annual waste quantity, range of benzene

concentrations, annual average flowweighted benzene concentration, and

annual benzene quantity.

(2) For each process wastewater

stream not controlled for benzene

emissions, the records shall include all

measurements, calculations, and other

documentation used to determine that

the continuous flow of process

wastewater is less than 0.02 liters per

minute, or the annual waste quantity of

process wastewater is less than 10 Mg/

yr.

(3) For each facility where process

wastewater streams are controlled for

benzene emissions, the records shall

include for each treated process

wastewater stream: all measurements,

calculations, and other documentation

used to determine the annual benzene

quantity in the process wastewater

stream exiting the treatment process.

(4) For each facility where wastewater

streams are controlled for benzene

emissions, the records shall include all

measurements, calculations, and other

documentation used to determine the

annual benzene quantity in the

wastewater streams exiting wastewater

treatment systems at the facility.

(5) Owners or operators transferring

waste off-site to another facility for

treatment shall maintain documentation

for each offsite waste shipment that

includes the following information: date

waste is shipped offsite, quantity of

waste shipped offsite, name and address

of the facility receiving the waste, and

a copy of the notice sent with the waste

shipment.

(6) An owner or operator using

control equipment, shall maintain

engineering design documentation for

all control equipment installed on the

waste management unit. The

documentation shall be retained for the

life of the control equipment.

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;

(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 collection

techniques or other forms of information

technology, e.g., permitting electronic

submission of responses.

Burden Statement

Most of the industry costs associated

with the information collection activity

in the standards are labor. The current

average annual burden to industry from

these record keeping and reporting

requirements is estimated at 17,028

person-hours. The respondent costs

have been calculated based on $14.50

per hour plus 110 percent overhead.

The current average annual burden to

industry is estimated to be $518,503.

Based upon available information, it

has been estimated that 395 facilities are

subject to the standards, and 140 of

those are estimated to have more than

10 Mg/yr of benzene in the waste. In

addition, EPA estimates that these 140

facilities have a total of 2,819 waste

streams per facility for which initial

benzene concentration determination

could be made. A total of 57 facilities

are estimated to have more than 50 Mg/

yr of benzene in their wastes and are

expected to apply controls without

applying for exceptions.

No person is 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 displayed in 40

CFR part 9.

Send comments regarding these

matters, or any aspect of the information

collection, including suggestions for

reducing the burden, to the address

listed above.

Proposed Settlement Agreement,

Determinations of Attainment of the

Ozone Standard by Pittsburgh-Beaver

Valley, Pennsylvania and Reading,

Pennsylvania Ozone Nonattainment

Areas

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of proposed settlement

agreement; request for public comment.

SUMMARY: Inaccordance with Section

113(g) of the Clean Air Act (‘‘Act’’),

notice is hereby given of a proposed

settlement agreement concerning

litigation instituted against the

Environmental Protection Agency

(‘‘EPA’’) regarding EPA’s July 19, 1995

determinations regarding the attainment

of the ozone standard by the PittsburghBeaver Valley, Pennsylvania, and

Reading, Pennsylvania ozone

nonattainment areas and the

applicability of certain pollution control

requirements, 60 Fed. Reg. 37,015 (July

19, 1995). Delaware Valley Citizens’

Council for Clean Air v. Browner, No.

95–3494 (3rd Cir.) and Delaware Valley

Citizens’ Council for Clean Air v.

Browner, No. 96–3086 (3rd Cir.).

The proposed settlement agreement

provides that, no later than June 30,

1996, the EPA Regional Administrator,

Region 3, will sign a notice of final

rulemaking concerning the proposed

Revocation of Determination of

Attainment of Ozone Standard by the

Pittsburgh-Beaver Ozone Nonattainment

and Reinstatement of Applicability of

Certain Reasonable Further Progress and

Attainment Demonstration

Requirements. 61 Fed. Reg. 5360 (Feb.

12, 1996). The proposed agreement also

provides that, no later than July 31,

1996, the EPA Regional Administrator,

Region 3, shall sign a notice of proposed

rulemaking proposing action on the

Commonwealth of Pennsylvania’s

request, submitted November 12, 1993,

for EPA to redesignate to attainment for

ozone the Reading, Pennsylvania ozone

nonattainment area; and that the EPA

Regional Administrator, Region 3 shall

sign a notice of final rulemaking

concerning the above request no later

than December 31, 1996.

For a period of thirty [30] days

following the date of publication of this

notice, the Agency will receive written

comments relating to the settlement.

EPA or the Department of Justice may

withhold or withdraw consent to the

proposed settlement agreement if the

comments disclose facts or

circumstances that indicate that such

consent is inappropriate, improper,

inadequate, or inconsistent with the

requirements of the Act.

Copies of the settlement agreement

are available from Sonja Lee, Air and

Radiation Division (2344), Office of

General Counsel, U.S. Environmental

Protection Agency, 401 M Street, SW.,
