b)
Short
Characterization
This
renewal
request
is
for
continued
collection
of
information
from
various
source
categories.
The
information
to
be
collected
is
non­
statistical
in
nature
and,
therefore,
only
Part
A
of
the
supporting
statement
requesting
for
OMB
approval
under
the
Paperwork
Reduction
Act
and
5
CFR
1320
is
addressed
below.

On
February
15,
2005
(
70
FR
7732),
EPA
requested
comments
on
specific
aspects
of
this
ICR,
with
the
comment
period
closing
on
April
18,
2005.
By
this
deadline,
there
were
no
comments
received
from
affected
entities
or
the
general
public.

On
December
15,
1989,
pursuant
to
Section
112
of
the
Clean
Air
Act
as
amended
in
1977
(
42
USC
1857),
the
Environmental
Protection
Agency
(
EPA)
promulgated
NESHAPs
to
control
radionuclide
emissions
from
several
source
categories.
The
regulations
were
published
in
54
FR
51653,
and
are
codified
at
40
CFR
subparts
B,
K,
R,
and
W,
and
impose
the
following
radionuclide
dose
and
emission
standards:

Originally
there
were
seven
subparts
 
B,
H,
I,
K,
R,
T
and
W­­
that
were
published
in
the
December
15,
1989
Federal
Register
(
54
FR
51653).
Since
the
1989
notice,
subparts
I
and
T
are
no
longer
regulated
by
EPA.
Due
to
petitions
for
reconsideration,
EPA
rescinded
subpart
T
as
it
applies
to
owners
and
operators
or
uranium
mill
tailings
disposal
sites
licensed
by
NRC
or
an
affected
Agreement
State
on
July
15,
1994,
59
FR
36280.
Subpart
I
as
it
applies
to
NRC­
licensed
facilities
was
rescinded
on
December
30,
1996,
61
FR
68971
because
in
the
1990
Clean
Air
Act
amendments,
Congress
directed
EPA
to
stop
regulating
radionuclide
emissions
from
NRC
licensed
facilities
if
EPA
determines
that
the
NRC
regulatory
program
protects
the
public
health
with
an
ample
margin
of
safety.
After
careful
review,
EPA
determined
that
public
health
would
be
protected
with
an
ample
margin
of
safety
by
NRC's
program.
Subpart
H
does
not
require
an
ICR
because
it
covers
Federal
facilities
that
are
not
subject
to
the
Paperwork
Reduction
Act.
The
existing
subpart
I
of
the
radionuclide
NESHAP
now
only
applies
to
non­
DOE
federal
facilities
not
licensed
by
NRC.
The
non­
DOE
federal
facilities
not
licensed
by
NRC,
namely,
DoD
facilities,

are
expected
to
have
emissions
below
1%
of
the
standards
and
are
therefore
not
subject
to
the
reporting
requirements.

Information
collected
is
used
by
EPA
to
ensure
that
public
health
continues
to
be
protected
from
the
hazards
of
airborne
radionuclides
by
compliance
with
these
standards.
If
the
information
were
not
collected,
it
is
unlikely
that
a
violation
of
these
standards
would
be
identified
and,
thus,
there
would
be
no
corrective
action
initiated
to
bring
the
facilities
back
into
compliance.

Compliance
is
demonstrated
through
emission
testing
and/
or
dose
calculation.
All
facilities
are
3
required
to
calculate,
monitor,
and
maintain
their
records
for
5
years.
The
rationale
for
the
5
year
record
keeping
requirement
is
from
the
Code
of
Federal
Regulations
(
CFR),
40
CFR
part
61,

Section
61.95.
In
some
cases,
they
also
report
their
results
to
EPA.

NEED
FOR
AND
USE
OF
THE
COLLECTION
(
a)
Need/
Authority
for
the
Collection
In
the
context
of
the
Clean
Air
Act
(
42
USC
1857),
Section
114
authorizes
the
Administrator
of
EPA
to
require
any
person
who
owns
or
operates
any
emission
source
or
who
is
subject
to
any
requirements
of
the
Act
to:

­
Establish
and
maintain
records
­
Make
reports,
install,
use,
and
maintain
monitoring
equipment
or
method
­
Sample
emissions
in
accordance
with
EPA­
prescribed
locations,
intervals
and
methods
­
Provide
information
as
may
be
requested
(
b)
Practical
Utility/
Users
EPA's
regional
offices
use
the
information
collected
to
ensure
that
public
health
continues
to
be
protected
from
the
hazards
of
radionuclides
by
compliance
with
health
based
standards.

EPA's
compliance
monitoring
activities
vary
widely.
EPA
could
issue
a
letter
requesting
information
about
compliance
or
could
conduct
a
full
scale
investigation,
including
on­
site
inspections.

When
EPA
first
learns
of
a
compliance
problem,
EPA
attempts
to
remedy
the
problem
by
holding
informal
discussions
with
the
owner/
operator
of
the
source.
If
it
is
not
possible
to
remedy
the
problem
informally,
formal
action
is
taken.
EPA's
Clean
Air
Act
Compliance
Enforcement
Guidance
Manual
identifies
the
Agency's
informal
and
formal
enforcement
operating
procedures.

For
record
keeping
requirements,
all
facilities
are
required
to
calculate,
monitor,
and
maintain
their
records
for
five
years
and
upon
request
be
made
available
for
inspection
by
the
Administrator,
or
his/
her
authorized
representative.
(
See
Table
W)

Record
Keeping
The
record
keeping
requirements
of
each
subpart
are
similar
and
have
been
summarized
in
the
paragraph
below.

The
owner
or
operator
of
the
facility
must
maintain
records
documenting
the
source
of
input
parameters
including
the
results
of
all
measurements
upon
which
they
are
based,
the
calculations
and/
or
analytical
methods
used
to
derive
values
for
input
parameters,
and
the
procedure
used
to
determine
compliance.
This
documentation
should
be
sufficient
to
allow
an
independent
auditor
to
verify
the
accuracy
of
the
determination
made
concerning
the
facility's
compliance
with
the
standard.
These
records
must
be
kept
at
the
mill
or
facility
for
at
least
five
years
and,
upon
request,
be
made
available
for
inspection
by
the
Administrator,
or
his/
her
12
authorized
representative.

THE
INFORMATION
COLLECTED
­­
AGENCY
ACTIVITIES,
COLLECTION
METHODOLOGY,
AND
INFORMATION
MANAGEMENT
(
a)
Agency
Activities
Information
being
collected
is
pursuant
to
Federal
regulation.
Agency
activities
consist
of
reviewing
owner
or
operator
test
reports
and
maintaining
files.

(
b)
Collection
Methodology
and
Management
The
Office
of
Radiation
and
Indoor
Air
and
the
EPA
regional
offices
have
planned
and
allocated
resources
for
the
efficient
and
effective
management
and
use
of
this
information.

Records
must
be
maintained
documenting
the
source
of
input
parameters
including
the
results
of
all
measurements
upon
which
they
are
based,
the
calculations
and/
or
analytical
methods
used
to
derive
values
for
input
parameters,
and
the
procedure
used
to
determine
effective
dose
equivalent.
This
documentation
should
be
sufficient
to
allow
an
independent
auditor
to
verify
the
accuracy
of
the
determination
made
concerning
the
facility's
compliance
with
the
standard.
These
records
must
be
kept
at
the
site
of
the
facility
for
at
least
five
years
and,
upon
request,
be
made
available
for
inspection
by
the
Administrator,
or
the
Administrator's
authorized
representative.

The
Agency
has
determined
that
the
annual
report
review
and
periodic
on
site
inspection
is
the
most
effective
method
to
insure
compliance.
EPA
regional
office
staff
review
facility
annual
reports
to
determine
if
compliance
with
the
regulatory
standards
are
being
maintained.

Verification
of
data
is
accomplished
by
recalculation
of
dose
using
computer
models
and
conducting
site
inspections
or
witnessing
an
emission
test.

(
c)
Small
Entity
Flexibility
13
None
of
the
regulations
covered
by
this
ICR
are
applicable
to
small
entities.

(
d)
Collection
Schedule
For
some
subparts,
annual
reports
are
required
to
provide
yearly
certification
of
compliance
with
a
health
based
standard;
therefore,
less
frequent
reporting
was
not
considered
an
option
to
reduce
burden
because
of
the
yearly
stipulation
in
the
rule.
However,
for
other
subparts
(
such
as
subpart
R),
it
was
determined
during
rulemaking
that
less
frequent
reports
were
adequate
to
protect
public
health.

5.
NONDUPLICATION,
CONSULTATIONS
AND
OTHER
COLLECTION
CRITERIA
(
a)
Nonduplication
In
accordance
with
40
CFR
part
61,
the
specific
information
requested
by
this
notice
is
not
currently
collected
by
any
other
office
within
EPA
or
any
other
governmental
agency.

(
b)
First
Federal
Notice
and
Consultations
On
February
15,
2005
(
70
FR
7732),
EPA
requested
comments
on
specific
aspects
of
this
ICR,
with
a
60
day
comment
period
which
closed
on
April
18,
2005.
Specifically,
there
were
no
comments
received
from
affected
entities
or
the
general
public
by
this
deadline.
In
developing
the
regulations,
EPA
gathered
extensive
background
information
on
the
affected
facilities.
In
addition
to
background
information
collected
from
the
regulated
sources,
public
comments
were
received
during
the
rulemaking
process
which
are
contained
in
the
public
docket.
Since
the
rules
were
promulgated,
there
have
been
opportunities
for
dialogue
between
EPA
and
affected
facilities
which
have
resulted
in
changes
to
the
rules,
memorandums
of
understanding,
and
rescissions.
In
preparing
this
request,
EPA
also
contacted
contractors,
EPA
and
facility
emission
monitoring
and
compliance
professionals.
As
a
result
of
these
consultations
and
the
provision
in
the
Clean
Air
14
Act
Amendments,
EPA
was
able
to
eliminate
duplication
of
effort
between
EPA
and
NRC
in
instances
where
EPA
determined
that
the
NRC
program
could
provide
protection
of
the
public
health
with
an
ample
margin
of
safety.

(
c)
Effects
of
Less
Frequent
Collection
All
reporting
is
annually
or
less
frequent
than
annually.

(
d)
General
Guidelines
This
ICR
does
meet
OMB's
collection
guidelines;
has
public
support
(
there
were
no
comments
received
during
the
comment
period
which
ended
April
18,
2005)
and
does
not
duplicate
another
collection.

(
e)
Confidentiality
and
Sensitive
Questions
i.
Confidentiality
This
section
does
not
apply
because
this
ICR
does
not
request
information
of
confidential
nature.

ii.
Sensitive
Questions
This
section
is
not
applicable
because
this
ICR
does
not
request
sensitive
information.

6.
BURDEN
AND
COST
OF
THE
COLLECTION
Burden
and
costs
estimates
have
been
calculated
separately
for
each
subpart.
Respondent
labor
rates
are
based
on
the
December
2004
data
in
Table
2
from
the
US
Department
of
Labor,

Bureau
of
Labor
Statistics
(
BLS).
These
rates
are
doubled
in
the
cost
estimate
to
include
overhead.
The
labor
key
is
as
follows:
Management
(
Mgmt)
($
86/
hr)
was
based
on
the
Total
Compensation
for
the
"
Management"
Occupational
Group
in
the
BLS
data.
Technical
(
Tech)
was
based
on
salary
for
a
GS­
13,
step
1
($
62/
hr)
because
a
suitable
occupational
group
was
not
shown
15
in
the
BLS
data.
Clerical
(
Cler)
($
42/
hr)
was
based
on
the
Total
Compensation
for
the
"
Office
and
Administrative
Support"
Occupational
Group
in
the
BLS
data.

The
tables
representing
each
subpart
are
listed
below
with
their
reporting
requirement
information.
(
Note:
Subpart
R
has
2
tables;
Table
1
represents
the
20
stacks
required
to
complete
a
one­
time
report
and
Table
2
represents
the
12
stacks
that
have
to
conduct
radon
flux
testing
every
year
when
phosphogypsum
is
removed
from
the
stacks.)
