3030 Federal Register / Vol. 61, No. 20 / Tuesday, January 30, 1996 / Notices

estimated that it will take one personhour to read the instructions. The ICR

uses 60 burden hours for the initial

performance test this includes the

burden to write the report of the

performance test. It is assumed that 20%

of all affected facilities will have to

repeat performance tests.

The following is a breakdown used in

the ICR. Burden is calculated as two

hours each for respondents to gather

existing information and write the

reports for; notification of construction/

modification, notification of anticipated

start-up, and notification of initial

performance test. The burden is

calculated as one hour for respondents

to gather existing information and write

a report for notification of actual startup. These are all one time only burdens.

These notifications, reports and records

are required in general, of all sources

subject to NSPS.

Recordkeeping is the only ongoing

burden associated with this ICR. The

recordkeeping burden—time to enter

information—records of start-up,

shutdown, malfunction, or any periods

during which the monitoring system is

inoperative is estimated to be one and

one half hours 50 times per year or

about one occurrence per week.

The burden to enter records of tank

identification numbers is 0.1 of an hour

with the assumption it takes six minutes

to enter each tank truck identification

number. It is estimated there will be

approximately 2,100 truck loadings per

year based on six tank trucks each day

multiplied by 350 days per year. It is

estimated that leak detection records

from monthly inspection of control

equipment is one person-hour every two

years.

This estimate 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.

Performance Standards (NSPS).

On August 5, 1976, EPA initially

delegated the authority for

implementation and enforcement of the

NSPS programs to the State of Alabama.

On June 10, 1991, and August 14, 1995,

Alabama requested a delegation of

authority for implementation and

enforcement of the following NSPS

categories found in 40 CFR Part 60.

40 CFR Part 60

1994, as adopted March 16, 1995.

Section 61.174(a) within Subpart O

cannot be delegated.

2. Standard of Performance for

Automobile and Light-Duty Truck

Surface Coating Operations, as specified

in 40 CFR part 60, Subpart MM, as

amended by 59 FR 51383 October 11,

1994, as adopted March 16, 1995.

3. Standard of Performance for

Volatile Organic Compound (VOC)

Emissions from the Synthetic Organic

Chemical Manufacturing Industry

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: EPA

announces the availability of draft

guidances that will assist stationary

sources in complying with the

provisions of CAA section 112(r)(7)(B),

including the requirement to prepare

risk management plans. The documents

made available today are drafts of

guidances and would not, when

finalized, create any obligations on the

part of entities subject to CAA section

112(r)(7)(B); thus, these documents are

neither regulations nor proposed

regulations.

EPA proposed Risk Management

Program regulations to implement CAA

section 112(r)(7) on October 20, 1993

(58 FR 54190) and March 13, 1995 (60

FR 13528). For information on the

proposed regulations, please see the

above-referenced notices. Furthermore,

for information on chemicals, sources,

and processes subject to CAA section

112(r)(7), please see 40 CFR part 68 and

the notice establishing these provisions

(59 FR 4478, January 31, 1994).

The draft ‘‘Offsite Consequence

Assessment’’ guidance contains all the

methodologies and reference tables that

would be necessary to develop and

analyze the consequences of worst case

and more likely (‘‘alternative case’’)

scenarios for the regulations under CAA

section 112(r)(7)(B). This guidance is

designed to help those sources subject

to section 112(r)(7) comply with the

offsite consequence requirements

without specific expertise or access to

computer-based and more sophisticated

modeling tools. EPA contemplates that

sources will be able to use the modeling

results contained in a final guidance or

other appropriate modeling results in

complying with the section 112(r)(7)

regulations.

The draft ‘‘Generic Guidance Risk

Management Program (RMP) for

Ammonia Refrigeration Facilities’’ is a

model program and plan that will help

owners and operators of ammonia

refrigeration facilities comply with the

CAA section 112(r). The draft guidance

includes a section on hazard assessment

and on emergency response, and four

appendices: (A) Selection of scenarios;

(B) background information on

ammonia modeling; (C) effect of

ammonia releases on structures; and (D)

refrigerated ammonia release modeling.

The Risk Management Program

regulation will require submission of

risk management plans. The draft Risk

Management Data Elements maps out

the kinds of information that would be

submitted by each source as its risk

management plan. The draft includes an

executive summary, registration, data on

worst case and alternative releases for

toxics and for flammables, five-year
