are listed under SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION, section II. C.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. General Information

A. Background

    Pursuant to section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA, EPA is soliciting 
comments and information to enable it to:
    (1) Evaluate whether the proposed collections of information are 
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the Agency, 
including whether the information will have practical utility.
    (2) Evaluate the accuracy of the Agency's estimates of the burdens 
of the proposed collections of information.
    (3) Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to 
be collected.
    (4) Minimize the burden of the collections of information on those 
who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated 
or electronic collection technologies or other forms of information 
technology, e.g., permitting electronic submission of responses.
    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.
    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 
standards are displayed at 40 CFR part 9.

B. Public Dockets

    EPA has established official public dockets for the ICRs listed 
under SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION, section II. B. The official public 
docket for each ICR consists of the documents specifically referenced 
in the ICR, any public comments received, and other information related 
to each ICR. The official public docket for each ICR is the collection 
of materials that is available for public viewing at the Enforcement 
and Compliance Docket and Information Center in the EPA Docket Center 
(EPA/DC), EPA West, Room B102, 1301 Constitution Avenue, NW., 
Washington, DC. The EPA Docket Center Public Reading Room is open from 
8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding legal 
holidays. The telephone number for the Reading Room is (202) 566-1744, 
and the telephone number for the Enforcement and Compliance Docket and 
Information Center Docket is (202) 566-1514. An electronic version of 
the public docket for each ICR is available through EPA Dockets 
(EDOCKET) at: http://www.epa.gov/edocket. Use EDOCKET to obtain a copy 
of the draft collection of information, to submit or to view public 
comments, to access the index listing of the contents of the public 
docket, and to access those documents in the public docket that are 
available electronically. When in the system, select ``search,'' then 
key in the docket ID number identified above.
    Any comments related to the listed ICRs above should be submitted 
to EPA within 60 days of this notice. EPA's policy is that public 
comments, whether submitted electronically or in paper, will be made 
available for public viewing in EDOCKET as EPA receives them and 
without change, unless the

[[Page 69910]]

comment contains copyrighted material, Confidential Business 
Information (CBI), or other information whose public disclosure is 
restricted by statute. When EPA identifies a comment containing 
copyrighted material, EPA will provide a reference to that material in 
the version of the comment that is placed in EDOCKET. The entire 
printed comment, including the copyrighted material, will be available 
in the public docket. Although identified as an item in the official 
docket, information claimed as CBI, or whose disclosure is otherwise 
restricted by statute, is not included in the official public docket, 
and will not be available for public viewing in EDOCKET. For further 
information about the electronic docket, see EPA's Federal Register 
notice describing the electronic docket at 67 FR 38102 (May 31, 2002), 
or go to http://www.epa.gov/edocket.

II. ICRs To Be Renewed

A. For All ICRs

    The listed ICRs address Clean Air Act information collection 
requirements in standards (i.e., regulations) which have mandatory 
recordkeeping and reporting requirements. Records collected under the 
New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) must be retained by the owner 
or operator for at least two years and the records collected under the 
National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) must 
be retained by the owner or operator for at least five years. In 
general, the required collections consist of emissions data and other 
information deemed not to be private.
    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.
    The Agency computed the burden for each of the recordkeeping and 
reporting requirements applicable to the industry for the currently 
approved Information Collection Requests (ICRs) listed in this notice. 
Where applicable, the Agency identified specific tasks and made 
assumptions, while being consistent with the concept of the Paperwork 
Reduction Act.

    Burden Statement: In the previously approved ICR, the estimated 
number of respondents for this information collection was 82 with 158 
responses per year. The annual industry reporting and recordkeeping 
burden for this collection of information was 88,680 hours. On average, 
each respondent reported 1.9 times per year and 561 hours were spent 
preparing each response. The responses were prepared initially and 
semiannually. The total annualized cost was $513,000 which was 
comprised of capital/startup costs of $513,000 with no operation and 
maintenance costs.
    (9) NESHAP for Natural Gas Transmission and Storage (40 CFR part 
63, subpart HHH); Docket ID Number OECA-2004-0037; EPA ICR Number 
1789.04; OMB Control Number 2060-0418; expiration date September 30, 
2005.
    Affected Entities: Entities potentially affected by this action are 
those facilities that transport or store natural gas prior to it 
entering the pipeline to a local distribution company or final end 
user.
    Abstract: The NESHAP for the standard published at 40 CFR part 63, 
subpart HHH, was proposed on February 6, 1998, and promulgated on June 
17, 1999.
    The affected sources are subject to the General Provisions at 40 
CFR part 63, subpart A, and any changes or additions to the general 
provisions as specified at 40 CFR part 63, subpart HHH. The 
requirements include initial notifications, performance tests, and 
periodic reports. 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. Semiannual reports 
are also required.
    Burden Statement: In the previously approved ICR, the estimated 
number of respondents for this information collection was seven with 
217 responses per year. The annual industry reporting and recordkeeping 
burden for this collection of information was 581 hours. On average, 
each respondent reported 31 times per year and 2.7 hours were spent 
preparing each response. The responses were prepared initially and 
semiannually. There were no capital/startup costs and no operation and 
maintenance costs, therefore, the total annualized cost were zero.

initial notifications, including notification of any physical or 
operational change to an existing facility which may increase the 
regulated pollutant emission rate; notification of the demonstration of 
the continuous monitoring system (CMS) and notification of the initial 
performance test.
    Owners of affected facilities are required to install, calibrate, 
maintain, and operate a CMS to measure the change in the pressure of 
the gas stream through the scrubber and the scrubbing liquid flow rate. 
Owners or operators are also required to maintain records of the 
occurrence and duration of any startup, shut down, or malfunction in 
the operation of an affected facility, or any period during which the 
monitoring system is inoperative. Semiannual reports and monitoring 
systems performance reports which include the exceeded findings of any 
control device operating parameters deviations, the date and time of 
the deviance, the nature and cause of the malfunction (if known), the 
corrective measures taken, and identification of the time period during 
which the CMS was inoperative are also required.
    Burden Statement: In the previously approved ICR, the estimated 
number of respondents for this information collection was 22 with 44 
responses per year. The annual industry reporting and recordkeeping 
burden for this collection of information was 1,760 hours. On average, 
each respondent reported twice per year and 40 hours were spent 
preparing each response. The total annualized cost was $14,000. There 
were no capital/startup costs and the operation and maintenance costs 
were $14,000.
