing facilities subject to NSPS 
requirements must notify EPA of construction, modification, startups, 
shutdowns, date and results of initial performance test and excess 
emissions. Semiannual reports are also required.
    Synthetic organic chemical manufacturing facilities subject to 
NESHAP requirements must submit one-time-only reports of any physical 
or operational changes and the results of initial performance tests. 
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. Periodic reports are also required, 
at a minimum, semiannually. Under the CAR requirements, periodic but 
less burdensome reporting is required.
    Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping 
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 200 
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: Owners or operators of synthetic 
organic chemical manufacturing facilities.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 3,311.
    Frequency of Response: Initially, occasionally, semiannually and 
annually.
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 1,988,952.
    Estimated Total Annual Cost: $283,462,406, which includes 
$188,133,406 in labor costs, $3,373,000 in capital/startup costs, and 
$91,956,000 in operation and maintenance (O&M) costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is an increase of 43 burden hours 
from the most recently approved ICR due to adjustments. These 
adjustments result from the revisions to the CAR in the Direct Final 
Rule, the retention of decimal places during intermediate calculations, 
and correction of a calculation error in the burden estimates for 
subpart VVa in the most recent approved ICR. Additionally, there is an 
increase in both respondent and Agency costs resulting from labor rate 
adjustments from the year 2006 to the most recently available rates. 
The increases in Agency cost is a result of direct labor rate increases 
in the managerial, technical, and clerical labor categories. The 
increase in respondent cost is a result of direct labor rate increases 
in the technical and clerical labor categories.
