Download as PDF 58495 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 183 / Wednesday, September 21, 2011 / Notices require compliance with the manifest system stems primarily from RCRA section 3002(a)(5). This section mandates a hazardous waste manifest ‘‘system’’ to assure that all hazardous waste generated is designated for and arrives at the appropriate treatment, storage, and disposal facility. An essential part of this manifest system is the Uniform Hazardous Waste Manifest (Form 8700–22A). The manifest is a tracking document that accompanies the waste from its generation site to its final disposition. The manifest lists the wastes that are being shipped and the final destination of the waste. The manifest system is a self-enforcing mechanism that requires generators, transporters, and owner/operators of treatment, storage, and disposal facilities to participate in hazardous waste tracking. In addition the manifest provides information to transporters and waste management facility workers on Reporting burden (hours) Respondent type wreier-aviles on DSK7SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES Manifest printer restraints ............................................................................................................

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: Estimated total number of potential respondents: 190,628. Frequency of response: each shipment. Estimated total average number of responses for each respondent: 10. Estimated total annual burden hours: 3,743,122 hours. Estimated total annual costs: $109,934,365, which includes $106,862,075 annualized labor and $3,072,290 for capital or O&M costs. What is the next step in the process for this ICR? EPA will consider the comments received and amend the ICR as appropriate. The final ICR package will then be submitted to OMB for review and approval pursuant to 5 CFR VerDate Mar<15>2010 15:20 Sep 20, 2011 Jkt 223001 1320.12. At that time, EPA will issue another Federal Register notice pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.5(a)(1)(iv) to announce the submission of the ICR to OMB and the opportunity to submit additional comments to OMB.

Under the OMB regulations, the Agency may continue to conduct or sponsor the collection of information while this submission is pending at the 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.

Pursuant to section 183(e)(3), EPA published a list of consumer and commercial products and a schedule for their regulation (60 FR 15264). Aerosol coatings were included on the list, and the standards for such coatings are codified at 40 CFR part 59, subpart E. The reports required under the standards enable EPA to identify coating formulations manufactured, imported or distributed in the United States, and to determine the product-weighted reactivity. The ICR addresses the burden for activities conducted in 3 year increments after promulgation of the national VOC emission standards for aerosol coatings. The regulated entities read instructions to determine how they were affected by the rule. New and existing regulated entities submit an initial notification. Regulated entities are required to submit notifications of changes in the products or company information and to maintain records. In addition, regulated entities are required to submit triennial reports of formulation data and VOC usage. Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 133 hours per response over the course of the 3 year reporting period. 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; 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: manufacturers, distributors, and importers of aerosol coatings. Estimated Number of Respondents: 64. Frequency of Response: Annually, triennially. Estimated Total Average Hour Burden: 12,265. Estimated Total Annual Cost: $1,033,626 in labor costs. There are no capital or O&M costs. Changes in the Estimates: There is an increase of 143 hours in the total estimated burden currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR PO 00000 Frm 00037 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Burdens. Year 1 and 2 burden estimates include an initial number of respondents that will be required to perform recordkeeping and reporting activities, and assumes 1 additional initial and supplemental reports will be required to be completed due to new aerosol coating product formulations being introduced into the market, or changes in existing aerosol coatings formulations. Beginning in Year 3, triennial reports will be submitted, increasing the burden for those years where a report is due. Dated: September 15, 2011. John Moses, Director, Collection Strategies Division.

determine how they were affected by the rule. New and existing
regulated entities submit an initial notification. Regulated entities
are required to submit notifications of changes in the products or
