Title: Emission Guidelines for
Existing Other Solid Waste Incineration
Units (Renewal).
ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number
2164.04, OMB Control Number 2060–
0562.
ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to
expire on July 31, 2012. Under OMB
regulations, the Agency may continue to

either conduct or sponsor the collection
of information while this submission is
pending at OMB.
Abstract: The emission guidelines
address existing OSWI units that
commenced construction before the
proposal of the emission guidelines
(December 9, 2004). The emission
guidelines do not apply directly to
existing OSWI unit owners and
operators.
The emission guidelines can be
considered a model regulation that a
State agency can use in developing
plans to implement the emission
guidelines. If a State does not develop,
adopt, and submit an approvable State
plan, the Federal government must
develop a plan to implement the
emission guidelines. This ICR includes
the burden for an affected entity, even
if it is ultimately regulated under either
a State or Federal plan.
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 FFFF, as
authorized in sections 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 nor
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
Number for EPA regulations listed in 40
CFR part 9 and 48 CFR chapter 15, 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 236 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;
PO 00000
Frm 00056

and transmit or otherwise disclose the
information.
Respondents/Affected Entities:
Owners or operators of other existing
solid waste incinerators.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
99.
Frequency of Response: Initially,
annually, and semiannually.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:
70,132.
Estimated Total Annual Cost:
$7,215,028, which includes $6,720,028
in labor costs, no capital/startup costs,
and $495,000 in operation and
maintenance (O&M) costs.
Changes in the Estimates: There is a
decrease in the total estimated burden
for both the respondents and the Agency
from the most recently approved ICR
due to a decrease in the number of
sources. At the time of rule
promulgation, EPA estimated that 248
respondents were subject to the
standard. However, many facilities have
shut down or ceased operation since
2005. In recent years in support of
potential OSWI regulatory development,
the Agency consulted with internal data
experts and conducted data and permits
searches to inventory the number of
existing OSWI units. The data collection
activities in 2010 suggest that only 99
VSMWC and IWI sources are subject to
the standard. This represents an
approximately 60 percent decrease in
the respondent universe since 2005.
The decrease in the respondent
universe also results in significant
reduction of the overall O&M costs to
the respondents.
Additionally, this ICR corrects a
mathematical error in the previous ICR’s
estimate for the respondents’
recordkeeping burden.

Title: NESHAP for Radionuclides
(Renewal).
ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 1100.14,
OMB Control No. 2060–0191.
ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to
expire on July 31, 2012. Under OMB
regulations, the Agency may continue to
conduct or sponsor the collection of
information while this submission is
pending at 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.
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. EPA’s regional offices use the
information collected to ensure that
public health continues to be protected
from the hazards of radionuclides by
compliance with health based
standards. 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. The information required to
PO 00000
Frm 00057
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 9990

be submitted is not confidential in
nature.
Burden Statement: The annual public
reporting and recordkeeping burden for
this collection of information is
estimated to average 144 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: The
NAICS Codes of facilities associated
with the activity of the respondents are:
(1) Elemental Phosphorous—325188, (2)
Phosphogypsum Stacks—212392, (3)
Underground Uranium Mines—212291,
and (4) Uranium Mill Tailings—212291.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
20.
Frequency of Response: Initially
(Once), Annually, Random
(Occasionally).
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:
2,872.
Estimated Total Annual Cost:
$500,572, which includes $283,460 in
annualized capital and O&M costs.
Changes in the Estimates: There is a
decrease of 6,324 hours in the total
estimated burden currently identified in
the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR
Burdens. This decrease reflects a
reduction in the number of facilities
affected due to dwindling interest in
underground uranium mining, fewer
conventional uranium impoundments,
reduced activities at phosphogypsum
facilities, and alternate usage of
phosphogypsum, (e.g., as road base).
