### 3728 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 14 / Friday, January 22, 2010 / Notices

Respondents/Affected Entities: Mercury cell chlor-alkali plants.

Estimated Number of Respondents: 9. Frequency of Response: Occasionally and semiannually.

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:
14,553.

Estimated Total Annual Cost: $1,491,712, including $1,417,912 in labor costs, $0 in capital/startup costs, and $73,800 in operation and maintenance (O&M) costs.

Changes in the Estimates: There is a decrease of 5 hours in the total estimated burden currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR Burdens. This decrease is due to the adjustment of number of responses associated with the recordkeeping for mass of virgin mercury added to cells. The decrease in Agency burden resulted from an adjustment to the number of initial compliance status and performance test reports requiringreview. Since these reports are only onetime burdens, and there are no new sources anticipated in the next three years, the only Agency activity associated with this ICR is to review the semi-annual compliance reports. The burden hours and dollars associated with reviewing the one-time activities were removed from the Agency burden.

Title: NESHAP for Taconite Iron Ore Processing (Renewal).

ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 2050.04, OMB Control Number 2060–

0538.

ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on February 28, 2010. 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 National Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) were proposed on December 18, 2002 and promulgated on October 30, 2006. The affected entities are subject to the General Provisions of the NESHAP (40 CFR part 63, subpart A), and any changes, or additions, to the General Provisions specified at 40 CFR part 63, subpart RRRRR.

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 semiannually.

Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 22.6 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: Taconite iron ore processing plants.

Estimated Number of Respondents: 8. Frequency of Response: Initially, occasionally, and semiannually.

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:

651.

Estimated Total Annual Cost: $1,012,546, which includes $754,946 in labor costs, no capital/startup costs, and $257,600 in operation and maintenance (O&M) costs.

Changes in the Estimates: There is an increase of 243 hours in the total estimated burden currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR Burdens. This increase is not due to any program changes. The change in the burden and cost estimates occurred due to an incorrect calculation of the number of responses in the previous ICR. The existing eight respondents are subject to performance testing twice every five years, or 3.2 respondents per year and was changed from 1.6 respondents per year. The increase in labor costs was also due to an increase in labor rates.

Dated: January 15, 2010. John Moses, Director, Collection Strategies Division.

An explanation of the ratings assigned to draft environmental impact statements (EISs) was published in FR dated July 17, 2009 (74 FR 34754).

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 has 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 been including 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, after March 31, 2010, EPA will discontinue the publication of this notice of availability of EPA comments in the Federal Register.
