Changes in the Estimates: There is a 

decrease of 1,552 hours in the total 

estimated burden currently identified in 

the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR 

Burdens. This decrease in burden is due 

to the decrease in the number of 

facilities that EPA estimates will make 

trade secret claims over the next three 

years covered by this ICR.

Title: NESHAP for Mercury 

(Renewal). 

ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 

0113.10, OMB Control Number 2060– 

0097. 

ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to 

expire on August 31, 2009. Under OMB 

regulations, the Agency may continue to 

conduct or sponsor the collection of 

information while this submission is 

pending at OMB. 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 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: The National Emission 

Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants 

(NESHAP) for Mercury, published at 40 

CFR part 61, subpart E, were proposed 

on December 7, 1971, promulgated on 

April 6, 1973, and amended on October 

14, 1975, March 19, 1987, and October 

17, 2000. 

These standards apply to stationary 

sources, which process mercury ore to 

recover mercury, use mercury chloralkali cells to produce chlorine gas and 

alkali metal hydroxide, and either 

incinerate or dry wastewater treatment 

plant sludge. Approximately 107 

sources (100 sludge incineration and 

drying plants and 7 mercury-cell chloralkali plants) are currently subject to the 

standard; and no additional sources are 

expected to become subject to the 

standard in the next three years. 

Mercury is the pollutant regulated 

under this standard. This information is 

being collected to ensure compliance 

with 40 CFR part 61, subpart E. 

Owners or operators of affected 

facilities must make the following onetime only notification; date of 

construction or reconstruction, 

anticipated and actual dates of startup; 

physical or operational change to an 

existing facility; date of initial 

performance test; and results of initial 

performance test. These facilities must 

also maintain records of performance 

test results, and startup, shutdowns, and 

malfunctions. In order to ensure 

compliance with the standards, 

adequate recordkeeping and reporting is 

necessary. This information enables the 

Agency to identify the sources subject to 

the standard, ensure initial compliance 

with emission limits, and verify 

continuous compliance with the 

standard and all other information 

needed to determine compliance with 

the applicable standards. 

Any owner or operator subject to the 

provisions of this subpart must maintain 

a file of these measurements, and retain 

the file for at least two years following 

the collection of such measurements, 

maintenance reports, and records. All 

reports are sent to the delegated state or 

local authority. In the event that there 


pwalker on DSK8KYBLC1PROD with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 151 / Friday, August 7, 2009 / Notices 39697 

is no such delegated authority, the 

reports are sent directly to the EPA 

regional office. 

Burden Statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average 160 hours per 

response. Burden means the total time, 

effort, or financial resources expended 

by persons to generate, maintain, retain, 

or disclose and 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. All existing 

ways will have to adjust to comply with 

any previously applicable instructions 

and requirements that 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: 

Mercury. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

107. 

Frequency of Response: Initially, 

annually and semiannually. 

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 

20,490. 

Estimated Total Annual Cost: 

$1,735,421 in labor costs exclusively. 

There are no capital/startup or O&M 

costs associated with this ICR. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is no 

change in the labor cost in this ICR 

compared to the previous ICR. This is 

due to two considerations: (1) The 

regulations have not changed over the 

past three years and are not anticipated 

to change over the next three years; and 

(2) the growth rate for the industry is 

very low, negative or nonexistent, so 

there is no significant change in the 

overall burden. 

Since there are no changes in the 

regulatory requirements and there is no 

significant industry growth, the labor 

hours and cost figures in the previous 

ICR are used in this ICR, and there is no 

change in burden to industry.
