Any comments related to this ICR 

should be submitted to EPA within 60 

days of this notice. EPA’s policy is that 

public comments, whether submitted 

electronically or in paper, will be made 

available for public viewing in 

EDOCKET as EPA receives them and 

without change, unless the comment 

contains copyrighted material, CBI, or 

other information whose public 

disclosure is restricted by statute. When 

EPA identifies a comment containing 

copyrighted material, EPA will provide 

a reference to that material in the 

version of the comment that is placed in 

EDOCKET. The entire printed comment, 

including the copyrighted material, will 

be available in the public docket. 

Although identified as an item in the 

official docket, information claimed as 

CBI, or whose disclosure is otherwise 

restricted by statute, is not included in 

the official public docket, and will not 

be available for public viewing in 

EDOCKET. For further information 

about the electronic docket, see EPA’s 

Federal Register notice describing the 

electronic docket at 67 FR 38102 (May 

31, 2002), or go to http://www.epa.gov./

Affected Entities: Entities potentially 

affected by this action are those engaged 

in primary aluminum production. 

Title: Reporting Requirements under 

the Voluntary Aluminum Industrial 

Partnership (VAIP). 

Abstract: EPA’s Voluntary Aluminum 

Industrial Partnership (VAIP) was 

initiated in 1995 and is an important 

voluntary program contributing to the 

overall reduction in emissions of 

greenhouse gases. This program focuses 

on reducing direct greenhouse gas 

emissions including perfluocorcarbon 

(PFC) and carbon dioxide (CO2) 

emissions from the production of 

primary aluminum. Seven of the eight 

U.S. producers of primary aluminum 

participate in this program. PFCs are 

very potent greenhouse gases with 

global warning potentials several 

thousand times that of carbon dioxide 

and they persist in the atmosphere for 

thousands of years. CO2 is emitted from 

consumption of the carbon anode. EPA 

has developed this ICR to renew 

authorization to collect information 

from companies in the VAIP. 

Participants voluntarily agree to the 

following: designating a VAIP liaison; 

undertaking technically feasible and 

cost-effective actions to reduce PFC and 

direct CO2 emissions; and reporting to 

EPA, on an annual basis, the PFC and 

CO2 emissions or production parameters 

used to estimate emissions. The 

information contained in the annual 

reports of VAIP members is used by 

EPA to assess the success of the program 

in achieving its goals. The information 

contained in the annual reports may be 

considered confidential business 

information and is maintained as such. 

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 in 40 CFR are listed 

in 40 CFR part 9.

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: The VAIP is a 

continuing program and, as such, the 

burden for collecting relevant 

information has not changed 

significantly overtime as data collection 

processes have remained the same and 

no new one-time cost activities are 

expected that would impact all 

respondents. VAIP participants sign a 

voluntary Memorandum of 

Understanding (MOU) which assigns 

responsibilities to EPA and participating 

companies. The MOU has been signed 

each of the seven participating 

Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 164 / Thursday, August 25, 2005 / Notices 49921

companies and not expected to be 

revised or renewed. The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average 98.5 hours per 

response. The projected hour burden for 

this collection of information is as 

follows: 

Average Annual Reporting Burden: 82 

hours. 

Average Annual RecordKeeping 

Burden: 0 hours. 

Average Burden Hours/Response: 82 

hours for the annual tracking report; and 

16.5 hours associated with additional 

activities such as partnership meetings. 

Frequency of response=one per 

respondent per year. Estimated number 

of respondents per year=7. Cost burden 

to respondents ($7,354 per respondent). 

Estimated Total Annualized Cost 

Burden: $51,478. 

Total Labor Costs: $51,478. 

Total Capital and Start-up Costs: $0. 

Estimated Total Operation and 

Maintenance Costs: $0. 

Purchase of Services Costs: $0.

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 and collection of 

information; and transmit or otherwise 

disclose the information.
