especially qualified data, on the

resources at issue; and (3) encourage

statements from experts and the public

on issues that should be analyzed in the

EA.

Although Georgia-Pacific’s intent is to

prepare an EA, there is the possibility

that an Environmental Impact Statement

(EIS) will be required. Nevertheless, this

meeting will satisfy the NEPA scoping

requirements, irrespective of whether an

EA or EIS is to be issued by the

Commission.

All interested individuals,

organizations, and agencies are invited

and encouraged to attend and assist in

identifying and clarifying the scope of

environmental issues that should be

analyzed in the EA.

To help focus the discussions, a

scoping document was sent out on

September 13, 1996, as part of the Initial

Stage Consultation Document (ISCD).

Copies of the Scoping Document and

ISCD will also be available at the

meetings.

A scoping meeting for federal, state

and local resource agencies will be held

on April 16, 1997, at Georgia-Pacific

Corporation, Big Island Mill, Big Island,

Virginia at 2:00 p.m. An evening

scoping meeting will be held on April

16, 1997, at 7:00 p.m. at Big Island

Elementary School, 1114 School Days

Road, off State Route 122, Big Island,

Virginia. The scoping meetings are open

to all interested parties.

Meeting Procedures

The meetings will be conducted

according to the procedures used at

Commission for scoping meetings.

Because this meeting will be at NEPA

scoping meeting, the Commission will

not conduct another NEPA scoping

meeting when the application and EA

are filed with the Commission. Instead,

the Commission staff will attend the

meetings held on April 16, 1997.

The meetings will be recorded and,

thereby, will become a part of the formal

record of the proceedings on the Big

Island and Holcomb Rock Projects.

Individuals presenting statements at the

meetings will be asked to identify

themselves for the record.

Concerned parties are encouraged to

offer verbal guidance during public

meetings. Speaking time allowed for

individuals will be determined before

each meeting, based on the number of

persons wishing to speak and the

approximate amount of time available

for the session, but all speakers will be

provided at least five minutes to present

their views.

Persons choosing not to speak but

wishing to express an opinion, as well

as speakers unable to summarize their

positions within the allotted time, may

submit written statements for inclusion

in the public record. Written scoping

comments may also be mailed to Wayne

M. Dyok, Foster Wheeler Environmental

Corporation, 8100 Professional Place,

Suite 308, Lanham, Maryland 20785.

Agency Information Collection

Activities: Submission for OMB

Review; Comment Request; Hazardous

Air Pollutant Emission Standards for

the Synthetic Organic Chemical

Industry (HON Rule)

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 following Information Collection

Request (ICR) has been forwarded to the

Office of Management and Budget

(OMB) for review and approval:

NESHAP subparts F, G, H, and I, the

Hazardous Organic NESHAP (HON),

OMB Control Number 2060–0282,

expires 05/31/97. The ICR describes the

nature of the information collection and

its expected cost and burden; where

appropriate it includes the actual data

collection instrument.

DATES: Comments must be submitted on

or before April 23, 1997.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION OR A COPY

CALL: Sandy Farmer at EPA, (202) 260–

2740 (phone), and refer to EPA ICR No.

1414.03.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Title: NESHAP subparts F, G, H, and

I, the Hazardous Organic NESHAP

(HON), OMB number 2060–0282,

expires 05/31/97. This is a request for

an extension of a previously approved

collection.

Abstract: This ICR contains

recordkeeping and reporting

requirements that are mandatory for

compliance with 40 CFR 63.100, 63.110,

63.160, and 63.190; 40 CFR Part 63,

subparts F, G, H, and I, respectively,

hazardous air pollutant emissions from

process vents, storage vessels, transfer

racks, wastewater and equipment leaks.

This information is used by the Agency

to identify sources subject to the

standards and to insure that the

maximum achievable control is being

properly applied. Respondents are

owners or operators of processes in

SOCMI industries, styrene-butadiene

rubber production, polybutadiene

production, chloride production,

pesticide production, chlorinated

hydrocarbon use in production of

chemicals, pharmaceutical production,

and miscellaneous butadiene use.

Section 112 of the Clean Air Act, as

amended in 1990, requires that EPA

establish standards to limit emissions of

hazardous air pollutants (HAP’s) from

stationary sources. In the

Administrator’s judgment, hazardous air

pollutant (HAP) emissions in the

synthetic organic chemical industry and

other negotiated industries cause or

contribute to air pollution that may

reasonably be anticipated to endanger

public health or welfare. Therefore,

NESHAPs have been promulgated for

this source category as required under

section 112, Clean Air Act.

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 notice required

under 5 CFR 1320.8(d), soliciting

comments on this ICR was published on

12/02/96 (61 FR 63840); no comments

were received.

Burden Statement: The annual public

reporting and recordkeeping burden for

this collection of information is

estimated to average 4,760 hours per

response for existing sources and 9,296

hours per response for new sources.

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 use 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
Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 56 / Monday, March 24, 1997 / Notices 13883

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. No additional

third party burden is associated with

this ICR.

Respondents/Affected Entities:

Owners and Operators of processes in

SOCMI Industries.

Estimated Number of Respondents:

308.

Frequency of Response: Episodic,

Quarterly and Semi-annually.

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:

1,727,724 hours.

Estimated Total Annualized Cost

Burden: $98,460,900.

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 following addresses.

Please refer to ICR No. 1414.03 and

OMB control number 2060–0282 in any

correspondence.
