On May 30, 2008 (73                     *FR*                     31088), EPA sought comments on this ICR pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.8(d). EPA received no comments. Any additional comments on this ICR should be submitted to EPA and OMB within 30 days of this notice.                

                    EPA has established a public docket for this ICR under docket ID number EPA-HQ-OECA-2008-0281, which is available for public viewing online at                     *http://www.regulations.gov*                     and in person viewing at the Enforcement and Compliance Docket in the EPA Docket Center (EPA/DC), EPA West, Room 3334, 1301 Constitution Avenue, NW., Washington, DC.

*Title:*                     NESHAP for Publicly Owned Treatment Works (Renewal).                

*ICR Numbers:*                     EPA ICR Number 1891.05, OMB Control Number 2060-0428.                

*ICR Status:*                     This ICR is schedule to expire on August 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:*                     The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Publicly Owned Treatment Works were proposed on December 1, 1998 and promulgated on October 26, 1999. These regulations apply to owners or operators of waste treatment processes and operations in the publicly owned treatment works (POTW) source category.                

All new sources must be in compliance with subpart VVV upon startup or the promulgation date, whichever is later. Owners and operators of affected sources are subject to the requirements of 40 CFR part 63, subpart A, the General Provisions, unless the regulation specifies otherwise. New sources constructed or reconstructed after the effected date of the standard are required to submit an application for approval of construction or reconstruction.

Generally, respondents are required to submit one-time reports of: (1) Start of construction of new facilities, and (2) anticipated and actual startup dates for new facilities. The subpart also requires new affected sources to submit a notification of compliance status.

Emission and control requirements for “existing” industrial POTWs are specified by the appropriate NESHAP for the industrial user. In addition, there are no control requirements for “existing” non-industrial POTW treatment plants. Therefore, there are no subpart VVV recordkeeping or reporting requirements for “existing” sources covered by this ICR.

Any owner or operator subject to the provisions of this subpart must maintain a file of these measurements, and retain the file for at least five years following the collection 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.

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 regulations listed in 40 CFR part 9 and 48 CFR chapter 15 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 one hour 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:*                     Publicly owned treatment works.                

*Estimated Number of Respondents:*                     6.                

*Frequency of Response:*                     On occasion, initially, semiannually and annually.                

*Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:*                     14.                

*Estimated Total Annual Cost:*                     $1,114.06 in labor costs exclusively. There are neither capital/startup nor operation and maintenance costs.                

*Changes in the Estimates:*                     There is no change in the total estimated burden currently identified in the OMB inventory of Approved ICR Burdens. This is due to two considerations: (1)                           ( print page 32155)                        The regulations have not changed over the past three years and are not anticipated to change over the next three years; and (2) the current growth rate for the industry is very low, negative or nonexistent, so there is no significant change in the overall burden.
