### 19771 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 68 / Friday, April 8, 2011 / Notices

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: To determine compliance with the NAAQS, State air monitoring agencies are required to use, in their air quality monitoring networks, air monitoring methods that have been formally designated by the EPA as either reference or equivalent methods under EPA regulations at 40 CFR part 53. A
manufacturer or seller of an air monitoring method ( e.g. an air monitoring sampler or analyzer) that seeks to obtain such EPA designation of one of its products must carry out prescribed tests of the method. The test
results and other information must then
be submitted to the EPA in the form of an application for a reference or equivalent method determination in accordance with 40 CFR part 53. The EPA uses this information, under the provisions of part 53, to determine whether the particular method should be designated as either a reference or equivalent method. After a method is designated, the applicant must also
maintain records of the names and mailing addresses of all ultimate purchasers of all analyzers or samplers sold as designated methods under the method designation. If the method designated is a method for fine particulate matter (PM2.5 ) and coarse particulate matter (PM 10–2.5 ), the applicant must also submit a checklist signed by an ISO-certified auditor to indicate that the samplers or analyzers sold as part of the designated method
are manufactured in an ISO 9001- registered facility. Also, an applicant must submit a minor application to seek approval for any proposed modifications to previously designated
methods.

A response to this collection of information is voluntary, but it is required to obtain the benefit of EPA designation under 40 CFR part 53.
Submission of some information that is claimed by the applicant to be confidential business information may be necessary to make a reference or equivalent method determination. The confidentiality of any submitted information identified as confidential business information by the applicant will be protected in full accordance with 40 CFR part 53.15 and all applicable provisions of 40 CFR part 2.

Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for
this collection of information is estimated to average approximately 341 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.

The ICR provides a detailed explanation of the Agency’s estimate, which is only briefly summarized here:

Estimated total number of potential respondents: 22.

Frequency of response: Annual. Estimated total average number of responses for each respondent: 1.

Estimated total annual respondent
burden hours: 7,492.

Estimated total respondent annual

costs: $681,625. This includes an estimated burden labor cost of $546,248, an estimated cost of $111,894 for capital investment, and an estimated $23,483 for operational and maintenance costs.

Are there changes in the estimates from the last approval?

A comprehensive review of ongoing and expected NAAQS reviews encompassing this ICR’s period of performance determined that there is no expected change in the respondent burden, either with regards to labor hours or costs. Similarly, there is no expected change in the Agency burden (either hours or costs) associated with any expected changes in NAAQS regulations during this ICR’s period of performance.

What is the next step in the process for
this ICR?

EPA will consider the comments
received and amend the ICR as appropriate. The final ICR package will
then be submitted to OMB for review and approval pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.12. At that time, EPA will issue
another Federal Register notice pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.5(a)(1)(iv) to
announce the submission of the ICR to OMB and the opportunity to submit
additional comments to OMB.

Title: NESHAP for Vinyl Chloride (Renewal).

ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 0186.12, OMB Control Number 2060–

0071.

ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on May 31, 2011. 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: The affected entities are subject to the General Provisions of the NESHAP at 40 CFR part 61, subpart A, and any changes, or additions to the General Provisions specified at 40 CFR part 61, subpart F.

Owners or operators of the affected facilities must submit a one-time-only report of any physical or operational changes, initial 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 quarterly.

Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for
this collection of information is estimated to average 60 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 vinyl chloride production facilities.

Estimated Number of Respondents:

28.

Frequency of Response: Initially, quarterly and on-occasion.

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:

11,826.

Estimated Total Annual Cost: $2,369,531, which includes $1,109,531 in labor costs, no capital/startup costs and $1,260,000 in operation and maintenance (O&M) costs.

Changes in the Estimates: There is no change in the total estimated burden currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR Burdens. This is due to two considerations. First, the regulations have not changed over the past three years and are not anticipated to change over the next three years. Secondly, the growth rate for the respondents is very low, negative, or non-existent. It should be noted that there is an apparent increase of one hour in respondent labor hours.
This is due to the retention of decimal places in the Table 1 calculations and final rounding.

The capital/startup and operation and
maintenance costs remain the same. The increase in cost to respondents is due to updating of the labor rates to reflect the
most recent available estimates.

Dated: April 4, 2011.

Notice

In accordance with Section 309(a) of the Clean Air Act, EPA is required to make its comments on EISs issued by other Federal agencies public. Historically, EPA met this mandate by publishing weekly notices of availability of EPA comments, which includes a brief summary of EPA’s comment letters, in the Federal Register. Since February 2008, EPA has included its
comment letters on EISs on its Web site

at: http://www.epa.gov/compliance/ nepa/eisdata.html. Including the entire
EIS comment letters on the Web site satisfies the Section 309(a) requirement
to make EPA’s comments on EISs available to the public. Accordingly, on March 31, 2010, EPA discontinued the publication of the notice of availability
of EPA comments in the Federal Register
