encryption, and be free of any defects or 

viruses. For additional information

What Information Is EPA Particularly 

Interested In? 

Pursuant to section 3506(c)(2)(A) of 

the PRA, EPA specifically solicits 

comments and information to enable it 

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. In 

particular, EPA is requesting comments 

from very small businesses (those that 

employ less than 25) on examples of 

specific additional efforts that EPA 

could make to reduce the paperwork 

burden for very small businesses 

affected by this collection.

suggestions helpful for preparing your 

comments: 

1. Explain your views as clearly as 

possible and provide specific examples. 

2. Describe any assumptions that you 

used.

What Information Collection Activity or 

ICR Does This Apply to? 

Docket ID No. EPA–HQ–OAR–2003– 

0085 

Affected entities: Entities potentially 

affected by this action are the following 

industries and associated NAICS Codes: 

Elemental Phosphorous—325188; 

Phosphogypsum Stacks—212392; 

Underground Uranium Mines—212291; 

and Uranium Mills—212291. 

Title: NESHAP for Radionuclides (40 

CFR part 61, subparts B, K, R and W) 

(Renewal). 

ICR numbers: EPA ICR No. 1100.13, 

OMB Control No. 2060–0191. 

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, 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: In the context of the Clean 

Air Act (42 U.S.C. 1857), Section 114 

authorizes the Administrator of EPA to 

require any person who owns or 

operates any emission source or who is 

subject to any requirements of the Act 

to: (1) Establish and maintain records, 

(2) Make reports, install, use, and 

maintain monitoring equipment or 

method, (3) Sample emissions in 

accordance with EPA-prescribed 

locations, intervals and methods, and 

(4) Provide information as may be 

requested. EPA’s regional offices use the 

information collected to ensure that 

public health continues to be protected 

from the hazards of radionuclides by 

compliance with health based 

standards. This information is required 

for those facilities meeting the 

definition of each Subpart. EPA’s 

compliance monitoring activities vary 

widely. EPA could issue a letter 

requesting information about 

compliance or could conduct a full scale 

investigation, including on-site 

inspections. 

Burden Statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average 148 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: 62. 

Frequency of response: Annual. 

Estimated total average number of 

responses for each respondent: 1. 

Estimated total annual burden hours: 

148 hours. 

Estimated total annual costs: 

$1,270,000. This includes an estimated 

burden cost of $460,000 and an 

estimated cost of $810,000 for capital 

investment or maintenance and 

operational costs. 

Are There Changes in the Estimates 

From the Last Approval? 

There is an increase of 4,984 hours in 

the total estimated respondent burden 

compared with that identified in the ICR 

currently approved by OMB. This 

increase reflects an increase in the 

number of facilities affected due to both 

renewed interest in uranium mining and 

phosphgypsum usage. 

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
