What information collection activity or 

ICR does this apply to? 

Affected entities: Respondents 

affected by this action are owners/ 

operators of secondary aluminum 

production facilities. The secondary 

aluminum production source category 

includes any establishment using clean 

charge, aluminum scrap, or dross from 

aluminum production, as the raw 

material and performing one or more of 

the following processes: Scrap 

shredding, scrap drying/delacquering/ 

decoating, thermal chip drying, furnace 

operations (i.e., melting, holding, 

sweating, refining, fluxing, or alloying), 

recovery of aluminum from dross, inline fluxing, or dross cooling. A 

secondary aluminum production facility 

may be independent or part of a primary 

aluminum production facility. For 

purposes of this subpart, aluminum die 

casting facilities, aluminum foundries, 

and aluminum extrusion facilities are 

not considered to be secondary 

aluminum production facilities if the 

only materials they melt are clean 

charge, customer returns, or internal 

scrap, and if they do not operate sweat 

furnaces, thermal chip dryers, or scrap 

dryers/delacquering kilns/decoating 

kilns. The federal emission standard 

that is the subject of this information 

collection is National Emission 

Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants 

for Secondary Aluminum Production 

(40 CFR part 63, subpart RRR). 

The North American Industry 

Classification System (NAICS) codes for 

respondents affected by the information 

collection are listed in the following 

table. 

Category Description NAICS code 

Industry ........ Secondary Smelting and Alloying of Aluminum ........................................................................................................ 331314

Title: Information Collection Request 

for the National Emission Standards for 

Hazardous Air Pollutants for Secondary 

Aluminum Production Risk and 

Technology Review. 

ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 2400.01. 

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 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 is being conducted 

by EPA’s Office of Air and Radiation to 

assist the EPA Administrator, as 

required by sections 112(d)(6) and 112(f) 

of the Clean Air Act (CAA), as amended, 

to determine the current affected 

population of secondary aluminum 

production processes and to reevaluate 

emission standards for this source 

category. This one-time collection will 

solicit information under authority of 

CAA section 114. EPA intends to 

provide the survey in electronic format. 

The survey will be sent to all companies 

identified as owning or operating 

secondary aluminum production 

facilities through information available 

to the Agency. EPA envisions allowing 

recipients 60 days to respond to the 

survey. Non-confidential information 

from this ICR would be made available 

to the public. The existing subpart RRR 

NESHAP regulates major sources of 

hazardous air pollutants (HAP) 

emissions from aluminum scrap 

shredders, thermal chip dryers, scrap 

dryers/delacquering kilns/decoating 

kilns, group 2 furnaces, sweat furnaces, 

dross only furnaces, rotary dross 

coolers, and secondary aluminum 

processing units (SAPU). SPAU include 

group 1 furnaces and in-line fluxers. 

Area sources of HAP are regulated only 

with respect to emissions of dioxins/ 

furans from thermal chip dryers, scrap 

dryers/delacquering kilns/decoating 

kilns, sweat furnaces, and SPAU. 

Section 112(f)(2) of the CAA directs 

EPA to conduct risk assessments on 

each source category subject to 

maximum achievable control 

technology (MACT) standards and 

determine if additional standards are 

needed to reduce residual risks. The 

section 112(f)(2) residual risk review is 

to be done within 8 years after 

promulgation. Section 112(d)(6) of the 

CAA requires EPA to review and revise 

the MACT standards, as necessary, 

taking into account developments in 

practices, processes, and control 

technologies. The section 112(d)(6) 

technology review is to be done at least 

every 8 years. The NESHAP for 

Secondary Aluminum Production (40 

CFR part 63, subpart RRR) was first 

promulgated in 2000. In light of the 

statutory requirements for reviewing 

emission standards under CAA section 

112, the Agency has concluded that 

obtaining updated information is 

important to inform its decisions on the 

secondary aluminum production 

NESHAP RTR. 

Additional facility-specific 

information is needed to better 

characterize emission sources, refine the 

risk analysis, and develop revisions to 

the NESHAP, as appropriate. An update 


jlentini on DSKJ8SOYB1PROD with NOTICES
43522 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 142 / Monday, July 26, 2010 / Notices 

of the 2005 National-Scale Air Toxics 

Assessment/National Emissions 

Inventory (NATA/NEI) data sets and 

more specific information needed for 

further rulemaking would be derived 

from the ICR. Information collected 

directly from companies owning or 

operating secondary aluminum 

production facilities will have the 

greatest practical utility for purposes of 

performing the RTR as information from 

the affected industry will contain the 

most up-to-date, accurate, and reliable 

equipment and operational data for each 

facility. 

It is essential for the EPA to have an 

updated database reflecting the postMACT configurations of secondary 

aluminum manufacturing affected 

sources and air pollution control 

systems to use in the regulatory analyses 

required under CAA sections 112(d) and 

(f). 

The data collected will be used to 

update facility information and 

equipment configuration, develop new 

estimates of the population of affected 

units, and identify the control measures 

and emission limits being used for 

compliance with the existing NESHAP. 

This information, along with existing 

permitted emission limits will be used 

to establish a baseline for purposes of 

the regulatory reviews. The emissions 

test data collected will be used to verify 

the performance of existing control 

measures, examine variability in 

emissions, evaluate emission limits, and 

to determine the performance of 

superior control measures that may be 

considered for purposes of reducing 

residual risk. Emissions data may also 

be used along with process and 

emission unit details to consider 

subcategories for further regulation and 

to estimate the environmental and cost 

impacts associated with any regulatory 

options considered. 

In addition to informing the RTR 

regulatory analyses for the secondary 

aluminum production industry, it is 

EPA’s intent that the NATA/NEI 

updates supplied through this 

information collection be used in future 

versions of the NATA/NEI and its 

successor, the Emissions Inventory 

System. The NEI is used by EPA, States, 

and the public for a variety of purposes 

including tracking of national trends in 

emissions of criteria and hazardous air 

pollutants. More information in the NEI 

can be found at http://www.epa.gov/air/ 

data/neidb.html. 

This collection of information is 

mandatory under CAA section 114 (42 

U.S.C. 7414). All information submitted 

to EPA pursuant to this ICR for which 

a claim of confidentiality is made is 

safeguarded according to Agency 

policies in 40 CFR part 2, subpart B. 

Burden Statement: The projected cost 

and hour burden for industry for this 

one-time collection of information is 

$3,430,000 and 36,248 hours. This 

burden is based on an estimated 400 

respondents to the survey. This ICR 

does not include any requirements that 

would cause the respondents to incur 

either capital or start-up costs. 

Operation and maintenance costs of 

$1200 are estimated for postage to mail 

in the survey response to EPA. 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. 

The ICR provides a detailed 

explanation of the Agency’s estimate, 

which is only briefly summarized here. 

Estimated total number of potential 

respondents: 400. 

Frequency of response: One time. 

Estimated total average number of 

responses for each respondent: 1. 

Estimated total annual burden hours: 

36,248. 

Estimated total annual burden costs: 

$3,430,000. 

What is the next step in the process for 

this ICR? 

EPA will consider the comments 

received and amend the ICR as 

appropriate. The final ICR package will 

then be submitted to OMB for review 

and approval pursuant to 5 CFR 

1320.12. At that time, EPA will issue 

another Federal Register notice 

pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.5(a)(1)(iv) to 

announce the submission of the ICR to 

OMB and the opportunity to submit 

additional comments to OMB. 

If you have any questions about this 

ICR or the approval process, please

Notice of Supplemental Determination 

for Renewable Fuels Produced Under 

the Final RFS2 Program From Canola 

Oil 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice of Data Availability 

(NODA). 

SUMMARY: On March 26, 2010, the 

Environmental Protection Agency 

published changes to the Renewable 

Fuel Standard (RFS) program as 

required by the Energy Independence 

and Security Act (EISA) of 2007. EISA 

increased the volume of renewable fuel 

required to be blended into 

transportation fuel to 36 billion gallons 

by 2022. Furthermore, the Act 

established new eligibility requirements 

for four types of renewable fuel, each 

with their own annual volume 

mandates. The eligibility requirements 

include minimum lifecycle greenhouse 

gas (GHG) reduction thresholds for each 

type of renewable fuel. EPA conducted 

lifecycle GHG analyses for a number of 

biofuel feedstocks and production 

pathways as part of its March 26, 2010 

final rule but, as indicated in the final 

rule, we did not have time to complete 

all the planned lifecycle GHG 

assessments for several specific 

renewable fuel pathways. Since the final 

rule, we have completed an assessment 

for an additional renewable fuel 

pathway, canola oil biodiesel. This 

Notice of Data Availability provides 

interested parties with information and 

an opportunity to comment on our 

proposed lifecycle analysis of canola oil 

biodiesel. 

DATES: Comments must be received on 

or before August 25, 2010.
