Title: NESHAP for Steel Pickling, HCl Process Facilities and Hydrochloric Acid Regeneration Plants (Renewal).

ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 1821.07, OMB Control Number 2060–

0419.

ICR Status: This ICR is schedule to expire on May 31, 2012. 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 affected entities are subject to the General Provisions of the NESHAP at 40 CFR part 63, subpart A, and any changes, or additions to the Provisions specified at 40 CFR part 63, subpart CCC. The rule applies to all facilities that pickle steel using hydrochloric acid or regenerate hydrochloric acid, and are major sources or are part of a facility that is a major source.

Owners or operators of the affected
facilities must submit initial notification, performance tests, and periodic reports and results. Owners or operators are also required to maintain
records of the occurrence and duration of any startup, shutdown, or malfunction in the operation of an affected facility, or any period during which the monitoring system is inoperative. Reports, at a minimum, are required semiannually.

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. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 63, subpart CCC, as authorized in section 112 and 114(a) of the Clean Air Act. The required
information consists of emissions data
and other information that have been determined to be private.

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 Number for the EPA regulations are listed in 40 CFR part 9 and 48 CFR chapter 15, and are identified on the form and/or instrument, if applicable.

Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for
this collection of information is estimated to average 168 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: Steel pickling, HCl process facilities and hydrochloric acid regeneration plants.

Estimated Number of Respondents:

72.

Frequency of Response: Initially, occasionally and semiannually.

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:

25,316.

Estimated Total Annual Cost: $2,433,399, which includes $2,425,767 in labor costs, no capital/startup costs, and $7,632 in operation and maintenance (O&M) costs.

Changes in the Estimates: There is no change in the labor hours 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 non-existent, so there is no significant change in the overall burden. However, there is an increase in the total labor and Agency costs as currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved Burdens. This increase is not due to any program changes. The change in cost estimates reflects updated labors rates available
from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Title: Microbial Rules (Renewal).

ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 1895.07,
OMB Control No. 2040–0205.

ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on April 30, 2012. 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 Code of Federal Regulations, 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: The Microbial Rules ICR examines Public Water System, primacy agency, and EPA burden and costs for recordkeeping and reporting requirements in support of the microbial drinking water regulations. These recordkeeping and reporting requirements are mandatory for compliance with 40 CFR parts 141 and 142. The following microbial regulations are included: Surface Water Treatment Rule (SWTR), Total Coliform Rule (TCR), Interim Enhanced Surface Water Treatment Rule (IESWTR), Filter Backwash Recycling Rule (FBRR), Long
Term 1 Enhanced Surface Water Treatment Rule (LT1ESWTR), Long
Term 2 Enhanced Surface Water Treatment Rule (LT2ESWTR), Ground Water Rule (GWR), and the Aircraft Drinking Water Rule (ADWR). Although the Aircraft Drinking Water Rule has a stand-alone ICR at this time, it is being
included into the Microbial ICR due to
the nature of information collected. The
information collected for the Aircraft Drinking Water Rule is directly
correlated to information collected under the Total Coliform Rule, and therefore, is appropriate to be included
in the Microbial ICR. Future microbialrelated rulemakings will be added to
this consolidated ICR after the
