Title: NSPS for Hospital/Medical/ Infectious Waste Incinerators (Renewal).

ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 1730.09, OMB Control Number 2060–

0363.

ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on January 31, 2013. Under OMB regulations, the Agency may continue to conduct or sponsor the collection of information while this submission is pending at OMB.

Abstract: 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 Provisions specified at 40 CFR part 60, subpart Ec.

Owners or operators of the affected facilities must make an initial notification report, performance tests, periodic reports, and 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. Reports are also required semiannually.

Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 115 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 and operators of hospital, medical or infectious waste incinerators.

Estimated Number of Respondents: 5. Frequency of Response: Initially, occasionally, semiannually and annually.

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:
3,912.

Estimated Total Annual Cost: $664,375, which includes $378,826 in labor costs, $90,924 in capital/startup costs, and $194,625 in operation and maintenance (O&M) costs.

Changes in the Estimates: There is an adjustment increase in the total estimated burden as currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved Burdens; however, this increase is not due to any program changes. The change in the burden and cost estimates occurred because the revised standard has been in effect for more than three years and the requirements are different during initial compliance for new facilities, as compared to on-going compliance for existing facilities. The previous ICR reflected those burdens and costs associated with the initial activities for subject facilities. This includes purchasing monitoring equipment, conducting performance tests and establishing recordkeeping systems. This ICR reflects the on-going burden and costs for existing facilities. Activities for existing source include continuously monitoring of pollutants and the submission of semiannual reports. In addition, there are a number of new facilities that are in the initial compliance phase described above. The overall result is an increase in burden hours, labor costs, and O&M costs. Furthermore, a portion of the labor cost increase is a result of increased labor rates. This ICR uses updated labor rates from the Bureau of Labor Statistics to calculate burden costs.

Additionally, there is an adjustment decrease in capital costs in this ICR compared to the previous ICR. This is not due to any program changes. The previous ICR assumed all capital costs associated with monitoring were incurred during a single year; whereas this ICR calculates the average capital costs for new sources of each year that is covered under the ICR.

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION** :

I. General Information
A. Does this action apply to me?

You may be potentially affected by this action if you are an agricultural producer, food manufacturer, or pesticide manufacturer. The following list of North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) codes is not intended to be exhaustive, but rather provides a guide to help readers determine whether this document applies to them. Potentially affected entities may include:

• Crop production (NAICS code 111).

• Animal production (NAICS code 112).

• Food manufacturing (NAICS code 311).

• Pesticide manufacturing (NAICS code 32532).
B. What should I consider as I prepare my comments for EPA?

1. Submitting CBI. Do not submit this information to EPA through www.regulations.gov or email. Clearly mark the part or all of the information that you claim to be CBI. For CBI information in a disk or CD–ROM that you mail to EPA, mark the outside of the disk or CD–ROM as CBI and then identify electronically within the disk or CD–ROM the specific information that is claimed as CBI. In addition to one complete version of the comment that includes information claimed as CBI, a copy of the comment that does not contain the information claimed as CBI must be submitted for inclusion in the public docket. Information so marked will not be disclosed except in accordance with procedures set forth in 40 CFR part 2.

2. Tips for preparing your comments. When submitting comments, remember

to:

i. Identify the document by docket ID number and other identifying information (subject heading, Federal Register date and page number).

ii. Follow directions. The Agency may ask you to respond to specific questions or organize comments by referencing a Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) part or section number.

iii. Explain why you agree or disagree; suggest alternatives and substitute language for your requested changes.

iv. Describe any assumptions and provide any technical information and/ or data that you used.

v. If you estimate potential costs or burdens, explain how you arrived at your estimate in sufficient detail to allow for it to be reproduced.

vi. Provide specific examples to illustrate your concerns and suggest alternatives.

vii. Explain your views as clearly as possible, avoiding the use of profanity or personal threats.

viii. Make sure to submit your comments by the comment period deadline identified.

3. Environmental justice. EPA seeks to achieve environmental justice, the fair treatment and meaningful involvement of any group, including minority and/or low income populations, in the development, implementation, and enforcement of environmental laws, regulations, and policies. To help address potential environmental justice issues, the Agency seeks information on any groups or segments of the population who, as a result of their location, cultural practices, or other factors, may have a typical or disproportionately high and adverse human health impacts or environmental effects from exposure to the pesticide(s) discussed in this document, compared to the general population.
II. What action is the agency taking?

Under section 18 of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) (7 U.S.C. 136p), at the discretion of the Administrator, a Federal or State agency may be exempted from any provision of FIFRA if the Administrator determines that emergency conditions exist which require the exemption. The Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection has requested the EPA Administrator to issue a specific exemption for the use of 3-decen-2-one on potatoes in storage facilities to burn off already emerged sprouts. Information in accordance with 40 CFR part 166 was submitted as part of this request.

As part of this request, the applicant asserts that the 2012 growing season started 2–3 weeks early and was unseasonably warmer by 3–5 degrees Fahrenheit. This resulted in potatoes sprouting early in storage facilities, and thus the need to control the sprouting to prevent potential economic loss. Buyers can reject or mark down full loads of potatoes even if minor sprouting is observed. Currently, there are many stored potatoes with sprouts greater than 1 millimeter (mm) in Wisconsin. 3- decen-2-one is the best option for stored potatoes because it burns off existing sprouts, even those greater than 1 mm. The majority of alternatives do not burn off existing sprouts nor can they be used on sprouts greater than 1 mm. If the use of 3-decen-2-one is not permitted, the economic loss to the state of Wisconsin is estimated at 40% of the state’s potato crop or up to 500,000 tons.

The applicant proposes to make no more than two applications of the chemical with at least 7 days between applications (retreatment interval), the maximum number of stored potatoes to be treated is 10,000,000 hundredweight (cwt) or 500,000 tons. The total amount of product is 16,406 gallons or 16,078 gallons of active ingredient, during the growing season from now through July 2013. The use of 3-decen-2-one is permissible in the following Wisconsin counties: Adams, Barron, Chippewa, Columbia, Green Lake, Iowa, Jefferson, Juneau, Marquette, Portage, Richland, Sauk, Shawano, Waushara, Waupaca, Wood, Langlade, and Oneida.

This notice does not constitute a decision by EPA on the application itself. The regulations governing section 18 of FIFRA require publication of a notice of receipt of an application for a specific exemption proposing use of a new chemical (i.e., an active ingredient) which has not been registered by EPA. The notice provides an opportunity for public comment on the application.

The Agency, will review and consider all comments received during the comment period in determining whether to issue the specific exemption requested by the Wisconsin Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer
Protection.

III. Summary of Public Comments Received and Agency Response to
Comments

During the public comment period provided, EPA received one comment in response to the November 21, 2012 Federal Register notice announcing the Agency’s receipt of the request for voluntary cancellation of the products listed in Table 1of Unit 2, and the label amendment of the product listed in Table 2 of Unit II. The Pesticide Action Network International (PAN) expressed support for the proposed cancellations. However, PAN also requested that EPA prohibit the use of the iodemethane technical product in the U.S. to formulate products for export. In the November 21, 2012 notice, EPA referenced a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) between the technical registrant for iodomethane and EPA. One provision of the MOA requires Arysta to voluntarily amend its technical product label to only allow sale and distribution for export purposes after January 1, 2013. Section 17 of FIFRA (7 U.S.C. 136o), and EPA regulations at 40 CFR part 168 Subpart D have specific requirements that apply to the export of unregistered pesticide, but these provisions do not provide EPA with authority to ban the export of pesticides registered under Section 3 of FIFRA, or cancelled pesticides. For these reasons, the Agency does not believe that the comment submitted by PAN merits further review or a denial of the requests for voluntary cancellation and a label amendment.

IV. Cancellation Order

Pursuant to FIFRA section 6(f), EPA hereby approves the requested cancellations and label amendment of
