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 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 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.

NSPS at 40 CFR part 60, subpart A and any changes to the General 
Provisions specified at 40 CFR part 60, subpart Y. In general, all New 
Source Performance Standards (NSPS) require initial notifications, 
performance tests, and periodic reports. Owners or operators are also 
required to maintain records of the occurrence and duration of any 
start-up, shutdown, or malfunction in the operation of an affected 
facility, or any period during which the monitoring system is 
inoperative.
    Burden Statement: The estimated number of respondents for this 
information collect was 616 with 1,232 responses. The annual industry 
recordkeeping and reporting burden for this collection of information 
was 17,162 hours. Each respondent provided two responses per year and 
an average 14 hours were spent preparing each response. The total 
annual cost for this ICR was $22,000 which was comprised entirely of 
operation and maintenance costs (no capital/startup costs).
    (4) NESHAP for Clay Ceramics Manufacturing (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart 
KKKKK); EPA ICR Number 2023.03; OMB Control Number 2060-0513; 
expiration date June 30, 2006.

    Abstract: The New Source Performance Standard (NSPS) for Emission 
Guidelines and Compliance Times for Small Municipal Waste Combustion 
Units Constructed on or Before August 30, 1999 were promulgated on 
December 6, 2000 (65 FR 76378).
    The affected entities are subject to the General Provisions of the 
NSPS at 40 CFR part 60, subpart A and any changes, or additions to the 
General Provisions specified at 40 CFR part 60, subpart BBBB. Owners or 
operators are required to conduct initial compliance testing and 
continuous monitoring or annual retesting. Owners or operators of small 
municipal waste combustors (MWCs) are required to submit an initial 
compliance report for all regulated pollutants and parameters. Owners 
or operators of small MWC units are also required to submit an annual 
report for all regulated pollutants and parameters that summarizes data 
collected for all pollutants and operating parameters regulated under 
the standard. The annual report includes the highest emission level 
experienced during the annual test or recorded using a continuous 
emission monitoring system, the load level, control device inlet 
temperature, and opacity measurements. 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. The report must include supporting 
data and an explanation for the exceedance(s).
    Owners or operators are also 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 
sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxide, and carbon monoxide CEMS drift tests 
and quarterly accuracy assessments; (6) records of initial performance 
tests and all annual performance retests for compliance with 
particulate matter, dioxin/furan, hydrochloric acid, cadmium, lead, and

expiration date June 30, 2006.
    Affected Entities: Small municipal waste combustors (MWC).
    Abstract: The New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for Small 
Municipal Waste Combustors (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart AAAA) were 
promulgated on December 6, 2000. The standards apply to 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.
    The affected entities are subject to the General Provisions of the 
NSPS at 40 CFR part 60, subpart A and any changes, or additions to the 
General Provisions specified at 40 CFR part 60, subpart AAAA. Owners or 
operators must conduct initial compliance tests 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 a report that indicates the highest emission 
level determined during the annual test or recorded using the CEMS for 
all regulated pollutants. The report

[[Page 55373]]

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 employee 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 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 also required to keep records 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

    Affected Entities: Integrated iron and steel manufacturing 
facilities.
    Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air 
Pollutants (NESHAP) for Integrated Iron and Steel Manufacturing Steel 
Pickling, 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart FFFFF, were proposed on July 13, 2001 
(66 FR 36835), and promulgated on May 20, 2003 (68 FR 27645). This 
rulemaking establishes emission limits for particulate matter and/or 
opacity limits, which act as surrogates for individual metallic 
hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) limitations for six discharge points. 
Operating limits are also required for certain capture systems and 
control devices. The rule also includes an operating limit for the oil 
content of the sinter plant feedstock to reduce organic HAP. As an 
alternative, a facility may choose to monitor emissions of volatile 
organic compounds instead of oil content.
    The monitoring, recordkeeping, and reporting requirements outlined 
in the rule are similar to those required for other NESHAP regulations. 
Plants are required to conduct a performance test to demonstrate 
initial compliance with each emission and opacity limit and establish 
operating limits for capture systems and control devices. A performance 
test is also required to demonstrate compliance with the operating 
limit on the oil content of sinter plant feedstock or for volatile 
organic compounds.
    Consistent with the NESHAP General Provisions (40 CFR Part 63, 
Subpart A), respondents submit one-time notifications of applicability, 
a performance test result for the primary emission control device, and 
semiannual reports including periods of monitoring exceedances. Plants 
also must develop and implement a Startup, Shutdown, and Malfunction 
Plan (SSMP). An immediate report is required if actions taken in 
response to the SSMP were not consistent with the written SSMP. These 
notifications, reports, and records are essential in determining 
compliance, and are required of all sources subject to NESHAP.
    Burden Statement: In the active approved ICR, the estimated number 
of respondents for this information collection 6 with 24 responses per 
year. The annual industry reporting and recordkeeping burden for this 
collection of information was 199 hours. The average annual respondent 
reports four times per year and spends 8 hours preparing each response.
    The total annualized cost for continuous emissions monitoring was 
$64,300, which was comprised of capital/startup costs of $42,000 and 
operation and maintenance (O&M) costs of $22,300 per year.
    (9) Federal Emission Guidelines for Large Municipal Waste 
Combustors Constructed on or Before September 20, 1994 (40 CFR 62, 
Subpart FFF), EPA ICR Number 1847.04, OMB Control Number 2060-0181, 
expiration date June 30, 2006.
    Affected Entities: Municipal waste combustion (MWC) units.
    Abstract: Federal Emission Guidelines for Large Municipal Waste 
Combustors Constructed on or Before September 20, 1994 (40 CFR 62, 
Subpart FFF) were promulgated on November 12, 1998. The guidelines 
apply to MWC units with a combustion capacity greater than 250 tons per 
day of municipal solid waste (large MWC units) if construction of the 
unit commenced on or before September 20, 1994, and the unit is not 
covered by an Agency approved State or Tribal Plan.
    The affected entities are subject to the General Provisions of the 
New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) at 40 CFR part 60, subpart A 
and any changes, or additions to the General Provisions specified at 40 
CFR part 62, subpart FFF. Subpart FFF implements and enforces the 
emission guidelines (40 CFR part 60, subpart Cb) for large MWCs that 
were promulgated under the authority of Clean Air Act 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.
    Subpart FFF requires 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. These notifications, 
reports, and records are essential to determine compliance, and are 
required of all sources subject to the NSPS. Subpart FFF contains the 
same testing, monitoring, recordkeeping and reporting requirements as 
Subpart Eb and subpart Cb. This occurs because Section 60.39b of 
subpart Cb requires that for a State Plan or Tribal Plan to be 
approved, it must contain the recordkeeping and reporting requirements 
of Subpart Eb. Because the Federal Plan is applicable in lieu of State 
or Tribal Plans for MWCs in areas that do not have approved State or 
Tribal Plans, the Federal Plan also contains the same recordkeeping and 
reporting as subparts Eb and Cb.
