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.
This information is being collected to
assure compliance with 40 CFR part 63,
subpart HHHHH.
Form Numbers: None.
Respondents/affected entities: These
regulations apply to new and existing
facilities that: (1) Manufacture a
miscellaneous coating (including inks,
paints, or adhesives described by
Standard Industrial Classification (SIC)
codes 285 or 289, or North American
Industrial Classification System
(NAICS) codes 3255 or 3259); (2) are
either located at, or are part of, major
sources of hazardous air pollutant
(HAP) emissions; (3) process, use, or
produce HAP, and (4) are not part of an
affected source under another subpart of
40 CFR part 63.
Respondent’s obligation to respond:
Mandatory (40 CFR part 63, subpart
HHHHH).
Estimated number of respondents: 43
(total).
Frequency of response: Semiannually.
Total estimated burden: 54,600 hours
(per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR
1320.3(b).
Total estimated cost: $7,240,000 (per
year), which includes $907,000 in
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. A decrease in the number of
respondent resulted in a decrease in the
number of responses, hours and costs.

Abstract: Section 112(r) of the Clean
Air Act (CAA) 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 those 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, which
requires that sources with more than a
threshold quantity of a regulated
substance in a process develop,
implement, and submit a risk
management plan to EPA. EPA uses risk
management plans to conduct oversight
of regulated sources, and to
communicate information concerning
them to federal, state, and local agencies
and the public, as appropriate.
The burden to sources that are
currently covered by 40 CFR part 68 for
initial rule compliance, including rule
familiarization and program
implementation, was accounted for in
previous ICRs. The term ‘‘source’’ refers
to a ‘‘stationary source,’’ which is the
Clean Air Act term for facility. This
information collection covers sources
submitting an RMP update to comply
with its five-year compliance deadline
within this ICR period, sources that
revised and resubmitted their RMPs
between the five-year deadlines because
of changes occurring at the source that
triggered an earlier resubmission, and
sources that have been assigned a
different deadline in 2020, 2021 or 2022
based on the date of their most recent
submission. In addition, this ICR
accounts for burden for new sources
that may become subject to the
regulations, sources that have been 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–

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:
13,009.
Frequency of response: Sources must
resubmit RMPs at least every five years
and update certain on-site
documentation more frequently.
Total estimated burden: 66,793 hours
(per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR
1320.03(b).
Total estimated cost: $4,864,537 (per
year), includes $0 annualized capital or
operation & maintenance costs.
Changes in Estimates: This ICR
includes an increase of 12,793 hours in
the total estimated respondent burden
for all sources and states compared to
the ICR currently approved by OMB.
There are two primary reasons for this
increase in burden. First, this ICR
period includes a larger number of
RMPs reported than the previous ICR
period. Second, the burden varies from
ICR to ICR due to different resubmission
deadlines based on the sources’ RMP resubmission deadlines and other
regulatory deadlines. Therefore, the
burden changes each year depending on
how many sources are required to
submit their RMP and comply with
certain prevention program
requirements. The number of sources
subject to the regulations fluctuates
regularly and is lower in this ICR than
the previous ICR. However, any
decrease in burden caused by the lower
number of sources is offset by the
increased burden from the major RMP
reporting year.

Abstract: Section 126(f) of the
Superfund Amendments and
Reauthorization Act of 1986 (SARA)
requires EPA to set worker protection
standards for state and local employees
engaged in hazardous waste operations
and emergency response in the 27 states
that do not have Occupational Safety
and Health Administration approved
state plans. The EPA coverage, as cited
in 40 CRF 311, required to be identical
to the OSHA standards, extends to three
categories of employees: Those engaged
in clean-ups at uncontrolled hazardous
waste sites, including corrective actions
at Treatment, Storage and Disposal
(TSD) facilities regulated under the
Resource Conservation and Recovery
Act (RCRA); employees working on
routine hazardous waste operations at
RCRA TSD facilities; and employees
involved in emergency response
operations without regard to location.
This ICR renews existing mandatory
record keeping collection of ongoing
activities including monitoring of any
potential employee exposure at
uncontrolled hazardous waste sites,
maintaining records of employee
training, refresher training, medical
exams and reviewing emergency
response plans.
Form Numbers: None.
Respondents/affected entities: Entities
potentially affected by this action are
those state and local employees engaged
in hazardous waste operations and
emergency response in the 27 states that
do not have Occupational Health &
Safety Administration (OSHA) approved
state plans.
Respondent’s Obligation to respond:
40 CFR 311 has no reporting
requirements. There are record keeping
requirements by inference in Section (e)
and by statute in Section (f)[8] of
OSHA’s 29 CFR 1910.120.
Estimated total number of
respondents: 1,115,213.
Frequency of response: Varies per
activity.
Estimated total annual burden hours:
591,732 hours.
Estimated total annual costs:
$18,534,441, which is entirely labor
costs. There are no capital investment or
maintenance and operational costs.
Changes in Estimates: For this ICR,
the annual burden hour estimate is
591,732 hours. This represents an
increase in 336,255 hours from the
previous ICR. There have been no
programmatic changes or modifications
to per-activity estimates; the burden
increase is a result of corrections being

Changes in Estimates: This ICR includes an increase of 12,793 hours
in the total estimated respondent burden for all sources and states
compared to the ICR currently approved by OMB.
There are two primary reasons for this increase in burden. First,
this ICR period includes a larger number of RMPs reported than the
previous ICR period. Second, the burden varies from ICR to ICR due to
different resubmission deadlines based on the sources' RMP re-
submission deadlines and other regulatory deadlines. Therefore, the
burden changes each year depending on how many sources are required to
submit their RMP and comply with certain prevention program
requirements. The number of sources subject to the regulations
fluctuates regularly and is lower in this ICR than the previous ICR.
However, any decrease in burden caused by the lower number of sources
is offset by the increased burden from the major RMP reporting year.
