AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency has submitted an 
information collection request (ICR), ``NESHAP for Beryllium (40 CFR 
Part 61, Subpart C) (Renewal)'' (EPA ICR No. 0193.11, OMB Control No. 
2060-0092), to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and

during a 60-day comment period. This notice allows for an additional 30 
days for public comments. A fuller description of the ICR is given 
below, including its estimated burden and cost to the public. 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.

    Abstract: The sources subject to this rule (i.e., extraction 
plants, ceramic plants, foundries, incinerators, propellant plants, and 
machine shops which process beryllium and its derivatives), complying 
with the onetime only stack test, would be required to submit initial 
notification reports and a one-time-only report with the emission limit 
determination. The sources complying with the alternative ambient air 
quality limit by operating a continuous monitor in the vicinity of the 
affected facility are required to submit a monthly report of all 
measured concentrations. Records shall be retained for two years.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Sources processing beryllium ore, 
beryllium, beryllium oxides, beryllium alloys, or beryllium-containing 
waste.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 61, 
subpart C).
    Estimated number of respondents: 33 (total).
    Frequency of response: Monthly and occasionally.
    Total estimated burden: 2,629 hours (per year). ``Burden'' is 
defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $292,208 (per year), includes $35,000 in 
either annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is an apparent increase of two 
hours in the total estimated respondent burden as currently identified 
in the OMB Inventory of Approved Burdens. This increase is due to 
rounding, and is not due to any program changes. The most-recently 
approved ICR rounded the burden hours associated with recordkeeping for 
operating parameters and emissions to the nearest whole number. In 
contrast, burden hours are rounded to two decimal places in this ICR, 
resulting in an apparent increase of two hours.
    There is an increase in the respondent cost from the most recently-
approved ICR due to the use of updated labor rates. This ICR references 
labor rates from the Bureau of Labor Statistics to calculate the 
respondent burden cost.
