promulgates the corresponding
regulations governing the design,
construction, installation and use of
marine pollution control devices for that
particular discharge. The information
collection activities discussed in this
ICR do not require the submission of
any confidential information.
Form numbers: None.
Respondents/affected entities: States.
Respondent’s obligation to respond:
The responses to this collection of
information are required to obtain the
benefit of a sewage NDZ (CWA section
312(f)). The responses to this collection
of information are required to obtain the
benefit of an UNDS NDZ or a review of
an UNDS discharge determination or
standard (CWA section 312(n)).
Estimated number of respondents: 16
(total).
Frequency of response: One time.
Total estimated burden: 1,083 hours
(per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR
1320.03(b).
Total estimated cost: $54,938 (per
year), includes $998 annualized capital
or operation & maintenance costs.
Changes in estimates: It is anticipated
that the burden hours will stay the same
as the current estimate or decrease due
to changes in respondent universe when
we revise them for this ICR extension.
Cost estimates will likely remain the
same or rise at the time of revision
because of changes in the state and
federal labor costs.
Dated: August 31, 2018.

and information to enable it to: (i)
Evaluate whether the proposed
collection of information is necessary

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 authority for these
requirements is section 112(r) of the
1990 CAA Amendments, which
provides 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 (RMP) to EPA. EPA
uses RMPs 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 (and will occur) thereafter at
five-year intervals—in 2004, 2009, 2014
and 2019. Therefore, resubmissions tend
to occur in ‘‘waves’’ peaking each fifth

11SEN1
daltland on DSKBBV9HB2PROD with NOTICES

year. A source submitting an RMP
update to comply with its five-year
compliance deadline will often submit
its updated RMP several days or weeks
early to ensure it is received by EPA
before its deadline, and other 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 fiveyear compliance deadline based on the
date of their most recent revised plan
submission. However, because 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 2020,
2021, 2022 or 2023, 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
(2019 to 2021), 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:
12,500 (total). This figure will be
updated as needed during the 60-day
OMB review period.
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). This figure will be updated
as needed during the 60-day OMB
review period. Burden is defined at 5
CFR 1320.03(b).
Total estimated cost: $6,736,212 (per
year), includes $0 annualized capital or

Jkt 244001
operation maintenance costs. This figure
will be updated with most recent
available wage rates from BLS and to
account for any changes in O&M costs,
burden and number of respondents.
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
increase from the current ICR, because
the new ICR period will include a fiveyear reporting cycle year, whereas the
current approved ICR period did not
include a five-year reporting cycle year.
Any change in burden will be described
and explained in this section when the
updated ICR Supporting Statement is
completed during the 60-day OMB
review period.
