(75 FR 35454), EPA sought comments on this ICR pursuant to 5 CFR 
1320.8(d). EPA received two comment letters during the comment period, 
which are addressed in the ICR. Any additional comments on this ICR 
should be submitted to EPA and OMB within 30 days of this notice.
    EPA has established a public docket for this ICR under Docket ID 
No. EPA-HQ-OAR-2004-0450 which is available for on-line viewing at 
http://www.regulations.gov or in hard copy at the EPA Docket Center, 
Public Reading Room, EPA West, Room 3334, 1301 Constitution Avenue, 
NW., Washington, DC 20004. The normal business hours are 8:30 a.m. to 
4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding Federal holidays. The 
telephone number for the Reading Room is 202-566-1744 and the telephone 
number for the Air and Radiation Docket is 202-566-1742.
    Use EPA's electronic docket and comment system at http://www.regulations.gov to submit or view public comments, access the index 
listing of the contents of the docket and to access those documents in 
the docket that are available electronically. Once in the system, 
select ``docket search,'' then key in the docket ID number identified 
above. Please note that EPA's policy is that public comments, whether 
submitted electronically or in paper, will be made available for public 
viewing at http://www.regulations.gov 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. For further information about the electronic 
docket, go to http://www.regulations.gov.
    Title: Aerospace Manufacturing and Rework Industry Information 
Collection
    ICR number: EPA ICR Number 2395.01, OMB Control Number 2060-NEW
    ICR status: This ICR is for a new information collection activity. 
An Agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to 
respond to, a collection of information, unless it displays a currently 
valid OMB control number. The OMB control numbers for EPA's regulations 
in Title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), after appearing 
in the Federal Register when approved, are listed in 40 CFR part 9, and 
are displayed either by publication in the Federal Register or by other 
appropriate means, such as on the related collection instrument or 
form, if applicable. The display of OMB control numbers in certain EPA 
regulations is consolidated in 40 CFR part 9.
    Abstract: This ICR was developed specifically for aerospace 
manufacturing and rework facilities and has been tailored to the 
processes at aerospace facilities. Respondents may use an electronic 
submission approach that will be less burdensome for both the 
facilities that must respond and for EPA personnel who must compile the

[[Page 59711]]

responses. Respondents are asked to complete simple forms from 
available information and no request is made to create or develop 
emission estimates from information in the literature.
    Information is requested from approximately 1,000 aerospace 
manufacturing and rework facilities on general facility information, 
coatings and spray booth information, other process information (e.g., 
storage tanks, composite processing, etc.), emission control devices 
used at the facilities and their basic design and operating features, 
quantity of air emissions, pollution prevention programs at each 
facility, and information regarding startup and shutdown events. This 
information is necessary for EPA to adequately characterize residual 
risk at these facilities, to characterize emissions and control 
measures for operations not currently regulated, and to develop 
standards for new and existing aerospace facilities under section 112 
of the Clean Air Act (CAA), if appropriate. The information will be 
collected from the electronic completion of simple forms, which will be 
compiled to develop a computer database.
    The EPA is charged under section 112 of the CAA with developing 
national emission standards for 189 listed hazardous air pollutants 
(HAP). The Aerospace Manufacturing and Rework Facilities Maximum 
Achievable Control Technology (Aerospace MACT) standard (40 CFR 63, 
subpart GG), is a national emission standard for HAP developed under 
the authority of section 112(d) of the CAA. EPA is required to review 
each MACT standard and to revise them ``as necessary (taking into 
account developments in practices, processes and control 
technologies)'' no less frequently than every eight years. These 
reviews are commonly referred to as ``technology reviews.'' In 
addition, EPA is required to assess the risk remaining (residual risk) 
after implementation of each MACT standard and promulgate more 
stringent standards if they are necessary to protect public health. 
Under EPA's residual risk and technology review (RTR) program, EPA is 
addressing these two requirements concurrently. EPA is updating the 
information they currently possess and filling identified data gaps in 
that information in order to provide a thorough basis for the RTR 
efforts. The data collection effort will gather additional information 
to allow comprehensive and technically sound analyses that will form 
the basis for future rulemaking decisions. Responses to the ICR are 
mandatory under the authority of section 114 of the CAA.
    Burden Statement: The one-time public reporting burden for this 
collection of information is estimated to average 228 hours per 
response. Burden means the total time, effort, or financial resources 
expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or disclose or 
provide information to or for a Federal agency. This includes the time 
needed to review instructions; develop, acquire, install and utilize 
technology and systems for the purposes of collecting, validating and 
verifying information, processing and maintaining information and 
disclosing and providing information; adjust the existing ways to 
comply with any previously applicable instructions and requirements 
which have subsequently changed; train personnel to be able to respond 
to a collection of information; search data sources; complete and 
review the collection of information; and transmit or otherwise 
disclose the information.
    Respondents/Affected Entities: Owners or operators of existing 
aerospace manufacturing and rework facilities.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 1,000.
    Frequency of Response: Once.
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 227,700.
    Estimated Total Annual Cost: $10,965,834 in labor costs and no 
annualized capital or O&M costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: This is a new collection.
