Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 54 / Monday, March 21, 2016 / Notices
Under PRA, 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq., 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 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 for
certain EPA regulations is consolidated
in 40 CFR part 9.
Abstract: Section 8(a) of the Toxic
Substances Control Act (TSCA)
authorizes EPA to promulgate rules
under which manufacturers, importers
and processors of chemical substances
and mixtures must maintain records and
submit reports to EPA. EPA has
promulgated the Preliminary
Assessment Information Rule (PAIR)
under TSCA section 8(a). EPA uses
PAIR to collect information to identify,
assess and manage human health and
environmental risks from chemical
substances, mixtures and categories.
PAIR requires chemical manufacturers
and importers to complete a
standardized reporting form to help
evaluate the potential for adverse
human health and environmental effects
caused by the manufacture or
importation of identified chemical
substances, mixtures or categories.
Chemicals identified by EPA or any
other federal agency, for which a
justifiable information need for
production, use or exposure-related data
can be satisfied by the use of the PAIR
are proper subjects for TSCA section
8(a) PAIR rulemaking. In most instances
the information that EPA receives from
a PAIR report is sufficient to satisfy the
information need in question. This
information collection addresses the
reporting and recordkeeping
requirements associated with TSCA
section 8(a).
Respondents/Affected entities:
Entities potentially affected by this ICR
are companies that manufacture,
process or import chemical substances,
mixtures or categories.
Respondent’s obligation to respond:
Mandatory (see 40 CFR parts 712, 766,
and 792).
Estimated total number of potential
respondents: 1.
Frequency of response: On occasion.
Estimated total burden: 31.5 hours
(per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR
1320.3(b).
Estimated total costs: $ 2,388 (per
year), includes no annualized capital
investment or maintenance and
operational costs.
Changes in the estimates: There is a
decrease of 916 hours in the total
VerDate Sep<11>2014

Jkt 238001
estimated respondent burden compared
with that identified in the ICR currently
approved by OMB. This decrease
reflects EPA’s reduced estimate of the
assumed number of PAIR reports
submitted annually, and also reflects
burden changes resulting from
mandatory electronic submissions of
PAIR reports. This change is both an
adjustment and the result of a program
change.
Authority: 44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.

Abstract: Owners and operators of
petroleum refineries are required to
comply with reporting and recordkeeping requirements for the general
provisions of 40 CFR part 63, subpart A,
as well as for the applicable standards
found in 40 CFR part 63, subpart CC.
This includes submitting initial
notification reports, performance tests
and periodic reports and results, and
maintaining 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. These reports are used by
EPA to determine compliance with the
standards.
Form Numbers: None.
Respondents/affected entities:
Existing and new petroleum refining
process units and emission points
located at refineries that are major
sources of hazardous air pollutants
(HAP) emissions.
Respondent’s obligation to respond:
Mandatory (40 CFR part 63, subpart CC).
Estimated number of respondents:
142 (total).
Frequency of response: Initially,
occasionally, annually and
semiannually.

Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 54 / Monday, March 21, 2016 / Notices
Total estimated burden: 528,000
hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5
CFR 1320.3(b).
Total estimated cost: $54,800,000 (per
year), which includes $143,000 in
annualized capital/startup and/or
operation & maintenance costs.
Changes in the Estimates: There is a
decrease in respondent labor hours and
the total O&M costs from the mostrecently approved ICR. The decrease in
burden is due to adjusting the number
of respondents from 148 to 142. The
updated number of respondents is based
on the Agency’s industry analysis
conducted for the recent RTR rule
amendment, documented in EPA ICR
Number 1692.08. This estimate is based
on information from EPA’s Petroleum
Refinery Database (contains data
provided by each individual refinery in
response to an EPA survey of the
petroleum refinery industry in 2011)
and the Agency’s internal data sources.
However, there is a small adjustment
increase in the number of responses due
to a correction. The previous ICR did
not account for semiannual heat
exchanger system reports in calculating
the number of responses. This ICR
renewal includes this item to be
consistent with the Table 1 and Table 2
burden calculations.

the occurrence and duration of any

the operation of an affected facility, or

Form Numbers: None.
Respondents/affected entities: Large

Respondent’s obligation to respond:
Mandatory (40 CFR part 60, subpart Cb).
Estimated number of respondents: 81
(total).
Frequency of response: Initially,
occasionally, semiannually and
annually.
Total estimated burden: 397,000
hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5
CFR 1320.3(b).
Total estimated cost: $59,400,000 (per
year), which includes $1,560,000 in
annualized capital/startup and/or
operation & maintenance costs.
Changes in the Estimates: There is a
small adjustment increase in the
respondent labor hours and costs and
the total O&M costs as currently
identified in the OMB Inventory of
Approved Burdens. The increase in
labor hours and cost is due to a change
in assumption. In this ICR, we assume
all existing sources will take some time
each year to re-familiarize themselves
with the regulatory requirements. The
increase in total O&M cost is due to
rounding of all calculated values to
three significant figures.
