Download as PDF mstockstill on DSK6TPTVN1PROD with NOTICES 29336 Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 96 / Thursday, May 17, 2012 / Notices Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), and the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), as amended by the Food Quality Protection Act (FQPA) of August 3, 1996. Under FIFRA, EPA must evaluate pesticides thoroughly before they can be marketed and used in the United States, to ensure that they will not pose unreasonable adverse effects to human health and the environment. Pesticides that meet this test are granted a license or ‘‘registration’’ which permits their distribution, sale and use according to requirements set by EPA to protect human health and the environment. The producer of the pesticide must provide data from tests done according to EPA guidelines or other test methods that provide acceptable data. These tests must determine whether a pesticide has the potential to cause adverse effects on humans, wildlife, fish and plants, including endangered species and nontarget organisms, as well as possible contamination of surface water or groundwater from leaching, runoff and spray drift. EPA also must approve the language that appears on each pesticide label. A pesticide product can only be used according to the directions on the labeling accompanying it at the time of sale, through its use and disposal. Responses to the collection of information are mandatory (see 40 CFR 152). 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 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. Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average from 14 to 840 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 VerDate Mar<15>2010 17:20 May 16, 2012 Jkt 226001 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: 1,683. Estimated Annual Number of Responses: 8,136. Frequency of Response: On occasion. Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 168,204. Estimated Total Annual Cost: $13,435,600, includes no annualized capital or O&M costs. Changes in the estimates from the last approval: There is an annual respondent burden increase of 92,024 hours as a result of 4,946 additional expected responses, primarily from ‘‘Type B’’ activities that involve a registrant or applicant assembling and submitting an application for registration of a new or amended product that contains a currently registered active ingredient. The increase reflects the Agency’s tracking of information collected under FIFRA section 3 over the past three years, including increased responses for labeling or labeling amendments. This change is an adjustment. 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. Abstract: The affected entities are subject to the General Provisions of the NSPS at 40 CFR part 60, subpart A, and any changes, or additions to the Provisions specified at 40 CFR part 60, subpart OOO. These regulations apply to the following affected facilities in fixed or portable nonmetallic mineral processing plants: Each crusher, grinding mill, screening operation, bucket elevator, belt conveyor, bagging operation, storage bin, and enclosed truck or railcar loading station. These regulations also applies to, crushers and grinding mills at hot mix asphalt facilities that reduce the size of nonmetallic minerals embedded in recycled asphalt pavement and subsequent affected facilities up to, but not including, the first storage silo or bin are subject to the provisions of the subpart. 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. 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 60, subpart OOO, as authorized in section 112 and 114(a) of the Clean Air Act. The required information consists of emissions data VerDate Mar<15>2010 17:20 May 16, 2012 Jkt 226001 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 2 hours per response. ‘‘Burden’’ means the total time, effort, or financial resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or disclose or provide information either 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: Owners or operators of nonmetallic mineral processing facilities Estimated Number of Respondents: 4,697. Frequency of Response: Initially and occasionally. Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 12,374. Estimated Total Annual Cost: $1,340,274, which includes $1,185,697 in labor costs, $154,577 in capital/ startup costs, and no operation and maintenance (O&M) costs. Changes in the Estimates: There is an increase in the labor hours for both the respondents and the Agency in this ICR compared to the previous ICR. This is due to two considerations. First, performance testing for existing sources will begin 5 years after the initial performance testing following the 2009 ICR amendments, which corresponds to the third year of this renewal. Beginning in the third year of this ICR renewal, 60.9 sources per year would conduct 5year repeat fugitive Method 9 performance tests. These tests are only required for crushed/broken stone and sand/gravel facilities that do not have water sprays. This yields an annual average of 20.3 sources requiring PO 00000 Frm 00025 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 29337 Method 9 performance tests over the next 3 years. Secondly, there is an increase in the total number of respondents subject to the rule due to a growth in the respondent universe. There is also an increase in the total labor and Agency costs as currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved Burdens. The change in cost estimates reflects the changes in respondent numbers (described above) and updated labor rates available from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
