Abstract: This ICR applies to a contractor who performs response services at sensitive sites with serious security concerns where the Agency and public interest would best be protected through drug testing of contractor employees. The contractor will test employees for the use of marijuana, cocaine, opiates, amphetamines, phencyclidine (PCP), and any other controlled substances. Only contractor employees who have been tested within the previous 90 calendar days and have passing drug test results may be directly engaged in on-site response work and/ or on-site related activities at designated sites with significant security concerns. The Agency may request contractors responding to any of these types of incidents to conduct drug testing and apply Government-established suitability criteria in Title 5 CFR Administrative Personnel 731.104 Appointments Subject to Investigation, 732.201 Sensitivity Level Designations and Investigative Requirements, and 736.102 Notice to Investigative Sources, when determining whether employees VerDate Sep<11>2014 19:13 Aug 13, 2018 Jkt 244001 are acceptable to perform on given sites or on specific projects. Form Numbers: None. Respondents/affected entities: Private Contractors. Respondent’s obligation to respond: Required to obtain a benefit per Title 5 CFR Administrative Personnel 731.104 Appointments Subject to Investigation, 732.201 Sensitivity Level Designations and Investigative Requirements, and 736.102 Notice to Investigative Sources. Estimated number of respondents: 500 (total). Frequency of response: Annual. Total estimated burden: 1,125 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.03(b). Total estimated cost: $129,100 (per year), includes $0 annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs. Changes in the Estimates: There is an increase of 112 hours in the total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently approved by OMB. This increase is an adjustment due to more awarded contracts/orders performed on sensitive sites that require this drug testing for contractor employees.

Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Ferroalloys Production Area Sources (40 CFR part 63, subpart YYYYYY) apply to existing and new ferroalloy production facilities that are an area source of hazardous air pollutant (HAP) emissions. In general, all NESHAP standards require initial notifications, performance tests, and PO 00000 Frm 00065 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 periodic reports by the owners/ operators of the affected facilities. They are 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. These notifications, reports, and records are essential in determining compliance, and are required of all affected facilities subject to NESHAP. Form Numbers: None. Respondents/affected entities: Owners and operators of area source ferroalloys production facilities. Respondent’s obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 63, subpart YYYYYY). Estimated number of respondents: 10 (total). Frequency of response: Initially, annually, and periodically. Total estimated burden: 391 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b). Total estimated cost: $41,100 (per year), which includes $0 for annualized capital/startup and/or operation & maintenance costs. Changes in the Estimates: The increase in burden from the most recently approved ICR is due to an adjustment. Hours were added to approximate the time spent by each source to familiarize with the rule requirements. Courtney Kerwin, Director, Regulatory Support Division.
