the comments of the AAMA and AIAM.

At the meeting AIAM represented both

organizations.

The majority of comments fell into

one of two categories. The first category

of comments related to requirements

that were the result of other regulations

as opposed to requirements specific to

the Subpart MM New Source

Performance Standard (NSPS). For

example, completing an application for

Title V is not covered by this ICR

because it is not required by Subpart

MM. This ICR pertains only to Subpart

MM and not other regulations that apply

to the auto manufacturing industry.

The second category of comments

related to activities undertaken by the

industry but not required by the

regulation. Comments regarding

performance audits, and conducting

surveys and studies are examples of

activities potentially performed by the

industry but they are not required by

Subpart MM and therefore not

accounted for in the ICR.

As a result of the comments regarding

the labor costs, EPA recalculated the

tables using the updated labor rates

provided by Department of Commerce,

Bureau of Labor Statistics January 1996

Employment and Earnings Table.

Burden Statement: The annual public

reporting and recordkeeping burden for

this collection of information is

estimated to average 14.1 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; 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: 45.

Estimated Number of Respondents:

45.

Frequency of Response: 4.

Estimated Number of Responses: 180.

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:

2,540.3 hours.

Agency Information Collection

Activities Under OMB Review;

Standards of Performance for Flexible

Vinyl and Urethane Coating and

Printing

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

the Information Collection Request (ICR)

for New Source Performance Standards

for Flexible Vinyl and Urethane Coating

and Printing described below has been

forwarded to the Office of Management

and Budget (OMB) for review and

approval. The ICR describes the nature

of the information collection and its

expected burden and cost; where

appropriate, it includes the actual data

collection instrument.

DATES: Comments must be submitted on

or before March 24, 1997.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION OR A COPY

CALL: Sandy Farmer at EPA, (202) 260–

2740, and refer to EPA ICR No. 1175.05.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Title: NSPS for Flexible Vinyl and

Urethane Coating and Printing (OMB

Control No. 2060–0073 expiration date

4/30/97; EPA ICR No.1175.05). This is a

request for extension of a currently

approved collection.

Abstract: The EPA is charged under

Section 111 of the Clean Air Act, as

amended, to establish standards of

performance for new stationary sources

that reflect:

* * * application of the best

technological system of continuous

emissions reduction which (taking into

consideration the cost * * * and

energy requirements) the Administrator

determines has been adequately

demonstrated [Section 111(a)(1)].

In addition, Section 114(a) requires

that any owner or operator subject to

any Subpart to establish and maintain

records, make reports, install, use and

maintain monitoring equipment or

methods as required, and provide other

information as EPA may deem

necessary.

In the Administrator’s judgment, VOC

emissions from flexible vinyl and

urethane coating and printing industry

cause or contribute to air pollution that

may reasonably be anticipated to

endanger public health or welfare.

Therefore, the New Source Performance

Standards (NSPS) were promulgated for

this source category. The NSPS for the

Flexible Vinyl and Urethane Coating

and Printing Industry were proposed on

January 18, 1983, and promulgated on

June 29, 1984. These standards apply to

each rotogravure printing line used to

print or coat flexible vinyl or urethane

products, and for which construction,

modification or reconstruction

commenced after the date of proposal.

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are

the pollutants regulated under this

Subpart. The standards restrict the use

of inks to those with a weighted average

VOC content of less than 1.0 kilogram

VOC per kilogram of ink solids, unless

the source can otherwise reduce

emissions to the atmosphere by 85

percent.

The information requested as part of

this rule include one-time-only

notifications; records about the initial

performance test, changes in the

operation of the facility, and

exceedences of parameters; and

semiannual reports of those

exceedances.

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 check if the

pollution control devices are properly

installed and operated and the standard

is being met. Performance test reports

are needed as these are the Agency’s

record of a source’s initial capability to

comply with the emission standard, and

note the operating conditions

(temperature of exhaust gases, VOC

concentrations, and temperature across

the catalytic bed) under which

compliance was achieved. The

semiannual reports are used for problem

identification, as a check on source

operation and maintenance, and for

compliance determinations.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Electronic Availability: Electronic

copies of this document and the Fact

Sheet are available from the EPA home

page at the Environmental Sub-Set entry

for this document under ‘‘Regulations’’

(http://www.epa.gov/fedrgstr/).

EPA issued a notice, published in the

Federal Register of October 9, 1996 (61

FR 52944; FRL–5397–1), which

announced that Stine Microbial

Products, 2225 Laredo Trail, Adel, IA

50003, had submitted an application to

register the product Blue Circle Liquid

Biological Fungicide (File Symbol

63950–A), containing the active

ingredient Burkholderia cepacia type

Wisconsin isolate J82 at 0.6 percent, an

active ingredient not included in any

previously registered product. The

active ingredient concentration was

subsequently corrected from 0.6 to 2

percent.

The application was approved on

December 24, 1996, as Blue Circle

Liquid Biological Fungicide (EPA

Registration Number 63950–6), for

application to food and nonfood plant

and seedling roots.

The Agency has considered all

required data on risks associated with

the proposed use of Burkholderia

cepacia type Wisconsin isolate J82, and

information on social, economic, and

environmental benefits to be derived

from use. Specifically, the Agency has

considered the nature of the chemical

and its pattern of use, application

methods and rates, and level and extent

of potential exposure. Based on these

reviews, the Agency was able to make

basic health and safety determinations

which show that use of Burkholderia

cepacia type Wisconsin isolate J82

when used in accordance with

widespread and commonly recognized

practice, will not generally cause

unreasonable adverse effects to the

environment.
