Title: NESHAP for Epoxy Resin and 

Non-Nylon Polyamide Production 

(Renewal). 

ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 

1681.06, OMB Control Number 2060–

0290. 

ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to 

expire on February 29, 2008. Under 

OMB regulations, the Agency may 

continue to conduct or sponsor the 

collection of information while this 

submission is pending at OMB. 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 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 National Emission 

Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants 

(NESHAP) were proposed on May 16, 

1994, and promulgated on March 8, 

1995. This ICR contains recordkeeping 

and reporting requirements that are 

mandatory for compliance with 40 CFR 

part 63, subpart W, regulating hazardous 

air pollutants from process vents, 

storage vessels, wastewater systems and 

equipment leaks. The standards require 

mandatory recordkeeping and reporting 

to document process information related 

to the source’s ability to comply with 

the standards. This information is used 

by the Agency to identify sources 

subject to the standards and to insure 

that the maximum achievable control 

technology is being properly applied. 

Section 112 of the Clean Air Act, as 

amended in 1990, requires that EPA 

establish standards to limit emissions of 

hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) from 

stationary sources. The sources subject 

to these provisions emit the HAPs 

epichlorohydrin, and in lesser amounts, 

hydrochloric acid and methanol. In the 

Administrator’s judgment, hazardous air 

pollutant emissions in this industry 

cause or contribute to air pollution that 

may be reasonably expected to endanger 

public health or welfare. Respondents 

are owners or operators of new and 

existing facilities that manufacture 

polymers and resins from 

epichlorohydrin. Source categories 

include basic liquid epoxy resin (BLR) 

producers and producers of 

epichlorohydrin-modified non-nylon 

polyamide resins, also known as wet 

strength resins (WSR). 

Any owner or operator subject to the 

provisions of this part shall maintain a 

file of these measurements, and retain 

the file for at least five years following 

the date 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. This information is 

being collected to assure compliance 

with 40 CFR part 63, subpart W and 40 

CFR part 63, subpart A, as authorized in 

section 112 and 114(a) of the Clean Air 

Act. The required information consists 

of emissions data and other information 

that have been determined to be private. 

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 

Number 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 214 hours per 

response. 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. 

Respondents/Affected Entities: Epoxy 

resin and non-nylon polyamide 

production. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 7. 

Frequency of Response: 

Semiannually, quarterly and initially. 

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 

3,853. 

Estimated Total Annual Cost: 

$252,711, which is comprised of $0 

annualized Capital Startup costs, $9,000 

in annual Operating and Maintenance 

(O&M) costs, and $243,711 annual Labor 

costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is no 

change in the labor hours or cost in this 

ICR compared to the previous ICR. This 

is due to two considerations. First, the 

regulations have not changed over the 

past three years and are not anticipated 

to change over the next three years. 

Secondly, the growth rate for the 

industry is very low, negative or nonexistent, so there is no significant 

change in the overall burden. 

Since there are no changes in the 

regulatory requirements and there is no 

significant industry growth, the labor 

hours and cost figures in the previous 

ICR are used in this ICR and there is no 

change in burden to industry.

affected by this action are business or 

other for-profit, not-for-profit 

institutions, farms, as well as state, local 

or tribal governments. 

Title: Requirements for Generators, 

Transporters, and Waste Management 

Facilities Under the RCRA Hazardous 

Waste Manifest System. 

ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 0801.16, 

OMB Control No. 2050–0039. 

ICR status: This ICR is currently 

scheduled to expire on May 31, 2008. 

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, 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 Resource Conservation 

and Recovery Act (RCRA), as amended, 

establishes a national program to assure 

that hazardous waste management 

practices are conducted in a manner 

that is protective of human health and 

the environment. EPA’s authority to 

require compliance with the manifest 

system stems primarily from RCRA 

section 3002(a)(5). This section 


rmajette on PROD1PC64 with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 24 / Tuesday, February 5, 2008 / Notices 6723 

mandates a hazardous waste manifest 

‘‘system’’ to assure that all hazardous 

waste generated is designated for and 

arrives at the appropriate treatment, 

storage, and disposal facility. An 

essential part of this manifest system is 

the Uniform Hazardous Waste Manifest 

(Form 8700–22A). The manifest is a 

tracking document that accompanies the 

waste from its generation site to its final 

disposition. The manifest lists the 

wastes that are being shipped and the 

final destination of the waste. The 

manifest system is a self-enforcing 

mechanism that requires generators, 

transporters, and owner/operators of 

treatment, storage, and disposal 

facilities to participate in hazardous 

waste tracking. In addition, the manifest 

provides information to transporters and 

waste management facility workers on 

the hazardous nature of the waste, 

identifies wastes so that they can be 

managed appropriately in the event of 

an accident, spill, or leak, and ensures 

that shipments of hazardous waste are 

managed properly and delivered to their 

designated facilities. 

Burden Statement: The annual public 

reporting and record keeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average 1.52 hours per 

response. 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: 131,803. 

Frequency of response: Per Waste 

Shipment. 

Estimated total average number of 

responses for each respondent: 13.37. 

Estimated total annual burden hours: 

3,264,991. 

Estimated total annual costs: 

$152,600,000. This includes an 

estimated burden cost of $150,000,000 

for labor and an estimated cost of 

$2,600,000 for capital investment and 

maintenance and operational costs. 

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

Notice of Data Availability on the 

Disposal of Coal Combustion Wastes 

in Landfills and Surface 

Impoundments; Reopening of 

Comment Period 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice of Data Availability; 

Reopening of Comment Period. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) is reopening the comment 

period for the Notice of Data 

Availability (NODA) entitled ‘‘Notice of 

Data Availability on the Disposal of Coal 

Combustion Wastes in Landfills and 

Surface Impoundments.’’ This NODA 

announces the availability of new 

information and data concerning the 

management of coal combustion wastes 

(CCW) in landfills and surface 

impoundments that will be used by the 

Agency to inform its decisionmaking 

regarding its Regulatory Determination 

for CCW disposed of in landfills and 

surface impoundments. This NODA was 

published on August 29, 2007 (72 FR 

49714), and the comment period was 

scheduled to close on November 27, 

2007. However, a number of 

environmental groups requested 

additional time to respond to the issues 

raised in the NODA and its 

accompanying documents. 

Consequently, the Agency extended the 

comment period an additional 60 days 

to January 28, 2008 (72 FR 57572). The 

same group of commenters then 

requested a short amount of additional 

time to finish gathering information that 

they believe is necessary to complete 

their comments. Therefore, we are 

reopening the comment period from the 

date of publication of this notice to 

close on February 11, 2008. 

DATES: The comment period is reopened 

from the date of publication of this 

notice to close on February 11, 2008.
