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: 

Respondents in DMR–QA studies are 

NPDES permittees designated by the 

EPA region or state with permitting 

responsibility and the laboratories doing 

whole-effluent toxicity testing for these 

major dischargers. These respondents 

are most likely from the following SIC 

Codes: 2011—through 3999—

Manufacturers; 4941—Water supply 

systems; 4952—Sewerage systems; 

8734—Water testing laboratories. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

7516. 

Frequency of Response: Once 

annually. 

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 

47,351 hours. 

Estimated Total Annual Cost: 

$2,494,260, includes $1,240,140 

annualized O&M costs and $1,254,120 

annual labor costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is a 

decrease of 132,984 hours in the total 

estimated burden currently identified in 

the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR 

Burdens. This decrease is primarily due 

to the fact that this renewal ICR does not 

include burden associated with the 

Water Pollution and Water Supply 

studies that were covered under the 

previous ICR. Some of this decrease was 

offset by a slight increase in the number 

of respondents, burden hours and costs 

for the DMR–QA study

Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 91 / Friday, May 11, 2007 / Notices 26813 

Abstract: This Information Collection 

Request (ICR) renewal is being 

submitted for the Air Emission 

Standards for Tanks, Surface 

Impoundments and Containers (40 CFR 

Part 264, Subpart CC and 40 CFR Part 

265, Subpart CC), which were 

promulgated on December 6, 1994. The 

requirements of this subpart apply to 

owners and operators of all facilities 

that treat, store, or dispose of hazardous 

wastes in tanks, surface impoundments 

and containers that are subject to 

subparts I, J or K of these parts, except 

for Sections 264.1 and 265.1 and those 

management units identified at Sections 

264.1080(b) and 265.1080(b). Also, the 

requirements of this subpart apply to 

large quantity generators that manage 

hazardous wastes in either tanks, or 

containers (262.34(a)(1)(i and ii)). The 

affected entities are subject to the 

General Provisions of the NSPS at 40 

CFR part 60, subpart A and any changes, 

or additions to the General Provisions 

specified at 40 CFR part 264, subpart CC 

and 40 CFR part 265, subpart CC. 

Burden Statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average 114 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: 

Entities potentially affected by this 

action are sewage tanks, surface 

impoundments and containers. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

6,209. 

Frequency of Response: Annually and 

semiannually. 

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 

711,409. 

Estimated Total Annual Cost: 

$57,632,335, which is comprised of $0 

in annualized capital/start-up costs, 

$12,418,000 O&M costs, and 

$45,214,335 in labor costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is a 

small reduction of 68 hours in total 

hourly burden. This change is due to the 

correction of a mathematical error in the 

total estimated burden currently 

identified in the OMB Inventory of 

Approved ICR Burdens. 

Dated: April 25, 2007.

Clean Air Act Operating Permit 

Program; Petition To Object to Title V 

Permit for BP Exploration (Alaska) 

Inc.’s Gathering Center 1, Prudhoe 

Bay, AK 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice of final order on petition 

to object to state operating permit. 

SUMMARY: Pursuant to Clean Air Act 

(CAA) section 505(b)(2) and 40 CFR 

70.8(d), the EPA Administrator signed 

an order dated April 20, 2007, denying 

a petition to object to a state operating 

permit issued by the Alaska Department 

of Environmental Conservation (ADEC) 

to BP Exploration (Alaska) Inc.’s (BPX) 

Gathering Center 1 (Revision 1 to GC1 

permit), Prudhoe Bay, Alaska. This 

order constitutes final action on the 

petition filed by Public Employees for 

Environmental Responsibility (PEER) on 

behalf of Bill MacClarence on April 14, 

2004, requesting that EPA object to the 

issuance of Revision 1 to the GC1 

permit. Pursuant to section 505(b)(2) of 

the CAA, any person may seek judicial 

review in the United States Court of 

Appeals for the appropriate circuit 

within 60 days of this notice under 

section 307 of the CAA. 

ADDRESSES: Copies of the final order, the 

petition, and all pertinent information 

relating thereto are on file at the 

following location: Environmental 

Protection Agency, Region 10, Office of 

Air, Waste, and Toxics (AWT–107), 

1200 Sixth Avenue, Seattle, Washington 

98101. The final order is also available 

electronically at the following Web site: 

http://www.epa.gov/region07/programs/ 

artd/air/title5/petitiondb/ 

petitiondb.htm. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Natasha Greaves, Office of Air, Waste 

and Toxics, EPA Region 10, telephone 

(206) 553–7079, e-mail 

greaves.natasha@epa.gov. Interested 

parties may also contact the Alaska 

Department of Environmental 

Conservation, Division of Air Quality, 

555 Cordova Street, Anchorage, Alaska 

99501–2617. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

The Clean Air Act affords EPA a 45- 

day period to review and object to, as 

appropriate, operating permits proposed 

by state permitting authorities. Section 

505(b)(2) of the CAA authorizes any 

person to petition the EPA 

Administrator within 60 days after the 

expiration of this review period to 

object to a state operating permit if EPA 

has not done so. Petitions must be based 

only on objections to the permit that 

were raised with reasonable specificity 

during the public comment period 

provided by the state, unless the 

petitioner demonstrates that it was 

impracticable to raise these issues 

during the comment period or that the 

grounds for the objection or other issue 

arose after the comment period. 

On April 19, 2004, EPA received a 

petition from PEER on behalf of Bill 

MacClarence requesting that EPA object 

to the issuance of Revision 1 to the GC1 

permit on the grounds that: (1) Revision 

1 to the GC1 Permit violates Title V of 

the CAA because it does not explain the 

departure from ADEC’s March 7, 2003 

draft permit and because the provisions 

of Prevention of Significant 

Deterioration, National Emission 

Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants, 

and New Source Performance Standards 

are all based on the aggregated impact 

of air emissions and this permit did not 

aggregate all facilities within the 

Prudhoe Bay Unit (PBU); (2) the 

pollution consequences of this violation 

are significant becasue elevated levels of 

nitrogen oxide on the North Slope of 

Alaska present a serious health problem 

for workers and native communities in 

the region and have been created by not 

aggregating facilities within the PBU; 

and (3) ADEC and EPA failed to exercise 

proper regulatory oversight in this 

matter by issuing the final permit with 

no public notice or discussion. The 

order explains the reasons behind EPA’s 

decision to deny PEER’s petition for 

objection on all grounds. 

Dated: May 1, 2007.

Regional Administrator, Region 10.
