Federal Register / Vol. 66, No. 245 / Thursday, December 20, 2001 / Notices 65707

Title: Federal Plan Recordkeeping and

Reporting Requirements for Large

Municipal Waste Combustors

Constructed on or before September 20,

1994 (subpart FFF); OMB Control

Number 2060–0390, EPA ICR Number

1847.02, expiration date December 31,

2001. This is a renewal notice.

Abstract: This information collection

is required as a result of a Federal plan

to implement and enforce the Clean Air

Act (CAA) emission guidelines (40 CFR

part 60, subpart Cb) for large municipal

waste combustors (MWC’s) that were

promulgated under the authority of

CAA sections 111 and 129. The

emission guidelines are not federally

enforceable. Under the CAA section

129(b)(2), States were required to submit

State plans to the Environmental

Protection Agency (EPA) for approval by

December 19, 1996 that implement and

enforce the guidelines. Section 129(b)(3)

requires EPA to promulgate a Federal

plan to implement and enforce the

guidelines in those States that have not

submitted an approvable plan to EPA by

December 19, 1997. Reporting and

recordkeeping requirements would

apply to MWC units with capacities to

combust greater than 250 tons per day

(tpd) (large MWC’s). The EPA Regional

Offices will collect the required

information (after promulgation of the

MWC Federal plan) to ensure that the

subpart FFF Federal plan is being

implemented and enforced for affected

facilities in States that have not

submitted an approvable State plan by

December 19, 1997.

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 are listed

in 40 CFR part 9 and 48 CFR Chapter

15. Respondents are owners or operators

of municipal waste combustors with a

capacity to combust greater than 250

tons per day located in States that do

not have EPA-approved State plans. All

respondents must submit notification of

five increments of progress and

emission rates. The information will be

used to ensure that the MWC Federal

plan requirements are being achieved on

a continuous basis. 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 are listed in 40 CFR part 9

and 48 CFR Chapter 15. The Federal

Register document required under 5

CFR 1320.8(d), soliciting comments on

this collection of information was

published on August 17, 2001. A

comment was received from Mark

Strohfus, Great River Energy, 17845 E.

Hwy 10, PO Box 800 Elk River, MN

55330–0800.

reporting and recordkeeping burden for

this collection of information is

time needed to review instructions;

develop, acquire, install, and utilize

technology and systems for the purposes

of collecting, validating, and verifying

information, processing and

methods in their air monitoring

networks to determine compliance with

the national ambient air quality

65708 Federal Register / Vol. 66, No. 245 / Thursday, December 20, 2001 / Notices

standards (NAAQS). A manufacturer or

seller of an air monitoring method (more

specifically, an air monitoring sampler

or analyzer that is the basis of the

method) which seeks EPA designation

of the method must carry out prescribed

tests of the method. The test results

along with other information must then

be submitted to the EPA in the form of

an application for a reference or

equivalent method determination in

accordance with 40 CFR part 53. The

EPA uses this information to determine

whether the particular method should

be designated as either a reference or

equivalent method. After designation of

a method, the applicant must also

maintain records of the names and

mailing addresses of all ultimate

purchasers of all analyzers or samplers

sold as designated methods under the

method designation. Following

designation of a method for PM2.5, the

applicant must also maintain its

manufacturing facility as a ISO 0991-

registered facility and annually submit a

checklist signed by an ISO-certified

auditor to verify adherence to specific

quality assurance requirements in the

manufacture of the samplers or

analyzers sold as part of a designated

method.

Responses to the collection of

information are voluntary but are

required to obtain the benefit of EPAdesignation of a method or product as

a reference or equivalent method (40

CFR part 53). Submission of information

that is claimed by the applicant to be

confidential business information may

be necessary to make a reference or

equivalent method determination. The

confidentiality of any submitted

information identified as such will be

protected in full accordance with 40

CFR 53.15 and all applicable provisions

of 40 CFR part 2.

An agency may not conduct or

sponsor, and a person is not required to
