Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 39 / Tuesday, February 28, 2012 / Notices
Owners or operators of the affected
facilities must submit initial
notification, performance tests, and
periodic reports and results. 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. Reports, at a minimum, are
required semiannually.
Any owner or operator subject to the
provisions of this part shall 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 YY, 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.
Burden Statement: The annual public
reporting and recordkeeping burden for
this collection of information is
estimated to average 90 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: Source
categories: generic maximum achievable
control technology standards for carbon
black, ethylene, cyanide and spandex
facilities.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
72.
Frequency of Response: Annually,
semiannually, and occasionally.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:
13,524.
Estimated Total Annual Cost:
$1,654,836, which includes $1,295,805
in labor costs, no capital/startup costs,
VerDate Mar<15>2010
20:10 Feb 27, 2012
Jkt 226001
and $359,031 in operation and
maintenance (O&M) costs.
Changes in the Estimates: The
increase in burden from the most
recently approved ICR is due to
adjustments. The adjustment increase in
burden costs for both the respondents
and the Agency is due to an update in
labor rates. Despite the increase in
burden costs, there is a decrease in the
respondent labor hours (9 hours) in this
ICR compared to the previous ICR due
to a mathematical error in determining
the person-hours per respondent.
