AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: In compliance with the

Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C.

3501 et seq.), this notice announces that

EPA is planning to submit the following

proposed Information Collection

Request (ICR) to the Office of

Management and Budget (OMB):

Reporting and Recordkeeping

Requirements Under the

Perfluorocompound (PFC) Emission

Reduction Partnership for the

Semiconductor Industry EPA ICR No.

1823.01. Before submitting the ICR to

OMB for review and approval, EPA is

soliciting comments on specific aspects

of the proposed information collection

as described below.

DATES: Comments must be submitted on

or before November 3, 1997.

ADDRESSES: U.S. Environmental

Protection Agency Atmospheric

Pollution Prevention Division, 401 M

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Affected entities: Entities potentially

affected by this action are those which

manufacture semiconductor devices.

Title: Reporting and Recordkeeping

Requirements Under the PFC Emission

Reduction Partnership for the

Semiconductor Industry EPA ICR No.

1823.01.

Abstract: In April 1993, President

Clinton issued the Climate Change

Action Plan, which establishes the

nation’s commitment to returning U.S.

greenhouse gas emissions to their 1990

levels by the year 2000. EPA’s PFC

Emission Reduction Partnership for the

Semiconductor Industry is an important

voluntary program contributing to the

overall reduction in greenhouse gas

emissions. The PFC Emission Reduction

Partnership for the Semiconductor

Industry, along with ENERGY STAR

Buildings, Green Lights, ENERGY STAR

Computers, and other EPA Programs is

a voluntary program aimed at

preventing pollution rather than

controlling it after its creation. These

programs focus on reducing greenhouse

gas emissions.

EPA has developed this ICR to obtain

authorization to collect information

from Companies participating in the

PFC Emission Reduction Partnership.

By participating in the program, a

Company agrees to endeavor to reduce

PFC emissions. In the Partnership, a

company will prepare an annual report

to be submitted to a designated law firm

that provides an overall estimate of PFC

emissions, and a normalized PFC

emission rate for it’s U.S. facilities.

Information on Company-specific PFC

emissions is aggregated into an

industry-wide annual report, and used

in combination with information on

Companies’ normalized rates of PFC

emissions (submitted on a blind basis)

to evaluate the overall PFC emission

reductions achieved by the program.

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 are listed

in 40 CFR part 9 and 48 CFR Chapter

15.

The EPA would like to solicit

comments to:

(i) Evaluate whether the proposed

collection of information is necessary

for the proper performance of the

functions of the agency, including

whether the information will have

practical utility;

(ii) Evaluate the accuracy of the

agency’s estimate of the burden of the

proposed collection of information,

including the validity of the

methodology and assumptions used;

(iii) Enhance the quality, utility, and

clarity of the information to be

collected; and

(iv) Minimize the burden of the

collection of information on those who

are to respond, including through the

use of appropriate automated electronic,

mechanical, or other technological

collection techniques or other forms of

information technology, e.g., permitting

electronic submission of responses.

Burden Statement: The projected hour

burden for this collection of information

is as follows:

Average Annual Reporting Burden

Hours=8,206.

Average burden hours/response=328.

Frequency of response=1/year.

Estimated number of respondents=25.

Cost burden to respondents:

Estimated Total Annualized Cost

Burden=$455,879.

Total capital and start-up

costs=$1,500.

Estimated Total Operation and

Maintenance Cost=$225.

Purchase of Services Cost=$1,160.

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; 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.
