ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION

[FRL–5462–7]

Agency Information Collection

Activities Under OMB Review; NSPS

Subpart H, Sulfuric Acid Plants

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: In compliance with the

Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C.

3507(a)(1)(D).), this notice announces

that the following Information

Collection Request (ICR) has been

forwarded to the Office of Management

and Budget (OMB) for review and

approval: NSPS Subpart H, Sulfuric

Acid Plants, OMB number 2060–0041,

EPA ICR No. 1057.07 expires 06/31/96.

The ICR describes the nature of the

information collection and its expected

burden and cost; where appropriate, it

includes the actual data collection

instrument.

DATES: Comments must be submitted on

or before May 24, 1996.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION OR A COPY

CALL: Sandy Farmer at EPA, (202) 260–

2740, and refer to EPA ICR No. 1057.07

and OMB No. 2060–0041.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Title: NSPS Subpart H, Sulfuric Acid

Plants (OMB Control No. 2060–0041;

EPA ICR No. 1057.07) expiring 06/31/

96. This is a request for extension of a

currently approved collection.

Abstract: This ICR contains

recordkeeping and reporting

requirements that are mandatory for

compliance with 40 CFR Part 60.80,

Subpart H, New Source Performance

Standards for Sulfuric Acid Plants. This

information notifies the Agency when a

source becomes subject to the

regulations, and informs the Agency

that the source is in compliance when

it begins operation. The Agency is

informed of the sources’ compliance

status by semiannual reports. The

calibration and maintenance

requirements aid in a source remaining

in compliance.

In the Administrator’s judgment, SO2

and acid mist emissions from the

manufacture of sulfuric acid cause or

contribute to air pollution that may

reasonably be anticipated to endanger

public health or welfare. Therefore, New

Source Performance Standards have

been promulgated for this source

category as required under Section 111

of the Clean Air Act.

The control of SO2 and acid mist

requires not only the installation of

properly designed equipment, but also
Federal Register / Vol. 61, No. 80 / Wednesday, April 24, 1996 / Notices 18137

the proper operation and maintenance

of that equipment. Sulfur dioxide and

acid mist emissions from sulfuric acid

plants result from the burning of sulfur

or sulfur-bearing feedstocks to form SO2,

catalytic oxidation of SO2 to SO3, and

absorption of SO2 in a strong acid

stream. These standards rely on the

capture of SO2 and acid mist by venting

to a control device.

Owners or operators of Sulfuric Acid

Plants subject to NSPS are required to

make the following one-time-only

reports: notification of the date of

construction or reconstruction;

notification of the anticipated and

actual dates of startup; notification of

any physical or operational change to an

existing facility which may increase the

regulated pollutant emission rate;

notification of demonstration of the

continuous emission monitoring system

(CEMS); notification of the date of the

initial performance test; and the results

of the initial performance test. After the

initial recordkeeping and reporting

requirements, semiannual reports are

required if there has been an exceedance

of control device operating parameters.

Owners or operators 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 notification, reports

and records are required, in general, of

all sources subject to NSPS.

Four new facilities are estimated to

become subject to NSPS Subpart H

annually.

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. The Federal Register Notice required

under 5 CFR 1320.8(d), soliciting

comments on this collection of

information was published on 12/08/95

(60FR63039); no comments were

received.

Burden Statement: The annual public

reporting and recordkeeping burden for

this collection of information is

estimated to average 595.80 hours per

new facility, and 220 hours per existing

facility. 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 transit or otherwise

disclose the information.

Respondents/Affected Entities: 4 new

facilities per year, 100 existing facilities.

Estimated Number of Respondents:

106.

Frequency of Response: 2.

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:

24,823 hours.

Estimated Total Annualized Cost

Burden: $1,094,703.

Send comments on the Agency’s need

for this information, the accuracy of the

provided burden estimates, and any

suggested methods for minimizing

respondent burden, including through

the use of automated collection

techniques to the following addresses.

Please refer to EPA ICR No. 1057.07 and

OMB Control No. 2060–0041 in any

correspondence.

Title: Revision of the Information

Collection Request for the National

Pretreatment Program (40 CFR Part 403).

OMB Control Number 2040–009.

Expiration date October 31, 1999.

Abstract: This Information Collection

Request (ICR) calculates the burden and

costs associated with managing the

National Pretreatment Program

mandated by Sections 402(a) and (b)

and 307(b) of the Clean Water Act. This

ICR is a renewal of the Revision of the

Information Collection Request for the

National Pretreatment Program (OMB

Control No. 2040–0009, ICR No.

0002.07).

Management of the pretreatment

program is the responsibility of the

Office of Wastewater Management

(OWM) in the Office of Water (OW),

Environmental Protection Agency

(EPA). The Clean Water Act requires

EPA to develop national pretreatment

standards to control discharges from

Industrial Users (IUs) into sewage

systems, or Publicly Owned Treatment

Works (POTWs). These standards limit

the level of certain pollutants in IU

wastewaters. EPA administers the

pretreatment program through the

National Pollutant Discharge

Elimination System (NPDES) permit

program. Under the NPDES permit

program, EPA may approve State or

individual POTW implementation of the

pretreatment standards at their

respective levels. OWM uses the data

collected under the pretreatment

program to monitor and enforce

compliance with the regulations, as well

as to authorize program administration

at the State or local (POTW) level. The
