Abstract: Owners and operators of 

affected facilities are required to comply 

with reporting and record keeping 

requirements for the General Provisions 

(40 CFR part 63, subpart A), as well as 

for the applicable specific standards in 

40 CFR part 63, subpart LL. This 

includes submitting initial notifications, 

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 these standards. 

Form Numbers: None. 

Respondents/affected entities: 

Primary aluminum production located 

at a major source. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Mandatory (40 CFR part 63, subpart LL). 

Estimated number of respondents: 8 

(total). 

Frequency of response: Initially, 

annually, and semiannually. 

Total estimated burden: 52,300 hours 

(per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 

1320.3(b). 

Total estimated cost: $6,440,000 (per 

year), which includes $310,000 in 

annualized capital/startup and/or 

operation & maintenance costs. 

Changes in the estimates: There is a 

decrease in burden from the mostrecently approved ICR as currently 

identified in the OMB Inventory of 

Approved Burdens. This increase is not 

due to any program changes. The 

adjustment decrease in burden from the 

most-recently approved ICR is due to a 

decrease in the number of sources. The 

currently approved ICR assumed 11 

respondents. Consultations with the 

Aluminum Association conducted 

during the renewal of this ICR revealed 

that there are only eight primary 

aluminum reduction plants currently 

subject to this subpart. This decrease in 

the number of respondents has resulted 

in a decrease in respondent labor hours. 

This ICR adjusts the capital cost from 

the previously-approved ICR to reflect 

costs from the October 15, 2015 rule, 

which were annualized over a 15 year 

period; the previous ICR assumed that 

all capital costs were completed within 

the first three years of the 2015 final 

rule. This ICR also adjusts the operation 

and maintenance (O&M) costs from the 

previous ICR from 1997 dollars to 2019 

dollars using the CEPCI CE Index, and 

includes O&M costs for annual 

monitoring from the 2015 final rule that 

were inadvertently excluded from the 

previous ICR. Therefore, this ICR 

reflects a modest increase in capital and 

O&M costs from the most-recently 

approved ICR. This ICR also corrects the 

total number of responses to reflect the 

submittal of performance test reports on 

a semiannual basis, which were 

inadvertently excluded from the 

previous ICR. This ICR, by in large, 

reflects the on-going burden and costs 

for existing facilities. Activities for 

existing sources include annual and 

semiannual performance tests, 

continuous monitoring of pollutants, 

and the submission of semiannual 

reports.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

notice is being provided pursuant to 40 

CFR 2.209(d) to inform affected 

businesses that EPA, via DOJ, will 

provide certain information to the 

parties and the Court in the matter of In 

Re: Aqueous Film-Forming Foams 

Products Liability Litigating (MDL No. 

2:18–mn–2873–RMG) (D.S.C.) (‘‘AFFF 

litigation’’). The information is 

contained in documents that have been 

submitted to EPA pursuant to FIFRA, 

the FFDCA, and/or TSCA by pesticide 

registrants or other data-submitters, 

including information that has been 

claimed to be, or determined to 

potentially contain, CBI. 

The AFFF Litigation is Multidistrict 

Litigation established in December 2018 

involving over 1,000 consolidated Perand polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) 

cases in the U.S. District Court for the 

District of South Carolina, primarily 

alleging tort claims against private 

parties, including manufacturers, for 

products liability, public nuisance, and 

negligence concerning the manufacture 

and use of Aqueous Film-Forming 

Foams (AFFF). 

Although the primary focus of the 

litigation is on the manufacturers of 

AFFF, the United States is a party to 24 

lawsuits relating to discharges of AFFF 

that allegedly contaminated drinking 

water at various federal sites, such as 

Air Force bases. The primary federal 

agencies named as defendants are the 

Air Force, the National Guard Bureau, 

and the Department of Defense, but EPA 

is a named defendant in one pro se case. 

EPA is under an obligation to respond 

to Requests for Production (RFPs) in In 

Re: Aqueous Film-Forming Foams 

Products Liability Litigating (MDL No. 

2:18–mn–2873–RMG) (D.S.C.). The case 

has entered the discovery phase, and 

although a final Scheduling Order has 

not yet been entered, the Court has 

ordered expedited discovery. The 

documents being produced may include 

‘‘Confidential Business Information’’ 

such as any material or words with 

rights that may be protected under the 

U.S. Copyright Act of 1976, Public Law 

94–553, 90 Stat. 2541, codified, as 

amended, at Title 17 of the U.S. Code; 

trade secrets and/or confidential 

business information protected from 

disclosure by Section 14 of the TSCA, 

15 U.S.C. 2613(a); and/or documents 

submitted with pesticide registration 

applications and may include CBI under 

FIFRA section 10, 7 U.S.C. 136h, 

including scientific studies subject to 

the disclosure restrictions of FIFRA 

section 10(g), 7 U.S.C. 136h(g). 

All documents that may be subject to 

release restrictions under federal law 

will be designated as ‘‘Confidential 

Information,’’ ‘‘Highly Confidential 

Information,’’ and/or ‘‘Export Control 

Information’’ in the Protective Order 

(‘‘Case Management Order 4.A’’) already 

filed and publicly available in the AFFF 

litigation. EPA would only produce 

such documents in accordance with the 

Protective Order, which would require 

that such documents would be filed 

under seal and would not be available 

for public review, unless the 

information contained in the document 

has been determined to not be subject to 

protected status and all CBI has been 

redacted.
