Exposure Modeling Public Meeting; Notice of Public Meeting, 36055-36056 [2014-14833]

Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 122 / Wednesday, June 25, 2014 / Notices 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 are required quarterly at a minimum. Form Numbers: None. Respondents/affected entities: Owners or operators of vinyl chloride production facilities. Respondent’s obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 61, subpart F). Estimated number of respondents: 18 (total). Frequency of response: Initially, quarterly, and occasionally. Total estimated burden: 7,603 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b). Total estimated cost: $1,553,615 (per year), includes $810,000 annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs. Changes in the Estimates: There is a decrease of 4,223 hours in the total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently approved by OMB as a result of the PVC NESHAP standard at 40 CFR part 63, subpart HHHHHHH. Beginning in April 17, 2015, 12 of the existing vinyl chloride plants will comply with the part 63 rule, and will no longer be subject to the part 61 NESHAP. Therefore, we expect a decrease in the number of respondents beginning in Year 2 of this ICR period. In addition, we have updated the number of existing sources from 28 in the previous ICR to 26 based on latest Agency estimates for this industry.

ACTION: Notice. mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES AGENCY: The Environmental Protection Agency has submitted an information collection request (ICR), NSPS for Asphalt Processing and Roofing Manufacture (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart SUMMARY: VerDate Mar<15>2010 18:01 Jun 24, 2014 Jkt 232001 UU) (Renewal) (EPA ICR No. 0661.10, OMB Control No. 2060–0002), to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act. This is a proposed extension of the ICR, which is currently approved through June 30, 2014. Public comments were previously requested via the Federal Register (78 FR 35023) on June 11, 2013 during a 60-day comment period. This notice allows for an additional 30 days for public comments. A fuller description of the ICR is given below, including its estimated burden and cost to the public. 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. DATES: Additional comments may be submitted on or before July 25, 2014. ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, referencing Docket ID Number EPA– HQ–OECA–2013–0326, to: (1) EPA online, using www.regulations.gov (our preferred method), or by email to: docket.oeca@epa.gov, or by mail to: EPA Docket Center, Environmental Protection Agency, Mail Code 28221T, 1200 Pennsylvania Ave. NW., Washington, DC 20460; and (2) OMB via email to oira_submission@omb.eop.gov. Address comments to OMB Desk Officer for EPA. EPA’s policy is that all comments received will be included in the public docket without change including any personal information provided, unless the comment includes profanity, threats, information claimed to be Confidential Business Information (CBI) or other information whose disclosure is restricted by statute.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Supporting documents, which explain in detail the information that the EPA will be collecting, are available in the public docket for this ICR. The docket can be viewed online at www.regulations.gov or in person at the EPA Docket Center, WJC West, Room 3334, 1301 Constitution Ave. NW., Washington, DC.

PO 00000 Frm 00068 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 36055 Abstract: Owners and operators must notify EPA of construction modification startups, shutdowns, malfunctions, and data and results of performance test. Owners/operators must continually monitor and record temperature in specified pollution control devices. EPA determines parameters to be recorded in other control devices upon description of that device by the source. Form Numbers: None. Respondents/affected entities: Asphalt processing and roofing manufacturer facilities. Respondent’s obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 60, subpart UU). Estimated number of respondents: 144 (total). Frequency of response: Initially, occasionally and semiannually. Total estimated burden: 33,912 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b). Total estimated cost: $8,557,168 (per year), which includes $5,240,000 annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs. Changes in the Estimates: There is no change in the labor hours in this ICR compared to the previous ICR. This is due to two considerations: (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 respondents is very low, negative, or non-existent. Therefore, the burden hours in the previous ICR reflect the current burden and are reiterated in this ICR. However, there is an adjustment decrease in the respondent cost and an adjustment increase in the Agency cost due to an update in labor rates.

ACTION: Notice. AGENCY: With this document, EPA is opening the public comment period for several registration reviews. Registration review is EPA’s periodic review of pesticide registrations to ensure that each pesticide continues to satisfy the statutory standard for registration, that is, the pesticide can perform its intended function without unreasonable adverse effects on human health or the environment. Registration review dockets contain information that will assist the public in understanding the types of information and issues that the Agency may consider during the course of registration reviews. Through this program, EPA is ensuring that each pesticide’s registration is based on current scientific and other knowledge, including its effects on human health and the environment. This document also announces the Agency’s intent not to open a registration review docket for inorganic thiosulfate. This pesticide does not currently have any actively registered pesticide products and is not, therefore, scheduled for review under the registration review program. EPA is also announcing the availability of amended final work plan (FWP) for Meta-Cresol (Cresol) and Xylenol. Furthermore, this document also announces the registration review case closure for the pesticide 2Mercaptobenzothiazole for non-payment of maintenance fees for the last remaining registration. DATES: Comments must be received on or before August 25, 2014. ADDRESSES: Submit your comments identified by the docket identification (ID) number for the specific pesticide of interest provided in the table in Unit III.A., by one of the following methods: • Federal eRulemaking Portal: https:// www.regulations.gov.
