Affected entities: Entities potentially affected by this action are the following industries and associated NAICS Codes: Elemental Phosphorous—325188; Phosphogypsum Stacks—212392; Underground Uranium Mines—212291; and Uranium Mills—212291. Title: NESHAP for Radionuclides (40 CFR part 61, subparts B, K, R and W) (Renewal). ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 1100.14, OMB Control No. 2060–0191. ICR status: This ICR is currently scheduled to expire on July 31, 2012. 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, are 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: In the context of the Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C. 1857), Section 114 authorizes the Administrator of EPA to require any person who owns or operates any emission source or who is subject to any requirements of the Act to: (1) Establish and maintain records, (2) Make reports, install, use, and maintain monitoring equipment or method, (3) Sample emissions in accordance with EPA-prescribed locations, intervals and methods, and (4) Provide information as may be requested.

This information is required for those facilities meeting the definition of each Subpart. EPA’s compliance monitoring activities vary widely. EPA could issue a letter requesting information about compliance or could conduct a full scale investigation, including on-site inspections. Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 134 hours 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. The ICR provides a detailed explanation of the Agency’s estimate, which is only briefly summarized here: Estimated total number of potential respondents: 47. Frequency of response: Annual. Estimated total average number of responses for each respondent: 1. Estimated total annual burden hours: 134 hours. Estimated total annual costs: $1,358,000. This includes an estimated burden cost of $666,000 and an estimated cost of $693,000 for capital investment or maintenance and operational costs. Are there changes in the estimates from the last approval? There is a decrease of 14 hours per facility in the total estimated respondent burden compared with that identified in the ICR currently approved by OMB. This decrease reflects a reduction in the number of facilities affected due to limited investment in uranium mining and a moratorium on DOE uranium lease tracts for Subpart B; closure of a conventional uranium mill in Subpart W; with no change in the number of Subpart R and K facilities. Increased costs are due to inflation and estimates VerDate Mar<15>2010 17:25 Jan 23, 2012 Jkt 226001 of radium-226 sampling for phosphogypsum stacks that remove material. 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 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.

    Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping 
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 134 
hours 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.
    The ICR provides a detailed explanation of the Agency's estimate, 
which is only briefly summarized here:
    Estimated total number of potential respondents: 47.
    Frequency of response: Annual.
    Estimated total average number of responses for each respondent: 1.
    Estimated total annual burden hours: 134 hours.
    Estimated total annual costs: $1,358,000. This includes an 
estimated burden cost of $666,000 and an estimated cost of $693,000 for 
capital investment or maintenance and operational costs.

Are there changes in the estimates from the last approval?

    There is a decrease of 14 hours per facility in the total estimated 
respondent burden compared with that identified in the ICR currently 
approved by OMB. This decrease reflects a reduction in the number of 
facilities affected due to limited investment in uranium mining and a 
moratorium on DOE uranium lease tracts for Subpart B; closure of a 
conventional uranium mill in Subpart W; with no change in the number of 
Subpart R and K facilities. Increased costs are due to inflation and 
estimates of radium-226 sampling for phosphogypsum stacks that remove 
material.

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 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. If you have any 
questions about this ICR or the approval process, please contact the 
technical person listed under FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT.
