This facility is open from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding Federal holidays and facility closures due to COVID 19. We recommend that you telephone David Ogulei, Environmental Engineer, at (312) 353–0987 before visiting the Region 5 office. II. What is the background information? The 1990 amendments to the CAA established a comprehensive air quality permit program under the authority of Title V of the CAA. Title V requires certain facilities that emit large amounts of air pollution, or that meet other specified criteria, to obtain an operating permit, known as a Title V permit, after the source has begun to operate. This permit is an enforceable compilation of all enforceable terms, conditions and limitations that are applicable to the source and is designed to improve compliance by clarifying what facilities must do to control air pollution. EPA regulations implementing Title V are codified at 40 CFR part 71 for permits issued by EPA or its delegatees and at 40 CFR part 70 for permits issued by states and local agencies pursuant to approved programs. A Title V permit is valid for no more than five years and may be renewed in five-year term increments. EPA issued the initial Title V permit to Veolia on September 12, 2008 pursuant to 40 CFR part 71. Veolia operates a hazardous waste treatment, storage and disposal facility in Sauget, Illinois. At the facility, containers and bulk shipments of hazardous and solid wastes are received, analyzed and transferred to temporary storage facilities, processed and incinerated in one of three combustion units. On June 17, 2019, EPA renewed Veolia’s Title V permit for a new fiveyear term. See Title V Permit to Operate No. V–IL–1716300103–2014–10, Docket ID. EPAR05OAR2014–0280 to Veolia on June 17, 2019 under 40 CFR part 71. By its own terms, and consistent with 40 CFR 71.11(i)(2), most provisions of the renewal permit became effective on July 18, 2019. On July 17, 2019, the American Bottom Conservancy petitioned the EPA’s Environmental Appeals Board (EAB) to review certain terms and conditions of the June 2019 Title V permit. Consequently, consistent with 40 CFR 71.11(i)(2)(ii), the effective date of the contested terms and conditions of the permit was delayed. On July 21, 2020, the EAB denied the petition for VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:16 Aug 27, 2020 Jkt 250001 review. See In re Veolia ES Technical Solutions, L.L.C., CAA Appeal No. 19– 01 (EAB, July 21, 2020), 18 E.A.D. (Order Denying Review). Following the EAB’s action, pursuant to 40 CFR 71.11(l)(5)(i), EPA issued a final permit decision as to the contested portions of the permit on August 10, 2020. All contested conditions of Title V Permit No. V–IL–1716300103–2014– 10, as issued by EPA on June 17, 2019, were therefore final and effective as of August 10, 2020. Except as provided in the permit, the final Title V permit will expire on July 18, 2024. Authority: 42 U.S.C. 7401 et seq. Dated: August 24, 2020. Kurt Thiede, Regional Administrator, Region 5.

Abstract: This ICR covers the information collection activities associated with the pesticide container design and residue removal requirements and containment structure requirements. With respect to the container design and residue removal requirements, the information collection activities are associated with the requirement that businesses subject to the container regulations (pesticide registrants) and repackaging regulations (pesticide registrants and refillers) PO 00000 Frm 00052 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 maintain records of test data, cleaning procedures, certain data when a container is refilled, and other supporting information. These records are subject to both call-in by EPA and on-site inspection by EPA and its representatives. EPA has not established a regular schedule for the collection of these records, and there is no reporting. With respect to the containment structure requirements, the information collection activities are associated with the requirement that businesses subject to the containment structure regulations maintain records of the: (1) Monthly inspection and maintenance of each containment structure and all stationary bulk containers; (2) Duration over which non-stationary bulk containers holding pesticide and not protected by a secondary containment unit remain at the same location; and (3) Construction date of the containment structure. The businesses subject to the containment structure regulations include agrichemical retailers and refilling establishments, custom blenders and commercial applicators of agricultural pesticides. The records have to be maintained by the owners and operators of such businesses and made available to inspectors to ensure that businesses are in compliance with containment requirements. These inspections are generally conducted by the states, which enforce FIFRA regulations through cooperative agreements with EPA. Form Numbers: None. Respondents/Affected Entities: Pesticide registrants and businesses who formulate pesticide products or pesticide formulation intermediates (NAICS code 325320), farm supply wholesalers (NAICS code 422910), swimming pool applicators (NAICS code 561790, 453998 and 235990), and agricultural (aerial and ground) commercial applicators (NAICS code 115112). Respondent’s obligation to respond: Mandatory under sections 3, 8, 19, 25 of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) (7 U.S.C. 136f, 136q, and 136w). Estimated number of respondents: 23,586 (total). Frequency of response: On occasion. Total estimated burden: 180,763 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b). Total estimated costs: $ 9,033,656 (per year), includes $335,900 annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs. Changes in the estimates: There is an increase of 11,103 hours in the total estimated respondent burden compared with that identified in the ICR currently E:\FR\FM\28AUN1.SGM 28AUN1
