SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Title: Information Collection Request

for Evaluation of PrintSTEP, EPA ICR

Number 1941.01. This is a new

collection.

Abstract: Information will be

collected for evaluation of the

PrintSTEP pilot program. The

evaluation aims to systematically

identify the impacts the program has

had on three types of stakeholders:

printers, community residents, and the

state government agencies administering

the program.

Specifically, the evaluation will

determine the extent to which the 7

goals of the pilot program are met. The

goals are: enhanced environmental

protection; increased use of pollution

prevention practices; simplified

regulatory process for printers;

improved efficiency of administration

for state governments; enhanced public

involvement; participants’ realize

benefits and are motivated to participate

in PrintSTEP; and, cost effectiveness for

all stakeholders.

This broad set of expected outcomes

will require a range of distinct data

collection and analysis activities. Data

will be gathered from printer’s program

applications, from telephone interviews,

from in-person interviews and possibly

from focus groups. Data will be

collected before implementation, a short

time after program implementation, and

at the end of the pilot. Responses to the

collection of information are voluntary.

Names of persons providing information

will be not recorded. More information

is available in the final draft of the

Evaluation Strategy which can be

accessed at http://www.epa.gov/

ooaujeag/sectors/pdf/pgm_eval.pdf .

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

reporting and recordkeeping burden for

this collection of information is

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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Title: NSPS Subpart K, Storage

Vessels for Petroleum Liquids for Which

Construction, Reconstruction, or

Modification Commenced after June 11,

1973, and Prior to May 19, 1978, OMB

Control No. 2060–0442, EPA ICR No.

1797.02, expiring November 30, 2000.

Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 186 / Monday, September 25, 2000 / Notices 57605

This is a request for extension of a

currently approved collection.

Abstract: The New Source

Performance Standards (NSPS) for

Storage Vessels for Petroleum Liquids,

subpart K was proposed on June 11,

1973 and promulgated on March 8, 1974

(39 FR 9308). These performance

standards apply to storage vessels of

petroleum liquids for which

construction, reconstruction, or

modification commenced after June 11,

1973, and prior to May 19, 1978.

Facilities subject to this subpart are not

exceeding 246,052 liters (65,000

gallons), and commences construction

or modification after March 8, 1974, and

prior to May 19, 1978; and storage

vessel that has a capacity greater than

246,052 liters (65,000 gallons), and

commences construction or

modification after June 11, 1973, and

prior to May 19, 1978. There are

approximately 220 respondents,

reporting on approximately 5,500

petroleum storage vessels that are

subject to this standard.

The Subpart K standards require the

owner/operator to document the

activities of, the storage period, the

maximum true vapor pressure, and the

type of petroleum liquid stored. This

information is recorded only when a

petroleum liquid is changed in the

storage vessel. Under the standard, the

data collected by the affected industry

must be retained at the facility for a

minimum of two years, and made

available to the Administrator either on

request or by inspection.

The information generated by the

recordkeeping and reporting

requirements described above will be

used by the Agency to ensure that

facilities affected by the NSPS continue

to operate in compliance with the NSPS.

Notification of construction,

reconstruction and startup will indicate

to enforcement personnel when a new

affected facility has been constructed

and, therefore, is subject to the current

NSPS subpart Kb standards. The

information collected from the

recordkeeping and reporting

requirements is also used for targeting

inspections, and is of sufficient quality

to be used as evidence in court.

Information is required to be collected

and maintained as follows: records are

required to be retained for 2 years,

section 60.2; owner/operator shall

maintain a record of the petroleum

liquid stored, the period of storage and

the maximum true vapor pressure of

that liquid during the respective storage

period, section 60.113; filing a report for

construction/reconstruction, section

60.7(a)(1) and filing a report on a

physical or operational change, section

60.7(a)(4).

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 Federal Register document

required under 5 CFR 1320.8(d),

soliciting comments on this collection

of information was published on April

18, 2000, ( 65 FR 20813). No comments

were received.

reporting and recordkeeping burden for

this collection of information is

effort, or financial resources expended

by persons to generate, maintain, retain,

for a Federal agency. This includes the

time needed to review instructions;

develop, acquire, install, and utilize

technology and systems for the purposes
