this notice announces that EPA is

planning to submit the continuing

Information Collection Request (ICR) to

the Office of Management and Budget

(OMB).

Title: National Emission Standards for

Hazardous Air Pollutants for Beryllium

Rocket Motor Firing; 40 CFR part 61,

subpart D; EPA ICR Number 1125.03,

OMB Number 2060–0394, expiring

October 31, 2001.

Affected Entities: These standards

apply to sources that are rocket motor

test sites that use beryllium propellant.

Abstract: The National Emission

Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants

(NESHAP) 40 CFR part 61, subpart D

was promulgated on April 6, 1973, and

amended on November 7, 1985, for this

source category. These standards

establish limits for beryllium. The rule

requires subject test sites to test ambient

air for beryllium during and after firing

a rocket motor. Samples are analyzed

within 30 days and results are reported

to EPA Region by registered letter by the

business day following the

determination and calculation. The rule

also requires continuous stack sampling

of beryllium combustion products

during and after firing a rocket motor,

and analysis and reporting within 30

days. In addition, other reporting

requirements include notification of

anticipated firing date; air quality

emissions and ambient air quality and

emission test reports. Recordkeeping

requirements include air sampling test

results, record of emission test results

and making these records available to

the Agency. Records are kept for a

period of two years for the air sampling

test results.

Burden Statement: In the currently

approved ICR, the total hours were

estimated to be 8.33 and the

recordkeeping and reporting burden was

estimated to be $299 per year. This

estimate was based on one test facility.

There are no capital and start-up cost for

this ICR. There is also no operation and

maintenance cost documented since no

new sources are anticipated to become

subject of these standards. There are no

costs for continuous emission

monitoring for this ICR and no known

information that may impact the burden

in the next ICR.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Title: Investigations into Compliance

of Stationary Sources with the

Accidental Release Prevention Program

28464 Federal Register / Vol. 66, No. 100 / Wednesday, May 23, 2001 / Notices

established in 40 CFR part 68, EPA ICR

Number 1956.01. This is a new

collection.

Abstract: On June 20, 1996, EPA

published risk management regulations

mandated under the accidental release

prevention provisions under the Clean

Air Act Section 112(r)(7), 42 U.S.C.

7412(r)(7). These regulations were

codified in 40 CFR part 68. The intent

of Section 112(r) is to prevent accidental

releases to the air and mitigate the

consequences of such releases by

focusing prevention measures on

chemicals that pose the greatest risk to

the environment. The chemical accident

prevention rule required owners and

operators of stationary sources subject to

the rule to submit a risk management

plan by June 21, 1999 to EPA. The

Office of Chemical Emergency

Preparedness and Prevention (OCEPP),

Superfund Division, Region 5, is

responsible for implementing and

enforcing the Risk Management

Program. In order to fulfill its

responsibilities as the implementing

office, OCEPP will collect information

from major stationary sources of air

emissions to determine whether or not

these sources are in compliance with

the risk management program

regulations.

The information will be requested

through certified mail and pursuant to

Section 114(a) of the Clean Air Act, 42

U.S.C. 7414(a). Therefore, response to

the information collection is mandatory.

The information collected will include

the names of the regulated substances

used, produced, or stored on-site;

amount of the regulated substances;

copies of inventory records; capacity of

the container which stores or handles

the regulated substance; and the number

of employees.

Any information submitted to EPA for

which a claim of confidentiality is made

will be safeguarded according to the

Agency policies set forth in Title 40,

Chapter 1, Part 2, Subpart B—

Confidentiality of Business Information

(see 40 CFR part 2; 41 FR 36902,

September 1, 1976; amended by 43 FR

40000, September 8, 1978; 43 FR 42251,

September 20, 1978; 44 FR 17674,

March 23, 1979).

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 May 9,

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of final decision on a

request to modify an exemption from

the Hazardous and Solid Waste

Amendments of the Resource

Conservation and Recovery Act.

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given by the

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA

or Agency) that modification of an

exemption to the land disposal

restrictions under the 1984 Hazardous

and Solid Waste Amendments to the

Resource Conservation and Recovery

Act (RCRA) has been granted to Vickery

Environmental, Inc. (VEI) of Vickery,

Ohio. This modification allows VEI to

continue to inject two (2) RCRAregulated hazardous wastes which will

be banned from land disposal on May 7,

2001, as a result of regulations

promulgated in the Federal Register

(FR) on November 8, 2000 (65 FR

67132), into four Class I injection wells

at the Vickery, Ohio, facility. As
