ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 

1156.11, OMB Control Number 2060– 

0059. 

ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to 

expire on October 31, 2009. 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: This subpart applies to 

affected facilities at synthetic fiber 

production facilities including each 

solvent-spun synthetic process that 

produces more than 500 megagrams of 

fiber per year. The affected entities are 

subject to the General Provisions of the 

NSPS at 40 CFR part 60, subpart A and 

any changes, or additions to the General 

Provisions specified at 40 CFR part 60, 

subpart HHH. Owners or operators of 

the affected facilities must make an 

initial notification, performance tests, 

periodic reports, and maintain records 

of the occurrence and duration of any 

startup, shutdown, or malfunction in 

the operation of an affected facility, or 

any period during which the monitoring

54040 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 202 / Wednesday, October 21, 2009 / Notices 

system is inoperative. Reports, at a 

minimum, are required semiannually. 

Burden Statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average 34 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: 

Synthetic fiber production facilities. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

22. 

Frequency of Response: Initially, 

occasionally, quarterly, and 

semiannually. 

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 

1,859. 

Estimated Total Annual Cost: 

$315,119, which includes $150,119 in 

labor costs, no annualized capital/ 

startup costs and operation and 

maintenance (O&M) costs of $165,000. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is no 

change in the labor hours or cost to the 

respondents 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 respondents is very low, 

negative, or non-existent. Therefore, the 

labor hours and cost figures in the 

previous ICR reflect the current burden 

to the respondents and are reiterated in 

this ICR.

Integrated Risk Information System 

(IRIS) Update Project; Announcement 

of 2009/2010 Agenda 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency. 

ACTION: Notice of 2009/2010 IRIS 

Update Project and request for 

information. 

SUMMARY: The U.S. Environmental 

Protection Agency (EPA) is announcing 

the establishment of the Integrated Risk 

Information System (IRIS) Update 

Project. The purpose of the IRIS Update 

Project is to revisit a portion of the doseresponse assessment values with a 

posting date on the IRIS database that is 

more than 10 years old. IRIS is an EPA 

data base containing human health risk 

information on possible adverse health 

effects that may result from chronic or 

long-term exposures to chemical 

substances found in the environment. 

This Federal Register notice (FRN) also 

announces the IRIS Update Project’s 

2009/2010 agenda and requests 

submission of new and relevant 

scientific information on health effects 

for the identified assessments listed in 

the Project’s 2009/2010 agenda. 

While EPA is not expressly soliciting 

comments on this notice, the Agency 

will accept information related to the 

substances included herein. Please 

submit any information in accordance 

with the instructions provided below. 

DATES: Information must be submitted 

within 60 days of the publication of this 

notice. The 60-day period begins 

October 21, 2009 and ends December 

21, 2009. Technical comments should 

be in writing and must be received by 

EPA by December 21, 2009. 

ADDRESSES: Comments may be 

submitted electronically via http:// 

www.regulations.gov, by mail, by 

facsimile, or by hand delivery/courier. 

Please follow the detailed instructions 

provided in the SUPPLEMENTARY

INFORMATION section of this notice.

period, contact the Office of 

Environmental Information Docket;

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

The intent of the IRIS Update Project 

is to revisit all dose-response 

assessment toxicity values such as oral 

reference doses (RfDs), inhalation 

reference concentrations (RfCs), cancer 

oral slope factors, and cancer inhalation 

unit risks in IRIS with a posting or entry 

date more than 10 years old. 

IRIS is a database of human health 

effects that may result from chronic 

exposure to various chemical substances 

or other contaminants found in the 

environment. IRIS currently provides 

information on health effects associated 

with more than 500 chemical 

substances. The database includes 

substance-specific summaries of 

qualitative and quantitative health 

information in support of the first two 

steps of the risk assessment process, i.e., 

hazard identification and dose-response 

evaluation. Also, IRIS has included 

detailed Toxicological Reviews as 

support documents since 1995. 

Government and private entities use 

IRIS, combined with specific exposure 

information, to help characterize public 

health risks of chemical substances in a 

site-specific situation and thereby 

support risk management decisions 

designed to protect public health. IRIS 

is prepared and maintained by the 

EPA’s National Center for 

Environmental Assessment within the 

Office of Research and Development. 

While separate from the regular IRIS 

program, the IRIS Update Project draws 

on the IRIS data base as the source of 

human health assessments in need of 

update. The purpose of the IRIS Update 

Project is to replace existing IRIS 

assessment toxicity values and their 

supporting information that are more 

than 10 years old with new and relevant 

scientific information on health effects. 

As updated assessments are completed 

as part of this process, they will be 

posted on IRIS. 

The IRIS Update Project defines 

‘‘assessment’’ as an individual IRIS 

toxicity value along with its supporting 

information. For example, the Project 

identifies the values for an oral RfD, an 

inhalation RfC, and a cancer evaluation 

along with supporting information, as 

three assessments. Certain IRIS entries, 

however, may contain values that do not 

qualify for the update process. For 

example, a particular substance with an 

oral RfD derived 15 years ago would 

qualify for the update process, but a
