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

Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 80 / Wednesday, April 25, 2012 / Notices 24701 

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
