ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
[FRL-5619-3]
Agency Information Collection Activities Under OMB Review; NSPS
for Grain Elevators (OMB No. 2060-0082; EPA ICR No. 1130.05); NSPS for
Petroleum Dry Cleaning Facilities (OMB No. 2060-0079; EPA No. 0997.05)
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: In compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3507
(a)(1)(D), et seq.), this notice announces that the following
Information Collection Requests (ICRs) have been forwarded to the
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval: NSPS for
Grain Elevators, Subpart DD, EPA ICR Number 1130.05, OMB Control Number
2060-0082; and NSPS for Petroleum Dry Cleaning Facilities, Subpart JJJ,
OMB NO. 2060-0079, EPA NO. 0997.05, both expiring November 30, 1996.
The ICRs describe the nature of the information collection and their
expected burdens and costs.
DATES: Comments must be submitted on or before November 1, 1996.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION OR A COPY CALL: Sandy Farmer at EPA, (202) 260-
2740, and refer to the appropriate EPA ICR No. 1130.05, or 997.05.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for grain elevators,
Subpart DD, OMB Control Number 2060-0082, EPA ICR Number 1130.05,
expiring November 30, 1996. This is a request for an extension of a
currently approved collection.
Abstract: Owners or operators to NSPS Subpart DD 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 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,
including information necessary to determine the conditions of the
performance test and performance test measurements and results,
including 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 (if known)and corrective measures taken. These
notifications, reports and records are required, in general, of all
sources subject to NSPS. Without such information, enforcement
personnel would be unable to determine if the standards are being met
on a continuous basis, as required by the Clean Air Act.
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 are listed in 40 CFR Part 9 and 48 CFR Chapter 15. The
Federal Register Notice required under 5 CFR 1320.8(d), soliciting
comments on this collection of information was published on June 11,
1996 (61 FR 29551). One commentor telephoned to say he thought EPA's
estimate of one new source annually was low. After consulting with
Regions and AIRS, EPA has decided not to adjust its estimate. The
available data do not indicate the startup of more than one Subpart DD
source in the average year.
The required information consists of emissions data and other
information that have been determined not to be private. However, any
information submitted to the Agency for which a claim of
confidentiality is made will be safeguarded according to the Agency
policies set forth in Title 40, Chapter 1, Part 2, Subpart B--
Confidentiality of Business Information (see 40 CFR 2; 41 FR 36902,
September 1, 1976; amended by 43 FR 40000, September 8, 1978; 43 FR
42251, September 20, 1978; 44 FR 1764, March 23, 1979).
Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average one
hour for each of the estimated 63 established sources, and 42.6 hours
for the estimated one new source every year. 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
[[Page 51447]]
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.
Affected Entities: Grain elevators.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 64.5.
Frequency of Response: On occasion.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 107.1 hours.
Title: NSPS for Petroleum Dry Cleaning Facilities Subpart JJJ (OMB
Control No. 2060-0079; EPA ICR No. 0997.05); expiring November 30,
1996. This is a request for renewal of a currently approved information
collection request.
Abstract: Owners or operators of petroleum dry cleaning 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 startup; notification of any physical or operational
change to an existing facility which may increase the regulated
pollutant emission rate; and the notification of the date of the
initial performance test. Owners or operators are also required to
maintain records for two years of the occurrence and duration of any
startup, shutdown, or malfunction in the operation of the affected
facility. The notifications are used to inform the Agency or delegated
authority when a source becomes subject to the standard. Performance
test records are needed to ensure the source's initial capability to
comply with the emission standards.
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 coltrol numbers for EPA's
regulations are listed in 40 CFR Part 9 and 48 CFR Chapter 15.
The Federal Register Notice required under 5 CFR 1320.8(d),
soliciting comments on this collection of information was published on
June 11, 1996 (61 FR 29551). No comments were received.
Burden Statement: The annual public recordkeeping and reporting
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 82
hours per response for new dry cleaning facilities. This is a one-time
requirement. 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.
Affected Entities: Petroleum dry cleaners.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 216.
Frequency of Response: On occasion.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 1483 hours.
Send comments on the Agency's need for the information in these
collections, the accuracy of the provided burden estimates, and any
suggested methods for minimizing respondent burden, including through
the use of automated collection techniques to the following addresses.
Please refer to the appropriate EPA ICR Number and OMB Control Number
