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 requiring 

review. 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.

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,

Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 14 / Friday, January 22, 2010 / Notices 3729 

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.

Availability of EPA comments 

prepared pursuant to the Environmental 

Review Process (ERP), under section 

309 of the Clean Air Act and Section 

102(2)© of the National Environmental 

Policy Act as amended. Requests for 

copies of EPA comments can be directed

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.
