Title: NESHAP for Benzene Waste 

Operations (Renewal). 

ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 

1541.10, OMB Control Number 2060– 

0183. 

ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to 

expire on August 31, 2012. Under OMB 

regulations, the Agency may continue to 

either conduct or sponsor the collection 

of information while this submission is 

pending at OMB. 

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 

Provisions specified at 40 CFR part 61, 

subpart FF. 

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. 

Burden Statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average 71 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 benzene waste 

operations. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

270. 

Frequency of Response: Initially, 

occasionally, quarterly, and 

semiannually. 

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 

19,148. 

Estimated Total Annual Cost: 

$1,834,697, which includes $1,834,697 

in labor costs exclusively, with no 

capital/startup costs, and no operation 

and maintenance (O&M) costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is an 

increase in costs for both the 

respondents and the Agency from the 

most recently approved ICR. The 

increase in burden cost is due to 

adjustments in labor rates. This ICR uses 

updated labor rates from the Bureau of 

Labor Statistics to calculate burden 

costs. 

There is an increase of one hour in the 

Agency burden related to a 

mathematical rounding error in the 

previous ICR. There is no change in the 

estimation methodology for labor hours 

to the respondents 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 respondents is very low, 

negative, or non-existent.
