Abstract: The NESHAP for Polyether Polyols Production (40 CFR part 63, subpart PPP) were proposed on September 4, 1997; promulgated on June 1, 1999; and amended on March 27, 2014. These regulations apply to both new and existing facilities that engage in the manufacture of polyether polyols (including polyether mono-ols) and emit hazardous air pollutants (HAPs). Owners or operators of polyether polyols production facilities to which this regulation applies must either choose one of the compliance options described in the rule or install and monitor a specific control system that reduces HAP emissions to the compliance level. Respondents are also subject to sections of 40 CFR part 63, subpart A. New facilities include those that commenced construction, modification, or reconstruction after the date of proposal. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 63, subpart PPP. 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 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.

Changes in the Estimates: There is no change in the labor hours in this ICR compared to the previous ICR. This is due to two considerations. First, the regulations have not changed over the past three years and are not anticipated to change over the next three years. Secondly, the growth rate for the industry is very low, negative or nonexistent, so there is no significant change in the overall burden. Courtney Kerwin, Director, Regulatory Support Division.

Abstract: The purpose of this ICR is to help provide data for EPA’s risk evaluations and risk management of existing chemicals under TSCA section 6 more efficiently and effectively. Under TSCA, EPA must gather information with sufficient detail about chemicals, including hazards, conditions of use, exposures, potentially exposed and susceptible subpopulations, health and environmental effects, benefits, reasonably ascertainable economic consequences, alternatives, and other information in a timely fashion to meet TSCA’s statutory timeframes. Therefore, EPA is requesting approval for a generic ICR to conduct interviews and focus groups of respondents described below related to information collection for TSCA chemical risk evaluation and management. This research would consist of open-ended structured discussions or interviews with individuals or small groups of individuals, and therefore can provide in-depth information. Data collected under this generic clearance may be used in several ways during the risk evaluation and risk management processes, including establishing generic scenarios, developing models of various conditions of use of chemicals evaluated under TSCA or their alternatives, pretesting survey questions, and providing important context for publicly available information already available to EPA. EPA would not collect information of a sensitive or private nature. However, respondents may claim information submitted as part of an interview or focus group as confidential. EPA generally treats this information as obtained under TSCA, such that confidentiality claims are subject to the provisions of TSCA section 14. Respondents/Affected Entities: Entities potentially affected by this ICR include chemical manufacturers (as long as the information requested does not duplicate information already in possession of the federal government), chemical users (including government agencies), processors, recyclers, chemical waste handlers, consumers of chemical-containing products, employees who may be exposed to the chemical evaluated, state and local regulators, non-governmental E:\FR\FM\04JNN1.SGM 04JNN1
