Title: Population-based Pilot Study of 

Children’s Environmental Health in 

Support of The National Children’s 

Study. 

Abstract: The proposed study will be 

conducted by the Epidemiology and 

Biomarkers Branch, Human Studies 

Division, National Health and 

Environmental Effects Research 

Laboratory, Office of Research and 

Development, U.S. EPA. The U.S. EPA 

will conduct this research in 

partnership with the National 

Children’s Study (NCS) Program Office 

at the National Institute of Child Health 

and Human Development (NICHD) as 

well as the other lead agencies of the 

NCS: the Centers for Disease Control 

and Prevention (CDC) and the National 

Institute of Environmental Health 

Sciences (NIEHS). This proposed data 

collection will pilot test logistics, 

protocols and procedures for the NCS, a 

long term study of the influence of 

environmental factors on child health 

and development. The goal is to 

improve the efficiency of the 

implementation of NCS by testing 

procedures for population-based 

sampling and subject recruitment, 

proposed study logistics and estimates 

of subject burden, and evaluating data 

collection strategies including 

interviews and acquisition of biologic 

and environmental samples. Further 

details on the NCS, including the Study 

Plan, can be found at http:// 

www.nationalchildrensstudy.gov. 

Approximately 10,000 households 

will be screened and 2,740 women will 

be enrolled who meet eligibility criteria, 

primarily defined by age and likelihood 

of pregnancy. The schedule of visits 

follows the proposed NCS Study Plan. 

Briefly, women who are planning 

pregnancy will be visited bimonthly, 

women with lower likelihood of 

pregnancy will be visited once; pregnant 

women will have a home visit in the 

first trimester and a clinic visit in the 

second and third trimester. A hospital 

visit at birth is planned as well as home 

visits to follow-up with the mother and 

infant at 1, 6, 12, and 18 months of age. 

Data from interviews as well as biologic 

and environmental samples will address 

the relationship between common 

environmental factors and the physical 

and developmental growth of children. 

Qualitative assessments of the 

participants’ perceptions about the 

study will be gathered at each visit to 

enhance the lessons that can be learned 

to aid the successful implementation of 

the NCS. 

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 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 varies 

depending on the eligibility and 

pregnancy status of women at the time 

of enrollment. Detailed estimates 

regarding the number of potential 

respondents and burden associated with 

each visit are provided in the 

EDOCKET. Approximately 10 minutes 

per household is required to determine 

potentially eligible occupants. 

Potentially eligible women are asked to 

complete a 10-minute screening 

interview. The estimated total burden 

for a fully participating woman ranges 

from 8 hours (for a woman enrolled at 

delivery) to 21 hours (for a ‘‘high 

likelihood’’ woman who receives all 

contacts in the preconception period) 

over a three year period. The burden for 

husbands/partners is somewhat more 

consistent because they only receive one 

visit in each of the preconception, 

pregnancy, and childhood visit periods; 

each visit is approximately 1 hour. The 

burden for children ranges from 10 

minutes at the birth visit to 

approximately 2 hours for full 

participation up to 18 months of age. 

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: 

Women aged 18–40 years, pregnant 

women, their husbands or partners, and 

their children who live in selected areas 

of North Carolina. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

10,000. 

Frequency of Response: On occasion. 

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 

4,585. 

Estimated Total Annual Cost: 

$82,728. There are no annualized 

capital costs or O&M costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: Not 

applicable; this is a new information 

collection. 

Dated: September 6, 2005.

Title: NSPS for Petroleum Refineries 

(Renewal). 

Abstract: This information collection 

request addresses Clean Air Act 

information collection requirements in 

standards published at 40 CFR part 60, 

subpart J, which have mandatory 

recordkeeping and reporting 

requirements. These regulations were 

proposed on June 11, 1973, promulgated 

on March 8, 1974, and they apply to the 

following affected facilities in 

petroleum refineries: Fluid catalytic 

cracking unit catalyst regenerators, fuel 

gas combustion devices, and Claus 

sulfur recovery plants of more than 20 

long tons per day commencing 

construction, modification or 

reconstruction after the date of proposal. 

In general, all NSPS standards require 

initial notifications, performance tests, 

and periodic reports by the owners/ 

operators of the affected facilities. The 

frequency of the excess emissions report 

was changed from quarterly to 

semiannually on February 12, 1999 (64 

FR 7465) They are also required to 

maintain records of the occurrence and 

duration of any startup, shutdown, or 

malfunction in the operation of an 

affected facility, or any period during 

which the monitoring system is 

inoperative. These notifications, reports, 

and records are essential in determining 

compliance, and are required of all 

affected facilities subject to NSPS. 

Any owner/operator subject to the 

provisions of this part shall maintain a 

file of these measurements, and retain 

the file for at least two years following 

the date of such measurements, 

maintenance reports, and records. 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 United 

States Environmental Protection Agency 

(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, 

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 50 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 and operators of petroleum 

refineries. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

132. 

Frequency of Response: 

Semiannually, on occasion. 

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 

14,134 hours. 

Estimated Total Annual Costs: 

$1,682,453, which includes $0 

annualized capital/startup costs, 

$541,464 annual O&M costs, and 

$1,140,989 in Respondent Labor costs. 

55130 Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 181 / Tuesday, September 20, 2005 / Notices 

Changes in the Estimates: Adjustment 

of burden hours added 2,183 hours, but 

was more than offset by Program Change 

decrease of 5,408 hours, so that the 

overall decrease in burden was 3,225 

hours per year. This decrease is due to 

the removal of quarterly emission 

reporting requirements. Only 

semiannual emission reporting is 

required by the standards. The increase 

in O&M cost is due to use of a more 

accurate source for this information.

Title: Delisting the Fish Tainting 

Beneficial Use Impairment in the 

Saginaw River/Bay Area of Concern 

Abstract: The 1988 Saginaw River/ 

Bay RAP cited 12 impairments of the 14 

categories specifically listed by the IJC 

for the Saginaw River/Bay AOC, 

including tainting of fish (i.e., taste and 

odor concerns). Chemical odors and 

tastes associated with harvested fish 

were frequently reported from the 1940s 

through the 1970s in the Saginaw and 

Tittabawassee Rivers, and in the 

Saginaw Bay. In the 1994 Remedial 

Action Plan Update, the Michigan 

Department of Natural Resources 

reported that no off-flavor was detected 

in taste tests conducted on fish taken 

from these waters. Since taste and odor 

complaints related to edible fish taken 

from both Saginaw River and Bay have 

disappeared in recent years, this project 

will distribute a voluntary survey to 

7,680 local residents and anglers to 

determine if taste and odor problems in 

fish fillets have abated to the extent that 

delisting of the beneficial use 

impairment may be recommended for 

the Area of Concern (AOC). Results of 

the individual survey respondents will 

be confidential. 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 4 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 voluntary 

survey instrument is expected to take .5 

hours to review and complete per 

individual response. The targeted 

frequency of response is 20 percent, or 

1,536 completed surveys. 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
