Abstract: The National Emission
Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants
(NESHAP) for Magnetic Tape
Manufacturing Operations (40 CFR part
63, subpart EE) were proposed on March
11, 1994, promulgated on December 15,
1994 and amended on both April 9,
1999 and April 7, 2006. These
regulations apply to new and existing
magnetic tape manufacturing operations
located at major sources of hazardous
air pollutants (HAP). These magnetic
tape manufacturing operations include
solvent storage tanks, mix preparation
equipment, coating operations, waste
handling devices, and condenser vents
in solvent recovery. New facilities
include those that commenced
construction or reconstruction after the
date of proposal. This information is
being collected to assure compliance
with 40 CFR part 63, subpart EE.
In general, all NESHAP standards
require initial notification reports,
performance tests, and 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:
Magnetic tape manufacturing facilities.
Respondent’s obligation to respond:
Mandatory (40 CFR part 63, subpart EE).
Estimated number of respondents: 4
(total).
Frequency of response: Initially,
quarterly, and semiannually.
Total estimated burden: 2,710 hours
(per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR
1320.3(b).
Total estimated cost: $344,000 (per
year), which includes $35,000 in
PO 00000
Frm 00045
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
annualized capital/startup and/or
operation & maintenance 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 decrease in
burden is due to the more accurate
estimates of existing based on the
information in ECHO. Therefore, this
ICR adjusts the total number of
respondents to 4. The decrease in
respondents also results in a decrease in
responses and operation and
maintenance costs.

related to the registration review case.
For example, the review opened with a
Preliminary Work Plan, for public
comment. A Final Work Plan was
placed in the docket following public
comment on the Preliminary Work Plan.
The documents in the dockets
describe EPA’s rationales for conducting
additional risk assessments for the
registration review of the pesticides
included in the table in Unit IV, as well
as the Agency’s subsequent risk findings
and consideration of possible risk
mitigation measures. These proposed
interim registration review decisions are
supported by the rationales included in
those documents. Following public
comment, the Agency will issue interim
or final registration review decisions for
the pesticides listed in the table in Unit
IV.
The registration review final rule at 40
CFR 155.58(a) provides for a minimum
60-day public comment period on all
proposed interim registration review
decisions. This comment period is
intended to provide an opportunity for
public input and a mechanism for
initiating any necessary amendments to
the proposed interim decision. All
comments should be submitted using
the methods in ADDRESSES and must be
received by EPA on or before the closing
date. These comments will become part
of the docket for the pesticides included
in the Table in Unit IV. Comments
received after the close of the comment
period will be marked ‘‘late.’’ EPA is not
required to consider these late
comments.
The Agency will carefully consider all
comments received by the closing date
and may provide a ‘‘Response to
Comments Memorandum’’ in the
docket. The interim registration review
decision will explain the effect that any
comments had on the interim decision

II. Background
Registration review is EPA's periodic review of pesticide
registrations to ensure that each pesticide continues to satisfy the
statutory standard for registration, that is, the pesticide can perform
its intended function without unreasonable adverse effects on human
health or the environment. As part of the registration review process,
the Agency has completed proposed interim decisions for all pesticides

III. Authority
EPA is conducting its registration review of the chemicals listed
in the Table in Unit IV pursuant to section 3(g) of the Federal
Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) and the Procedural
Regulations for Registration Review at 40 CFR part 155, subpart C.
Section 3(g) of FIFRA provides, among other things, that the
registrations of pesticides are to be reviewed every 15 years. Under
FIFRA, a pesticide product may be registered or remain registered only
if it meets the statutory standard for registration given in FIFRA
section 3(c)(5) (7 U.S.C. 136a(c)(5)). When used in accordance with
widespread and commonly recognized practice, the pesticide product must
perform its intended function without unreasonable adverse effects on
the environment; that is, without any unreasonable risk to man or the
environment, or a human dietary risk from residues that result from the
use of a pesticide in or on food.

The registration review docket for a pesticide includes earlier
documents related to the registration review case. For example, the
review opened with a Preliminary Work Plan, for public comment. A Final
Work Plan was placed in the docket following public comment on the
Preliminary Work Plan.
The documents in the dockets describe EPA's rationales for
conducting additional risk assessments for the registration review of
the pesticides included in the table in Unit IV, as well as the
Agency's subsequent risk findings and consideration of possible risk
mitigation measures. These proposed interim registration review
decisions are supported by the rationales included in those documents.
Following public comment, the Agency will issue interim or final
registration review decisions for the pesticides listed in the table in
Unit IV.
The registration review final rule at 40 CFR 155.58(a) provides for
a minimum 60-day public comment period on all proposed interim
registration review decisions. This comment period is intended to
provide an opportunity for public input and a mechanism for initiating
any necessary amendments to the proposed interim decision. All comments
should be submitted using the methods in ADDRESSES and must be received
by EPA on or before the closing date. These comments will become part
of the docket for the pesticides included in the Table in Unit IV.
Comments received after the close of the comment period will be marked
``late.'' EPA is not required to consider these late comments.
The Agency will carefully consider all comments received by the
closing date and may provide a ``Response to Comments Memorandum'' in
the docket. The interim registration review decision will explain the
effect that any comments had on the interim decision and provide the
Agency's response to significant comments.
Background on the registration review program is provided at:
