Abstract: The affected entities are subject to the General Provisions of the NESHAP at 40 CFR part 61, subpart A, and any changes or additions to the Provisions specified at 40 CFR part 60, subpart DDDD. Owners or operators of the affected facilities must submit initial notification, performance tests, and periodic reports and results. Owners and operators are also required to VerDate Mar<15>2010 16:51 Jun 25, 2014 Jkt 232001 maintain records of the occurrence and duration of any startup, shutdown or malfunction in the operation of an affected facility, or any period when the monitoring system is inoperative. Form Numbers: None. Respondents/affected entities: Owners or operators of commercial and industrial solid waste incineration units. Respondent’s obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 60, subpart DDDD). Estimated number of respondents: 57 (total). Frequency of response: Initially, occasionally, semiannually, and annually. Total estimated burden: 7,378 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b). Total estimated cost: $8,694,601 (per year), includes $8,271,404 annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs. Changes in the Estimates: The change in the burden and cost estimates occurred because the standard has been in effect for more than three years and the requirements are different during initial compliance as compared to ongoing compliance. The previous ICR reflected those burdens and costs associated with the initial activities for subject facilities. This includes purchasing monitoring equipment, conducting performance tests and establishing recordkeeping systems. This ICR, by in large, reflects the ongoing burden and costs for existing facilities. Activities for existing source include continuously monitoring of pollutants and the submission of annual performance test results and semiannual reports of exceedances. The overall result is a decrease in burden hours and labor costs. However, there is an increase in the total O&M costs as this ICR reflects the burden associated with annual performance testing requirement of the Emission Guidelines. In addition to the changes above, this ICR revises the number of respondents using the latest Agency estimates, and corrects the number of responses as the previous ICR incorrectly included internal records as a response. This attributes to a decrease in the number of respondents and number of responses. Spencer W. Clark, Acting Director, Collection Strategies Division.

ICR status: The current OMB approval for this ICR is scheduled to expire on June 30, 2014. Under OMB regulations, the Agency may continue to conduct or sponsor the collection of information while this submission is pending at OMB. Abstract: Section 8(a) of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) authorizes EPA to promulgate rules that require persons who manufacture, import or process chemical substances and mixtures, or who propose to manufacture, import, or process chemical substances and mixtures, to maintain such records and submit such reports to EPA as may be reasonably required. Any chemical covered by TSCA for which EPA or another Federal agency has a reasonable need for information and which cannot be satisfied via other sources is a proper potential subject for a Chemical-Specific TSCA Section 8(a) Rulemaking. Information that may be collected under TSCA section 8(a) includes, but is not limited to, chemical names; categories of use; production or processing volume, byproducts of chemical production, processing, use or disposal; existing data concerning environmental and health effects; exposure data; and disposal information. Generally, EPA uses chemical-specific information under TSCA section 8(a) to evaluate the potential for adverse human health and environmental effects caused by the manufacture (including import), processing, use or disposal of identified chemical substances and mixtures. Additionally, EPA may use TSCA section 8(a) information to assess the need or set priorities for testing and/ or further regulatory action. To the extent that the submitter considers the reported information not to be confidential, environmental groups, environmental justice advocates, state VerDate Mar<15>2010 16:51 Jun 25, 2014 Jkt 232001 and local government entities and other members of the public will also have access to this information for their use. Respondents may claim all or part of a response confidential. EPA will disclose information that is covered by a claim of confidentiality only to the extent permitted by, and in accordance with, the procedures in TSCA section 14 and 40 CFR part 2. Respondents/affected entities: Entities potentially affected by this action are primarily those businesses that fall under NAICS codes 325, Chemical Manufacturers and Processors, and 324110, Petroleum Refineries. Respondent’s obligation to respond: Mandatory (see 40 CFR 704). Estimated number of respondents: 4 (total). Frequency of response: On occasion. Total estimated burden: 275 hours per year. Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b). Total estimated cost: $16,551 per year, includes $0 annualized capital or operation and maintenance costs.
