ACTION: Notice. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: In compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), this notice announces that the Information Collection Request (ICR) abstracted below has been forwarded to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and comment. The [[Page 65322]] ICR describes the nature of the information collection and its expected cost and burden; where appropriate, it includes the actual data collection instrument. DATES: Comments must be submitted on or before January 18, 1996. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION OR A COPY CALL: Sandy Farmer at EPA, (202) 260- 2740, and refer to EPA ICR No. 1100.08. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title: National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutant (OMB Control No. 2060-0191; EPA ICR No. 1100.08). ``This is a request for extension of a currently approved collection.'' Abstract: On December 15, 1989 pursuant to Section 112 of the Clean Air Act as amended in 1977 (42 U.S.C. 1857), the Environmental Protection Agency promulgated NESHAPs to control Radionuclide emissions from several source categories. The regulations were published in 54 FR 51653, and are codified at 40 CFR Subparts B, H, I, K, R, T, and W, and imposes the following radionuclide dose and emission standards: Subpart B--Underground Uranium Mines 10 mrem/yr Subpart H--Department of Energy 10 mrem/yr, 20 pci/m \2\-s Subpart I--Non-DOE not licensed by NRC 10 mrem/yr, 3 mrem/yr; iodine Subpart I--Licensed by NRC 10 mrem/yr, 3 mrem/yr iodine Subpart K--Elemental Phosphorous 2 curies/yr Subpart R--Phosphogypsum Stacks 20 pci/m \2\-s Subparts T and W--Uranium Mill Tailings Piles 20 pci/m \2\-s Information collected is used by EPA to ensure that public health continues to be protected from the hazards of airborne radionuclides by compliance with these. If the information were not collected, it is unlikely that violation of the standards would be identified and no corrective action would be initiated to bring the facilities back into compliance. Compliance is demonstrated through emission testing and/or dose calculation. Results are submitted to EPA Regional office annually or when required for verification of compliance and maintained for a period of 5 years. An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. The OMB control numbers for EPA's regulations are listed in 40 CFR Part 9 and 48 CFR Chapter 15. The Federal Register Notice required under 5 CFR 1320.8(d), soliciting comments on this collection of information was published on 08/25/95 (FR Doc. 95-21169). Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and Record keeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 31 hours per response. Burden means the total time, effort, or financial resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or disclose or provide information to or for a Federal agency. This includes the time needed to review instructions; develop, acquire, install, and utilize technology and systems for the purposes of collecting, validating, and verifying information, processing and maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information; adjust the existing ways to comply with any previously applicable instructions and requirements; train personnel to be able to respond to a collection of information; search data sources; complete and review the collection of information; and transmit or otherwise disclose the information. Respondents/Affected Entities: 6112. Estimated Number of Respondents: 412. Frequency of Responses: Annually or less than annually. Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 188,708 hours. Estimated Total Annualized Cost Burden: $1,758,559. Send comments on the Agency's need for this information, the accuracy of the provided burden estimates, and any suggested methods for minimizing respondent burden, including through the use of automated collection techniques to the following addresses. Please refer to EPA ICR No. 1100.08 and OMB Control No. 2060-0191 in any correspondence.
