ICR Title: Application and Summary 

Report for an Emergency Exemption for 

Pesticides. 

ICR Status: This is a request for 

extension of an existing approved 

collection that is currently scheduled to 

expire on November 30, 2004. EPA is 

asking OMB to approve this ICR for 

three years. Under OMB regulations at 

5 CFR 1320.12(b)(2), the Agency may 

continue to conduct or sponsor the 

collection of information while the 

submission is pending at OMB. 

Abstract: Section 18 of the Federal 

Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide 

Act (FIFRA) authorizes EPA to grant 

emergency exemptions to State, U.S. 

Territorial and Federal agencies to allow 

an unregistered use of a pesticide for a 

limited time if EPA determines that 

emergency conditions exist, whether 

use of the pesticide under the 

exemption will be protective of human 

health and the environment, and to 

evaluate the effectiveness of the 

requested product in allaying the 

emergency. This data collection 

program is designed to provide EPA 

with necessary data to evaluate an 

application for a permit for the 

temporary shipment and use of a 

pesticide product for an unregistered 

use to mitigate an emergency situation 

and to evaluate the effectiveness of that 

product in allaying the emergency. 

State, U.S. Territorial, and Federal 

agencies submit applications for section 

18 emergency exemptions at their 

discretion in accordance with 40 CFR 

part 166. After EPA has granted a 

section 18 emergency exemption to a 

given government agency, the 

requesting agency must submit to EPA 

information related to any unexpected 

adverse effects resulting from the use of 

the pesticide and a report summarizing 

the results of the pesticide use. These 

government agencies must also maintain 

records for all treatments involving the 

first food use of a pesticide and make 

them available to EPA upon request. 

Burden Statement: The annual 

‘‘respondent’’ burden for this ICR is 

estimated to be 99 hours per response. 

According to the Paperwork Reduction 

Act, ‘‘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. For this collection, 

it is the time reading the regulations, 

planning the necessary data collection 

activities, conducting tests, analyzing 

data, generating reports and completing 

other required paperwork, and storing, 

filing, and maintaining the data. The 

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 number for 

this information collection appear at the 

beginning and the end of this document. 

In addition OMB control numbers for 

EPA’s regulations, after initial display in 

the final rule, are listed in 40 CFR part 

9. 

The following is a summary of the 

burden estimates taken from the ICR: 

Respondents/affected entities: State 

Agency, U.S. Territory, or Federal 

Agency. 

Estimated total number of potential 

respondents: 50. 

Frequency of response: On occasion. 

Estimated total/average number of 

responses for each respondent: 10. 

Estimated total annual burden hours:

49,500. 

Estimated total annual labor costs:

$2,683,000. 

Changes in the ICR Since the Last 

Approval: The annual burden has 

decreased from 59,400 to 49,500 hours 

due to the drop in the overall number 

of section 18 emergency exemption 

applications filed annually, from 600 for 

the period 1998–2000 to approximately 

500 for the period 2001–2003. The 9,900 

hour decrease in annual burden reflects 

an adjustment to the estimated annual 

burden for this ICR.

Title: NSPS for Portland Cement 

Plants (40 CFR part 60, subpart F) 

(Renewal). 

Abstract: Particulate matter emissions 

from portland cement plants cause or 

contribute to air pollution that may 

reasonably be anticipated to endanger 

public health or welfare. Therefore, 

NSPS were promulgated for this source 

category. 

The control of emissions of 

particulate matter from portland cement 

plants requires not only the installation 

of properly designed equipment, but 

also the operation and maintenance of 

that equipment. Emissions of particulate 

matter from portland cement plants are 

the result of operation of kilns, clinker 

coolers, raw mill systems, raw mill 

dryers, raw material storage, clinker 

storage, finished product storage, 

conveyor transfer points, bagging and 

bulk loading and unloading systems. 

These standards rely on the capture of 

particulate emissions by a baghouse or 

electrostatic precipitator. 

In order to ensure compliance with 

these standards, adequate reporting and 

recordkeeping is necessary. In the 

absence of such information, 

enforcement personnel would be unable 

to determine whether the standards are 

being met on a continuous basis, as 

required by the Clean Air Act. 

All reports are sent to the delegated 

state or local authority. In the event that 

there is no such delegated authority, the 

reports are sent directly to the EPA 

regional office. Notifications are used to 

inform the Agency or delegated 

authority when a source becomes 

subject to the standard. The reviewing 

authority may then inspect the source to 

check if the pollution control devices 

are properly installed and operated. 

Performance test reports are needed as 

these are the Agency’s record of a 

source’s initial capability to comply 

with the emission standard and note the 

operating conditions under which 

compliance was achieved. The quarterly 

reports are used for problem 

identification, as a check on source 

operation and maintenance, and for 

compliance determinations. The 

standard also requires semiannual 

reporting of deviations from monitored 

opacity, as this is a good indicator of the 

source’s compliance status. 

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, 

and are identified on the form and/or 

instrument, if applicable. 

Burden Statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average 64.4 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; 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:

Portland Cement Plants. 

Estimated Number of Respondents:

118. 

Frequency of Response: Initially and 

semiannually. 

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:

15,978 hours. 

Estimated Total Annual Costs:

$1,552,045, which includes $37,000 

annualized capital/startup costs, 

$495,600 annual O&M costs, and 

$1,019,445 annual labor costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is an 

increase of 8,010 hours in the total 

estimated burden currently identified in 

the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR 

Burdens. This increase is primarily due 

to an increase in the estimated number 

of existing affected sources from 113 to 

118 and an increase in the number of 

hours to submit semiannual reports 

from 16 hours to 24 hours.
