industries, were proposed on April 23, 

1986, and promulgated on September 

28, 1992. These standards apply to new, 

modified and reconstructed calciners 

and dryers at mineral processing plants 

that process or produce any of the 

following minerals and their 

concentrates or any mixture of which 

the majority is any of the following 

minerals or a combination of these 

minerals: alumina, ball clay, bentonite, 

diatomite, feldspar, fire clay, fuller’s 

earth, gypsum, industrial sand, kaolin, 

lightweight aggregate, magnesium 

compounds, perlite, roofing granules, 

talc, titanium dioxide, and vermiculite. 

Owners or operators of the affected 

facilities must make one-time-only 

reports including notification of startup, 

initial performance test, notification of 

any physical or operational change to an 

existing facility, and notification of the 

demonstration of the continuous 

monitoring system (CMS). Owners or 

operators are also required to maintain 

records of the occurrence and duration 

of any startup, shut down, or 

malfunction, or any period during 

which the monitoring system is 

inoperative. Performance tests are 

needed as these are the Agency’s 

records of a source’s initial capability to 

comply with emissions standards and 

note the operating conditions under 

which compliance was achieved. 

Semiannual reports of excess emissions 

are also required. 

Any owner or operator subject to the 

provisions of this part must maintain a 

file of these measurements, and retain 

the file for at least two years following 

the collection 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 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 20 hours per 

response. Burden means the total time, 

effort, or financial resources expended 

by persons to generate, maintain, retain, 

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: Owner 

or operator of each calciner and dryer at 

a mineral processing plant. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

167. 

Frequency of Response: Semiannual, 

initially and on occasion. 

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 

6,955 hours. 

Estimated Total Annual Costs: 

$674,035, which includes $108,550 

annualized capital/startup costs, $4,000 

annual O&M costs, and $561,485 annual 

labor costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: The 

increase in the burden from the most 

recently approved ICR is due to the fact 

that there is an increase of one source 

per year. In addition, we are presently 

accounting for management and clerical 

person hours per year, which was not 

shown in the previous ICR, and we have 

updated the salary table. 

There is however, a decline in the 

annualized cost. The reason for the 

decline is because there is only one new 

source in the renewal ICR instead of two 

as in the previous ICR.

Title: Risk Management Program 

Requirements and Petitions to Modify 

the List of Regulated Substances under 

Section 112(r) of the Clean Air Act 

(Renewal). 

Abstract: The 1990 CAA Amendments 

added section 112(r) to provide for the 

prevention and mitigation of accidental 

releases. Section 112(r) mandates that 

EPA promulgate a list of ‘‘regulated 

substances,’’ with threshold quantities 

and establish procedures for the 

addition and deletion of substances 

from the list of ‘‘regulated substances.’’

Processes at stationary sources that 

contain a threshold quantity of a 

regulated substance are subject to 

accidental release prevention 

regulations promulgated under CAA 

section 112(r)(7). These two rules are 

codified as 40 CFR part 68. Part 68 

requires that sources with more than a 

threshold quantity of a regulated 

substance in a process develop and 

implement a risk management program 

and submit a risk management plan 

(RMP) to EPA. The compliance schedule 

for the part 68 requirements was 

established by rule on June 20, 1996. 

Burden to sources that are currently 

covered by part 68, for initial rule 

compliance, including rule 

familiarization and program 

implementation were accounted for in 

ICR 1656.03. Sources submitted their 

first RMPs on June 21, 1999. The next 

compliance deadline was June 21, 2004, 

five years after the first submission. 

Some of the sources revised and 

submitted their RMPs between the 

mandatory deadlines. These sources 

were then assigned a five-year 

compliance deadline based on the date 

of their revised plan submission. The 

next submission of RMPs for all sources 

is by June 21, 2009. The period covered 

by this ICR is between the two 

mandatory deadlines (2004 and 2009). 

Therefore, in this ICR, EPA has 

accounted for only on-going program 

implementation costs for all sources that 

are currently covered by part 68 

requirements, compliance costs for new 

sources that may become subject to the 

regulations, and burden for sources that 

re-submit RMPs before the next 

compliance deadline. 

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 public 

reporting burden will depend on the 

regulatory program tier into which 

sources are categorized. In this ICR, the 

public reporting burden for rule 

familiarization for new sources is 

estimated to range from 20 to 40 hours 

per source. The public reporting burden 

to prepare and submit a RMP for new 

sources is estimated to range from 10 to 

30 hours. The public reporting burden 

for new sources to develop prevention 

programs is estimated to range from 70 

to 95 hours per source. The public 

reporting burden for CBI claims is 

estimated to be 9.5 hours per source. 

Burden for RMP revisions is estimated 

to range from 10 to 40 hours per source. 

The public record keeping burden to 

maintain on-site documentation for 

currently covered sources is estimated 

to range from 3 hours to 146 hours. The 

total annual public reporting burden for 

new sources to become familiar with the 

rule, develop and submit a RMP, 

develop prevention program, 

substantiate claims for confidential 

business information, submit revised 

RMPs, and develop on-site 

documentation for existing sources is 

about 92,442 hours (277,326 hours over 

three years). The total annual burden 

estimated for 15 states that may be 

implementing a Part 68 program is 6,157 

hours (18,471 hours for three years). 

Therefore, the total annual burden for 

all sources and states is estimated to be 

98,599 hours (295,797 hours for three 

years). 

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: 

Chemical manufacturers, petroleum 

refineries, water treatment systems, nonchemical manufacturers, etc. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

1,397, including state implementing 

agencies. 

Frequency of Response: Every five 

years, unless the facilities need to 

update their previous submission. 

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 

98,599 hours. 

Estimated Total Annual Cost: 

$3,582,614, which includes $0 

annualized capital, $6,910 O&M costs, 

and $3,575,704 Respondent Labor costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is a 

decrease of 32,204 hours in the total 

estimated burden currently identified in 

the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR 

Burdens. This decrease is mainly due to 

the RMP submission schedule. The last 

submission of RMPs by all sources was 

in June 2004. The next compliance 

deadline is June 2009, which is after 

this ICR period. This ICR only accounts 

for compliance burden for new sources 

that may become subject to the 

regulations, any revised RMP that may 

be submitted by existing sources, and 

on-site documentation for existing 

sources. The burden may increase in the 

next ICR renewal since the next 

deadline for all sources to submit RMPs 

will fall within the next ICR period.
