Management and Budget (OMB) for
review and approval in accordance with
the Paperwork Reduction Act. Before
doing so, EPA is soliciting public
comments on specific aspects of the
proposed information collection as
described below. This is a proposed
extension of the ICR, which is currently
approved through December 31, 2015.
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: Comments must be submitted on
or before August 11, 2015.
ADDRESSES: Submit your comments,
referencing Docket ID No. EPA–HQ–
OAR–2003–0052, online using
www.regulations.gov (our preferred
method), or by mail to: EPA Docket
Center, Environmental Protection
Agency, Mail Code 28221T, 1200
Pennsylvania Ave., NW., Washington,
DC 20460.
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

Pursuant to section 3506(c)(2)(A) of
the PRA, EPA is soliciting comments
and information to enable it to: (i)
Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary
for the proper performance of the
functions of the Agency, including
whether the information will have
practical utility; (ii) evaluate the
accuracy of the Agency’s estimate of the
burden of the proposed collection of
information, including the validity of

the methodology and assumptions used;
(iii) enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and (iv) minimize the burden
of the collection of information on those
who are to respond, including through
the use of appropriate automated
electronic, mechanical, or other
technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology,
e.g., permitting electronic submission of
responses. EPA will consider the
comments received and amend the ICR
as appropriate. The final ICR package
will then be submitted to OMB for
review and approval. At that time, EPA
will issue another Federal Register
notice to announce the submission of
the ICR to OMB and the opportunity to
submit additional comments to OMB.
Abstract: The 1990 CAA Amendments
added section 112(r) to provide for the
prevention and mitigation of accidental
releases. Section 112(r) mandates that
EPA promulgate a list of ‘‘regulated
substances’’ with threshold quantities
and establish procedures for the
addition and deletion of substances
from the list of regulated substances.
Processes at stationary sources that
contain more than a threshold quantity
of a regulated substance are subject to
accidental release prevention
regulations promulgated under CAA
section 112(r)(7). These two rules are
codified as 40 CFR part 68.
Part 68 requires that sources with
more than a threshold quantity of a
regulated substance in a process
develop and implement a risk
management program and submit a risk
management plan to EPA. EPA uses risk
management plans to conduct oversight
of regulated sources, and to
communicate information concerning
them to federal, state, and local agencies
and the public, as appropriate.
The compliance schedule for the part
68 requirements was established by rule
on June 20, 1996. The burden to sources
that are currently covered by part 68, for
initial rule compliance, including rule
familiarization and program
implementation was accounted for in
previous ICRs. Sources submitted their
first RMPs by June 21, 1999. For most
sources, the next compliance deadlines
occurred thereafter at five year
intervals—in 2004, 2009, and 2014. A
source submitting an RMP update to
comply with their five-year compliance
deadline will often submit their updated
RMP several days or weeks early to
ensure it is received by EPA before their
deadline—these sources are assigned a
new five-year deadline based off of the
actual date of their most recent
submission. Therefore, resubmissions
tend to occur in ‘‘waves’’ peaking each

12JNN1
mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES

fifth year. Some sources revised and
resubmitted their RMPs between the
five-year deadlines, because of changes
occurring at the source that triggered an
earlier resubmission. These sources
were then assigned a new five-year
compliance deadline based on the date
of their most recent revised plan
submission. However, since most
sources are not required to resubmit
earlier than their five-year compliance
deadline, the next RMP submission
deadline for most sources occurs in
2019. The remaining sources have been
assigned a different deadline in 2016,
2017, 2018, or 2020 based on the date
of their most recent submission. Only
the first three years are within the
period covered by this ICR.
In this ICR, EPA has accounted for
burden for new sources that may
become subject to the regulations,
currently covered sources with
compliance deadlines in this ICR period
(2016 to 2018), sources that are out of
compliance since the last regulatory
deadline but are expected to comply
during this ICR period, and sources that
have deadlines beyond this ICR period
but are required to comply with certain
prevention program documentation
requirements during this ICR period.

Substantiation Form: EPA Form 8700–

Respondents/affected entities: Entities
potentially affected by this action are
chemical manufacturers, petroleum
refineries, water treatment systems,
agricultural chemical distributors,
refrigerated warehouses, chemical
distributors, non-chemical
manufacturers, wholesale fuel
distributors, energy generation facilities,
etc.
Respondent’s obligation to respond:
Mandatory (40 CFR part 68).
Estimated number of respondents:
12,600 (total).
Frequency of response: Sources must
resubmit RMPs at least every five years
and update certain on-site
documentation more frequently.
Total estimated burden: 80,546 hours
(per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR
1320.03(b).
Total estimated cost: $6,736,212 (per
year), includes $0 annualized capital or
operation & maintenance costs.
Changes in estimates: The above
burden estimates are based on the
current approved ICR. In the final notice
for the renewed ICR, EPA will publish
revised burden estimates based on
updates to respondent data and unit
costs. The revised burden estimates may
decrease slightly from the current ICR,
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 235001
as the total universe of respondents has
decreased slightly, and also because the
new ICR period will not include a major
(five-year) reporting cycle year. The
most recent five-year reporting cycle
year was 2014, which is covered by the
current approved ICR. The next major
five-year reporting cycle year is 2019,
which is after the period covered by the
new ICR. However, wage inflation may
offset this decrease or even result in a
marginal increase in burden compared
with the ICR currently approved by
OMB.
