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
