Abstract: The National Emission
Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants
(NESHAP) for Chemical Recovery
Combustion Sources at Kraft, Soda,
Sulfite, and Stand-Alone Semichemical
Pulp Mills apply to new and existing
chemical recovery combustion sources
at kraft, soda, sulfite, and stand-alone
semichemical pulp mills, for which the
chemical recovery combustion sources
emit greater than or equal to 10 tons per
year (tpy) of any one hazardous air
pollutant (HAP) or greater than or equal
to 25 tpy of any combination of HAPs.
In general, all NESHAP standards
require initial notifications,
performance tests, and periodic reports
by the owners/operators of the affected
facilities. They are also required to
maintain records of any failures to meet
applicable standards, 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 40 CFR part
63, subpart MM.
Form Numbers: None.
Respondents/affected entities:
Chemical recovery combustion sources
at kraft, soda, sulfite, and stand-alone
semichemical pulp mills.
Respondent’s obligation to respond:
Mandatory (40 CFR part 63, subpart
MM).
Estimated number of respondents:
107 (total).
Frequency of response: Initially,
occasionally, and semiannually.
Total estimated burden: 122,000
hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5
CFR 1320.3(b).
Total estimated cost: $14,700,000 (per
year), which includes $831,000 in
annualized capital/startup and/or
operation & maintenance costs.
Changes in the Estimates: There is
decrease in the total estimated
respondent burden compared with the
ICR currently approved by OMB. This
ICR includes a more accurate estimate of
the number of new respondents based
on EPA’s recent consultations with
industry trade groups, which indicated
that one new facility will start up in the
third year of this information collection,
in addition to the one new respondent
per year that is an existing facility
constructing new process units. This
ICR also updates the burden associated
with the October 11, 2017 RTR
amendments, including removing firstyear costs associated with the
amendments, and accounting for the
remaining one-time burden for facilities
that applies through October 2020.

‘‘Minimum Standards of Fitness for
Employment with the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation’’. This rule
implements Section 19 of the Resolution
Trust Corporation Completion Act
(‘‘Completion Act’’), Public Law 103–
204, by (among other things) prescribing
a certification, with attachments in
some cases, relating to job applicants’
fitness and integrity. More specifically,
the statute provides that the FDIC shall
issue regulations implementing
provisions that prohibit any person from
becoming employed by FDIC, who has
been convicted of any felony; has been
removed from, or prohibited from
participating in the affairs of, any
insured depository institution pursuant
to any final enforcement action by any
appropriate federal banking agency; has
demonstrated a pattern or practice of
defalcation regarding obligations to
insured depository institutions; or has
caused a substantial loss to federal
deposit insurance funds. This collection
of information implements these
mandatory bars to employment through
a certification, signed by job applicants
prior to an offer of employment using
form 2120/16.
2. Title: Purchaser Eligibility
Certification.
OMB Number: 3064–0135.
Form Number: 7300–06.
Affected Public: Individuals and
entities wishing to purchase
receivership assets from the FDIC.
Burden Estimate: There has been no
change in the method or substance of
this information collection. The Subject
Matter Experts (SMEs) from the FDIC’s
Division of Resolutions and
Receiverships have estimated that this
information collection will affect 600
respondents annually for the next three
years. This estimate is unchanged from
2015. The SMEs reached this estimate
by calculating the average number of
Purchaser Eligibility Certifications
(PECs) completed in the past three years
and rounding up.

1 SMEs
within the FDIC’s Division of Resolutions and Receiverships (DRR) compiled this
information by the contacting the managers
that handle each asset sales category (structured transactions, cash loan sales, other real
estate sales, and securities sales).
The number of PECs completed each
year has been declining since 2009. If
this trend were to continue, the number
of respondents would be expected to
continue to decrease from 369 over the
next three years, which would imply
that the estimated number of
respondents should be lower for this
collection compared to the one in 2015.
The SMEs have acknowledged that 600
respondents may be a conservative
estimate, but also believe that it is
reasonable. This rationale stems from
the fact that the current rate of bank
failures is very low. The SMEs also
point out that the PECs are collected
from prospective purchasers and not
just the winning bidders. As a result, the
annual number of PECs could increase
if there is an increase in the demand for
the assets the FDIC sells even if the
number of assets for sale decreases in
line with the current trend of
diminishing bank failures.
The estimated hourly burden for this
information collection is 30 minutes per
PEC form. The SMEs have arrived at this
estimate through their personal
observations of individuals completing
these forms at open-outcry auction
events. The table below contains
estimates for the total estimated
reporting burden for this information
collection.

Request for Comment
Comments are invited on: (a) Whether
the collection of information is
necessary for the proper performance of
the FDIC’s functions, including whether
the information has practical utility; (b)
the accuracy of the estimates of the
burden of the information collection,
including the validity of the
methodology and assumptions used; (c)
ways to enhance the quality, utility, and
clarity of the information to be
collected; and (d) ways to minimize the
burden of the collection of information
on respondents, including through the
use of automated collection techniques
or other forms of information
technology. All comments will become
a matter of public record.
