Abstract: The potential respondents
for this collection of information are
owners or operators of any affected
source with leather finishing operations
subject to 40 CFR part 63, subpart
TTTT. Owners and operators of affected
facilities are required to comply with
reporting and recordkeeping
requirements for the General Provisions
of the NESHAP (40 CFR part 63, subpart
A), as well as for the requirements in 40
CFR part 63, subpart TTTT. This
includes submitting initial notifications,
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 the EPA to determine
compliance with these standards.
Form numbers: None.
Respondents/affected entities: Leather
finishing operations.
Respondent’s obligation to respond:
Mandatory (40 CFR part 63, subpart
TTTT).
Estimated number of respondents: 4
(total).
Frequency of response: Initially,
occasionally and annually.
Total estimated burden: 138 hours
(per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR
1320.3(b).
Total estimated cost: $12,500 (per
year), which includes $0 for capital/
startup and/or operation & maintenance
(O&M) costs.
Changes in the estimates: There is an
adjustment decrease in the total
estimated burden as currently identified
in the OMB Inventory of Approved
Burdens. This decrease is not due to any
program changes. The change in the
burden and cost estimates is due to
more accurate estimates of existing
sources based on the EPA’s recent
reevaluation of the source category
inventory as part of a recently proposed
risk and technology review (83 FR
11314, March 14, 2018), which
indicated that several facilities have
shut down since the last ICR renewal
period. These changes result in an
overall decrease in the labor hours,
number of responses, and O&M costs.

Director, Regulatory Support Division.

Abstract: The authority for the
emergency planning and emergency
release notification requirements is
sections 302, 303, and 304 of the
Emergency Planning and Community
Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA) 1986 (42
U.S.C. 11002, 11003, and 11004).
EPCRA established broad emergency
planning and facility reporting
requirements. Section 302 requires
facilities to notify their state emergency
response commission (SERC) and the
local emergency planning committee
(LEPC) that the facility is subject to
emergency planning. This activity was
completed soon after the law was
passed. Only new facilities that may
become subject to these requirements
must notify the SERC and the LEPC.
Currently covered facilities are required
to notify the LEPC of any changes that
occur at the facility which would be
relevant to emergency planning. Section
303 requires the LEPC to prepare local
emergency response plans for their
planning district using the information
provided by facilities under section 302.
The LEPC may request any information
from facilities necessary to develop
emergency response plans. Emergency
response plans were developed within a
few months after the law was passed.
LEPCs are required to review and
update the plan at least annually or
more frequently as changes occur in the
community. Section 304 requires
facilities to report to SERCs and LEPCs
releases exceeding the reportable
quantities listed for each extremely
hazardous substance (EHS) and for each
hazardous substance defined under
section 101(14) of the Comprehensive
Environmental Response,
Compensation, and Liability Act. This
ICR also covers the notification and the
written follow-up required under
section 304. The implementing
regulations are codified in 40 CFR part
355.
Form numbers: None.
Respondents/affected entities: Entities
that have a threshold planning quantity
of an extremely hazardous substance
(EHS) listed in 40 CFR part 355,
Appendix A and those that have a
release of any of the EHSs or CERCLA
hazardous substances above a reportable
quantity. Entities more likely to be
affected by this action may include
chemical manufacturers, retailers,
petroleum refineries, utilities, etc.
Respondent’s obligation to respond:
Mandatory under EPCRA sections 302,
303 and 304.
Estimated number of respondents:
108,556.
PO 00000
Frm 00038
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
65659
Frequency of response: EPCRA
section 302 reporting is a one-time
notification unless there are changes to
the reported information; EPCRA
section 304 notification is only when a
release of an EHS or CERCLA hazardous
substance occurs from a facility.
Total estimated burden: 259,456
hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5
CFR 1320.03(b).
Total estimated cost: $10,784,934 (per
year), including $68,867 annual
operations and maintenance costs.
There are no capital costs associated
with this ICR.
Changes in estimates: The number of
facilities subject to section 302 is
95,000, which is the same as in the
previous ICR. There is an increase of
4,500 hours in the total estimated
respondent burden compared with the
ICR currently approved by OMB. This
increase is due to an adjustment to the
estimate, which corrected for a math
error in the previous ICR renewal.
