Title: Risk Management Program 

Requirements and Petitions to Modify 

the List of Regulated Substances under 

Section 112(r) of the Clean Air Act. 

ICR number: EPA ICR No. 1656.13, 

OMB Control No. 2050–0144. 

ICR status: This ICR is currently 

scheduled to expire on January 31, 

2009. 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 title 40 

of the CFR, after appearing in the 

Federal Register when approved, are 

listed in 40 CFR part 9, and are 

displayed either by publication in the 

Federal Register or by other appropriate 

means, such as on the related collection 

instrument or form, if applicable. The 

display of OMB control numbers in 

certain EPA regulations is consolidated 

in 40 CFR part 9. 

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 more than 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 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 was accounted for in 

previous ICRs. Sources submitted their 

first RMPs on June 21, 1999. The next 

compliance deadline for most sources 

was June 21, 2004, five years after the 

first submission. Some sources revised 

and submitted their RMPs between the 

five-year deadlines. These sources were 

then assigned a new five-year 

compliance deadline based on the date 

of their revised plan submission. The 

next submission deadline of RMPs for 

most sources is June 21, 2009. However, 

as only some regulated entities have a 

compliance deadline of June 2009, the 

remaining sources have been assigned a 

deadline in 2010, 2011, 2012 or 2013 

(the last two years are after the period 

covered by this ICR) based on the date 

of their most recent submission. The 

period covered by this ICR includes the 

regulatory reporting deadline, June 

2009. In this ICR, EPA has accounted 

burden for new sources that may 

become subject to the regulations, 

currently covered sources with 

compliance deadlines in this ICR period 

(2009 to 2011), sources that are out of 

compliance since the last regulatory 

deadline but are expected to comply 

during this ICR period, and sources that 

have deadlines beyond this ICR period 

but are required to comply with certain 

prevention program documentation 

requirements. 

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. 

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, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; 

(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 electronic, 

mechanical, or other technological 

collection techniques or other forms of 

information technology, e.g., permitting 

electronic submission of responses. 

Burden Statement: The public 

reporting burden will depend on the 

size of the sources complying with 40 

CFR part 68 requirements. In this ICR, 

the public reporting burden for rule 

familiarization for new sources is 

estimated to range from 12 to 32 hours 

per source. The public reporting burden 

to prepare and submit a RMP for new 

sources is estimated to range from 8.25 

to 33 hours. The public reporting 

burden for new sources to develop a 

prevention program is estimated to 

range from 7 to 188 hours per source. 

The public reporting burden for those 

sources that claim CBI is estimated to be 

9.5 hours per source. The public 

reporting burden for currently covered 

sources to prepare and submit RMP is 

estimated to range from 5 to 28 hours. 

The public record keeping burden to 

maintain on-site documentation for 

currently covered sources is estimated 

to range from 4.5 to 124 hours. The total 

annual public reporting burden for all 

sources is 84,729 hours (254,187 hours 

over three years). The total annual 

burden estimated for 16 implementing 

agencies is 9,253 hours (27,759 hours 

for three years). Therefore, the total 

annual burden for all sources and states 

is estimated to be 93,982 hours (281,946 

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 which have subsequently 

changed; 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. 

The ICR provides a detailed 

explanation of the Agency’s estimate, 

which is only briefly summarized here: 

Estimated total number of potential 

respondents: 13,718 for this ICR period. 

Frequency of response: Every five 

years, unless the facilities need to 


sroberts on PROD1PC70 with NOTICES
47596 Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 158 / Thursday, August 14, 2008 / Notices 

update their previous submission earlier 

to comply with a rule requirement. 

Estimated total average number of 

responses for each respondent: one. 

Estimated total annual burden hours: 

93,982 hours including burden for 

implementing agencies. 

Estimated total annual costs: 

$9,785,371.00. There are no capital or 

operating and maintenance costs 

associated with this ICR since all 

sources are required to submit RMPs online using the new electronic reporting 

system, RMP e*submit. 

There is a decrease of 4,617 hours for 

all sources and states from the previous 

ICR. There are two primary reasons for 

this decrease in burden. First, as 

explained in section 1 of the supporting 

statement for this ICR renewal (the 

supporting statement is available at 

http://www.regulations.gov), the burden 

varies from ICR to ICR due to different 

compliance deadlines based on the 

sources’ RMP re-submission deadlines 

and other regulatory deadlines. 

Therefore, the burden increases or 

decreases each year depending on how 

many sources have to submit their RMP 

and comply with certain prevention 

program requirements. Second, the 

number of sources subject to the 

regulations is lower than in the previous 

ICR (16,634 in the previous ICR and 

13,718 sources in this ICR period). 

What Is the Next Step in the Process for 

This ICR? 

EPA will consider the comments 

received and amend the ICR as 

appropriate. The final ICR package will 

then be submitted to OMB for review 

and approval pursuant to 5 CFR 

1320.12. At that time, EPA will issue 

another Federal Register notice 

pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.5(a)(1)(iv) to 

announce the submission of the ICR to 

OMB and the opportunity to submit 

additional comments to OMB. If you 

have any questions about this ICR or the 

approval process, please contact the 

technical person listed under FOR
