Download as PDF srobinson on DSK4SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 235 / Wednesday, December 7, 2011 / Notices dosing of human subjects, these individuals (respondents) are required to submit study protocols to EPA and a cognizant local Human Subjects IRB before such research is initiated so that the scientific design and ethical standards that will be employed during the proposed study may be reviewed and approved. Also, respondents are required to submit information about the ethical conduct of completed research that involved human subjects when such research is submitted to EPA. Burden statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 598 hours per response for research involving intentional exposure of human subjects, and 12 hours per response for all other submitted research with human subjects. 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 information requirements identified in the final rule do not duplicate other federal agency information collections. The ICR, a copy of which is available in the docket, provides a detailed explanation of this estimate, which is only briefly summarized here: Estimated total number of potential respondents: 54. Frequency of response: On occasion. Estimated total average number of responses for each respondent: 1. Estimated total annual burden hours: 20,572 hours. Estimated total annual costs: $1,712,833. This includes an estimated burden cost of $1,712,833 and no additional cost for non-burden hour paperwork costs, e.g., investment or maintenance and operational costs. Changes in the estimates from the last approval: The renewal of this ICR will not result in a change in the number of hours in the total estimated respondent burden identified in the currently approved ICR. VerDate Mar<15>2010 17:00 Dec 06, 2011 Jkt 226001 B. Docket ID Number EPA–HQ–OPP– 2011–0902 Title: Consumer Research through Focus Groups to Develop Improved Labeling for Pesticide Products. ICR number: EPA ICR No. 2367.02. OMB control number: OMB Control No. 2070–0175. ICR status: The approval for this ICR is scheduled to expire on August 31, 2012. Affected entities: Entities potentially affected by this ICR are members of the general public who volunteer to participate in a focus group. Abstract: EPA intends to renew a voluntary information collection for consumer research involving the use of focus groups to test various versions of pesticide product labels and other informational materials intended for the general public. The purpose of this research is to identify the consumer’s understanding of the information on a pesticide product label to assure that the consumer can effectively use this information to select the pesticide product most likely to meet their needs and can readily understand label instructions regarding the safe use, handling, and disposal of the product. The collected information will be used to inform the Agency on the need for and nature of potential revisions to EPA guidance and regulations regarding pesticide product labels and to create other user-friendly consumer information materials. Burden statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 2 hours per response. The ICR, a copy of which is available in the docket, provides a detailed explanation of this estimate, which is only briefly summarized here: Estimated total number of potential respondents: 300. Frequency of response: On occasion. Estimated total average number of responses for each respondent: 1. Estimated total annual burden hours: 200 hours. Estimated total annual costs: $6,014. There are no capital expenditures or operational and maintenance costs associated with this collection activity. Changes in the estimates from the last approval: The renewal of this ICR will result in an overall decrease of 181.34 hours in the total estimated respondent burden identified in the currently approved ICR. This decrease reflects EPA’s actual costs of conducting a series of 10 focus groups in 2010. This change is an adjustment. PO 00000 Frm 00043 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 76401 V. What is the next step in the process for these ICRs? EPA will consider the comments received and amend the individual ICRs as appropriate. The final ICR packages will then be submitted to OMB for review and approval pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.12. EPA will issue another Federal Register notice pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.5(a)(1)(iv) to announce the submission of these ICRs to OMB and the opportunity for the public to submit additional comments for OMB consideration.

ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 1974.06, OMB Control Number 2060– 0488. ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on December 31, 2011. Under OMB regulations, the Agency may continue to conduct or sponsor the collection of information while this submission is pending at OMB. Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP), for Cellulose Products Manufacturing were proposed on August 28, 2000 (65 FR 52166) and promulgated on June 11, 2002 (67 FR 40043). These standards apply to any existing, reconstructed, or new affected sources. These standards apply to each operation that is a major source of hazardous air pollutants (HAP), which includes both the miscellaneous viscose processes source category and the cellulose ethers productions source category. The viscose process includes the cellulose food casing, rayon, cellulosic sponge, and cellophane operations, and the cellulose ethers includes all of the cellulose ether operations. Respondents of affected sources are subject to the requirements of 40 CFR part 63, subpart A, the General Provisions, unless the regulation specifies otherwise. Owners or operators must submit notification that the facility is subject to the rule; notification of performance test; notification of compliance status (including results of performance tests and other initial compliance demonstrations) and the semiannual compliance report. Owners or operators of cellulose products manufacturing facilities subject to the rule must 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 63, subpart UUUU, 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 Numbers for the EPA regulations are listed in 40 CFR part 9 and 48 CFR PO 00000 Frm 00044 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 9990 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 141 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: Cellulose products manufacturing. Estimated Number of Respondents: 13. Frequency of Response: Weekly, semiannually, and occasionally. Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 12,088. Estimated Total Annual Cost: $1,258,056, which includes $1,257,042 in labor costs, no capital/startup costs, and $1,014 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 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 according to the industry sources is very low, negative, or non-existent, so there is no significant change in the overall burden. There are no new facilities expected to be constructed over the next three years of this ICR. However, there is an increase in the estimated burden cost as currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved Burdens. The increase is not due to any program changes. The change in burden is due to the use of the most updated labor rates. Dated: November 30, 2011. John Moses, Director, Collection Strategies Division.

    Title: NESHAP for Cellulose Products Manufacturing (Renewal).
    ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 1974.06, OMB Control Number 2060-0488.
    ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on December 31, 2011. 
Under OMB regulations, the Agency may continue to conduct or sponsor 
the collection of information while this submission is pending at OMB.
    Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air 
Pollutants (NESHAP), for Cellulose Products Manufacturing were proposed 
on August 28, 2000 (65 FR 52166) and promulgated on June 11, 2002 (67 
FR 40043). These standards apply to any existing, reconstructed, or new 
affected sources. These standards apply to each operation that is a 
major source of hazardous air pollutants (HAP), which includes both the 
miscellaneous viscose processes source category and the cellulose 
ethers productions source category. The viscose process includes the 
cellulose food casing, rayon, cellulosic sponge, and cellophane 
operations, and the cellulose ethers includes all of the cellulose 
ether operations. Respondents of affected sources are subject to the 
requirements of 40 CFR part 63, subpart A, the General Provisions, 
unless the regulation specifies otherwise.
    Owners or operators must submit notification that the facility is 
subject to the rule; notification of performance test; notification of 
compliance status (including results of performance tests and other 
initial compliance demonstrations) and the semiannual compliance 
report. Owners or operators of cellulose products manufacturing 
facilities subject to the rule must 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 63, subpart UUUU, 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 Numbers for the EPA 
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 141 
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: Cellulose products manufacturing.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 13.
    Frequency of Response: Weekly, semiannually, and occasionally.
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 12,088.
    Estimated Total Annual Cost: $1,258,056, which includes $1,257,042 
in labor costs, no capital/startup costs, and $1,014 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 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 according to the industry sources is 
very low, negative, or non-existent, so there is no significant change 
in the overall burden. There are no new facilities expected to be 
constructed over the next three years of this ICR.
    However, there is an increase in the estimated burden cost as 
currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved Burdens. The 
increase is not due to any program changes. The change in burden is due 
to the use of the most updated labor rates.
