Information Collection Request Submitted to OMB for Review and Approval; Comment Request; NESHAP for Epoxy Resin and Non-Nylon Polyamide Production (Renewal), 11293-11294 [2021-03793]

Currently only case studies are available documenting how secondary treatment plants can reduce nutrient discharges through enhanced operation and maintenance procedures. This study would provide statistically representative data on improved nutrient removal by secondary treatment plants resulting from changes in operation and maintenance. This study would help States and POTWs agree to and set well-informed and realistic nutrient load reduction targets for wastewater treatment facilities, where appropriate, and provide information on the time and costs needed to make enhancements in operation and maintenance procedures. EPA’s Office of Water is administering the screener questionnaire, which solicits basic facility identification, characterization, and technical information necessary to develop the future detailed questionnaire, to select the sample of secondary treatment plants planned for subsequent phases of the study, and to select POTWs where future influent and effluent sampling could be conducted to document performance. The screener questionnaire is a one-time data collection. EPA would prepare a separate ICR for the subsequent phases of the study after the screener questionnaire data collection is completed and the sample frame for the subsequent phases is developed. EPA is limiting the information requested by the screener questionnaire to that which is necessary to identify the complete population of POTWs and to identify basic information about that population. Questions include those necessary to identify and stratify the universe of POTWs and, within that population, the secondary treatment POTWs not designed specifically to remove nitrogen and phosphorus. The screener is user-friendly and makes use of multiple choice, yes/no questions, drop down menus, and checkboxes from which respondents will choose the best answer. EPA did not include openended questions to minimize burden on respondents and to assist in compiling the data. A copy of the screener questionnaire is available at Docket ID No. EPA–HQ–OW–2016–0404 as part of this request for comments (see SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section of this document for further information). EPA designed the screener questionnaire as a web-based survey that POTWs can fill out and submit online. Accordingly, a separate signed certification form is not required. A hard copy of the screener questionnaire VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:21 Feb 23, 2021 Jkt 253001 was mailed to POTWs upon request. A hard copy was also provided to POTWs in small communities where they cannot readily access the internet. In this renewal EPA proposes three revisions to the currently approved screener questionnaire ICR and supporting statement. First, EPA has reduced the maximum number of respondents from 16,500 to 15,000. This reflects the 1,500 survey responses already received as of October 30, 2020. Second, EPA has made minor clarifying edits to the survey questions such as providing additional examples of certain technology classifications. Third, EPA is revising the respondent burden estimates. The original average burden estimate assumed it would take one hour to complete the registration process and three hours to complete the full questionnaire. EPA reviewed start and end dates and times associated with questionnaires submitted online and found that the average time to complete the long version of the online questionnaire was 1.1 hours and the time to complete the short version was 26 minutes. EPA revised the average burden to 2.25 hours for the questionnaire and 15 minutes for registration (Questionnaire Section A) based on this information. EPA solicits comment on these proposed changes. EPA is also soliciting comments on EPA’s approach to refining the mailing list of POTWs, and has made a draft list available in the Docket (see SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section of this document for further information). Form Numbers: None. Respondents/affected entities: Entities potentially affected by this action are approximately 15,000 POTWs that meet the definition under 40 CFR 403.3(q), 50 POTWs for site visits, and 100 state and/ or small municipal association contacts. Respondent’s obligation to respond: Voluntary. Estimated number of respondents: 12,000 (total). Frequency of response: One-time data collection. Total estimated burden: 29,980 hours (over 3 years). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.03(b). Total estimated cost: $1,496,981 (over 3 years), includes zero annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs. Changes in Estimates: There is decrease of 37,180 hours in the total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently approved by OMB. This decrease is due to screener questionnaire responses already received, reduced number of total respondents, and replacement of EPA’s estimated respondent burdens with the PO 00000 Frm 00077 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 11293 actual time respondents took to complete the screener questionnaire.

Abstract: Owners and operators of affected facilities are required to comply with reporting and recordkeeping requirements for the General Provisions (40 CFR part 63, subpart A), as well as the applicable standards at 40 CFR part 63, subpart W. 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 EPA to determine compliance with these standards. Form Numbers: None. Respondents/affected entities: Epoxy resin and non-nylon polyamide resin production facilities. Respondent’s obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 63, subpart W). Estimated number of respondents: 7 (total). Frequency of response: Initially, quarterly, and semiannually. Total estimated burden: 3,940 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b). Total estimated cost: $476,000 (per year), which includes $14,000 in annualized capital/startup and/or operation & maintenance costs. Changes in the Estimates: There is no increase in burden from the most recently approved ICR as currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved Burdens. This is due to two considerations: (1) The regulations have not changed over the past three years, and they are not anticipated to change over the next three years; (2) the growth rate for this industry is either very low or non-existent, so there is no significant change in the overall burden. However, there is a slight increase in costs. The operation and maintenance (O&M) costs have been updated from 1998 dollars to 2019 dollars using the CEPCI CE Index. FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION Granting of Requests for Early Termination of the Waiting Period Under the Premerger Notification Rules Section 7A of the Clayton Act, 15 U.S.C. 18a, as added by Title II of the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, requires persons contemplating certain mergers or acquisitions to give the Federal Trade Commission and the Assistant Attorney General advance notice and to wait designated periods before consummation of such plans. Section 7A(b)(2) of the Act permits the agencies, in individual cases, to terminate this waiting period prior to its expiration and requires that notice of this action be published in the Federal Register. The following transactions were granted early termination—on the dates indicated—of the waiting period provided by law and the premerger notification rules. The listing for each transaction includes the transaction number and the parties to the transaction. The Federal Trade Commission and the Assistant Attorney General for the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice made the grants. Neither agency intends to take any action with respect to these proposed acquisitions during the applicable waiting period. Courtney Kerwin, Director, Regulatory Support Division.
