Title: NSPS for Beverage Can Surface 

Coating (Renewal). 

ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 

0663.10, OMB Control Number 2060– 

0001. 

ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to 

expire on October 30, 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: Respondents are owners or 

operators of beverage can surface 

coating facilities. These standards apply 

to each beverage can surface coating 

operation in which organic coatings are 

applied (exterior base coat operations, 

over varnish coating operations, and 

inside spray coating operations) that 

commenced construction, modification 

or reconstruction after November 26, 

1980. Owners or operators of the 

affected facilities described must make 

initial reports when a source becomes 

subject to the standards, conduct and 

report on a performance test, 

demonstrate and report on continuous 

monitor performance, and maintain 

records of the occurrence and duration 

of any startup, shutdown, or 

malfunction in the operation of an 

affected facility. Semiannual reports of 

excess emissions are required. These 

notifications, reports, and records are 

essential in determining compliance; 

and are required, in general, of all 

sources subject to New Source 

Performance Standards (NSPS). 

Any owner or operator subject to the 

provisions of this part shall maintain a 

file of these measurements, and retain 

the file for at least five years following 

the date of such measurements, 

maintenance reports, and records. All 

reports are sent to the delegated State or 

local authority. In the event that there 

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 43 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 or operators of beverage can 

surface coating facilities. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

48. 

Frequency of Response: 

Semiannually, On Occasion, Initially. 

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 

5,134. 

Estimated Total Annual Cost: 

$515,230—which includes $414,430 in 

labor costs, $100,800 in annual 

Operation and Maintenance (O&M) 

costs, and no capital/startup costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is no 

change in the burden hours or cost to 

the respondents 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 respondents is very low, negative or 

nonexistent. Therefore, the labor hours 

and cost figures in the previous ICR 

reflect the current burden to the 

respondents and are reiterated in this 

ICR. It should be noted that there is a 

minor correction of $200 to the O&M 

costs due to rounding errors in the 

previous ICR.

Clean Water Act Section 303(d): 

Preliminary Notice of Total Maximum 

Daily Load (TMDL) Development for 

the Chesapeake Bay 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice and initial request for 

public input. 

SUMMARY: This notice announces the 

intent of EPA to establish a Chesapeake 

Bay-wide Total Maximum Daily Load 

(TMDL) for nutrients and sediment for 

all impaired segments in the tidal 

portion of the Chesapeake Bay 

watershed. This action is being taken 

pursuant to section 303(d) of the Clean 

Water Act (CWA). To provide 

information to the public regarding the 

process, approach and implications of 

this action, EPA will hold a series of 

public meetings in late 2009 on dates 

and in locations to be determined. A 

second public comment period will be 

held in the summer of 2010 once a draft 

Chesapeake Bay TMDL is developed. 

This TMDL is being developed 

consistent with the requirements of two 

Consent Decrees settling the following 

lawsuits: American Canoe Association, 

Inc. and the American Littoral Society v. 

EPA, Civil No. 98–979–A (E.D. Va) and 

Kingman Park Civic Association, et al. 

v. U.S. Environmental Protection 

Agency, et al., No. 1:98CV00758 

(D.D.C.). By this notice, EPA is soliciting 

preliminary input from the public on its 

plans for developing this Chesapeake 

Bay TMDL. EPA requests that the public 

provide to EPA any water quality 

related data and information that may 

be relevant to the development and 

calculation of the Chesapeake Bay 

TMDL by December 18, 2009. EPA will 

review all data and information 

submitted during the public comment 

period and will consider them in the 

development of the TMDL as 

appropriate. 

DATES: Comments must be submitted in 

writing to EPA on or before December 

18, 2009. If you anticipate that you will 

be submitting comments, but find it 

difficult to do so within the period of 

time allowed by this notice, you should 

advise the contact listed below as soon 

as possible. 

ADDRESSES: You may submit comments 

on the development of the Chesapeake 

Bay TMDL by e-mail or U.S. post mail.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Section 

303(d) of the CWA requires that each 

State identify those waters within its 

boundaries for which existing 

technology-based pollution controls 

required by the CWA are not stringent 

enough to attain or maintain State water 

quality standards. States are required to 

establish TMDLs for those ‘‘impaired’’ 

waters. TMDLs are pollution budgets 

designed to identify necessary 

reductions of pollutant loads to the 

impaired waters so that the appropriate 

water quality standards are met, 

including designated uses like fishing or 

swimming and water quality criteria for 

parameters such as dissolved oxygen 

and water clarity. 

Why is a TMDL being developed for 

the Chesapeake Bay? The Chesapeake 

Bay is a national treasure constituting 

the largest estuary in the United States 

and one of the largest and most 

biologically productive estuaries in the 

world. Despite significant efforts by 

Federal, State, and local governments 

and other interested parties, water 

pollution in the Chesapeake Bay 

prevents the attainment of existing State 

water quality standards. The pollutants 

that are largely responsible for 

impairment of the Chesapeake Bay are 

nutrients, in the form of nitrogen and 

phosphorus, and sediment. EPA, in 

coordination with the Bay watershed 

jurisdictions of Maryland, Virginia, 

Pennsylvania, Delaware, West Virginia, 

New York and the District of Columbia, 

will establish a nutrient and sediment 

pollution budget for the Bay consistent 

with CWA requirements to guide and 

assist Chesapeake Bay restoration 

efforts. A primary driver for the 

schedule to develop the Chesapeake Bay 

TMDL is the Virginia TMDL Consent 

Decree settling the lawsuit American 

Canoe Association, Inc. and the 

American Littoral Society v. EPA, Civil 

No. 98–979–A (E.D. Va). Portions of the 

Chesapeake Bay and its tidal tributaries 

were identified as impaired for aquatic 

life uses and exceedance of the numeric 

criteria for dissolved oxygen caused by 

nutrient and sediment pollutants on 

Virginia’s 1998 section 303(d) list of 

impaired waters. Other Bay and tidal 

tributary segments impaired by 

nutrients and sediment have been 

identified on Maryland and the District 

of Columbia section 303(d) lists. Under 

the Virginia TMDL Consent Decree, EPA 

is obligated to establish a TMDL for the 

Bay’s waters identified on the 1998 

Virginia list including those aquatic life 

use impairments caused by the nutrient 

and sediment pollutants by no later than 

May 1, 2011, if those waters are not 

previously removed from the list or if
