Title:
NSPS
for
Lead­
Acid
Battery
Manufacturing
(
40
CFR
part
60,
subpart
KK)
(
Renewal)
(
OMB
Control
Number
2060
 
0081,
EPA
ICR
Number
1072.07).
This
is
a
request
to
renew
an
existing
approved
collection
that
is
scheduled
to
expire
on
June
30,
2003.
Under
OMB
regulations,
the
Agency
may
continue
to
conduct
or
sponsor
the
collection
of
information
while
this
submission
is
pending
at
OMB.
Abstract:
The
New
Source
Performance
Standards
(
NSPS)
for
the
regulations
published
at
40
CFR
part
60,
subpart
KK,
were
proposed
on
January
14,
1980,
and
promulgated
on
April
16,
1982.
These
regulations
apply
to
the
following
affected
facilities
in
lead­
acid
battery
manufacturing
plants
with
production
capacity
that
is
equal
to
or
exceeds
6.5
tons
of
lead:
Grid
casting
facilities,
paste
mixing
facilities,
threeprocess
operation
facilities,
lead­
oxide
manufacturing
facilities,
lead
reclamation
facilities,
and
other
leademitting
operations,
commencing
construction,
modification,
or
reconstruction
after
the
date
of
proposal.
This
information
is
being
collected
to
assure
compliance
with
40
CFR
part
60,
subpart
KK.
In
general,
all
NSPS
standards
require
initial
notifications,
performance
tests,
and
periodic
reports
if
using
continuous
emissions
monitoring
systems
(
CEMS).
Owners
or
operators
are
also
required
to
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
system
is
inoperative.
These
notifications,
reports,
and
records
are
essential
in
determining
compliance,
and
are
required
of
all
sources
subject
to
NSPS.
Any
owner
or
operator
subject
to
the
provisions
of
this
part
shall
maintain
a
file
of
these
measurements,
and
retain
the
file
for
at
least
two
years
following
the
date
of
such
measurements,
maintenance
reports,
and
records.
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,
and
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
62
hours
(
rounded)
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

Number
of
Respondents:

Frequency
of
Response:
Initial

if

Estimated
Total
Annual
Hour
Burden:
4,053
hours
(
rounded).
Estimated
Total
Capital
and
Operations
&
Maintenance
(
O
&
M)
Annual
Costs:
$
11,700
which
includes
no
annualized
capital/
startup
costs.
Changes
in
the
Estimates:
There
is
an
increase
of
3,930
hours
in
the
total
estimated
burden
currently
identified
in
the
OMB
Inventory
of
Approved
ICR
Burdens.
The
net
increase
in
labor
burden
from
the
most
recently
approved
ICR
is
due
to
the
inclusion
of
monitoring
and
recordkeeping
requirements
for
sources
using
scrubbing
systems
in
the
burden
calculation
which
had
been
omitted.
We
have
determined
that
25
percent
of
the
sources
(
i.
e.,
13
sources)
would
be
required
to
monitor
and
record
pressure
drop
across
the
scrubbing
systems
every
15
minutes.
The
inclusion
of
these
rule
requirements
resulted
in
a
significant
net
increase
in
labor
hours
even
when
the
number
of
sources
significantly
decreased
(
i.
e.,
from
82
to
52)
from
the
most
recently
approved
ICR.
The
decrease
in
the
number
of
sources
did
not
affect
the
labor
hours
significantly
because
no
periodic
reports
are
required
for
existing
sources.
However,
the
decrease
in
the
number
of
sources
had
a
net
decrease
on
the
operation
and
maintenance
costs
associated
with
continuous
monitoring
devices
when
compared
to
the
most
recently
approved
ICR.

AGENCY:
Environmental

Agency
(
EPA).
ACTION:
Notice.

SUMMARY:
This
notice
announces
the
availability
of
documents
that
were
developed
as
part
of
EPA's
process
for
making
pesticide
reregistration
eligibility
decisions
under
the
Federal
Insecticide,
Fungicide,
and
Rodenticide
Act
(
FIFRA).
These
documents
are
the
occupational
and
ecological
risk
assessments
and
related
documents
for
imazalil.
This
notice
also
starts
a
60
 
day
public
comment
period
for
the
risk
assessments.
Comments
are
to
be
limited
to
issues
directly
associated
with
imazalil
and
raised
by
the
occupational
and
ecological
risk
assessments
or
other
documents
placed
in
the
docket.
By
allowing
access
and
opportunity
for
comments
on
the
risk
assessments,
EPA
is
seeking
to
strengthen
stakeholder
involvement
and
help
ensure
that
our
decisions
under
FIFRA
are
transparent
and
based
on
the
best
available
information.
The
Agency
cautions
that
the
risk
assessments
for
imazalil
are
revised;
however,
further
refinements
may
be
appropriate.
Risk
assessments
reflect
only
the
work
and
analysis
conducted
as
of
the
time
they
were
produced
and
it
is
appropriate
that,
as
new
information
becomes
available
and/
or
additional
analyses
are
performed,
the
conclusions
they
contain
may
change.
