Title: NESHAP for Site Remediation (Renewal).
ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 2062.03, OMB Control Number 2060-0534.
ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on December 31, 2006.
Under the OMB regulations, the Agency may continue to conduct or
sponsor the collection of information while this submission is pending
at OMB. 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 number for EPA's
regulations in title 40 of the CFR, after appearing in the Federal
Register when approved, are listed in 40 CFR part 9, and displayed
either by publication in the Federal Register or by other appropriate
means, such as on the related collection instrument or form, if
applicable. The display of OMB
[[Page 76644]]
control numbers in certain EPA regulations is consolidated in 40 CFR
part 9.
Abstract: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is required
under section 111 of the Clean Air Act, as amended, to collect data.
The information will be used by Agency enforcement personnel to (1)
Identify existing sources subject to these standards; (2) ensure that
Best Demonstrated Technology is being properly applied; and (3) ensure
that the emission control devise is being properly operated and
maintained on a continuous basis. In addition, records and reports are
necessary to enable the EPA to identify those site remediation
facilities that may not be in compliance with these standards. Based on
reported information, the EPA can decide which facilities should be
inspected and what records or processes should be inspected at the
facilities. The records that site remediation facilities maintain would
indicate to the EPA whether the personnel are operating and maintaining
control equipment properly. The type of data required is principally
emissions data (through parametric monitoring) and would not be
confidential. If any information is submitted to the EPA for which a
claim of confidentiality is made, the information would be safeguarded
according to the Agency policies set forth in 40 CFR, chapter 1, part
2, subpart B.
Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and record keeping
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 219
hours 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
maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information;
adjust the existing ways to comply with any previously applicable
instructions and requirements; train personnel to respond to a
collection of information; search data sources; complete and review the
collection of information; and transmit or otherwise disclose the
information.
Respondents/Affected Entities: Site remediation facilities.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 286.
Frequency of Response: On occasion and semiannually.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 125,027.
Estimated Total Annual Cost: $582,000 for operating and maintenance
costs. There are no capital/startup costs associated with this ICR.
Change in Estimates: There is a decrease in hours in the total
estimated burden currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved
ICR Burdens. This decrease is not due to any program changes. Over the
past three years, the respondents completed those activities required
to achieve initial compliance. Such activities are more burdensome than
the burden associated with the rule requirements for continuing
compliance as addressed by this ICR. Hence, there is a decrease in
burden.
