Download as PDF Emcdonald on DSK5VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 182 / Tuesday, September 20, 2011 / Notices 404 of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) (15 U.S.C. 2682, 2684). Sections 402(a) and 402(c)(3) of TSCA require EPA to develop and administer a training and certification program as well as work practice standards for persons who perform lead-based paint activities and/or renovations. The current regulations in 40 CFR part 745, subpart E, cover work practice standards, recordkeeping and reporting requirements, individual and firm certification, and enforcement for renovations done in target housing or child-occupied facilities. The current regulations in 40 CFR part 745, subpart L, cover inspections, lead hazard screens, risk assessments, and abatement activities (referred to as ‘‘lead-based paint activities’’) done in target housing and child-occupied facilities. The current regulations in 40 CFR part 745, subpart Q, establish the requirements that state or tribal programs must meet for authorization to administer the standards, regulations, or other requirements established under TSCA Section 402. (See Attachment 2 for 40 CFR part 745, subparts E, L and Q.) Section 401 of TSCA defines target housing as any housing constructed before 1978 except housing for the elderly or disabled or 0-bedroom dwellings. Sections 402(a) and 402(c)(3) of TSCA require reporting and/or recordkeeping from four entities: Firms engaged in lead-based paint activities or renovations in target housing and childoccupied facilities; individuals who perform lead-based paint activities in target housing and child-occupied facilities; training providers; and states/ territories/tribes/Alaskan native villages. This information collection applies to the reporting and recordkeeping requirements outlined above. Responses to the collection of information are mandatory (see 40 CFR part 745, subparts E, L and Q). Respondents may claim all or part of a notice as CBI. EPA will disclose information that is covered by a CBI claim only to the extent permitted by, and in accordance with, the procedures in 40 CFR part 2. 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, are listed in 40 CFR part 9 and included on the related collection instrument or form, if applicable. VerDate Mar<15>2010 17:45 Sep 19, 2011 Jkt 223001 Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 0.8 hours for individuals, 9.9 hours for firms, and 5.8 hours for governments per response. Burden is defined in 5 CFR 1320.3(b). Respondents/Affected Entities: Entities potentially affected by this ICR are persons who provide training in lead-based paint activities and/or renovation, persons who are engaged in lead-based paint activities and/or renovation, and state agencies that administer lead-based paint activities and/or renovation programs. Frequency of Collection: Annual. Estimated Average Number of Responses for Each Respondent: Varies. Estimated No. of Respondents: 367,815. Estimated Total Annual Burden on Respondents: 3,312,524 hours. Estimated Total Annual Labor Costs: $151,077,143. Changes in Burden Estimates: This request reflects a decrease of 497,229 hours (from 3,809,753 hours to 3,312,524 hours) in the total estimated respondent burden from that currently in the OMB inventory. This decrease reflects: EPA’s revisions to the estimated number of respondents based on the number of respondents reporting to the Agency under the prior information collection; EPA’s revisions to peractivity burden estimates to simplify some assumptions and to make estimation methods consistent; and characterization as Agency burden some burden elements that had previously been described as respondent burden. The Supporting Statement provides details on the change in burden estimate. The change is an adjustment. Dated: September 13, 2011. John Moses, Director, Collection Strategies Division.

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 Friction Materials Manufacturing were proposed on October 4, 2001 (66 FR 50768), and promulgated on October 18, 2002 (67 FR 64498). These standards apply to any new, reconstructed, or existing solvent mixers located at any friction materials manufacturing facility engaged in the manufacture of friction materials such as brake and clutch linings. A friction materials manufacturing facility is a major source of hazardous air pollutant (HAP) if it emits or has the potential to emit any single HAP at a rate of 9.07 megagrams (10 tons) or more per year, or any combination of HAP at a rate of VerDate Mar<15>2010 17:45 Sep 19, 2011 Jkt 223001 22.68 megagrams (25 tons) or more per year. Owners or operators must submit notification reports upon the construction or reconstruction of any friction materials manufacturing facility. Semiannual reports for periods of operation during which the emission limitation has exceeded (or reports certifying that no exceedances have occurred) also are required. Affected entities must retain reports and records for a total of five years: two years at the site, and the remaining three years at an off-site location. Notifications are used to inform the Agency or delegated authority when a source becomes subject to the standard. The reviewing authority may then inspect the source to ensure that the pollution control devices are properly installed and that the operating standard is being met. The information generated by monitoring, recordkeeping, and reporting requirements described in this ICR are used by the Agency to ensure that facilities that are affected by the standard continue to operate the control equipment and achieve continuous compliance with the regulation. 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 listed 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 162 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. All existing ways will have to adjust 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: Friction materials manufacturing. Estimated Number of Respondents: 4. PO 00000 Frm 00034 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Frequency of Response: Annually, semiannually, initially, and occasionally. Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 1,296. Estimated Total Annual Cost: $123,461, which includes $122,373 in labor costs, no capital/startup costs, and $1,088 in operation and maintenance (O&M) costs. Changes in the Estimates: There is no change in the labor hours in this ICR as compared to the previous ICR. This situation 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, so there is no significant change in the overall burden. There is, however, an increase in the estimated burden cost as currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR Burdens. The increase is not due to any program changes. The change in burden cost is due to the use of the most updated labor rates. Dated: September 13, 2011. John Moses, Director, Collection Strategies Division.

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 Friction Materials Manufacturing were proposed 
on October 4, 2001 (66 FR 50768), and promulgated on October 18, 2002 
(67 FR 64498).
    These standards apply to any new, reconstructed, or existing 
solvent mixers located at any friction materials manufacturing facility 
engaged in the manufacture of friction materials such as brake and 
clutch linings. A friction materials manufacturing facility is a major 
source of hazardous air pollutant (HAP) if it emits or has the 
potential to emit any single HAP at a rate of 9.07 megagrams (10 tons) 
or more per year, or any combination of HAP at a rate of 22.68 
megagrams (25 tons) or more per year.
    Owners or operators must submit notification reports upon the 
construction or reconstruction of any friction materials manufacturing 
facility. Semiannual reports for periods of operation during which the 
emission limitation has exceeded (or reports certifying that no 
exceedances have occurred) also are required. Affected entities must 
retain reports and records for a total of five years: two years at the 
site, and the remaining three years at an off-site location.
    Notifications are used to inform the Agency or delegated authority 
when a source becomes subject to the standard. The reviewing authority 
may then inspect the source to ensure that the pollution control 
devices are properly installed and that the operating standard is being 
met. The information generated by monitoring, recordkeeping, and 
reporting requirements described in this ICR are used by the Agency to 
ensure that facilities that are affected by the standard continue to 
operate the control equipment and achieve continuous compliance with 
the regulation.
    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 listed 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 162 
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. All 
existing ways will have to adjust 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: Friction materials manufacturing.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 4.
    Frequency of Response: Annually, semiannually, initially, and 
occasionally.
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 1,296.
    Estimated Total Annual Cost: $123,461, which includes $122,373 in 
labor costs, no capital/startup costs, and $1,088 in operation and 
maintenance (O&M) costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is no change in the labor hours in 
this ICR as compared to the previous ICR. This situation 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, so there is no significant change in the overall 
burden. There is, however, an increase in the estimated burden cost as 
currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR Burdens. The 
increase is not due to any program changes. The change in burden cost 
is due to the use of the most updated labor rates.
