2. Electronic Access. You may access this document electronically
through the EPA Internet under the ``Federal Register'' listings at
http://www.epa.gov/fedrgstr You may use EPA Dockets at http://www.epa.gov/edocket.
to submit or view public comments, access the index
listing of the contents of the official public docket, and to access
those documents in the public docket that are available electronically.
After entering the system, select ``search,'' then key in the docket
identification number.
Certain types of information will not be placed in the EPA Dockets.
Information claimed as CBI, and other information whose disclosure is
restricted by statute, which is not included in the official public
docket, will not be available for public viewing in EPA's electronic
public docket. EPA's policy is that copyrighted material will not be
placed in EPA's electronic public docket but will be available only in
printed, paper form in the official public docket. To the extent
feasible, publicly available docket materials will be made available in
EPA's electronic public docket. When a document is selected from the
index list in EPA Dockets, the system will identify whether the
document is available for viewing in EPA's electronic public docket.
Although not all docket materials may be available electronically, you
may still access any of the publicly available docket materials through
the docket facility identified in section I.A.1. EPA intends to work
towards providing electronic access to all of the publicly available
docket materials through EPA's electronic public docket.
For public commenters, it is important to note that EPA's policy is
that public comments, whether submitted electronically or in paper,
will be made available for public viewing in EPA's electronic public
docket as EPA receives them and without change, unless the comment
contains copyrighted material, CBI, or other information whose
disclosure is restricted by statute. When EPA identifies a comment
containing copyrighted material, EPA will provide a reference to that
material in the version of the comment that is placed in EPA's
electronic public docket. The entire printed comment, including the
copyrighted material, will be available in the public docket.
Public comments submitted on computer disks that are mailed or
delivered to the docket will be transferred to EPA's electronic public
docket. Public comments that are mailed or delivered to the Docket will
be scanned and placed in EPA's electronic public docket. Where
practical, physical objects will be photographed, and the photograph
will be placed in EPA's electronic public docket along with a brief
description written by the docket staff.
For additional information about EPA's electronic public docket,
visit EPA Dockets online or see 67 FR 38102, May 31, 2002.
B. How and to Whom Do I Submit Comments?
You may submit comments electronically, by mail, or through hand
delivery/courier service. To ensure proper receipt by EPA, identify the
appropriate docket identification number in the subject line on the
first page of your comment. Please ensure that your comments are
submitted within the specified comment period. Comments received after
the close of the comment period will be marked ``late.'' EPA is not
required to consider late comments in formulating a final decision. If
you wish to submit CBI or information that is otherwise protected by
statute, please follow the instructions in section I.C. Do not use EPA
Dockets or e-mail to submit CBI or information protected by statute.
1. Electronically. If you submit an electronic comment as
prescribed below, EPA recommends that you include your name, mailing
address, and an e-mail address or other contact information in the body
of your comment. Also include this contact information on the outside
of any disk or CD ROM you submit, and in any cover letter accompanying
the disk or CD ROM. This ensures that you can be identified as the
submitter of the comment and allows EPA to contact you in case EPA
cannot read your comment due to technical difficulties or needs further
information on the substance of your comment. EPA's policy is that EPA
will not edit your comment, and any identifying or contact information
provided in the body of a comment will be included as part of the
comment that is placed in the official public docket, and made
available in EPA's electronic public docket. If EPA cannot read your
comment due to technical difficulties and cannot contact you for
clarification, EPA may not be able to consider your comment.
i. EPA Dockets. Your use of EPA's electronic public docket to
submit comments to EPA electronically is EPA's preferred method for
receiving comments. Go directly to EPA Dockets at http://www.epa.gov/edocket
, and follow the online instructions for submitting comments. To
access EPA's electronic public docket from the EPA Internet Home Page,
select ``Information Sources,'' ``Dockets,'' and ``EPA Dockets.'' After
entering the system, select ``search,'' and then key in Docket ID
Number. The system is an ``anonymous access'' system, which means EPA
will not know your identity, e-mail address, or other contact
information unless you provide it in the body of your comment.
[[Page 29720]]
ii. E-mail. Comments may be sent by electronic mail (e-mail) to
docket.oeca@epa.gov. Provide the Docket ID Number when submitting your
comments. In contrast to EPA's electronic public docket, EPA's e-mail
system is not an ``anonymous access'' system. If you send an e-mail
comment directly to the Docket without going through EPA's electronic
public docket, EPA's e-mail system automatically captures your e-mail
address. E-mail addresses that are automatically captured by EPA's e-
mail system are included as part of the comment that is placed in the
official public docket, and made available in EPA's electronic public
docket.
iii. Disk or CD ROM. You may submit comments on a disk or CD ROM
that you mail to the mailing address identified in section I.A.1. These
electronic submissions will be accepted in WordPerfect or ASCII file
format. Avoid the use of special characters and any form of encryption.
2. By Mail. Send your comments to the EPA Docket Center using the
address provided in section I.A.1.; Attention: Docket ID Number
(provide number).
3. By Hand Delivery or Courier Service. Deliver your comments to
the address provided in section I.A.1.; Attention: Docket ID Number
(provide number). Such deliveries are only accepted during the Docket's
normal hours of operation as identified in section I.A.1.
C. How Should I Submit CBI to the Agency?
Do not submit information that you consider to be CBI
electronically through EPA's electronic public docket or by e-mail.
Send or deliver information identified as CBI only to the contact
individuals listed in section II.C.; Attention: Docket ID Number
(provide number). You may claim information that you submit to EPA as
CBI by marking any part or all of that information as CBI. If you
submit CBI on disk or CD ROM, mark the outside of the disk or CD ROM as
CBI, and then identify within the disk or CD ROM the specific
information that is CBI. Information so marked will not be disclosed
except in accordance with procedures set forth in 40 CFR part 2.
In addition to one complete version of the comment that includes
any information claimed as CBI, a copy of the comment that does not
contain the information claimed as CBI must be submitted for inclusion
in the public docket and EPA's electronic public docket. If you submit
the copy that does not contain CBI on disk or CD ROM, mark the outside
of the disk or CD ROM clearly that it does not contain CBI. Information
not marked as CBI will be included in the public docket and EPA's
electronic public docket without prior notice. If you have any
questions about CBI or the procedures for claiming CBI, please consult
the person identified under the section titled FOR FURTHER INFORMATION
CONTACT.
D. What Should I Consider as I Prepare My Comments for EPA?
You may find the following suggestions helpful for preparing your
comments:
(1) Explain your views as clearly as possible.
(2) Describe any assumptions that you used.
(3) Provide any technical information and/or data you used that
support your views.
(4) If you estimate potential burden or costs, explain how you
arrived at your estimate.
(5) Provide specific examples to illustrate your concerns.
(6) Offer alternatives.
(7) Make sure to submit your comments by the comment period
deadline identified.
(8) To ensure proper receipt by EPA, identify the appropriate
docket identification number in the subject line on the first page of
your response. It would also be helpful if you provided the name, date,
and Federal Register citation related to your comments.
E. In What Information Is EPA Particularly Interested?
Pursuant to section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA, EPA specifically
solicits comments and information to enable it to:
(1) Evaluate whether the proposed collections of information are
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the Agency,
including whether the information will have practical utility;
(2) Evaluate the accuracy of the Agency's estimates of the burdens
of the proposed collections of information;
(3) Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected;
(4) Minimize the burden of the collections of information on those
who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated
or electronic collection technologies or other forms of information
technology, e.g., permitting electronic submission of responses.
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 maintaining information, and
disclosing and providing information; adjust the existing ways to
comply with any previously applicable instructions and requirements;
train personnel to be able to respond to a collection of information;
search data sources; complete and review the collection of information;
and transmit or otherwise disclose the information.
II. ICRs To Be Renewed
A. For All ICRs
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
standards are displayed in 40 CFR Part 9.
These information collection requirements are mandatory.
Furthermore, the records required by New Source Performance Standards
(NSPS) must be retained by the owner or operator for at least two years
and records required by the National Emission Standards for Hazardous
Air Pollutants (NESHAP) must be retained by the owner or operator for
at least five years. In general, the required information consists of
emissions data and other information deemed not to be private.
In the absence of such information collection requirements,
enforcement personnel would be unable to determine whether the
standards are being met on a continuous basis, as required by the Clean
Air Act.
The Agency computed the burden for each of the recordkeeping and
reporting requirements applicable to the industry for the currently
approved Information Collection Requests (ICRs) listed in this notice.
Where applicable, the Agency identified specific tasks and made
assumptions, while being consistent with the concept of the Paperwork
Reduction Act.

Affected Entities: Sources potentially affected by this action are
incinerators that charge more than 45 megagrams per day (50 tons per
day) of solid waste.
Abstract: The New Source Performance Standard (NSPS) for

(40 CFR part 60, subpart VVV); EPA Preliminary ICR Number 1284.07; OMB
Control Number 2060-0181; expiration date January 31, 2005.
Affected Entities: Sources potentially affected by this action are
of polymeric coating plants.
Abstract: The New Source Performance Standard (NSPS) polymeric
coating of supporting substrates facilities at 40 CFR part 60, subpart
VVV were promulgated on September 15, 1987, and revised most recently
on September 19, 1989.
The affected sources are subject to the General Provisions of the
NSPS at 40 CFR part 60, subpart A and any changes, or additions to the
General Provisions specified at 40 CFR part 60, subpart VVV. Sources
must: maintain records of startups, shutdowns, malfunctions; periods
where the continuous monitoring system is inoperative; all measurements
including performance tests; operating parameters of monitoring device
results for catalytic or thermal incinerators, carbon adsorption
system, condensation system, vapor capture system and/or total
enclosure; monitor the annual use of volatile organic compounds (VOC);
and make semiannual estimates of projected VOC use, if affected
facility uses less than 95 Mg/year of volatile organic compounds or is
subject to provisions specified at Sec. 60.742(c)(3).
Burden Statement: In the previously approved ICR, the estimated
number of respondents for this information collection was 56 with 173
responses
[[Page 29727]]
per year. The annual industry reporting and recordkeeping burden for
this collection of information was 14,366 hours. On average, each
respondent reported 3.1 times per year, and 83 hours were spent
preparing each response. The annual reporting and recordkeeping cost
burden in the previous ICR was $564,000, which was comprised of
capital/startup costs of $43,000 and operation and maintenance costs of
$521,000.
(18) NESHAP for Solvent Extraction for Vegetable Oil Production (40
CFR part 63, subpart GGGG); EPA Preliminary ICR Number 1947.03; OMB
Control Number 2060-0471; expiration date January 31, 2005.
Affected Entities: Sources potentially affected by this action are
vegetable oil production plants.
Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air
Pollutants (NESHAP) for vegetable oil production at 40 CFR part 63,
subpart GGGG for vegetable oil production were promulgated on April 12,
2001.
This standard applies to any reconstructed, or new vegetable oil
production process, which is defined as a group of continuous process
equipment used to remove an oil from oilseeds through direct contact
with an organic solvent such as n-hexane. The term oilseed refers to
the following agricultural products: corn germ, cottonseed, flax,
peanut, rapeseed (for example, canola), safflower, soybean, and
sunflower. A vegetable oil production process is only subject to the
regulation if it is a major source of hazardous air pollutant (HAP)
emissions, or is collocated with other sources that are individually or
collectively a major source of HAP emissions.
The source are subject to the General Provisions of the NESHAP at
40 CFR part 63, subpart A and any changes, or additions to the General
Provisions specified at 40 CFR part 63, subpart GGGG. The solvent
extraction for vegetable oil production standard requires each source
to develop a plan for demonstrating compliance. On a monthly basis,
sources must measure/record extraction solvent, and record the HAP
content of the extraction solvent and oilseed inventories. Sources also
develop a startup, shutdown, and malfunction plan to be followed during
noncompliance events. Each source must submit initial and startup
notifications. Sources must submit a compliance status notification 12
months after the compliance date and an annual compliance certification
every subsequent 12 months.
Burden Statement: In the previously approved ICR, the estimated
number of respondents for this information collection was 75 with 75
responses per year. The annual industry reporting and recordkeeping
burden for this collection of information was 10,092 hours. On average,
each respondent reported once per year and 135 hours per spent
preparing each response. There were no capital/startup costs or
operation and maintenance costs associated with continuous emission
monitoring in the previous ICR.
