Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 18 / Thursday, January 27, 2022 / Notices 4235 

These two factors have contributed to an 

increase in respondents, labor burden, 

and in the number of responses. 

The growth rate for manufacturers 

entering this industry has slowed since 

the previous ICR, and no new 

respondents are expected during the 

three-year period of this ICR. The 

number of existing testing laboratories 

and third-party certifiers has remained 

constant since the previous ICR. The 

capital/startup costs have decreased 

since the previous ICR, which occurred 

during a period when manufacturers 

were introducing approximately 30 new 

model lines each year to comply with 

Step 2 requirements. In this ICR, we 

expect the introduction of new model 

lines to be 15 per year. This results in 

a decrease in capital/startup costs for 

performance testing and new model 

certification. There is an increase in 

operation and maintenance (O&M) costs 

reflecting the increase in model lines 

that are tested as part of the 

manufacturers Quality Assurance 

Program. Also, in this ICR, we have 

reorganized Table 1, Table 2, and the 

Total Annual Responses tables to 

separate requirements for new model 

lines from existing model lines. This 

ICR also reorganizes the Capital/Startup 

vs. Operation and Maintenance (O&M) 

Costs table to distinguish between 

initial costs for new models and 

operation and maintenance costs for 

existing models. Additionally, this ICR 

adjusts the labor assumptions for the 

‘burden’ associated with manufacturer 

review of QA annual audit reports 

provided by third-party certifiers to 

reflect that audits are anticipated to be 

performed for all of a single 

manufacturer’s model lines in one visit 

and the results of the audits would be 

presented in a single batch or report for 

manufacturer review. Similarly, this ICR 

assumes that third-party certifiers will 

prepare the QA annual audit report on 

a manufacturer, rather than model line, 

basis. Finally, this ICR also adjusts the 

labor assumptions associated with 

recordkeeping requirements for 

manufacturers for test documentation 

and for retention of sealed stoves to 

reflect that the number of model lines 

per manufacturer and the frequency of 

the activity. These adjustments 

minimally reduce burden for these 

activities, however, there remains an 

overall increase in burden.

Abstract: The authority for these 

requirements is sections 311 and 312 of 

the Emergency Planning and 

Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA) 

of 1986 (42 U.S.C. 11011, 11012). 

EPCRA section 311 requires owners and 

operators of facilities subject to the 

Occupational Safety and Health 

Administration (OSHA) Hazard 

Communication Standard (HCS) to 

submit a list of chemicals or Material 

Safety Data Sheets (MSDSs) (for those 

chemicals that exceed thresholds, 

specified in 40 CFR part 370) to the 

State Emergency Response Commission 

(SERC) or Tribal Emergency Response 

Commission (TERC), Local Emergency 

Planning Committee (LEPC) or Tribal 

Emergency Planning Committee (TEPC), 

and the local fire department (LFD) with 

jurisdiction over their facility. This is a 

one-time requirement unless a facility 

becomes subject to the regulations or 

has updated information on the 

hazardous chemicals that were already 

submitted by the facility. EPCRA section 

312 requires owners and operators of 

facilities subject to the OSHA HCS to 

submit an inventory form (for those 

chemicals that exceed the thresholds, 

specified in 40 CFR part 370) to the 


lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with NOTICES1
4236 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 18 / Thursday, January 27, 2022 / Notices 

SERC (or TERC), LEPC (or TEPC), and 

LFD with jurisdiction over their facility. 

This inventory form, the Tier II 

Emergency and Hazardous Chemical 

Inventory Form, is to be submitted on or 

before March 1 of each year and must 

include the inventory of hazardous 

chemicals present at the facility in the 

previous calendar year. Currently, all 

states require facilities to submit the 

Federal Tier II form or the stateequivalent, including electronic 

submission. 

Form Numbers: Tier I Emergency and 

Hazardous Chemical Inventory Form, 

EPA Form No. 8700–29, Tier II 

Emergency and Hazardous Chemical 

Inventory Form, EPA Form No. 8700– 

30. 

Respondents/affected entities: 

Manufacturers and non-manufacturers 

required to have available a MSDS (or 

Safety Data Sheet (SDS)) under the 

OSHA HCS. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Mandatory (sections 311 and 312 of 

EPCRA). 

Estimated number of respondents: 

471,787 facilities (total). This figure 

includes 3,052 LEPCs and SERCs. 

Frequency of response: Annual. 

Total estimated burden: 6,963,271 

hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 

CFR 1320.03(b). 

Total estimated cost: $306,735,727 

(per year), includes $1,715,094 

annualized capital or operation & 

maintenance costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: O&M costs 

were reduced from the previous ICR 

renewal for two reasons. First, mailing 

costs were reduced by two-thirds 

because electronic communications 

have greatly reduced the reliance on the 

use of mail services. In addition, EPA no 

longer assumes that filing cabinets used 

to store paper forms are replaced every 

15 years. Instead, EPA now believes it 

is more reasonable to assume that the 

file cabinets are used indefinitely.

Abstract: The New Source 

Performance Standards (NSPS) for 

Municipal Waste Combustors (40 CFR 

part 60, subparts Ea and Eb) apply to 

existing and new facilities with a 

municipal waste combustor unit 

capacity greater than 225 megagrams per 

day of municipal solid waste. In general, 

all NSPS standards require initial 

notifications, performance tests, and 

periodic reports by the owners/ 

operators of the affected facilities. They 

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. These 

notifications, reports, and records are 

essential in determining compliance 

with 40 CFR part 60, subparts Ea and 

Eb. 

Form Numbers: None. 

Respondents/affected entities: 

Owners and operators of municipal 

waste combustor units. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Mandatory (40 CFR part 60, subpart Ea 

and Eb). 

Estimated number of respondents: 22 

(total). 

Frequency of response: Initially, 

quarterly, semiannually, and annually. 

Total estimated burden: 32,600 hours 

(per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 

1320.3(b). 

Total estimated cost: $3,320,000 (per 

year), which includes $197,000 in 

annualized capital/startup and/or 

operation & maintenance costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is an 

adjustment decrease in the total 

estimated burden as currently identified 

in the OMB Inventory of Approved 

Burdens. This decrease is not due to any 

program changes. The decrease in 

burden from the most-recently approved 

ICR is due to more accurate estimations 

in both the number of new and existing 

sources. The number of new sources is 

revised down from one to zero as there 

is no indication of any new MWC 

facilities being constructed over the next 

three years. The number of existing 

sources subject to 40 CFR part 60, 

subpart Ea has been revised from the 

most-recently approved ICR to reflect
