Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 177 / Wednesday, September 12, 2012 / Notices 56201 

Abstract: The affected entities are 

subject to the General Provisions of the 

NESHAP at 40 CFR part 63, subpart A, 

and any changes, or additions to the 

Provisions specified at 40 CFR part 63, 

subpart NNNNN. 

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 565 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 hydrochloric 

acid production facilities. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

81. 

Frequency of Response: Initially, 

occasionally, and semiannually. 

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 

105,033. 

Estimated Total Annual Cost: 

$10,789,637, which includes 

$10,086,076 in labor costs, $1,424 in 

capital/startup costs, and $702,137 in 

operation and maintenance (O&M) 

costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is an 

increase in burden hours to the 

respondent as compared to the most 

recently approved ICR. The increase is 

due to industry growth in the past three 

years, resulting in additional number of 

respondents that are subject to this 

standard, and corrections to 

mathematical errors found in the 

previous ICR. The growth in respondent 

universe also results in an increase in 

the total O&M costs. 

In addition, there is an increase in 

burden costs to both the respondent and 

the Agency due to an adjustment in 

labor rates. This ICR uses the most 

recent labor rates from the Bureau of 

Labor Statistics in calculating the labor 

costs. 

There is a decrease in capital/startup 

costs in this ICR as compared to the 

most recently approved ICR. The 

previous ICR includes startup costs for 

all existing and new respondents. This 

ICR was updated to correctly reflect 

capital/startup costs associated with 

new sources only.

Abstract: This ICR is for activities 

related to the implementation of the 

EPA’s 1999 regional haze rule, for the 

time period between October 31, 2012 

and October 30, 2015, and renews the 

previous ICR. The regional haze rule, as 

authorized by sections 169A and 169B 

of the Clean Air Act (CAA), requires 

states to develop implementation plans 

to protect visibility in 156 federallyprotected Class I areas. Tribes may 

choose to develop implementation 

plans. For this time period, states will 

be completing their implementation 

plans to comply with the rule. Before 

any agency, department, or 

instrumentality of the federal 

government engages in, supports in any 

way, provides financial assistance for, 

licenses, permits, or approves any 

activity, that agency has the affirmative 

responsibility to ensure that such action 

conforms to the State Implementation 

Plan (SIP) required under the regional 

haze rule. Section 176(c) of the CAA 

requires that all Federal actions conform 

with the SIP requirements. Depending 

on the type of action, the federal entities 

must collect information themselves, 

hire consultants to collect the
