Title: Trade Secret Claims for 

Emergency Planning and Community 

Right-to-Know Act (Renewal). 

ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 1428.08, 

OMB Control No. 2050–0078. 

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, 

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 information collection 

request pertains to trade secrecy claims 

submitted under section 322 of the 

Emergency Planning and Community 

Right-to-Know Act of 1986 (EPCRA), 

also known as Title III of SARA, the 

Superfund Amendments and 

Reauthorization Act. Title III contains 

provisions requiring facilities to report 

to State and local authorities, and EPA, 

the presence, use and release of 

extremely hazardous substances 

(described in sections 302 and 304) and 

hazardous and toxic chemicals 

(described in sections 311, 312 and 313 

respectively). Section 322 of Title III 

allows a facility to withhold the specific 

chemical identity from these Title III 

reports if the facility asserts a claim of 

trade secrecy for that chemical identity. 

The provision establishes the 

requirements and procedures that 

facilities must follow to request trade 

secrecy treatment of chemical identities, 

as well as the procedures for submitting 

public petitions to the Agency for 

review of the ‘‘sufficiency’’ of trade 

secrecy claims. EPA published the trade 

secrecy regulations on July 29, 1988 (58 

FR 28772), codified in 40 CFR part 350. 

Burden Statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average 9.5 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: 

Entities that submit trade secret claims, 

including the manufacturing sector, coal 

and metal mining, electric utilities, 

construction, dry cleaners, chemical and 

paper manufacturers. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

327. 

Frequency of Response: Annually. 

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 

3,106 hours. 

Estimated Total Annual Cost: 

$195,447, which includes no annualized 

capital or O&M costs.

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.

0097. 

ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to 

expire on August 31, 2009. Under OMB 

regulations, the Agency may continue to

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
