61814 Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 206 / Wednesday, October 26, 2005 / Notices 

pursuant to the Agency’s 2004 Effluent 

Guidelines Plan (69 FR 53719, 

September 2, 2004). The focus of the 

rulemaking is on wastewater discharges 

from aircraft and airport pavement 

deicing operations. EPA will send 

survey questionnaires to a sample of 

airports and airlines to help the Agency 

compile a national assessment of 

deicing operations. Three 

questionnaires will be used: A detailed 

airport questionnaire, a short ‘‘screener’’

airline questionnaire, and a detailed 

airline questionnaire. The detailed 

questionnaires will include questions 

on the deicing technologies employed, 

amount of deicing chemicals used, 

pollution prevention techniques, and 

economic and financial information. 

The airline screener will ask airlines 

whether they deice their own aircraft at 

specified locations, or if another party 

conducts the deicing operation. EPA 

will use the screener results to select 

airline locations for responding to the 

detailed airline questionnaire. 

Completion of this one-time survey will 

be mandatory pursuant to section 308 of 

the Clean Water Act. 

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 is 

estimated to average 62 hours for airport 

questionnaire respondents, 21 hours for 

airline detailed questionnaire 

respondents, and 5.5 hours for airline 

screener respondents to complete and 

review their responses to the 

questionnaire and associated data 

submissions. 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: 

Airports and airlines that perform 

deicing and anti-icing on aircraft and/or 

airfield pavement. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

290. 

Frequency of Response: One time 

response. 

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 

20,851 hours. 

Estimated Total Annual Cost: 

$871,998, includes $0 annualized 

capital expenditure and $8,134 

Respondent O&M costs.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Additional Information About the 

Proposed Settlement 

This case concerns challenges to the 

rule entitled ‘‘National Emission 

Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants: 

Miscellaneous Organic Chemical 

Manufacturing; Final Rule’’ (‘‘MON’’). 

68 FR 63852 (November 10, 2003). 

These standards are based on the 

performance of Maximum Achievable 

Control Technology (MACT), and 

implement section 112(d) of the Clean 

Air Act. Under the terms of the 

proposed settlement agreement, EPA 

has agreed that: (1) On or before 

November 30, 2005, the EPA 

Administrator will sign a notice of 

proposed rulemaking to amend the 

MON as provided in Attachment A to 

the Settlement Agreement; (2) As part of 

the proposed amendments to the MON, 

EPA will include language in the 

preamble as provided in Attachment B 

to the Settlement Agreement; (3) Within 

30 days of the date the comment period 

on the proposed amendments closes, 

EPA will take final action on the 

Federal Register / Vol. 70, No. 206 / Wednesday, October 26, 2005 / Notices 61815 

proposed 18 month compliance 

extension; and (4) Within 150 days of 

the date the comment period on the 

proposed amendments closes, EPA will 

sign a notice of final rulemaking. 

Petitioners have agreed to dismiss 

their petitions for review if EPA takes 

final action amending the MON in a 

manner substantially the same as the 

amendments set forth in Attachment A 

and not substantially inconsistent with 

the language in Attachment B. 

For a period of thirty (30) days 

following the date of publication of this 

notice, the Agency will receive written 

comments relating to the proposed 

settlement agreement from persons who 

were not named as parties or interveners 

to the litigation in question. EPA or the 

Department of Justice may withdraw or 

withhold consent to the proposed 

settlement agreement if the comments 

disclose facts or considerations that 

indicate that such consent is 

inappropriate, improper, inadequate, or 

inconsistent with the requirements of 

the Act. Unless EPA or the Department 

of Justice determine, based on any 

comment which may be submitted, that 

consent to the settlement agreement 

should be withdrawn, the terms of the 

agreement will be affirmed. 

II. Additional Information About 

Commenting on the Proposed 

Settlement 

A. How Can I Get a Copy of the 

Settlement? 

EPA has established an official public 

docket for this action under Docket ID 

No. OGC–2005–0015 which contains a 

copy of the settlement. The official 

public docket is available for public 

viewing at the Office of Environmental 

Information (OEI) Docket in the EPA 

Docket Center, EPA West, Room B102, 

1301 Constitution Ave., NW., 

Washington, DC. The EPA Docket 

Center Public Reading Room is open 

from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday 

through Friday, excluding legal 

holidays. The telephone number for the 

Public Reading Room is (202) 566–1744, 

and the telephone number for the OEI 

Docket is (202) 566–1752. 

An electronic version of the public 

docket is available through EPA’s 

electronic public docket and comment 

system, EPA Dockets. You may use EPA 

Dockets at http://www.epa.gov/edocket/ 

to submit or view public comments, 

access the index listing of the contents 

of the official public docket, and to 

access those documents in the public 

docket that are available electronically. 

Once in the system, select ‘‘search,’’

then key in the appropriate docket 

identification number. 

It is important to note that EPA’s 

policy is that public comments, whether 

submitted electronically or on paper, 

will be made available for public 

viewing in EPA’s electronic public 

docket as EPA receives them and 

without change, unless the comment 

contains copyrighted material, CBI, or 

other information whose disclosure is 

restricted by statute. Information 

claimed as CBI and other information 

whose disclosure is restricted by statute 

is not included in the official public 

docket or in EPA’s electronic public 

docket. EPA’s policy is that copyrighted 

material, including copyrighted material 

contained in a public comment, will not 

be placed in EPA’s electronic public 

docket but will be available only in 

printed, paper form in the official public 

docket. Although not all docket 

materials may be available 

electronically, you may still access any 

of the publicly available docket 

materials through the EPA Docket 

Center. 

B. How and To Whom Do I Submit 

Comments? 

You may submit comments as 

provided in the ADDRESSES section. 

Please ensure that your comments are 

submitted within the specified comment 

period. Comments received after the 

close of the comment period will be 

marked ‘‘late.’’ EPA is not required to 

consider these late comments. 

If you submit an electronic comment, 

EPA recommends that you include your 

name, mailing address, and an e-mail 

address or other contact information in 

the body of your comment and with any 

disk or CD ROM you submit. This 

ensures that you can be identified as the 

submitter of the comment and allows 

EPA to contact you in case EPA cannot 

read your comment due to technical 

difficulties or needs further information 

on the substance of your comment. Any 

identifying or contact information 

provided in the body of a comment will 

be included as part of the comment that 

is placed in the official public docket, 

and made available in EPA’s electronic 

public docket. If EPA cannot read your 

comment due to technical difficulties 

and cannot contact you for clarification, 

EPA may not be able to consider your 

comment. 

Your use of EPA’s electronic public 

docket to submit comments to EPA 

electronically is EPA’s preferred method 

for receiving comments. The electronic 

public docket system is an ‘‘anonymous 

access’’ system, which means EPA will 

not know your identity, e-mail address, 

or other contact information unless you 

provide it in the body of your comment. 

In contrast to EPA’s electronic public 

docket, EPA’s electronic mail (e-mail) 

system is not an ‘‘anonymous access’’

system. If you send an e-mail comment 

directly to the Docket without going 

through EPA’s electronic public docket, 

your e-mail address is automatically 

captured and included as part of the 

comment that is placed in the official 

public docket, and made available in 

EPA’s electronic public docket.
