of information are mandatory if EPA

determines that the products

specifications require its listing under

subpart J (40 CFR 300.5a Definitions).

However, manufacturers volunteer to

have their product analyzed. The

authority to review and use a product is

40 CFR 300.910. Confidentiality of data,

ingredients, and other proprietary

information for the products is

maintained by EPA. Manufacturers may

use any certified lab in the U.S. to test

their products effectiveness and

toxicity. The cost of such test range from

$1,000 to $5,000 per test. The process to

have a product listed takes at least 30

days, but no longer than 60 days,

depending on the accuracy and

completeness of the product

information package provided to EPA by

the manufacturer. Due to the technical

and graphical data required to be listed,

electronic submissions are not accepted.

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 EPA would like to solicit

comments to:

(i) 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;

(ii) Evaluate the accuracy of the

agency’s estimate of the burden of the

proposed collection of information,

including the validity of the

methodology and assumptions used;

(iii) Enhance the quality, utility, and

clarity of the information to be

collected; and

(iv) 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.

Burden Statement: Estimated

projected cost and hour burden for

listing a product are between 14 and 40

hours at a cost ranging from under

$4,000 to $10,000 depending on the

what the lab charges the manufacture to

test the product. EPA estimates that an

average of 14 product applications are

submitted each year at a cost of $83,000

($6,000 average). Additional data

requirements include changes to:

manufacturer’s address, name of

product, distributers, product

specifications, and any other changes to

the product. Changes to the product’s

composition may require further testing

and data submission to EPA. Otherwise

the cost to supply this information to

EPA is a one-time cost. EPA does not

charge any fees to maintain records for

a product nor are there any cost to

update the product’s file other than

those mentioned above. There are no

required capital, start up cost or fees

required by EPA to have a product

listed.

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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Title: NSPS Subpart FFF, New Source

Performance Standards for Flexible

Vinyl and Urethane Coating and

Printing (OMB Control No. 2060–0073 ;

EPA ICR No.1157.06) expiring 06/30/00.

This is a request for extension of a

currently approved collection.

Abstract: The New Source

Performance Standards (NSPS) for

Flexible Vinyl and Urethane Coating

and Printing were promulgated on June

29, 1984 (49 FR 26892).The effective

date was January 18, 1983.

These standards of performance for

this category of new stationary sources

of hazardous air pollutants are required

by Section 111 of the Clean Air Act.

Facilities may meet the standards by

using materials with a low

concentration of Volatile Organic

compounds (VOCs), or by installing

emission control devices. The

information that is required to be

submitted to the Agency or kept at the

facility is needed to insure compliance

with the regulation. These include

initial one time notifications,

performance tests plans and reports and

records of maintenance and shutdown,

startup, and malfunctions. For facilities

that install CMS there are performance

tests, and maintenance reports. Excess

emissions reports are submitted

semiannually. Responses to the

collection of information are mandatory

(NSPS 60 Subpart FFF).

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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Title: NSPS, Lead Acid Battery

Manufacturing Plants, OMB Control No.

2060–0081; EPA ICR No.1072.06,

expiration 6/30/00. This is a request for

extension of a currently approved

collection.

Abstract: NSPS for Lead Acid Battery

Manufacturing Plants were developed to

ensure that air emissions from these

facilities do not cause ambient

concentrations of lead particulate matter

to exceed levels that may reasonably be

anticipated to endanger public health

and the environment. Owners or

operators of lead acid battery

manufacturing plants subject to NSPS

must notify EPA of construction,

reconstruction, modification,

anticipated and actual startup dates, and

results of performance tests. These

facilities must also maintain records of

performance test results, startups,

shutdowns, and malfunctions. In order

to ensure compliance with the

standards, adequate recordkeeping and

reporting is necessary. This information

enables the Agency to: (1) Identify the

sources subject to the standard; (2)

ensure initial compliance with emission

limits; and (3) verify continuous

compliance with the standard.

Reporting and recordkeeping

requirements on the part of the

respondent are mandatory under section

114 of the Clean Air Act as amended

and 40 CFR part 60. All reports are sent

to the delegated State or Local authority.

In the event that there is no such

delegated authority, the reports are sent

directly to the EPA Regional Office. All

information submitted to the Agency for

which a claim of confidentiality is made

will be safeguarded according to the

Agency policies.

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

October 29,1999 (64 FR 58398); no

comments were received.

Burden Statement: The annual public

reporting and recordkeeping burden for

this collection of information is

estimated to average 1.5 hours per

response. 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.
