Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 182 / Tuesday, September 20, 2011 / Notices 58269 

404 of the Toxic Substances Control Act 

(TSCA) (15 U.S.C. 2682, 2684). 

Sections 402(a) and 402(c)(3) of TSCA 

require EPA to develop and administer 

a training and certification program as 

well as work practice standards for 

persons who perform lead-based paint 

activities and/or renovations. The 

current regulations in 40 CFR part 745, 

subpart E, cover work practice 

standards, recordkeeping and reporting 

requirements, individual and firm 

certification, and enforcement for 

renovations done in target housing or 

child-occupied facilities. The current 

regulations in 40 CFR part 745, subpart 

L, cover inspections, lead hazard 

screens, risk assessments, and 

abatement activities (referred to as 

‘‘lead-based paint activities’’) done in 

target housing and child-occupied 

facilities. The current regulations in 40 

CFR part 745, subpart Q, establish the 

requirements that state or tribal 

programs must meet for authorization to 

administer the standards, regulations, or 

other requirements established under 

TSCA Section 402. (See Attachment 2 

for 40 CFR part 745, subparts E, L and 

Q.) Section 401 of TSCA defines target 

housing as any housing constructed 

before 1978 except housing for the 

elderly or disabled or 0-bedroom 

dwellings. 

Sections 402(a) and 402(c)(3) of TSCA 

require reporting and/or recordkeeping 

from four entities: Firms engaged in 

lead-based paint activities or 

renovations in target housing and childoccupied facilities; individuals who 

perform lead-based paint activities in 

target housing and child-occupied 

facilities; training providers; and states/ 

territories/tribes/Alaskan native 

villages. This information collection 

applies to the reporting and 

recordkeeping requirements outlined 

above. 

Responses to the collection of 

information are mandatory (see 40 CFR 

part 745, subparts E, L and Q). 

Respondents may claim all or part of a 

notice as CBI. EPA will disclose 

information that is covered by a CBI 

claim only to the extent permitted by, 

and in accordance with, the procedures 

in 40 CFR part 2. 

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, are listed in 40 CFR 

part 9 and included on the related 

collection instrument or form, if 

applicable. 

Burden Statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average 0.8 hours for 

individuals, 9.9 hours for firms, and 5.8 

hours for governments per response. 

Burden is defined in 5 CFR 1320.3(b). 

Respondents/Affected Entities: 

Entities potentially affected by this ICR 

are persons who provide training in 

lead-based paint activities and/or 

renovation, persons who are engaged in 

lead-based paint activities and/or 

renovation, and state agencies that 

administer lead-based paint activities 

and/or renovation programs. 

Frequency of Collection: Annual. 

Estimated Average Number of 

Responses for Each Respondent: Varies. 

Estimated No. of Respondents: 

367,815. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden on 

Respondents: 3,312,524 hours. 

Estimated Total Annual Labor Costs: 

$151,077,143. 

Changes in Burden Estimates: This 

request reflects a decrease of 497,229 

hours (from 3,809,753 hours to 

3,312,524 hours) in the total estimated 

respondent burden from that currently 

in the OMB inventory. This decrease 

reflects: EPA’s revisions to the estimated 

number of respondents based on the 

number of respondents reporting to the 

Agency under the prior information 

collection; EPA’s revisions to peractivity burden estimates to simplify 

some assumptions and to make 

estimation methods consistent; and 

characterization as Agency burden some 

burden elements that had previously 

been described as respondent burden. 

The Supporting Statement provides 

details on the change in burden 

estimate. The change is an adjustment.

Title: NESHAP for Friction Materials 

Manufacturing (Renewal). 

ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 

2025.05, OMB Control Number 2060– 

0481. 

ICR Status: This ICR is schedule to 

expire on November 30, 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, 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 Emission 

Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants 

(NESHAP) for Friction Materials 

Manufacturing were proposed on 

October 4, 2001 (66 FR 50768), and 

promulgated on October 18, 2002 (67 FR 

64498). 

These standards apply to any new, 

reconstructed, or existing solvent mixers 

located at any friction materials 

manufacturing facility engaged in the 

manufacture of friction materials such 

as brake and clutch linings. A friction 

materials manufacturing facility is a 

major source of hazardous air pollutant 

(HAP) if it emits or has the potential to 

emit any single HAP at a rate of 9.07 

megagrams (10 tons) or more per year, 

or any combination of HAP at a rate of 

22.68 megagrams (25 tons) or more per 

year. 

Owners or operators must submit 

notification reports upon the 

construction or reconstruction of any 

friction materials manufacturing facility. 

Semiannual reports for periods of 

operation during which the emission 

limitation has exceeded (or reports 

certifying that no exceedances have 

occurred) also are required. Affected 

entities must retain reports and records 

for a total of five years: two years at the 

site, and the remaining three years at an 

off-site location. 

Notifications are used to inform the 

Agency or delegated authority when a 

source becomes subject to the standard. 

The reviewing authority may then 

inspect the source to ensure that the 

pollution control devices are properly 

installed and that the operating standard 

is being met. The information generated 

by monitoring, recordkeeping, and 

reporting requirements described in this 

ICR are used by the Agency to ensure 

that facilities that are affected by the 

standard continue to operate the control 

equipment and achieve continuous 

compliance with the regulation. 

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 EPA’s 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 162 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. All existing 

ways will have to adjust 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: 

Friction materials manufacturing. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 4. 

Frequency of Response: Annually, 

semiannually, initially, and 

occasionally. 

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 

1,296. 

Estimated Total Annual Cost: 

$123,461, which includes $122,373 in 

labor costs, no capital/startup costs, and 

$1,088 in operation and maintenance 

(O&M) costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is no 

change in the labor hours in this ICR as 

compared to the previous ICR. This 

situation 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. There is, 

however, an increase in the estimated 

burden cost as currently identified in 

the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR 

Burdens. The increase is not due to any 

program changes. The change in burden 

cost is due to the use of the most 

updated labor rates.
