Abstract: Owners and operators of affected facilities are required to comply with reporting and record keeping requirements for the general provisions of 40 CFR part 63, subpart A, as well as the applicable standards at 40 CFR part 63, subpart LLL. This includes submitting initial notification reports, performance tests and periodic reports and results, and maintaining 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. These reports are used by EPA to determine compliance with the standards.

Form Numbers: None. Respondents/affected entities: Portland cement plants.

Respondent’s obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 63, subpart LLL).

Estimated number of respondents: 87 (total).

Frequency of response: Initially and semiannually.

Total estimated burden: 59,600 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).

Total estimated cost: $25,800,000 (per year), which includes $19,800,000 in annualized capital/startup and/or operation & maintenance costs.

Changes in the Estimates: There is an overall decrease in burden as currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved Burdens. This decrease is not due to any program changes. The change in the burden and cost estimates occurred because the standard has been in effect for more than three years and the requirements are different during initial compliance (new facilities) as compared to on-going compliance (existing facilities). The previous ICR reflected those burdens and costs associated with the initial activities for subject facilities. This includes purchasing monitoring equipment, conducting performance tests and establishing recordkeeping systems.This ICR, by in large, reflects the ongoing burden and costs for existing facilities. Activities for existing source include continuously monitoring of pollutants and the submission of semiannual reports. In addition, we have updated the number of respondents from 100 to 87 using the most recent data available. The overall result is a decrease in the number of responses, labor hours, and costs (including capital and O&M cost).

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 FFFF. Owners or operators ofthe affected facilities must submit a onetime-only report of any physical or operational changes, initial 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 are also required semiannually.

Form Numbers: None. Respondents/affected entities: Miscellaneous organic chemical manufacturing facilities.

Respondent’s obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 63, subpart FFFF).

Estimated number of respondents: 269 (total).

Frequency of response: Initially and semiannually.

Total estimated burden: 436,000 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).

Total estimated cost: $49,700,000 (per year), includes $5,750,000 annualized capital or operation & maintenance

costs.

Changes in the Estimates: There is an increase in burden in this ICR from the most recently approved ICR. This is due


### 15105 Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 54 / Monday, March 21, 2016 / Notices

to an increase in the estimated number of respondents subject to the rule. Based on the Agency’s projected industry growth rate, we assume the number of sources will continue to grow at a rate of two new sources per year. This results in an increase in the respondent labor hours, number of responses, and total O&M costs.

**SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION :**  I. What information is EPA particularly interested in?

Pursuant to PRA section 3506(c)(2)(A) (44 U.S.C. 3506(c)(2)(A)), EPA specifically solicits comments and information to enable it to:

1. 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.

2. Evaluate the accuracy of the Agency’s estimates of the burden of the proposed collection of information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions used.

3. Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to be collected.

4. 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. In particular, EPA is requesting comments from very small businesses (those that employ less than 25) on examples of specific additional efforts that EPA could make to reduce the paperwork burden for very small businesses affected by this collection.
II. What information collection activity or ICR does this action apply to?

Title: Pesticide Environmental Stewardship Program Annual Measures Reporting.

ICR number: EPA ICR No. 2415.03. OMB control number: OMB Control No. 2070–0188.

ICR status: This ICR is currently scheduled to expire on November 30, 2016. 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 in title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), after appearing in the Federal Register when approved, are listed in 40 CFR part 9, are displayed either by publication in the Federal Register or by other appropriate means, such as on the related collection instrument or form, if applicable. The display of OMB control numbers for certain EPA regulations is consolidated in 40 CFR part 9.

Abstract: This ICR enables EPA to run the Pesticide Environmental Stewardship Program (PESP). PESP is an EPA voluntary program implemented by the Office of Pesticide Programs (OPP). Its goal is to promote environmental stewardship to protect human health and the environmental. PESP encourages the use of integrated pest management (IPM) strategies to reduce pests and pesticide risks through partnerships with entities among the pesticide user community. IPM is an approach that involves making the best choices from among a series of pest management practices. It allows for economical pest management, and does so with the least possible hazard to people, property, and the environment. PESP uses the information collected to establish partner membership, develop stewardship strategies, measure progress towards stewardship goals, and award incentives.

While most PESP members are entities that are pesticide end-users, several others are organizations which focus on training, educating, or influencing pesticide users. To become a PESP member, a pesticide user entity or an organization submits an application and a five-year strategy. The strategy outlines how environmental and human health risk reduction goals will be achieved through the implementation of IPM, or through educating others on IPM. In addition, members submit annual progress reports that enable EPA and PESP members to track progress being made in adopting IPM activities and reductions in risks to human health and the environmental. Entities in the PESP program benefit through technical assistance, and through incentives for achievements.

Burden statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 114 hours per respondent. Burden is defined in 5 CFR 1320.3(b).

The ICR, which is available in the docket along with other related materials, provides a detailed
