Download as PDF emcdonald on DSK67QTVN1PROD with NOTICES Federal Register / Vol. 78, No. 235 / Friday, December 6, 2013 / Notices dialogue on enforcement and compliance performance between the states that will enhance relationships and increase feedback, which will in turn lead to consistent program management and improved environmental results. The Framework is described in the April 26, 2005, Federal Register Notice (79 FR 21408) [https://edocket.access.gpo.gov/2005/ pdf/05-8320.pdf]. This amendment will allow OECA to collect information from enforcement and compliance files reviewed during routine on-site visits of state or local agency offices that will assist in the evaluation of the State Review Framework implementation from FY 2014 to the end of FY 2017. This request will allow EPA to make inquiries to assess the State Review Framework process, including the consistency achieved among the EPA Regions and states, the resources required to conduct the reviews, and the overall effectiveness of the program. Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 521 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: 54. Frequency of response: Once every five years. Estimated total average number of responses for each respondent: one. Estimated total annual burden hours: 5,626.8 hours. Estimated total annual costs: $214,725.48. This includes an estimated burden cost of $0 for capital investment or maintenance and operational costs. Changes in the estimates: There has been a decrease in the hours in the total estimated respondent burden compared with that identified in the ICR currently VerDate Mar<15>2010 17:28 Dec 05, 2013 Jkt 232001 approved by OMB. There has been a decrease in the cost in the total estimated respondent burden based on implemented program efficiencies. Richard T. Westlund, Acting Director, Collection Strategies Division.

Abstract: Respondents are owners or operators of rubber tire manufacturing plants which include each: under-tread cementing operation, sidewall cementing operation, tread end cementing operation, bead cementing operating, green tire spraying operation, Michelin-A operation, Michelin-B operation, and Michelin-C automatic operation. The standards require the submission of notification when conducting performance tests and periodic reporting including semiannual reports of excess emissions and annual reports of Method 24 formulation data. Form Numbers: None. Respondents/affected entities: Rubber tire manufacturing facilities. Respondent’s obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 60, subpart BBB). Estimated number of respondents: 41 (total). Frequency of response: Initially, annually, and semiannually. Total estimated burden: 17,684 hours (per year). ‘‘Burden’’ is defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b). Total estimated cost: $1,746,207 (per year), includes $16,400 annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs. Changes in the Estimates: There is an adjustment increase in the respondent PO 00000 Frm 00027 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 burden from the most-recently approved ICR. Based on consultation comments received in development of this ICR, the frequency of occurrence for burden items ‘‘monitoring of VOC emissions and operations’’ and ‘‘recording startup, shutdown, and malfunction’’ were revised to account for 350 days per year operation, which is typical for current plant operation in the industry sector. This results in an increase in respondent burden hours and costs. There is also a decrease of one burden hour for the Agency as a result of rounding. This ICR calculates all burden hours and costs to two decimal places and presents a more precise estimate. Richard T. Westlund, Acting Director, Collection Strategies Division.

    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 O. 
Owners or operators of the affected facilities must make an initial 
notification report, performance tests, periodic reports, and 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 are required 
semiannually at a minimum.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Sewage sludge treatment plant 
incinerators.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 60, 
subpart O).
    Estimated number of respondents: 112 (total).
    Frequency of response: Initially and semiannually.
    Total estimated burden: 12,464 hours (per year). ``Burden'' is 
defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $5,179,185 (per year), includes $3,960,000 
annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is no change in labor hours in this 
ICR compared to the most recently approved ICR. This is due to two 
considerations:

[[Page 73524]]

(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 for the industry is very low, so there is no significant change in 
the overall burden. However, there is a slight increase in the 
respondent labor costs due to the use of updated labor rates.
