Agency Information Collection Activities: Submission for OMB
Review; Comment Request; NESHAP for Beryllium Rocket Motor Firing
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: In compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501
et seq.), this document announces that the following Information
Collection Request (ICR) has been forwarded to the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) for review and approval: National Emission Standards
for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Beryllium Rocket Motor Firing (part
61, subpart D), EPA #1125.02, OMB Control Number being requested. The
ICR describes the nature of the information collection and its expected
burden and cost; where appropriate, it includes the actual data
collection instrument.
DATES: Comments must be submitted on or before September 10, 1998.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For a copy of the ICR, call Sandy
Farmer at EPA, by phone at (202) 260-2740, by E-Mail at

www.epa.gov/icr/icr.htm, and refer to EPA ICR No. 1125.02.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: NESHAP for Beryllium Rocket Motor Firing (subpart D) OMB
Control Number to be assigned, EPA ICR Number 1125.02. This is a
request for reinstatement of a previously approved collection.
Abstract: The purpose of this rule is to control emissions of
beryllium from beryllium rocket motor firing, through the controlled
firing of the rockets and containment of the beryllium. Beryllium is a
hazardous air pollutant and the standards rely on the capture and
reduction of beryllium emissions or controlled firing so that a minimum
ambient air standard is met. Notifications from the source inform the
EPA when a rocket motor firing is planned. Inspections and test reports
allow the agency to check compliance with the standards. The
information generated by monitoring, record keeping and reporting is
used by the EPA to ensure that the facility affected continues to
operate in accordance with the standards.
This is a reinstatement of a NESHAP rule that had previous lapsed.
Under sections 40 CFR 61.40 TO 61.44, information collection is
mandatory. The required information consists of emissions data and
other information that have been determined not to be private. However,
any information submitted to the agency for which a claim of
confidentiality is made will be safeguarded according to the Agency
policies set forth in Title 40, Chapter 1, part 2, subpart B--
Confidentiality of Business Information (see 40 CFR 2; 41 FR 36902,
September 1, 1976; amended by 43 FR 40000, September 8, 1978; 43 FR
42251, September 20, 1978; 44 FR 17674, March 23, 1979).

regulations are listed in 40 CFR part 9 and 48 CFR Chapter 15. The
Federal Register document required under 5 CFR 1320.8(d), soliciting
comments on this collection of information was published on 3/5/97 (43

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: Test site operators of Beryllium
Rocket Motor Fuel Firings.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 1.
Frequency of Response: once per test firing in 3 years. (1/3).
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 8.33 hours/year.
Estimated Total Annualized Cost Burden: 0.
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
