SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title:

Maximum Achievable Control

Technology (MACT) Standards for

Primary Aluminum Reduction Plants;

40 CFR part 63, subpart LL; EPA ICR

No. 1767.03; OMB Control No. 2060–

0360; expiration date was May 31, 2000.

This is a reinstatement of a previously

approved Information Collection

Request.

Abstract: The MACT standards for

this source category were proposed on

September 26, 1996 and were

promulgated on October 7, 1997. These

standards apply to the owners or

operators of new or existing potlines,

paste production plants, or anode bake

furnaces associated with primary

aluminum production and located at a

major source, and for each new pitch

storage tank associated with a primary

aluminum reduction plant.

In order to ensure compliance with

the standards, adequate record-keeping

and reporting is necessary. This

information enables the Agency to

identify the sources subject to the

standard; ensure initial compliance with

emission limits; and verify continuous

compliance with the standard.

This rule requires written notification

when: an area source increases its

emissions such that it becomes a major

source; the initial startup is before the

effective date of the standard; the

effective date of a new or reconstructed

source is after the effective date of the

standard, and for which an application

for approval of construction or

reconstruction is not required; there is

an intent to construct a new major

source or reconstruct a major source

after the effective date of the standard,

and for which an application for

approval or construction or

reconstruction is required; an initial

performance test occurs; submitting an

initial compliance status; an affected

source intents to use a hydrogen

fluoride (HF) continuous emission

monitor; and submitting the compliance

approach. In addition, sources are

required to: submit results of

performance tests; provide semiannual

reports unless quarterly reports are

Federal Register / Vol. 66, No. 107 / Monday, June 4, 2001 / Notices 29945

required as a result of excess emissions;

develop a startup, shutdown, and

malfunction plan; and maintain records

for a period of five years following the

date of each occurrence, measurement,

maintenance, corrective action report, or

record.

All reports are sent to the delegated

State or Local Agency. In the event that

there is no such delegated authority, the

reports are sent directly to the EPA

Regional Office.

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

December 31, 2000.

Burden Statement: The annual public

reporting and recordkeeping burden for

this collection of information is

estimated to average 2,416 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.

Respondents/Affected Entities:

Owners or operators of new or existing

primary aluminum reduction facilities.

Estimated Number of Respondents:

23.

Frequency of Response: quarterly or

semiannual.

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:

121,277.

Estimated Total Annualized Capital

and Operating & Maintenance Cost

Burden: $117,000.

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 addresses listed above.

Please refer to EPA ICR No. 1767.03 and

OMB Control No. 2060–0360 in any

correspondence.

Dated: May 23, 2001.

National Drinking Water Advisory

Council Research Working Group

Notice of Public Meeting

AGENCY: U.S. Environmental Protection

Agency.

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: Under Section 10(a)(2) of

Public Law 92–423, ‘‘The Federal

Advisory Committee Act,’’ notice is

hereby given that a meeting of the

Drinking Water Research Working

Group of the National Drinking Water

Advisory Council established under the

Safe Drinking Water Act, as amended

(42 U.S.C. S300F et seq.), will be held

on June 21–22, 2001. On June 21 the

meeting will be held from 1:30–6:00 pm

275, Washington, DC 20037. The

meeting will be open to public to

observe and statements will be taken

from the public as time allows. Seating

is limited.

This is the second meeting of the

Drinking Water Research Working

Group. The Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA) anticipates 2 meetings of

this working group over the course of

the next year. The purpose of this

working group will be to provide advice

to NDWAC as it develops

recommendations for EPA on a

Comprehensive Drinking Water

Research Strategy (as required under the

Safe Drinking Water Act) that will

consider a broad range of research needs

to support the Agency’s drinking water

regulatory activities. The research

strategy will include an assessment of

research needs for microbes and

disinfection by-products (M/DBPs),

arsenic, contaminants on the

Contaminants Candidate List (CCL), and

other critical cross-cutting issues, such

as sensitive subpopulations, distribution

systems, contaminants mixtures, future

scenarios and source water assessment.

This meeting will focus on reviewing

the new outline for the Comprehensive

Drinking Water Research Strategy, and

discussing selected contaminants and

cross-cutting/emerging issues.

For more information, please contact

Maggie Javdan, U.S. EPA (4607), Office
