SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Title: Renewal and Revision of

Information Collection Request for the

Implementation of the Oil Pollution Act

Facility Response Plan Requirements

(40 CFR 112.20) (OMB Control Number

2050–0135; EPA ICR #1630.07). This is

a request for extension and revision of

a currently approved collection.

Abstract: The authority for EPA’s

facility response plan requirements is

derived from section 311 of the Clean

Water Act, as amended by the Oil

Pollution Act of 1990. EPA’s regulation

is codified at 40 CFR 112.20. Facility

response plans enhance EPA’s ability to

protect navigable waters and sensitive

environments from oil discharges, help

ensure that human health and safety are

protected in the vicinity of the facility,

and reduce the cost of spills to the

regulated community and society. EPA

has recently finalized revisions to the

rule to differentiate between animal fats

and vegetable oils and other oils (65 FR

40776–40817, June 30, 2000). ICR

Federal Register / Vol. 65, No. 212 / Wednesday, November 1, 2000 / Notices 65309

number 1630.06 is associated with this

rulemaking.

All facility response plan (FRP)

reporting and recordkeeping activities

are mandatory. Each FRP is submitted to

EPA. The Agency, in turn, reviews and

approves plans from facilities identified

as having the potential to cause

‘‘significant and substantial harm’’ to

the environment for oil discharges.

Other low risk, regulated facilities that

are not required to prepare facility

response plans are required to

document their determination that they

do not meet the ‘‘substantial harm’’

criteria.

None of the information to be

gathered for this collection is believed

to be confidential. 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 May 31, 2000 (65 FR

34690–34698). No comments were

received.

Burden Statement: The annual public

reporting and recordkeeping burden for

this collection of information is

estimated as follows: An average of 0.1

hours of recordkeeping for newly

regulated facilities not required to

prepare FRPs (i.e., facilities that certify

that they do not meet the ‘‘substantial

harm’’ criteria); 8.3 hours for

recordkeeping and 239 hours for

reporting for the newly regulated

facilities required to prepare FRPs (i.e.,

first year costs for plan development);

1.2 hours for recordkeeping and 98

hours for reporting for facilities

maintaining FRPs (i.e., subsequent costs

for annual plan maintenance). 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:

Owners and operators of oil discharges

into waterways.

Estimated Number of Respondents:

10,310.

Frequency of Response: One-time

certification, one time plan

development. Annual plan review and

revision as needed.

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:

583,130 hours.

Estimated Total Annualized Capital,

O&M Cost Burden: $22,000.

Send comments on the Agency’s need

for this information, the accuracy of the

provided burden estimates, and any

suggested methods for minimizing

respondent burden, including through

the use of automated collection

techniques to the addresses listed above.

Please refer to EPA ICR No. 1630.07 and

OMB Control No. 2050–0135 in any

correspondence.

Dated: October 23, 2000.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Review Requested: This is a request to

renew a currently approved information

collection.

Title: Alternate Threshold for Low

Annual Reportable Amounts; Toxic

Chemical Release Reporting.

Abstract: EPCRA section 313 requires

certain facilities manufacturing,

processing, or otherwise using certain

toxic chemicals in excess of specified

threshold quantities to report their

environmental releases of such

chemicals annually. Each such facility

must file a separate report for each such

chemical.

In accordance with the authority in

EPCRA, EPA has established an

alternate threshold for those facilities

with low amounts of a listed toxic

chemical in wastes. A facility that meets

the current reporting thresholds but

estimates that the total amount of the

chemical in total waste does not exceed

500 pounds per year, and that the

chemical was manufactured, processed,

or otherwise used in an amount not

exceeding 1 million pounds during the

reporting year, can take advantage of

reporting under the alternate threshold

option for that chemical for that

reporting year.

Each qualifying facility that chooses

to apply the revised threshold must file

the Form A (EPA Form 9350–2) in lieu

of a complete TRI reporting Form R

(EPA Form 9350–1). In submitting the

Form A, the facility certifies that the

sum of the amount of the EPCRA section

313 chemical in wastes did not exceed

500 pounds for the reporting year, and

that the chemical was manufactured,

processed, or otherwise used in an
