Short
Characterization/
Abstract
EPA
issued
a
final
guideline
for
the
TEC
point
source
category
on
August
14,
2000.
This
final
rule
included
a
regulatory
compliance
option
which
allows
certain
facilities
to
develop
a
Pollutant
Management
Plan
in
lieu
of
meeting
numeric
standards.
Facilities
have
the
option
to
develop
this
plan
if
it
would
be
a
more
beneficial
compliance
alternative.
The
Pollutant
Management
Plan
is
only
available
for
PSES
and
PSNS
in
Subparts
A
and
B
of
the
TEC
regulation,
representing
a
potential
total
of
316
facilities.
Facilities
opting
to
comply
with
the
PMP
have
until
August
14,
2003
to
comply
with
the
regulations.

The
Pollutant
Management
Plan
includes
requirements
for
record
keeping
and
paperwork
that
were
not
previously
included
in
the
burden
estimate
for
the
TEC
industry.
This
new
Information
Collection
Request
(
ICR)
presents
estimates
of
the
burden
hours
and
costs
to
the
regulated
community
and
pretreatment
authorities
for
data
collection
and
recordkeeping
associated
with
implementing
the
pollution
prevention
compliance
option.

The
PMP
is
an
effective
alternative
method
of
reducing
pollutant
discharges
from
indirect
dischargers
in
Subparts
A
and
B
(
facilities
that
clean
tank
trucks,
intermodal
tank
containers,
and
rail
tank
cars
transporting
chemical
and
petroleum
cargos).
The
PMP
contains
10
components
that
must
be
considered
and
addressed
when
developing
the
Plan.
These
components
require
facilities
to
identify
and
segregate
incompatible
waste
streams
which
may
include
heels,
prerinse
or
prestream
wastewater,
and
spent
cleaning
solutions
from
wastewater
discharged
to
the
POTW.
The
PMP
also
requires
provisions
for
recycling
or
reuse
of
incompatible
waste
streams
and
for
minimizing
the
use
of
toxic
cleaning
agents.
Data
collection
and
recordkeeping
requirements
under
the
pollution
prevention
compliance
option
include
preparing
the
PMP
and
maintaining
records
to
demonstrate
compliance
with
the
procedures
and
provisions
of
the
PMP.
Records
will
be
stored
on
site,
and
there
are
no
reporting
requirements.

NEED
FOR
AND
USE
OF
THE
COLLECTION
2(
a)
Need/
Authority
for
the
Collection
EPA
is
providing
an
alternative
pollution
prevention
compliance
option
to
reduce
pollutant
discharges
from
indirect
dischargers
in
Subparts
A
and
B
(
facilities
that
clean
tank
trucks,
intermodal
tank
containers,
and
rail
tank
cars
transporting
chemical
and
petroleum
cargos).

The
Transportation
Equipment
Cleaning
Effluent
Limitations
Guidelines
and
Standards
were
promulgated
under
the
authority
of
Sections
301,
304,
306,
307,
308,
402,
and
501
of
the
Clean
Water
Act,
33
U.
S.
C.
1311,
1314,
1316,
1317,
1342,
and
1361.

2(
b)
Practical
Utility/
Users
of
the
Data
The
primary
users
of
the
PMP
and
information
generated
as
required
by
the
PMPs
will
be
the
owners
and
operators
of
Subpart
A
and
B
facilities
that
choose
the
pollution
prevention
compliance
option.
These
data
will
be
used
to
demonstrate
compliance
with
the
regulation.

EPA
expects
that
the
PMP
and
recordkeeping
required
by
the
PMP
will
be
used
by
pretreatment
authorities
to
determine
compliance
with
the
procedures
and
provisions
required
by
the
PMP.

NONDUPLICATION,
CONSULTATIONS,
AND
OTHER
COLLECTION
CRITERIA
3(
a)
Nonduplication
EPA
has
examined
all
other
reporting
requirements
contained
in
the
Clean
Water
Act
and
40
CFR
Parts
122,
123,
124,
125,
501,
and
503.
The
Agency
has
also
consulted
other
sources
of
information
to
determine
if
similar
or
duplicative
information
is
available
elsewhere.
These
examinations
have
revealed
no
duplicative
reporting
requirements.

3(
b)
Public
Notice
Required
Prior
to
ICR
Submission
to
OMB
EPA
is
amending
the
table
of
currently
approved
information
collection
request
(
ICR)
control
numbers
issued
by
OMB
for
various
regulations.
The
amendment
updates
the
table
to
list
those
information
collection
requirements
promulgated
under
the
Effluent
Limitations
Guidelines,
Pretreatment
Standards,
and
New
Source
Performance
Standards
for
the
Transportation
Equipment
Cleaning
Point
Source
Category,
which
appeared
in
the
Federal
Register
on
August
14,
2000
(
65
FR
4966).
The
affected
regulations
are
codified
at
40
CFR
parts
442.15,
442.16,
442.25,
and
442.26.
EPA
will
continue
to
present
OMB
control
numbers
in
a
consolidated
table
format
to
be
codified
in
40
CFR
part
9
of
the
Agency's
regulations,
and
in
each
CFR
volume
3
containing
EPA
regulations.
The
table
lists
CFR
citations
with
reporting,
recordkeeping,
or
other
information
collection
requirements,
and
the
current
OMB
control
numbers.
This
listing
of
the
OMB
control
numbers
and
their
subsequent
codification
in
the
CFR
satisfies
the
requirements
of
the
Paperwork
Reduction
Act
(
44
U.
S.
C.
3501
et
seq.)
and
OMB's
implementing
regulations
at
5
CFR
part
1320.
This
ICR
was
previously
subject
to
public
notice
and
comment
prior
to
OMB
approval.
Due
to
the
technical
nature
of
the
table,
EPA
finds
that
further
notice
and
comment
is
unnecessary.
As
a
result,
EPA
finds
that
there
is
"
good
cause"
under
section
553(
b)(
B)
of
the
Administrative
Procedure
Act,
5
U.
S.
C.
553(
b)(
B),
to
amend
this
table
without
prior
notice
and
comment.

3(
c)
Consultations
During
Interagency
review
for
the
final
TEC
guidelines,
EPA
discussed
the
pollution
prevention
alternative
with
the
Office
of
Management
and
Budget,
the
Small
Business
Administration
Office
of
Advocacy,
and
industry
stakeholders
who
supported
promulgation
of
PMP.
The
Association
of
Metropolitan
Sewerage
Agencies
has
also
indicated
its
support
for
effective
pollution
prevention
practices
as
an
alternative
to
numeric
limits
for
Subpart
A
and
B
facilities.

3(
d)
Effects
of
Less
Frequent
Collection
Data
collection
frequency
will
specified
in
each
site­
specific
PMP.
Facilities
must
provide
information
on
cleaning
agents
used
and
must
maintain
appropriate
records
of
heel
management
procedures,
prerinse/
presteam
management
procedures,
cleaning
agent
management
procedures,
operator
training,
and
proper
operation
and
maintenance
of
any
pretreatment
system.

Some
facilities
do
not
use
chemical
cleaning
agents
and
do
not
clean
tanks
or
containers
that
last
contained
cargos
which
are
likely
to
result
in
discharges
of
pollutants
that
would
be
incompatible
with
treatment
at
a
POTW.
These
facilities
will
have
minimal,

In
contrast,
other

routinely
clean

that
last
contained

which
are
likely
to

in
discharges
of
pollutants
that
would
be
incompatible
with
treatment
at
a

Site­

PMPs
prepared
by
these
facilities
will
likely
require
collection
of
daily

use
and
incompatible

management
information.
Because
these
facilities
can
and
do
generate
incompatible
waste
streams
at
any
time,
less
frequent

would
not
provide
the

Central
to
the
pollution
prevention
compliance
option
is
the
preparation
and
implementation
of
a
PMP.
The
PMP
is
intended
to
contain
the
procedures
and
provisions
the
facility
will
implement
to
reduce
pollutant
discharges
and
prevent
pass
through,
interference,
and
sludge
contamination
at
POTWs.
The
PMP
will
be
enforceable,
meaning
it
will
be
included
in
the
facility's
individual
control
mechanism
or
POTW
permit.
Owners
and
operators
will
keep
a
copy
of
the
PMP
on
site
to
demonstrate
compliance
with
the
rule.

According
to
40
CFR
442,
the
PMP
(
Plan)
will
include
the
following
components:

(

THE
INFORMATION
COLLECTED:
AGENCY
ACTIVITIES,
COLLECTION
METHODOLOGY,
AND
INFORMATION
MANAGEMENT
5(
a)
Agency
Activities
The
owner
or
operator
retains
essentially
all
of
the
information
generated
and
provides
only
the
statement
of
intent
and
PMP
to
the
pretreatment
authority;
there
are
no
additional
reporting
requirements.
Agency
activities
associated
with
the
pollution
prevention
compliance
option
are
therefore
limited
to
review
and
incorporation
of
the
PMP
into
the
facility's
individual
control
mechanism
or
POTW
permit,
and
compliance
reviews.
8
5(
b)
Collection
Methodology
and
Management
The
pretreatment
authority
will
review
the
PMP
and
will
retain
the
authority
to
recommend
additional
or
incremental
procedures
as
necessary
to
prevent
pass
through,
interference,
and
sludge
contamination
at
POTWs
and
to
ensure
that
implementation
of
the
PMP
is
consistent
with
Clean
Water
Act
requirements.

5(
c)
Small
Entity
Flexibility
Pursuant
to
Section
605(
b)
of
the
Regulatory
Flexibility
Act,
the
EPA
Administrator
certifies
that
this
rule
will
not
have
a
significant
economic
impact
on
a
substantial
number
of
small
entities.
The
number
of
small
businesses
affected
by
the
rule
is
relatively
low
and
the
impact
is
modest
for
most
of
the
affected
small
businesses.

a
responsible
corporate
officer.

Reading
the
portions
of
the
regulations
and
supporting
documents
specific
to
the
pollution
prevention
compliance
option
requires
an
estimated
2
hours
for

requires
an
estimated
1
hour
for
a
corporate
officer,
1
hour
for
legal
council,
and
1
hour
for
a
clerk.
Burden
estimates
for
these
activities
are
a
one­
time
initial
burden;
therefore,
these
estimates
are
divided
by
three
for
use
in
Table

to
provide
an
average

Prepare
and
submit
a
PMP
Those
owners
or
operators
that
choose
the
pollution
prevention
compliance
option
will
need
to
prepare
and
submit
a
PMP.
This
is
a
one­
time
initial
burden.

This
activity
requires
an
estimated
66.5
hours
for
an
manager
review
available
cargo
identification
records,
meet
with
POTW
representatives
to
learn
incompatible
pollutants,
and
write
the
ten
components
of
the
PMP.
This
estimate
represents
an
average
facility
burden
with
owners
and
operators
that
choose
to
operate
end­
of­
pipe
wastewater
treatment
of
incompatible
wastes
requiring
higher
than
average
burden
and
those
that
choose
not
to
operate
end­
of­
pipe
wastewater
treatment
of
incompatible
wastes
requiring
lower
than
average
burden.
An
estimated
25%
of
owners
or
operators
are
expected
to
choose
to
operate
end­
of­
pipe
wastewater
treatment
of
incompatible
wastes.
Internal
review
of
the
draft
PMP
will
require
2
hours
for
a
corporate
officer
and
2
hours
for
legal
council.
Preparation
and
submittal
of
the
final
PMP
will
requires
4
hours
for
a
clerk.

(

Collect
information
and
maintain
records
Components
(
ix)
and
(
x)
of
the
PMP
will
specify
information
collection
and
recordkeeping
to
demonstrate
compliance
with
the
procedures
and
provisions
required
by
the
PMP.
Recordkeeping
is
assumed
to
include
the
maintenance
of
the
following
operating
logs:
cleaning
agents
use,
heel
management,
prerinse/
presteam
management,
spent
cleaning
agent
management,
wastewater
treatment
system
operation,
wastewater
treatment
system
maintenance
and
repair,
and
wastewater
treatment
system
inspection.

An
estimated
16
hours
for
a
manager
are
required
to
design
the
format
and
content
of
the
information
log
sheets.
This
is
a
one­
time
initial
burden.

Information
collection
and
record
maintenance
are
recurring
activities
assumed
to
be
performed
by
equipment
operators.
An
estimated
2
hours
per
month
are
required
to
collect
information
and
maintain
records
for
cleaning
agents
use.
An
estimated
one­
half
hour
per
day
is
required
to
collect
information
and
maintain
records
for
heel
management,
prerinse/
presteam
11
management,
and
spent
cleaning
agent
management.
This
estimate
assumes
that
20%
of
tanks
cleaned
at
an
average
facility
last
contained
cargos
that
would
cause
or
contribute
to
a
discharge
that
would
be
incompatible
with
treatment
at
the
POTW.
Finally,
an
estimated
one­
half
hour
per
day
is
required
to
collect
information
and
maintain
records
for
wastewater
treatment
for
the
estimated
25%
of
owners
or
operators
that
choose
to
operate
end­
of­
pipe
wastewater
treatment
of
incompatible
wastes.

(

Perform
operator
training
Owners
or
operators
will
prepare
and
perform
operator
training
on
the
data
collection
and
recordkeeping
specified
in

the
training,
and
an
additional
2
hours
per
year
for
a

Estimating
Respondent
Costs
(

Estimating
Labor
Costs
Labor
costs
presented
in
Table
1
were
estimated
by
multiplying
the
estimated
burden
(
hours)
by
labor
rates
for
corporate
officer,
legal,
manager,
operator,
and
clerical.
The
labor
rate
for
an
operator
was
obtained
from
the
TEC
cost
model
used
to
estimate
compliance
costs
for
the
promulgated
rule,
after
adjusting
the
rate
to
2000
using
the
Chemical
Engineering
Plant
Cost
Index.
Labor
rates
for
the
remaining
categories
were
obtained
from
the
Bureau
of
Labor
Statistics
(
BLS).
Specifically,
rates
are
based
on
the
BLS
average
hourly
earnings
for
private
industry
(
Source:
National
Compensation
Survey:
Occupational
Wages
in
the
United
States,
1998)
increased
by
30
percent
to
account
for
benefits,
and
then
adjusted
to
2000
using
the
BLS
Employment
Cost
Index.
Labor
rates
used
to
estimate
labor
costs
are
summarized
below:

Corporate
officer
­
$
67.71
per
hour;

Legal
­
$
59.78
per
hour;

Manager
­
$
34.46
per
hour;

Operator
­
$
27.66
per
hour;
and

Clerical
­
$
18.99
per
hour.

costs
are
required
for
each

Estimating
Agency
Burden
and
Cost
Table
2
presents
estimates
of
the
Agency
burdens
for
labor
hours
and
costs
associated
with
this
ICR.
EPA
estimates
a
burden
to
state
pretreatment
authorities
of
10
hours
per
facility
to
review
and
incorporate
the
PMP
into
the
facility's
individual
control
mechanism
or
POTW
permit.
This
is
a
one­
time
initial
burden.
EPA
estimates
an
additional
pretreatment
authority
burden
of
2
hours
per
year
to
perform
periodic
(
e.
g.,
annual
or
semi­
annual)
compliance
reviews.

U.
S.
Department
of
Labor
average
annual
salary
for
state
and
local
employees
is
$
41,185.
At
2,080
available
labor
hours
per
year,
the
hourly
rate
is
$
19.80.
Overhead
costs
for
state
and
local
employees
are
estimated
to
be
60%
(
EPA
ICR
Handbook),
or
$
11.88
per
hour,
which
results
in
a
total
hourly
rate
of
$
31.68
per
hour.

Estimating
the
Respondent
Universe
and
Total
Burden
and
Costs
The
regulated
community
includes
approximately
286
indirect
discharging
facilities
in
Subpart
A
and
30
indirect
discharging
facilities
in
Subpart
B.
EPA
assumes
that
all
regulated
facilities
will
evaluate
the
alternative
pollution
prevention
compliance
option
to
determine
whether
it
would
be
less
costly
that
complying
with
numerical
limits.
Based
on
discussions
with
industry
stakeholders
and
pretreatment
authorities,
EPA
assumes
that
25%
of
these
facilities
will
select
the
pollution
prevention
compliance
option.

Burden
Statement
For
the
TEC
pollution
prevention
compliance
option,
the
burden
is
estimated
to
average
240.3
hours
per
respondent
per
year.
This
estimate
includes
time
for
preparing
and
submitting
the
statement
of
intent,
preparing
and
submitting
the
PMP,
collecting
information
and
recordkeeping,
and
operator
training.
Agency
burden
is
estimated
to
average
5.3
hours
per
respondent
per
year.
This
estimate
includes
time
to
review
and
incorporate
the
PMP
into
the
facility's
individual
control
mechanism
or
POTW
permit
and
to
perform
compliance
reviews.

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

the
information.

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.
