Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 248 / Tuesday, December 27, 2011 / Notices 80937 

section 183(e)(3), the EPA published a 

list of consumer and commercial 

products and a schedule for their 

regulation (60 FR 15264). Architectural 

and industrial maintenance coatings 

were included on the list, and the 

standards for such coatings are codified 

at 40 CFR part 59, subpart D. The 

information collection includes initial 

reports and periodic recordkeeping 

necessary for the EPA to ensure 

compliance with Federal standards for 

volatile organic compounds in 

architectural coatings. Respondents are 

manufacturers, distributors, and 

importers of architectural coatings. 

Responses to the collection are 

mandatory under 40 CFR part 59, 

subpart D—National Volatile Organic 

Compound Emission Standards for 

Architectural Coatings. All information 

submitted to the EPA for which a claim 

of confidentiality is made will be 

safeguarded according to the agency 

policies set forth in 40 CFR part 2, 

subpart B— Confidentiality of Business 

Information. 

Burden Statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average 29 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: 

Manufacturers and importers of 

architectural coatings. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

500. 

Frequency of Response: On occasion. 

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 

14,661. 

Estimated Total Annual Cost: 

$1,261,526, there are no annualized 

capital or O&M costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is a 

decrease of 1,980 hours in the total 

estimated burden currently identified in 

the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR 

Burdens. This decrease is a result of 

fewer tonnage exemptions and 

exceedance fees reports.

suggest alternatives, and substitute 

language for your requested changes.

provide any technical information and/ 

or data that you used. 

• If you estimate potential costs or 

burdens, explain how you arrived at 

your estimate in sufficient detail to 

allow for it to be reproduced. 

• Provide specific examples to 

illustrate your concerns, and suggest 

alternatives. 

• Explain your views as clearly as 

possible. 

• Make sure to submit your 

comments by the comment period 

deadline identified. 

II. Re-Opening of the Public Comment 

Period for the Final 2010 Effluent 

Guidelines Program Plan (‘‘Final 2010 

Plan’’) and the 2011 Effluent Guidelines 

Reviews 

On October 26, 2011 (76 FR 66286), 

EPA published its final 2010 Effluent 

Guidelines Program Plan (‘‘final 2010 

Plan’’), which, as required under the 

Clean Water Act (CWA), identified new 

or existing industrial dischargers, both 

those discharging directly to surface 

waters and those discharging to publicly 

owned treatment works (POTWs), 

selected for effluent guidelines 

rulemaking, and provided a schedule for 

such rulemakings. The Agency solicited 

comments from the public on the final 

Plan for 30 days (to have been submitted 

on or before November 25, 2011). The 

notice also solicited data and 

information (during the same 30-day 

period) for EPA’s 2011 Effluent 

Guidelines Reviews pursuant to the 

authority of CWA sections 304(b), 

304(g), 301(d) and 307(b). 

The Agency received several requests 

for additional time to submit comments. 

In response, EPA is re-opening the 

public comment period and will accept 

additional public comments on its final 

2010 Effluent Guidelines Program Plan, 

which announced schedules to develop 

standards for wastewater discharges 

produced by natural gas extraction from 

underground coalbed and shale 

formations as well as mercury 

discharges from dental offices. EPA is 

also accepting additional data and 

information for its 2011 Effluent 

Guidelines Program Reviews, which 

were announced as a part of the 2010 

Plan released in October. For more 

information visit http://water.epa.gov/ 

lawsregs/lawsguidance/cwa/304m/ 

index.cfm. EPA believes that this 

additional 60-day comment period will 

assist in providing interested 

stakeholders, as well as other members 

of the public, adequate time to review 

the documents and provide written 

comments.
