ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

[FRL-7235-5]


Agency Information Collection Activities: Request for Comments on 
Twenty-Two Proposed Information Collection Requests (ICRs)

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 EPA is planning to submit the 
twenty-two continuing Information Collection Requests (ICRs) listed in 
Section A of this notice to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). 
Before submitting the ICRs to OMB for review and approval, EPA is 
soliciting comments on specific aspects of the information collections 
as described at the beginning of the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION provided 
in this notice.

DATES: Comments must be submitted on or before August 19, 2002.

ADDRESSES: Compliance Assessment and Media Programs Division, Office of 
Compliance, Office of Enforcement and Compliance Assurance, Mail Code 
2223A, United States Environmental Protection Agency, 1200 Pennsylvania 
Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20460. A hard copy of a specific ICR may be 
obtained without charge by calling the identified information contact 
person listed in Section B under SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For specific information on an 
individual ICR, contact the person listed in Section B under 
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

For All ICRs

    An Agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required 
to respond to, a collection information unless it displays a currently 
valid OMB control number. The OMB control numbers for EPA's regulations 
are displayed in 40 CFR part 9.
    The EPA would like to solicit comments to:
    (i) Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is 
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the Agency, 
including whether the information will have practical utility;
    (ii) Evaluate the accuracy of the Agency's estimate of the burden 
of the proposed collection of information;
    (iii) Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information 
to be collected; and
    (iv) Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those 
who respond through the use of automated, electronic, mechanical, or 
other forms of information technology.
    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.
    In the absence of such information collection requirements, 
enforcement personnel would be unable to determine whether the 
standards are being met on a continuous basis, as required by the Clean 
Air Act. Consequently, these information collection requirements are 
mandatory, and the records required by New Source Performance Standards 
(NSPS) and Federal Plan Requirements (FPR) must be retained by the 
owner or operator for at least two years; records required by the 
National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) must 
be retained by the owner or operator for at least five years; and the 
records required by the NESHAP Maximum Achievable Control Technology 
standards (NESHAP-MACT) must be retained by the owner or operator for 
at least five years. In general, the required information consists of 
emissions data and other information deemed 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 part 2; 41 FR 
36902, September 1, 1976; amended by 43 FR 39999, September 8, 1978; 43 
FR 42251, September 28, 1978; 44 FR 17674, March 2, 1979).
    The Agency computed the burden for each of the recordkeeping and 
reporting requirements applicable to the industry for the currently 
approved ICRs. Where applicable, the Agency identified specific tasks 
and made assumptions, while being consistent with the concept of the 
Paper Work Reduction Act.

Section A: List of ICRs To Be Submitted for OMB Review and Approval

Section C: Summaries of Individual ICRs

    (1) NSPS subpart HH: NSPS for Lime Manufacturing (40 CFR part 60, 
subpart HH); EPA ICR Number 1167.07; OMB Control Number 2060-0063; 
expiration date January 31, 2003.
    Affected Entities: Entities potentially affected by this action are 
rotary lime kilns located at lime manufacturing plants subject to the 
standards at 40 CFR part 60, subpart HH for which construction, 
modification, or reconstruction commenced after May 3, 1977.
    Abstract: The Administrator has determined that particulate matter 
from lime manufacturing cause, or contribute significantly to air 
pollution that may reasonably be anticipated to endanger public health 
or welfare. Owners and operators of the affected facilities described 
must make the following one-time-only reports: Notification of the date 
of construction or reconstruction; notification of the anticipated and 
actual startup dates; notification of any physical or operational 
changes to an existing facility which may increase the regulated 
pollutant emission rate; notification of the demonstration of the 
continuous monitoring system (CMS); notification of the date of the 
initial performance test; and the results of the initial performance 
test.
    Owners and operators are also required to maintain 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.
    Owners and operators of rotary kilns using a control device with 
multiple stack exhaust or roof monitor may instead monitor visible 
emissions at least once a day by a certified observer using EPA Method 
9. Owners or operators of affected facilities using a wet scrubber 
emission control device shall install, calibrate, maintain, and operate 
a continuous monitoring device which monitors the pressure loss of the 
gas stream through the scrubber, and a continuous monitoring device 
which monitors the scrubbing liquid supply pressure to the control 
device.
    Semiannual excess emissions reports and monitoring system 
performance reports shall include all six-minute periods during which 
the average opacity of the visible emissions from any lime kiln is 
greater than 15% or for wet scrubbers, any period in which the scrubber 
pressure drop is greater than 30% below the rate established during the 
performance test, and reports of the visible emissions; the date and 
time of

[[Page 41984]]

the exceedance or deviance; the nature and the cause of the malfunction 
and corrective measures taken; and identification of the time period 
during which the CMS was inoperative.
    Burden Statement: In the previously approved ICR, the estimated 
number of respondents for this information collection was 49 with 102 
responses per year. The annual industry reporting and recordkeeping 
burden for this collection of information was 4,190 hours. On the 
average, each respondent reported approximately two times per year and 
41 hours were spent preparing each response. The total annual reporting 
and recordkeeping cost burden for this collection of information was 
$95,000. This included an annual cost of $22,000 associated with 
capital/startup costs and $73,000 associated with the annual operation 
and maintenance costs.
    (2) NSPS subpart I: NSPS for Hot Mix Asphalt Facilities (40 CFR 
part 60, subpart I); EPA ICR Number 1127.07; OMB Control Number 2060-
0083; expiration date January 31, 2003.
    Affected Entities: Entities potentially affected by this action are 
hot mix asphalt facilities subject to 40 CFR part 60, subpart I and 
include the following processes: Dryers; systems for screening, 
handling, storing, and weighing hot aggregate; systems for loading, 
transferring, and storing mineral filler; systems for mixing hot 
asphalt; and the loading, transfer and storage systems associated with 
emission control systems which commenced construction, modification, or 
reconstruction after June 11, 1973.
    Abstract: The Agency has determined that particulate matter from 
lime manufacturing causes, or contributes significantly to air 
pollution that may reasonably be anticipated to endanger public health 
or welfare. Owners or operators of the affected facilities described 
must make the following one-time-only reports: notification of the date 
of construction or reconstruction; notification of the anticipated and 
actual date of the startup; notification of any physical or operational 
change to an existing facility which may increase the regulated 
pollutant emission rate; and notification of the date of the initial 
performance test including information necessary to determine the 
conditions of the performance test measurements and results, such as 
particulate matter concentration and opacity. Owners or operators are 
also required to maintain records of the occurrence and duration of any 
startup shutdown, or malfunction in the operation of an affected 
facility as well as the nature and cause of the malfunction and 
corrective measures taken.
    Burden Statement: In the previously approved ICR, the estimated 
number of respondents for this information collection was estimated to 
be 3,290 with 200 responses per year. The annual recordkeeping and 
reporting hour burden for this collection was estimated to be 6,890 
hours. On the average, each respondent reported approximately 0.06 
times per year and 34 hours were spent preparing each response. There 
are no capital/startup costs or operation and maintenance costs 
associated with continuous emission monitoring in the previous ICR; 
therefore, there are no capital, or operation and maintenance costs 
associated with this ICR.
    (3) NSPS subpart Ce: Emission Guidelines for Hospital/Medical/
Infectious Waste Incinerators (40 CFR part 60, subpart Ce); EPA ICR 
Number 1899.02; OMB Control Number 2060-0422; expiration date January 
31, 2003.
    Affected Entities: Entities potentially affected by this action are 
owners and operators of hospital/medical/infectious waste incinerators 
(HMIWI) for which construction commenced before June 20, 1996 and 
States and Tribes who develop State or Tribal plans to implement the 
Emission Guidelines.
    Abstract: The Agency has determined that particulate matter, carbon 
monoxide, dioxins/furans, and mercury from hospital/medical/infectious 
waste incinerators cause or contribute to air pollution that may 
reasonably be anticipated to endanger public health or welfare.
    The Emission Guidelines contain monitoring, reporting, and 
recordkeeping requirements that are to be included in State or Tribal 
plans. These requirements differ for HMIWI burning hospital waste and/
or medical/infectious waste; for combustors co-firing hospital waste 
and/or medical/infectious waste with other fuels; and for incinerators 
burning only pathological, low-level radioactive, and/or 
chemotherapeutic waste.
    Owners and operators of HMIWI are required to submit one-time-only 
increments of progress reports showing progress toward meeting the new 
emissions limitations. Owners and operators of HMIWI are also required 
to submit annual and semiannual compliance reports on a variety of 
site-specific operating parameters malfunction episodes, exceedances, 
and performance tests. For small rural HMIWI, an annual report 
containing information recorded during the annual equipment inspection 
is also required. Owners and operators of co-fired combustors are 
required to provide the Administrator with notification reports on an 
exemption claim and report and maintain records on the weight of 
hospital waste and medical/infectious, and other fuels and/or wastes to 
be combusted. Owners and operators of incinerators burning only 
pathological, low-level radioactive, and/or chemotherapeutic waste are 
required to provide notification reports to Administrator of an 
exemption claim.
    The information will be used by the appropriate State, Tribal or 
EPA enforcement official to ensure that the requirements of the State, 
Tribal, or Federal Plan are being implemented on a continuous basis 
through proper operation and maintenance of the emission control 
device. In addition, certain records and reports are necessary to 
enable the Administrator to identify an HMIWI that may not be in 
compliance with the standards.
    Burden Statement: In the previously approved ICR, the estimated 
number of respondents for this information collection was 537 with 
1,146 responses per year. The annual industry reporting and 
recordkeeping burden for this collection of information was 133,404 
hours. On the average, each respondent reported approximately 2.1 times 
per year and 116 hours were spent preparing each response. There are no 
capital/startup costs or operations and maintenance costs associated 
with continuous emission monitoring in the previous ICR; therefore, 
there are no capital, or operation and maintenance costs associated 
with this ICR.
    (4) NSPS subpart DD: New Source Performance Standards for Grain 
Elevators (40 CFR part 60, subpart DD); EPA ICR Number 1130.07; OMB 
Control Number 2060-0082, expiration date January 31, 2003.
    Affected Entities: Potentially affected facilities include each 
truck unloading station, truck loading station, barge and ship 
unloading station, barge and ship loading station, railcar unloading 
station, railcar loading station, grain dryer, and all grain handling 
operations at any grain terminal elevator or any grain storage 
elevator.
    The standards require owners or operators of the affected 
facilities to make the following one-time-only reports: Notification of 
the date of construction or reconstruction; notification of the actual 
date of startup; notification of any physical or operational change to 
an existing facility that may increase the rate of emission of the 
regulated pollutant; notification of the date of the initial 
performance test; and the results of the initial performance test. 
Records must be maintained of the occurrence and

[[Page 41985]]

duration of any startup, shutdown, or malfunction in the operation of 
an affected facility, as well as the nature and cause of the 
malfunction and corrective measures taken.
    Burden Statement: In the previously approved ICR, the estimated 
number of respondents for this information collection was 121 with 121 
responses per year. The annual industry reporting and recordkeeping 
burden for this collection of information was 250 hours. On the 
average, each respondent reported approximately two times per year and 
two hours were spent preparing each response. There are no capital/
startup costs or operations and maintenance costs associated with 
continuous emission monitoring in the previous ICR; therefore, there 
are no capital, or operation and maintenance costs associated with this 
ICR.
    (5) NSPS subpart EE: NSPS for Metal Furniture Coating (40 CFR part 
60, subpart EE); EPA ICR Number 0649.08; OMB Control Number 2060-0106; 
expiration date January 31, 2003.
    Affected Entities: Entities potentially affected by this action are 
each metal furniture surface coating operation in which organic 
coatings are applied. These standards apply to surface coating 
facilities for which construction, modification or reconstruction 
commenced after the date of proposal, November 28, 1980. A surface 
coating operation includes the coating application station(s), flash-
off area, and curing oven.
    Abstract: The Agency has determined that the emissions from surface 
coating operations cause, or contribute significantly to air pollution 
that may reasonably be anticipated to endanger public health or 
welfare. Volatile organic compounds (VOC) are the pollutants regulated 
under this rule. Owners and operators of the affected facilities 
described must make the following one-time only reports: notification 
of the date of construction or reconstruction; notification of the 
anticipated and actual dates of a startup; notification of any physical 
or operational change to an existing facility which may increase the 
regulated pollutant emission rate; notification of the date of the 
initial performance test; and results of the initial performance test. 
Owners or operators are also required to maintain 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.
    Recordkeeping and reporting requirements include the performance 
test results including the type of coating used, and the VOC content. 
The rule requires daily records of temperature if thermal incineration 
is used. For catalytic incineration, daily records of gas stream 
temperature both upstream and downstream are required, or a daily 
record of the quantity of solvent recovered if a solvent recovery 
device is used. Monthly averages are calculated, and any affected 
facility shall report quarterly on any excess emissions, or 
semiannually if no excess emissions occur. Any owner or operator 
subject to the provisions of the rule, shall maintain at the source, 
for a period of at least two years, records of all data calculations 
used to determine monthly VOC emissions from each affected facility and 
to determine the monthly emissions limit, where applicable.
    Burden Statement: In the previously approved ICR, the estimated 
number of respondents for this information collection was 553 with 
1,600 responses per year. The annual industry reporting and 
recordkeeping burden for this collection of information was 101,070 
hours. On the average, each respondent reported approximately 2.9 times 
per year and 63 hours were spent preparing each response. The total 
annual reporting and recordkeeping cost burden for this collection of 
information was $1,120,000. This included an annual cost of $114,000 
associated with capital/startup costs and $1,006,000 associated with 
the annual operation and maintenance costs.
    (6) NSPS subpart RR: NSPS for Pressure Sensitive Tape and Label 
Surface Coating (40 CFR part 60, subpart RR); EPA ICR Number 0658.08; 
OMB Control Number 2060-0004; expiration date January 31, 2003.
    Affected Entities: Entities potentially affected by this action are 
each coating line used in the manufacture of pressure sensitive tape 
and label materials that was construction or commenced reconstruction 
after December 30, 1980.
    Abstract: The Agency has determined that the emissions from 
pressure sensitive tape and label surface coating operations cause, or 
contribute significantly to air pollution that may reasonably be 
anticipated to endanger public health or welfare. Volatile organic 
compounds (VOC) are the pollutants regulated. Under the standards, 
owners and operators of the affected facilities must make the following 
one-time-only reports: notification of the date of construction or 
reconstruction; notification of the anticipated and actual dates of 
initial startup; notification of any physical change to an existing 
facility that may increase the regulated pollutant emission rate; 
notification of initial performance test and the results of the initial 
performance test. Owners or operators are also required to maintain 
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.
    The recordkeeping requirements for the surface coating industry of 
pressure sensitive tape and labels consist of the occurrence and 
duration of any startup and malfunctions as described. They include the 
initial performance test results including information necessary to 
determine conditions of the performance test; performance test 
measurements and results including, for affected facilities complying 
with the standard without the use of add-on controls, a weighted 
average of the mass of solvent used per mass of coating solids applied; 
the weighted average mass of VOC per mass of coating solids applied at 
facilities controlled by a solvent recovery device; the weighted 
average mass of VOC per mass of coating solids applied being used at a 
facility controlled by a solvent destruction device; and the results of 
the monthly performance and records of operating parameters.
    Burden Statement: In the previously approved ICR, the estimated 
number of respondents for this information collection was 410 with 
1,025 responses per year. The annual industry reporting and 
recordkeeping burden for this collection of information was 39,104 
hours. On the average, each respondent reported approximately 2.5 times 
per year and 38 hours were spent preparing each response. The total 
annual reporting and recordkeeping cost burden for this collection of 
information was $1,880,000. This included an annual cost of $240,000 
associated with capital/startup costs and $1,640,000 associated with 
the annual operation and maintenance costs.
    (7) NSPS subpart SS: NSPS for Surface Coating of Large Appliances 
(40 CFR part 60, subpart SS); EPA ICR Number 0659.09; OMB Control 
Number 2060-0108; expiration date January 31, 2003.
    Affected Entities: Entities potentially affected by this action are 
each surface coating operation in a large appliance surface coating 
line commencing construction, modification or reconstruction after 
December 24, 1980.
    Abstract: The Agency has determined that the emissions from large 
appliance surface coating line operations cause, or contribute 
significantly to air pollution that may reasonably be anticipated to 
endanger public health or welfare. Volatile organic compounds (VOC) are

[[Page 41986]]

the pollutants regulated under the standards. Owners or operators of 
the affected facilities described must make the following one-time-only 
reports: notification of the date of construction or reconstruction; 
notification of the anticipated and actual dates of startup; 
notification of any physical or operational change to an existing 
facility which may increase the regulated pollutant emission rate; 
notification of the date of the initial performance test; and results 
of the initial performance test. Owners or operators are also required 
to maintain 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.
    Recordkeeping and reporting requirements include the performance 
test results including the type of coating used, and the VOC content. 
The standards require daily records of temperature if thermal 
incineration is used. For catalytic incineration, daily records of gas 
stream temperature both upstream and downstream are required, or a 
daily record of the quantity of solvent recovered if a solvent recovery 
device is used. Monthly averages are calculated, and any affected 
facility shall report quarterly excess emissions or semiannual reports 
if no excess emissions occur.
    Burden Statement: In the previously approved ICR, the estimated 
number of respondents for this information collection was 294 with 
1,273 responses per year. The annual industry reporting and 
recordkeeping burden for this collection of information was 29,564 
hours. On the average, each respondent reported approximately 4.3 times 
per year and 23 hours were spent preparing each response. The total 
annual reporting and recordkeeping cost burden for this collection of 
information was $618,000. This included an annual cost of $83,000 
associated with capital/startup costs and $535,000 associated with the 
annual operation and maintenance costs.
    (8) NSPS subpart TT: NSPS for Metal Coil Surface Coating (40 CFR 
part 60, subpart TT); EPA ICR Number 0660.08; OMB Control Number 2060-
0107; expiration date January 31, 2003.
    Affected Entities: Entities potentially affected by this standard 
are operations that are part of metal coil coating manufacturing 
including: each prime coat operation; each finish coat operation; and 
each prime and finish coat operation cured simultaneously where the 
finish coat is applied wet-on-wet over the prime coat. These standards 
apply to metal coil surface coating facilities commencing construction, 
modification or reconstruction after January 5, 1981.
    Abstract: The Agency has determined that the emissions from metal 
coil surface coating facilities cause, or contribute significantly to 
air pollution that may reasonably be anticipated to endanger public 
health or welfare. Volatile organic compounds (VOC) are the pollutants 
regulated under the standards. Owners or operators of the affected 
facilities must make the following one-time-only reports: Notification 
of the date of construction or reconstruction; notification of the 
anticipated and actual dates of a startup; notification of any physical 
or operational change to an existing facility which may increase the 
regulated pollutant emission rate; notification of the date of the 
initial performance test; and results of the initial performance test. 
Owners or operators are also required to maintain 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.
    Recordkeeping requirements depend on whether low VOC content 
coatings are used, or higher VOC content coatings are used in 
conjunction with an emission control device. Where compliance is 
achieved through the use of low VOC-content coating without emission 
control devices, or through the use of higher VOC content coating in 
conjunction with emission control devices, each owner or operator shall 
include in the initial compliance report the weighted average of the 
VOC content of coatings used during the period of one calender month 
for each affected facility. Where compliance is achieved using an 
emission control device that destroys VOC, each owner or operator shall 
include in the initial compliance report the overall VOC destruction 
rate used to attain compliance and the combustion temperature of the 
thermal incinerator, or the gas temperature both upstream and 
downstream of the incinerator catalyst bed. The standards also require 
reports of incinerator temperature drop. Affected facilities shall 
report quarterly excess emissions or semiannual reports if no emissions 
occur.
    Burden Statement: In the previously approved ICR, the estimated 
number of respondents for this information collection was 156 with 585 
responses per year. The annual industry reporting and recordkeeping 
burden for this collection of information was 15,335 hours. On the 
average, each respondent reported approximately 3.8 times per year and 
26 hours were spent preparing each response. The total annual reporting 
and recordkeeping cost burden for this collection of information was 
$398,000. This included an annual cost of $114,000 associated with 
capital/startup costs and $284,000 associated with the annual operation 
and maintenance costs.
    (9) NSPS subpart WW: NSPS for Beverage Can Surface Coating (40 CFR 
part 60, subpart WW); EPA ICR Number 0663.08; OMB Control Number 2060-
0001; expiration date January 31, 2003.
    Affected Entities: Entities potentially affected by this action are 
facilities in the beverage can surface coating industry including: each 
exterior base coat operation, each over varnish coating operation, and 
each inside spray coating operation. These standards apply to coating 
facilities commencing construction, modification or reconstruction 
after November 26, 1980.
    Abstract: The Agency has determined that the emissions from 
beverage can surface coating lines cause, or contribute significantly 
to air pollution that may reasonably be anticipated to endanger public 
health or welfare. Volatile organic compounds (VOC) are the pollutants 
regulated under the standards. Owners or operators of the affected 
facilities described must make the following one-time-only reports: 
notification of the date of construction or reconstruction; 
notification of the anticipated and actual dates of a startup; 
notification of any physical or operational change to an existing 
facility which may increase the regulated pollutant emission rate; 
notification of the date of the initial performance test; and results 
of the initial performance test. Owners or operators are also required 
to maintain 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.
    Records must be maintained if the VOC content of coatings is below 
the specified limits. If one or more coatings are used, the volume 
weighted average of the total mass of VOC per volume of coating solids 
must be recorded. When thermal or catalytic incineration is performed, 
the owner shall keep records of each three-hour period during which the 
incinerator temperature averaged more than 28 degrees Celsius below the 
temperature of the most recent performance test at which destruction 
efficiency was determined. The owners or operators shall identify, 
record and submit quarterly reports of each instance in which the 
volume-weighted average of the total mass of VOC per

[[Page 41987]]

volume of coating solids exceeded the standard. If there are no 
exceedances reports shall be submitted semiannually.
    Owners or operators are required to maintain a file of all 
measurements including the monitoring device, and performance testing 
measurements; all monitoring device calibration check adjustments and 
maintenance performed on these systems recorded in a permanent file.
    Burden Statement: In the previously approved ICR, the estimated 
number of respondents for this information collection was 24 with 105 
responses per year. The annual industry reporting and recordkeeping 
burden for this collection of information was 3,092 hours. On the 
average, each respondent reported approximately 4.3 times per year and 
29 hours were spent preparing each response. The total annual reporting 
and recordkeeping cost burden for this collection of information was 
$50,000. This included an annual cost of $6,000 associated with 
capital/startup costs and $44,000 associated with the annual operation 
and maintenance costs.
    (10) NESHAP subpart FF: NESHAP for Benzene Emissions for Benzene 
Waste Operations (40 CFR part 61, subpart FF); EPA ICR Number 1541.07; 
OMB Number 2060-0183; expiration date February 28, 2003.
    Affected Entities: Entities potentially affected by this action are 
benzene waste operations such as chemical manufacturing plants, coke 
by-product recovery plants, and petroleum refineries. Other affected 
entities are those owners and operators of hazardous waste treatment, 
storage, and disposal facilities (TSD) which receive wastes from the 
above facilities.
    Abstract: The Agency has determined that the emissions from benzene 
waste operations cause, or contribute significantly to air pollution 
that may reasonably be anticipated to endanger public health or 
welfare. The provisions of this subpart apply to owners and operators 
of chemical manufacturing plants, coke by-product recovery plants, and 
petroleum refineries. In addition, this standard applies to owners and 
operators of hazardous waste treatment, storage, and disposal 
facilities that treat, store, or dispose of hazardous waste generated 
from the above facilities.
    The calculation of total annual benzene (TAB) quantity in all 
aqueous waste streams determines whether a facility is subject to 
control requirements of the standard. A facility at or above the TAB 
threshold in the rule of 10 megagrams per year (Mg/yr) is required to 
control each benzene waste stream at the facility or demonstrate that 
the waste stream meets a criterion in the rule for exemption from 
control. A facility with a TAB below 10 Mg/yr is only subject to the 
rule's reporting and recordkeeping provisions, unless the facility 
receives a waste from offsite that must be controlled to meet the 
standards in which case that waste must be controlled. A facility with 
a TAB less than 1 Mg/yr is only subject to maintain documentation of 
the quantity of benzene in the waste.
    Owners or operators of the affected facilities described above must 
make the following one-time-only notices or reports: notifications of 
anticipated and actual startup; notification of emission test, report 
following an emission test; notification of any physical/operational 
changes that could increase emissions, a monitoring system performance 
test; and certain reports regarding the monitoring system performance 
test(s).
    Recordkeeping requirements for benzene waste operations include 
maintaining records that identify each waste stream at the facility 
subject to this subpart, and indicate whether the waste stream is 
controlled for benzene emissions in accordance with this standard. In 
addition the owner or operator must maintain the records: (1) For each 
waste stream not controlled for benzene emissions, (2) for each process 
wastewater stream not controlled for benzene emissions, (3) for each 
facility where process wastewater streams are controlled for benzene 
emissions, (4) for each facility where wastewater streams are 
controlled for benzene emissions. Owners or operators transferring 
waste offsite to another facility for treatment shall maintain 
documentation for each offsite waste shipment, and engineering design 
documentation for all control equipment installed on the waste 
management unit. The documentation shall be retained for the life of 
the control equipment.
    Burden Statement: In the previously approved ICR, the estimated 
number of respondents for this information collection was 240 with 240 
responses per year. The annual industry reporting and recordkeeping 
burden for this collection of information was 17,028 hours. On the 
average, each respondent reported approximately one time per year and 
71 hours were spent preparing each response. There are no capital/
startup costs or operations and maintenance costs associated with 
continuous emission monitoring in the previous ICR; therefore, there 
are no capital, or operation and maintenance costs associated with this 
ICR.
    (11) NSPS subpart AAAA: Reporting and Recordkeeping Requirements 
for the New Source Performance Standards for Small Municipal Waste 
Combustors (40 CFR part 60, subpart AAAA) EPA ICR 1900.02; OMB Control 
Number 2060-0423; expiration date February 28, 2003.
    Affected Entities: Entities potentially affected by this action are 
owners or operators of small municipal waste combustors (MWC) units 
with capacities greater than 35 tons per day, but less than 250 tons 
per day for which commenced construction after August 30, 1999, or 
commenced modification, or reconstruction after June 6, 2001.
    Abstract: The Agency has determined that the emissions from small 
municipal waste combustors cause, or contribute significantly to air 
pollution that may reasonably be anticipated to endanger public health 
or welfare. Small MWCs emit toxic organics, metals, acid gases, carbon 
monoxide and fugitive ash owners. Owners or operators must conduct 
initial compliance tests and compliance demonstrations for all 
pollutants, operating parameters, and continuous monitoring systems. 
Annual performance tests and continuous monitoring systems (CEMS) for 
certain pollutants and operating parameters is also required. Owners or 
operators of small MWC units must submit an initial compliance report 
for all regulated pollutants and parameters. Once a year, owners or 
operators must submit an annual report that indicates the highest 
emission level determined during the annual test or recorded using the 
CEMS for all regulated pollutants. The report must also include the 
lowest calculated hourly carbon feed rate.
    If the emission level recorded for any of these pollutants is above 
the emission limit for the pollutant, or if any operating parameter is 
outside a specified range, then the owner or operator is required to 
submit a semiannual report for the calendar half during which the test 
was conducted or data was collected. The standards include provisions 
that would allow less frequent reporting if certain criteria are met.
    Owners or operators of small MWC units are required to keep records 
of certain parameters, and maintain records of employees names and 
dates of their initial and annual review of the site-specific operating 
manual parameters. Records of continuous measurements of MWC unit load, 
the particulate matter control device temperature, and computation of 
average emissions and operating parameters, as well as opacity 
measurements are required. Owners or

[[Page 41988]]

operators are also required to maintain records that identify the date, 
operating parameters, and opacity level exceedances, with reasons and a 
description of corrective action. Owners or operators are required to 
keep records of results of daily sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, and 
carbon monoxide, CEMS drift tests, and quarterly accuracy assessments. 
Owners or operators are required to maintain records of initial 
performance tests and all annual performance retests for compliance 
with particulate matter, dioxins/furans, hydrochloric acid (HCl), 
cadmium, lead, and mercury limits. Owners or operators also maintain 
records of periodic testing for fugitive ash emissions.
    Burden Statement: In the previously approved ICR, the estimated 
number of respondents for this information collection was 3 with 6 
responses per year. The annual industry reporting and recordkeeping 
burden for this collection of information was 8,559 hours. On the 
average, each respondent reported approximately two times per year and 
1,427 hours were spent preparing each response. The total annual 
reporting and recordkeeping cost burden for this collection of 
information was $219,000. This included an annual cost of $200,000 
associated with capital/startup costs and $19,000 associated with the 
annual operation and maintenance costs.
    (12) NSPS subpart BBBB: Emission Guidelines Reporting and 
Recordkeeping Requirements for Existing Small Municipal Waste 
Combustion (MWC) Units (40 CFR part 60, subpart BBBB); EPA ICR Number 
1901.02; OMB Control Number 2060-0424; expiration date February 28, 
2003.
    Affected Entities: Respondents are owners or operators of existing 
small MWC units. Small MWC units are units with capacities to combust 
greater than 35 tons per day and less than 250 tons per day of 
municipal solid waste.
    Abstract: The Agency has determined that the emissions from small 
municipal waste combustion units, cause or contribute significantly to 
air pollution that may reasonably be anticipated to endanger public 
health or welfare. Owners and operators of MWCs that have retrofit 
schedules longer than one year are required to submit reports or 
notifications documenting increments of progress.
    Owners or operators are required to conduct initial compliance 
tests and compliance demonstrations for all pollutants and parameters, 
as well as continuous monitoring or annual retests of all pollutants 
and parameters, unless the owner or operator qualifies for less 
frequent dioxin/furan testing. As a means of determining continuous 
compliance for mercury and dioxin/furan, owners or operators are 
required to keep records of the quarterly amount of activated carbon 
injected, and to calculate the average carbon injection rate for each 
hour of operation.
    Owners or operators of small MWC units are required to submit an 
initial compliance report for all regulated pollutants and parameters. 
Once a year, owners or operators of small MWC units are required to 
submit an annual report for all regulated pollutants and parameters 
that summarizes data collected for all pollutants and parameters 
regulated under the standard. Owners or operators are required to 
submit an annual report that indicates the highest emission level 
determined during the annual test, or recorded using continuous 
emissions monitoring systems, load level, control device inlet 
temperature, and opacity. If the emission level recorded for any of 
these pollutants shows emissions above the emission limit for the 
pollutant, or a calculated carbon injection rate below the carbon 
injection rate established during the mercury or dioxin/furan annual 
retest, then the owner or operator is required to submit a semiannual 
report for the calendar half during which the test was conducted or 
data were collected, and the report is required to include the 
supporting data or test report and an explanation for the exceedances. 
Owners or operators are not required to submit test reports, or raw 
CEMS data unless a pollutant or parameter is recorded as exceeding the 
emission limit for the pollutant or parameter.
    If three annual compliance tests in a row indicate compliance with 
the particulate matter (PM), dioxin/furan, hydrochloric acid (HCl), 
cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb), and/or mercury (Hg) emission limits, then 
owners or operators of small MWC units (where the aggregate plant 
capacity is less than 250 tons per year) may skip the annual 
performance test for that particular pollutant for the next two years. 
If the next test after skipping two years shows compliance, another 
two-year period may be skipped. At a minimum, performance tests for PM, 
dioxins/furans, HCl, Cd, Pb, and Hg are required by small MWC plants 
every 3 years. In all cases, annual tests for opacity and fly ash/
bottom ash fugitive emissions are required and may not be skipped. In 
addition, a provision for less frequent dioxin/furan testing allows 
plants to test only one unit per year rather than all units, as is 
normally required, if all units at the plant achieve emission levels 
significantly lower than the emission limit for two consecutive years. 
It is believed that most units will qualify for this option.
    Under the standards, owners or operators of affected units are 
required to keep records of the following information: (1) Employees 
names and dates of their initial and annual review of the site-specific 
operating manual; (2) emission rates and CEMS parameters for nitrogen 
oxides, sulfur dioxides, carbon monoxide, oxygen, carbon dioxide, and 
opacity; (3) continuous measurements of small MWC unit load and PM 
control device temperature, and computation of average emissions and 
operating parameters; (4) the date and operating parameters of any 
opacity level exceedances, with reasons and a description of corrective 
action; (5) results of daily SO2, NOX, and CO 
CEMS drift tests and quarterly Appendix F accuracy assessments; (6) 
records of initial performance tests and all annual performance retests 
for compliance with PM, dioxin/furan, HCl, Cd, Pb, and Hg limits; and 
(7) records of periodic testing for fugitive ash emissions.
    Burden Statement: In the previously approved ICR, the estimated 
number of respondents for this information collection was estimated to 
be 41 with 90 responses per year. The annual recordkeeping and 
reporting hour burden for this collection was estimated to be 1,297 
hours. On the average each respondent reported 2.2 times per year. For 
each new facility, the initial notifications and performance test 
require approximately 14 hours. There are no capital/startup costs or 
operations and maintenance costs associated with continuous emission 
monitoring in the previous ICR; therefore, there are no capital, or 
operation and maintenance costs associated with this ICR.
    (13) NSPS subpart D: Standards of Performance for Fossil Fuel Fired 
Steam Generating Units (40 CFR part 60, subpart D); EPA ICR Number 
1052.07; OMB Number 2060-0026; expiration date February 28, 2003.
    Affected Entities: Entities potentially affected by this action are 
fossil-fuel-fired steam generating units which are capable of 
combusting fossil fuel at a heat input rate of more than 73 megawatts 
(250 million Btu per hour).
    Abstract: The Agency has determined that the emissions from fossil-
fuel-fired steam generating units cause, or contribute significantly to 
air pollution that may reasonably be anticipated to endanger public 
health or welfare. These standards apply to emissions from each fossil-
fuel-fired steam generating unit which is capable of combusting more 
than 73 megawatts (250 million Btu per hour) heat input of

[[Page 41989]]

fossil fuel. The standards limit the emissions of sulfur dioxide, 
particulate matter, and nitrogen oxides.
    Owners or operators of the affected facilities described must make 
one-time-only notifications, and are also required to maintain 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. Monitoring requirements specific 
to the standards provide information on compliance with the emission 
limits. Quarterly reports of excess emissions are also required.
    Burden Statement: In the previously approved ICR the estimated 
number of respondents for this information collection was 660 with 
2,640 responses per year. The annual industry reporting and 
recordkeeping burden for this collection of information was 62,865 
hours. On the average each respondent reported one time per year and 
four hours were spent preparing each response. In the previously 
approved ICR, the estimated number of respondents for this information 
collection was 49 with 102 responses per year. The annual industry 
reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information 
was 4,190 hours. On the average, each respondent reported approximately 
two times per year and 41 hours were spent preparing each response. The 
total annual reporting and recordkeeping cost burden for this 
collection of information was $9,900,000. Since there were no capital/
startup costs associated with the ICR the annual reporting and 
recordkeeping cost was comprised entirely of annual operation and 
maintenance expenses.
    (14) NSPS subpart Da: Standards of Performance for Electric Utility 
Steam Generating Units (40 CFR part 60, subpart Da); EPA ICR Number 
1053.07; OMB Number 2060-0023; expiration date February 28, 2003.
    Affected Entities: The standards apply to each electric utility 
steam generating unit which is capable of combusting more than 73 
megawatts (MW) heat input of fossil fuel, for which, commencing 
construction, modification, or reconstruction after the date of 
proposal.

number of respondents for this information collection was 957 with 
3,016 responses per year. The annual industry reporting and 
recordkeeping burden for this collection of information was 575,000 
hours. On the average, each respondent reported approximately 3.2 times 
per year and 191 hours were spent preparing each response. The total 
annual reporting and recordkeeping cost burden for this collection of 
information was $25,955,000. This included an annual cost of 
$11,160,000 associated with capital/startup costs and $14,355,000 
associated with the annual operation and maintenance costs.
    (16) NESHAP subpart M: National Emission Standards for Hazardous 
Air Pollutants for Asbestos (40 CFR part 61, subpart M); EPA ICR Number 
0111.10; OMB Control Number 2060-0101; expiration date February 28, 
2003.
    Affected Entities: Entities potentially affected by this action 
are: (1) Owners/operators of asbestos milling, manufacturing and 
fabricating facilities; (2) those facilities demolishing or renovating 
facilities; and (3) those facilities managing active or inactive waste 
disposal sites. The standards apply to the following operations: 
demolition and renovation; the disposal of asbestos waste; asbestos 
milling, manufacturing and fabricating; the use of asbestos on 
roadways; asbestos waste conversion; and the use of asbestos insulation 
and sprayed-on materials in construction.
    Abstract: The Agency has determined that the emissions from 
asbestos milling, manufacturing, fabricating, demolition, roadway 
construction, and asbestos waste conversion cause, or contribute 
significantly to air pollution that may reasonably be anticipated to 
endanger public health or welfare.
    Owners or operators of the affected milling, manufacturing, 
fabricating, waste disposal, and waste conversion facilities described 
must make one-time-only notifications and are also required to maintain 
records of the occurrence and duration of any startup, shutdown, or 
malfunction in the operation of an affected. Recordkeeping includes the 
initial performance test results including information necessary to 
determine the conditions of the performance test, and performance test 
measurements and results, including monitoring each potential source of 
asbestos emissions for visible emissions to the outside air and 
inspecting air cleaning devices to ensure proper operation. The 
reporting requirements include the initial notifications listed, the 
initial performance test results, and quarterly reports of instances 
when visible emissions are observed.
    Persons conducting demolitions and renovations must notify the 
Agency, in advance, of the initiation of any asbestos removal work. The 
demolition and renovation standard requires that a representative 
trained in the provisions of the standard be present at the facility. 
Evidence that the required training has been completed is required. The 
provisions require that all containers of asbestos waste be labeled 
including the

[[Page 41990]]

name of the waste generator and the location of where the waste was 
generated. Owners or operators of demolitions and renovations are 
required to prepare and maintain records of each waste shipment as to 
its destination, the quantity of waste, and the date of shipment, and 
to furnish a copy of the record to disposal site owners or operators. 
The regulation also requires that the generators of asbestos waste 
attempt to reconcile instances in which a signed copy of the waste 
shipment record is not received from the disposal site and that the 
generator notify the Administrator if delivery to the disposal site 
cannot be confirmed.
    Owners and operators of waste disposal sites are required to 
document all asbestos waste shipments that are received and send a copy 
of each record back to the generator. A record of the location and 
quantity of asbestos in the landfill is required as well as noting the 
presence and location of asbestos in the landfill property deed. 
Disposal site owners and operators have to report to the Administrator 
any discrepancies between the amount of waste designated on the waste 
shipment record and the amount actually received, as well as instances 
of improperly contained waste. An owner or operator of an operation in 
which asbestos-containing materials are spray-applied must notify the 
Administrator in advance of the spraying operation. The notice provides 
information on the name and address of the owner or operator, location 
of the spraying operation, and procedures to be followed.
    Burden Statement: In the previously approved ICR, the estimated 
number of respondents for this information collection was estimated to 
be 10,647 with 134,340 responses per year. The annual recordkeeping and 
reporting hour burden for this collection was estimated to be 362,159 
hours. On the average each respondent reported 12.6 times per year, and 
2.7 hours were spent preparing each response. There are no capital/
startup costs or operations and maintenance costs associated with 
continuous emission monitoring in the previous ICR; therefore, there 
are no capital, or operation and maintenance costs associated with this 
ICR.
    (17) NESHAP-MACT subpart VVV: NESHAP for Publicly Owned Treatment 
Works (POTWs) (40 CFR part 63, subpart VVV); EPA ICR Number 1891.03; 
OMB Number 2060-0428; expiration date February 28, 2003.
    Affected Entities: Entities potentially affected by this action are 
POTWs that are major sources of hazardous air pollutants, become a 
major source after October 29, 1999, or reconstruct the treatment 
plant.
    Abstract: The Agency has determined that the emissions from 
publicly owned treatment works cause, or contribute significantly to 
air pollution that may reasonably be anticipated to endanger public 
health or welfare.
    The required recordkeeping and reporting enable the Administrator 
to: (1) Identify new sources subject to the standards, and (2) to 
ensure that the POTWs affected by the standards comply with the 
applicable regulations. The reports are used by the Administrator to: 
(1) Identify new HAP emission points subject to the standards, (2) 
identify the emission control devices and control methodologies being 
applied, and (3) ensure that the emission control devices and control 
methodologies are being properly operated and maintained on a 
continuous basis.
    Burden Statement: The standards require no additional control 
requirements for existing major sources. In the previously approved 
ICR, the estimated number of respondents for this information 
collection was estimated to be one with one response per year. The 
annual recordkeeping and reporting hour burden for this collection was 
estimated to be 41 hours. On the average each respondent reported one 
time per year, and 41 hours were spent preparing each response. There 
are no capital/startup costs or operations and maintenance costs 
associated with continuous emission monitoring in the previous ICR; 
therefore, there are no capital, or operation and maintenance costs 
associated with this ICR.
    (18) NSPS subpart BB: New Source Performance Standards for Kraft 
Pulp Mills (40 CFR part 60, subpart BB); EPA ICR Number 1055.07; OMB 
Control Number 2060-0021; expiration date February 28, 2003.
    Affected Entities: Entities potentially affected by this action are 
affected facilities at kraft pulp mills including digester systems, 
brown stock washer systems, multiple effect evaporator systems, 
recovery furnaces, smelt dissolving tanks, lime kilns, and condensate 
stripper systems that were constructed, modified or reconstructed after 
September 24, 1976. In pulp mills where kraft pulping is combined with 
neutral sulfite semi-chemical pulping, the provisions of this subpart 
are applicable when any portion of the material charged to an affected 
facility is produced by the kraft pulping operation. A facilities may 
be exempt from the total reduced sulfur (TRS) standard if the facility 
can demonstrate that TRS from a new, modified or reconstructed brown 
stock washer cannot be technically nor economically feasiblely 
controlled.
    Abstract: The Agency has determined that total reduced sulfur (TRS) 
and particulate matter emissions from kraft pulp mills cause or 
contribute to air pollution that may reasonably be anticipated to 
endanger public health or welfare.
    In addition to the monitoring, recordkeeping and reporting 
requirements listed in the General Provisions (40 CFR part 60, subpart 
A), sources are required to record, at least once per shift, the 
following specific parameters: The opacity of the gases discharged into 
the atmosphere from any recovery furnace; the concentration of TRS 
emissions on a dry basis and the percent of oxygen by volume on a dry 
basis in the gases discharged into the atmosphere; for an incinerator, 
the combustion temperature at the point of incineration of effluent 
gases being emitted by the affected facilities; and for any lime kiln 
or melt discharge tank using a scrubber emission control device, the 
pressure loss of the gas stream through the control equipment and the 
scrubbing liquid pressure to the control equipment. Sources are also 
required to record on a daily basis 12-hour average TRS concentrations 
and oxygen concentrations (for the recovery furnace and lime kiln) for 
two consecutive periods of each operating. Sources must report 
semiannually measurements of excess emissions as defined by the 
standard for the applicable affected facility.
    Burden Statement: In the previously approved ICR, the estimated 
number of respondents for this information collection was 82 with 170 
responses per year. The annual industry reporting and recordkeeping 
burden for this collection of information was 9,959 hours. On the 
average, each respondent reported approximately 2.1 times per year and 
59 hours were spent preparing each response. The total annual reporting 
and recordkeeping cost burden for this collection of information was 
$2,828,000. This included an annual cost of $300,000 associated with 
capital/startup costs and $2,528,000 associated with the annual 
operation and maintenance costs.
    (19) NSPS subpart HHH: New Source Performance Standards for 
Synthetic Fiber Production Facilities (40 CFR part 60, subpart HHH); 
EPA ICR Number 1156.09; OMB Control Number 2060-0059; expiration date 
January 31, 2003.
    Affected Entities: Entities potentially affected by this rule are 
each solvent-spun synthetic fiber process that produces more than 500 
megagrams of

[[Page 41991]]

fiber per year and that commenced construction or reconstruction after 
November 23, 1982. The provisions of this subpart do not apply to any 
facility that uses the reaction spinning process to produce spandex 
fiber or the viscose process to produce rayon fiber, nor to facilities 
that commence modification but not reconstruction after November 23, 
1982.
    Abstract: The Agency has determined that volatile organic compounds 
emissions from synthetic fiber production facilities contribute to air 
pollution that may reasonably be anticipated to endanger public health 
or welfare.
    In addition to the monitoring, recordkeeping and reporting 
requirements listed in the General Provisions (40 CFR part 60, subpart 
A), sources are required to submit the results of subsequent 
performance test results and any correction action taken, if they 
indicate that volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions exceed the 
standard, on a quarterly basis after the initial performance test. If 
no exceedances occur, sources must submit a report semiannually.
    Burden Statement: In the previously approved ICR, the estimated 
number of respondents for this information collection was 31 with 85 
responses per year. The annual industry reporting and recordkeeping 
burden for this collection of information was 2,696 hours. On the 
average, each respondent reported approximately 2.7 times per year and 
32 hours were spent preparing each response. The total annual reporting 
and recordkeeping cost burden for this collection of information was 
$228,000. This included an annual cost of $3,000 associated with 
capital/startup costs and $225,000 associated with the annual operation 
and maintenance costs.
    (20) NESHAP-MACT subpart AAAA: Federal Emission Guidelines for 
Existing Municipal Solid Waste Landfills (40 CFR part 63, subpart 
AAAA); EPA ICR Number 1893.03; OMB Control Number 2060-0430; expiration 
date February 28, 2003.
    Affected Entities: Entities potentially affected by this action are 
owners or operators of existing municipal solid waste landfills that 
are located in any State for which a State plan has not been approved 
and become effective.
    Abstract: The Agency has determined that the emissions from 
municipal solid waste landfills cause, or contribute significantly to 
air pollution that may reasonably be anticipated to endanger public 
health or welfare. The Administrator is charged under Section 111 of 
the Clean Air Act (CAA) to establish procedures for each State to 
submit a plan that would establish standards of performance for any 
existing source for any air pollutant. If the State has not developed 
such a plan, then the Administrator may require any person who owns or 
operates any emission source or is subject to any requirements of the 
CAA, to establish and maintain reports; make reports; install, use, and 
maintain monitoring equipment or methods; sample emissions; and provide 
any other information as required.
    All owners and operators of existing municipal solid waste 
landfills must submit an initial design capacity report. If the design 
capacity of an existing landfill is equal to or greater than 2,500,000 
megagrams in weight and equal to or greater than 2,500,000 cubic meters 
in volume, the owner or operator is required to determine the 
facility's nonmethane organic compound (NMOC) emission rate. Based on a 
three-tier calculation system, the owner or operator will either 
install a collection and control system or perform testing at the next 
tier level to recalculate the annual NMOC emission rate. If the NMOC 
emission rate is determined to be less than 50 megagrams per year (Mg/
yr), using Tier 1, Tier 2, or Tier 3 calculations, no further 
calculations or testing is required for that year.
    For landfills required to install collection and control systems, 
submission of a collection and control system design plan is required. 
After review of the design plan and installation of the collections and 
control system, and initial performance test and report for the system 
is required. There after, annual compliance reports are required. 
Owners or operators are required to keep continuous monitoring records 
of the parameters reported in the initial performance report and 
records of monthly monitoring of surface methane concentration.
    Burden Statement: In the previously approved ICR, the estimated 
number of respondents for this information collection was 3,837 with 
384 responses per year. The annual industry reporting and recordkeeping 
burden for this collection of information was 15,110 hours. On the 
average, each respondent reported approximately 0.10 times per year and 
39 hours were spent preparing each response. The total annual reporting 
and recordkeeping cost burden for this collection of information was 
$890,000. This included an annual cost of $788,000 associated with 
capital/startup costs and $102,000 associated with the annual operation 
and maintenance costs.
    (21) NSPS subpart JJJ: New Source Performance Standard for 
Petroleum Dry Cleaners (40 CFR part 60, subpart JJJ); EPA ICR Number 
0997.07; and OMB Control Number 2060-0079; expiration date March 31, 
2003.
    Affected Entities: Entities potentially affected by this action are 
petroleum solvent dry cleaning dryers, washers, filters, stills and 
settling tanks located at petroleum dry cleaning plants.
    Abstract: The Administrator has determined that volatile organic 
compounds (VOC) emissions from petroleum dry cleaners cause or 
contribute to air pollution that may reasonably be anticipated to 
endanger public health or welfare. Owners or operators of the affected 
facilities must conduct a performance test to demonstrate compliance 
with the applicable emission limitation and retain the results of that 
test for two years.
    Burden Statement: In the previously approved ICR, the estimated 
number of respondents for this information collection was estimated to 
be 18 with 93 responses per year. The annual recordkeeping and 
reporting hour burden for this collection was estimated to be 1,483 
hours. On the average, each respondent reported approximately 5.2 times 
per year and 16 hours were spent preparing each response. There are no 
capital/startup costs or operations and maintenance costs associated 
with continuous emission monitoring in the previous ICR; therefore, 
there are no capital, or operation and maintenance costs associated 
with this ICR.
    (22) FPR subpart FFF: Federal Plan Recordkeeping and Reporting 
Requirements for Large Municipal Waste Combustors Constructed on or 
Before September 20, 1994 (40 CFR part 62, subpart FFF); EPA ICR Number 
1847.03; OMB Control Number 2060-0390; expiration date March 31, 2003.
    Affected Entities: Entities potentially affected by this action are 
Large Municipal Waste Combustors Constructed on or Before September 20, 
1994 (40 CFR part 62, subpart FFF). Respondents are owners or operators 
of municipal waste combustors with a capacity to combust greater than 
250 tons per day located in States that do not have EPA-approved plans.
    Abstract: The Agency has determined that the emissions from large 
municipal waste combustors cause, or contribute significantly to air 
pollution that may reasonably be anticipated to endanger public health 
or welfare.
    This information collection is required as a result of a Federal 
Plans developed at 40 CFR part 62, subpart FFF, to implement and 
enforce the

[[Page 41992]]

emission guidelines (40 CFR part 60, subpart Cb) for large municipal 
waste combustors (MWCs) that were promulgated under the authority of 
Clean Air Act (CAA) Sections 111 and 129. Under CAA Section 129(b)(2), 
States were required to submit plans to the Administrator for approval 
by December 19, 1996, that implement and enforce the 40 CFR part 60, 
subpart Cb. Section 129(b)(3) requires the Administrator to promulgate 
a Federal Plan to implement and enforce the guidelines in those States 
that have not submitted an approvable plan to Administrator by December 
19, 1997.
    40 CFR part 60, subpart Cb requires all respondents to comply with 
the recordkeeping and reporting requirements at 40 CFR part 60, subpart 
Eb, Section 60.59b except for certain notifications regarding the 
siting plan, construction requirements, performance testing procedures 
and certifications. The primary recordkeeping and reporting 
requirements of subpart Eb include a materials separation plan; 
notification of public meeting; the retention of continuous emission 
monitoring data; records of exceedances; records carbon injection 
system data; the names of the plant operator, shift supervisors and 
control room operators; and performance test reports.
    Burden Statement: In the previously approved ICR, the estimated 
number of respondents for this information collection was 56 with 112 
responses per year. The annual industry reporting and recordkeeping 
burden for this collection of information was 58,915 hours. On the 
average, each respondent reported approximately two times per year and 
508 hours were spent preparing each response. The total annual 
reporting and recordkeeping cost burden for this collection of 
information was $3,218,000 which is comprised entirely of annual 
operation and maintenance costs. There are no capital/startup costs 
associated with this ICR.
