Respondents/affected entities: Pressure sensitive tape and label surface coating operations. Respondent’s obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 60, subpart RR). Estimated number of respondents: 48 (total). Frequency of response: Semiannual. Total estimated burden: 4,530 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b). Total estimated cost: $636,000 (per year), which includes $93,400 in annualized capital/srartup and/or operation & maintenance costs.

Abstract: The New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for Ammonium Sulfate Manufacturing Plants (40 CFR part 60, subpart PP) were proposed on February 4, 1980, promulgated on November 12, 1980, and amended on October 17, 2000. These regulations apply to ammonium sulfate dryers located at both existing and new ammonium sulfate manufacturing plants in the caprolactam by-product, synthetic, and coke oven by-products sectors of the ammonium sulfate manufacturing industry. 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 60, subpart PP. In general, all NSPS 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 E:\FR\FM\09SEN1.SGM 09SEN1 55428 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 174 / Friday, September 9, 2022 / Notices 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 NSPS. Form Numbers: None. Respondents/affected entities: Ammonium sulfate manufacturing facilities in the caprolactam by-product, synthetic, and coke oven by-products sectors of the ammonium sulfate manufacturing industry. Respondent’s obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 60, subpart PP). Estimated number of respondents: 2 (total). Frequency of response: Initially and semiannually. Total estimated burden: 286 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b). Total estimated cost: $34,300 (per year), which includes $0 in annualized capital/startup and/or operation & maintenance costs. Changes in the Estimates: There is no change in burden from the mostrecently 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 are not anticipated to change over the next three years; and (2) the growth rate for this industry is very low or nonexistent, so there is no significant change in the overall burden. Since there are no changes in the regulatory requirements and there is no significant industry growth, there are also no changes in the capital/startup or operation and maintenance (O&M) costs.

The telephone number for the Docket Center is 202–566–1744. For additional information about EPA’s public docket, visit https://www.epa.gov/ dockets. Abstract: This information collection request will allow EPA to employ a contractor to compile data from private companies providing compliance testing to owners of federally regulated underground storage tank systems (USTs). The completed dataset of test results will allow EPA to evaluate the effectiveness of several of the newly required measures to prevent fuel releases included in the 2015 federal UST regulation: spill containment liquid tightness testing, containment sump liquid tightness testing (for containment sumps used for interstitial monitoring of piping of single-wall construction), overfill equipment inspections, and two types of annual leak detection equipment testing. EPA is interested in quantitatively assessing if passing rates improve between initial and subsequent rounds of testing in the 15 states from which data will be collected. EPA will use the data to identify if, and by how much, testing required by the regulation impacts equipment performance over time. EPA will use this information to enhance national UST program performance. EPA will share the information gathered from this collection with all state implementing agencies, who could use the results to better inform their future regulations, policies, and guidance for preventing UST releases. Sharing this information will help states implement their programs better, which will help EPA execute national UST program goals and better protect human health and the environment. Form Numbers: None. Respondents/affected entities: UST testing and compliance companies, UST facility owners and operators. Respondent’s obligation to respond: Voluntary. Estimated number of respondents: 60. Frequency of response: One-time collection. Total estimated burden: 1,275 hours per year. Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.03(b). Total estimated cost: $53,398.75 (per year), includes $0 annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs. E:\FR\FM\09SEN1.SGM 09SEN1

during which the monitoring system is inoperative. These notifications,

required of all affected facilities subject to NSPS.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Ammonium sulfate manufacturing 
facilities in the caprolactam by-product, synthetic, and coke oven by-
products sectors of the ammonium sulfate manufacturing industry.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 60,

    Estimated number of respondents: 2 (total).
    Frequency of response: Initially and semiannually.
    Total estimated burden: 286 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 
5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $34,300 (per year), which includes $0 in 
annualized capital/startup and/or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is no change 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 are not 
anticipated to change over the next three years; and (2) the growth 
rate for this industry is very low or non-existent, so there is no 
significant change in the overall burden. Since there are no changes in 
the regulatory requirements and there is no significant industry 
growth, there are also no changes in the capital/startup or operation 
and maintenance (O&M) costs.
