52096 Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 169 / Thursday, September 1, 2005 / Notices 

All existing sources must be in 

compliance with the requirements of the 

CAR and/or its referencing subparts 

within three years of the effective date 

(i.e., promulgation date) of the 

appropriate standard for the affected 

source. All new sources must be in 

compliance with the requirements of the 

CAR and/or its referencing subparts 

upon startup or the promulgation date 

of standards for an affected source, 

whichever is later. Compliance is 

assumed through initial performance 

testing or design analysis, as 

appropriate, and ongoing compliance is 

demonstrated through parametric 

monitoring. Types of parameters 

monitored are incinerator temperature, 

scrubber flow rate, carbon adsorber 

regeneration frequency as well as others. 

The appropriate parameter to monitor 

depends on the type of control device 

with which the owner or operator 

chooses to comply. 

The recordkeeping and reporting 

requirements in the standards ensure 

compliance with the applicable 

regulations which were promulgated in 

accordance with the Clean Air Act 

(CAA). The collected information is also 

used for targeting inspections and as 

evidence in legal proceedings. 

Performance tests are required in 

order to determine an affected facility’s 

initial capability to comply with the 

emission standards. In addition, 

continuous emission monitors are used 

to ensure that the respondent complies 

with the standards at all times. During 

the performance test, a record of the 

operating parameters under which 

compliance was achieved may be 

recorded and used to determine 

compliance in place of a continuous 

emission monitor. 

The notifications required in the 

standards are used to inform the Agency 

or delegated authority when a source 

becomes subject to the requirements of 

the regulations. The reviewing authority 

may then inspect the source to ensure 

that the pollution control devices are 

properly installed and operated, that 

leaks are detected and repaired, and that 

the standards are met. The performance 

test may also be observed. 

The required reports are used to 

determine periods of excess emissions, 

identify problems at the facility, verify 

operation/maintenance procedures, and 

for compliance determinations. 

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, 

and are identified on the form and/or 

instrument, if applicable. 

Burden Statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average 180 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: 

Facilities in the Synthetic Organic 

Chemical Manufacturing Industry. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

3,913. 

Frequency of Response: Initially, 

annually, semiannually and on 

occasion. 

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 

2,057,270. 

Estimated Total Annual Costs: 

$226,718,704, which includes 

$3,404,000 in annualized Capital/ 

startup costs, $91,956,000 annual O&M 

costs, and $131,358,704 in Respondent 

Labor Costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is a 

decrease in burden of 108,330 hours 

from the most recently approved ICR. 

Some 35,758 hours of the changes are a 

program change for NSPS subparts Kb, 

VV, DDD, III, NNN and RRR, which no 

longer require Notifications of 

Anticipated Startup. The balance of the 

changes (72,572 hours) are adjustments 

due primarily to correction of errors and 

the addition of clerical and managerial 

hours to the burden calculation. There 

is a corresponding decrease in the 

average hours per response of 29 hours; 

from 209 hours per response to 180 

hours per response. There was a 

decrease of $4,561,000 in the Total 

Capital/Startup and Operation and 

Maintenance Costs due to an error in the 

previous ICR regarding the costs for 

monitoring equipment when 

determining Total Capital/Startup and 

Operation and Maintenance Costs for 

subpart Kb and subpart G of the 

Hazardous Organic National Emission 

Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants 

(HON). The cost for certain control 

devices was inadvertently included in 

the previous ICR.

[FRL–7964–4] 

Notice of Final Decision To Grant 

Vickery Environmental, Incorporated a 

Modification of an Exemption From the 

Land Disposal Restrictions of the 

Hazardous and Solid Waste 

Amendments of 1984 Regarding 

Injection of Hazardous Wastes 

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 a 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 RCRA-regulated 

hazardous wastes designated as K181 

wastes which will be banned from land 

disposal on August 23, 2005, as a result 

of regulations promulgated in the 

Federal Register (FR) on February 24, 

2005 (70 FR 9138 et seq.) into four Class 

I injection wells at the Vickery, Ohio, 

facility. As required by 40 CFR part 148, 

VEI has demonstrated, to a reasonable 

degree of certainty, that there will be no 

migration of hazardous constituents 

from the injection zone utilized by VEI’s 

waste disposal facility located near 

Vickery, Ohio, for as long as the newlyexempted waste remains hazardous. 

This decision constitutes a final Agency 

action for which there is no 

administrative appeal. 

DATES: This action is effective as of 

August 23, 2005. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Harlan Gerrish, Lead Petition Reviewer, 

USEPA, Region 5, telephone (312) 886–

2939. Copies of the petition and all 

related pertinent information are on file 

and are part of the Administrative 

Record. It is recommended that you 

contact the lead reviewer prior to 

reviewing the Administrative record. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

Chemical Waste Management (CWM), 

the predecessor of VEI, submitted a 

petition for an exemption from the 

restrictions on land disposal of 

hazardous wastes on January 19, 1988. 

Revised documents were received on 

December 4, 1989, and several 

supplemental submittals were 

subsequently made. The exemption was 

granted on August 7, 1990. On 

September 12, 1994, CWM submitted a 

petition to modify the exemption to 

include wastes bearing 23 additional 

RCRA wastes codes. Region 5 reviewed 

documents supporting the request and 

granted the modification of the 

exemption on May 16, 1995. A notice of 

the modification appeared on June 5, 

1995, at 60 FR 29592 et seq. On April 

9, 1996, CWM submitted a petition to 

again modify the exemption to allow 91 

additional RCRA waste codes. Region 5 

reviewed documents supporting the 

request and granted the modification on 

the exemption on June 24, 1996. A 

notice of the modification appeared on 

July 15, 1996, at 61 FR 36880 et seq. 

Again on May 13, 1997, CWM submitted 

a request to add 11 waste codes to the 

list. Region 5 reviewed the evidence 

submitted by CWM and granted the 

request. Notice of the approval appeared 

on August 12, 1997 (63 FR 43109). On 

October 13, 1997, CWM notified the 

EPA that the name of the operator of the 

Vickery facility would become Waste 

Management of Ohio (WMO). This 

change was acknowledged by EPA 

through a letter added to the 

Administrative Record on November 10, 

1997. On August 28, 1998, WMO 

requested that two additional wastes 

codes be approved for injection. Notice 

of the approval appeared on December 

10, 1998 (63 FR 68284). In the same 

year, on November 5, 1998, WMO 

submitted a petition to exempt four 

additional waste codes. Approval of this 

petition appeared on February 10, 1999 

(64 FR 6650). On January 24, 2000, 

Waste Management of Ohio informed 

EPA of a corporate reorganization and 

subsequent name change from Waste 

Management of Ohio to Vickery 

Environmental, Inc. This change was 

acknowledged by EPA through a letter 

added to the Administrative Record on 

March 9, 2000. On March 20, 2001, VEI 

requested that two wastes, designated as 

K174 and K175, be added to the list of 

wastes exempted for injection at VEI. 

This request was approved on May 23, 

2001, and notice of the request appeared 

in the Federal Register on April 25, 

2001 (66 FR 28464–28466). On January 

31, 2002, WMO requested that four 

additional wastes codes be approved for 

injection. Notice of the approval 

appeared on April 29, 2004 (67 FR 

20971). 

The rule promulgated on February 24, 

2005, bans K181 from injection after 

August 23, 2005, unless VEI’s 

exemption is modified to allow 

injection of this waste. As a K-coded 

waste, the code represents a number of 

chemicals. Some of these have already 

been approved for injection at Vickery 

under other waste codes. VEI estimated 

diffusion rates for constituents not 

previously approved for injection using 

a method which Region 5 has 

previously accepted. The diffusion rates 

are lower than that of the chloride ion, 

the diffusion rate of which was used to 

define the edge of the waste plume at 

VEI. After review of the material 

submitted and verification of the 

calculations of diffusion rate, the EPA 

has determined, as required by 40 CFR 

148.20(f), that there is a reasonable 

degree of certainty that the hazardous 

constituents contained in the waste 

bearing the code to be banned will 

behave hydraulically and chemically 

like wastes for which VEI was granted 

its original exemption and will not 

migrate from the injection zone in 

hazardous concentrations within 10,000 

years. The injection zone is the Mt. 

Simon Sandstone and the Rome, 

Conasauga, Kerbel, and Knox 

Formations. The confining zone is 

comprised of the Wells Creek and Black 

River Formations.
