Estimated Total Annual Cost: 

$938,461, which includes $116,319 

annualized capital or O&M costs and

estimated burden currently identified in 

the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR 

Burdens, which reflect the burden for 

reinstating the entire program. EPA has 

not collected under this ICR since it 

expired in March 2008. There is a 

decrease of 1,624 hours from the last 

time this ICR was approved. This is 

because the number of respondents 

decreased from 24 to 21.

Title: NSPS for Sulfuric Acid Plants 

(Renewal). 

ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 

1057.11, OMB Control Number 2060– 

0041. 

ICR Status: This ICR is schedule to 

expire on October 31, 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 New Source 

Performance Standards (NSPS) for 

Sulfuric Acid Plants were proposed on 

August 17, 1971, and promulgated on 

December 23, 1971. These standards 

apply to any sulfuric acid facility 

commencing construction, modification 

or reconstruction after the date of 

proposal. The control of sulfur dioxide 

(SO2) and acid mist requires not only 

the installation of properly designed 

equipment, but also 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 feed-stock to form SO2, 

catalytic oxidation of SO2 to sulfur 

trioxide, 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 are required to make the 

following one-time-only reports, 

notification of the date of construction 

or reconstruction, notification of actual 

startup dates, notification of any 

physical or operational change to an 

existing facility, and notification of 

demonstration of the continuous 

emissions monitoring system (CEMS). 


sroberts on PROD1PC70 with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 171 / Wednesday, September 3, 2008 / Notices 51467 

Owners and operators must also submit 

notification 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. 

Respondents are also required to 

maintain records of occurrence and 

duration of any startup, shutdown, or 

malfunction, or any period during 

which the monitoring system is 

inoperative. 

Notifications are to inform the Agency 

or delegated authority when a source 

becomes subject to the standard. The 

reviewing authority may then inspect 

the source to ensure that the pollution 

control devices are properly installed 

and operating and that the standards are 

being met. Performance test reports are 

required as these are the Agency’s 

records of a sources’ initial capability to 

comply with the emission standards and 

to serve as a record of the operating 

conditions under which compliance are 

to be achieved. The information 

generated by monitoring, recordkeeping 

and reporting requirements described in 

this ICR are used by the Agency to 

ensure that facilities that are affected by 

the standard continue to operate the 

control equipment and achieve 

continuous compliance with the 

regulation. 

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 60, subpart H, as 

authorized in sections 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 listed in 

40 CFR part 9 and 48 CFR chapter 15 

is identified on the form and/or 

instrument, if applicable. 

Burden Statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information estimated 

to average 127 hours per response. 

Burden means the total time, effort, or 

financial resources expended by persons 

to generate, maintain, retain, or disclose 

and 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. All existing 

ways will have to adjust to comply with 

any previously applicable instructions 

and requirements that 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: 

Sulfuric acid plants. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

103. 

Frequency of Response: Initially, 

occasionally, and semiannually. 

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 

26,177. 

Estimated Total Annual Cost: 

$2,576,771, which includes $463,500 

O&M costs and $2,113,271 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: (1) The 

regulations have not changed over the 

past three years and are not anticipated 

to change over the next three years; and 

(2) the growth rate for the industry is 

very low, negative or non-existent, so 

there is no significant change in the 

overall burden. It should be noted that 

the previous ICR rounded the burden 

cost up to the nearest one thousand. In 

this ICR, the exact cost figure is reported 

which results in an apparent decrease in 

the cost when, in fact, no decrease has 

occurred. 

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 was used in this ICR, and there is 

no change in burden to industry.

Final Guidance for Pesticide 

Registrants on Antimicrobial Pesticide 

Products With Anthrax-Related Claims 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice of availability. 

SUMMARY: The Agency is announcing 

the availability of a Pesticide 

Registration Notice (PR Notice) entitled 

‘‘Antimicrobial Pesticide Products With 

Anthrax-Related Claims.’’ This PR 

Notice was issued by the Agency on 

[insert date PR Notice is signed by the 

OD] and is identified as PR Notice 

2008–2. PR Notices are issued by the 

EPA’s Office of Pesticide Programs 

(EPA/OPP) to inform pesticide 

registrants and other interested persons 

about important policies, procedures, 

and registration related decisions, and 

serve to provide guidance to pesticide 

registrants and OPP personnel. This 

particular PR Notice provides guidance 

pertaining to applications of registration 

for antimicrobial products that would 

make labeling claims to inactivate 

Bacillus anthracis (anthrax) spores 

(hereafter referred to as ‘‘anthrax-related 

products’’).
