    SUMMARY: In compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3507 
    (a)(1)(D), et seq.), this notice announces that the following 
    Information Collection Requests (ICRs) have been forwarded to the 
    Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval: NSPS for 
    Grain Elevators, Subpart DD, EPA ICR Number 1130.05, OMB Control Number 
    2060-0082; and NSPS for Petroleum Dry Cleaning Facilities, Subpart JJJ, 
    OMB NO. 2060-0079, EPA NO. 0997.05, both expiring November 30, 1996. 
    The ICRs describe the nature of the information collection and their 
    expected burdens and costs.
    
    DATES: Comments must be submitted on or before November 1, 1996.
    
    FOR FURTHER INFORMATION OR A COPY CALL: Sandy Farmer at EPA, (202) 260-
    2740, and refer to the appropriate EPA ICR No. 1130.05, or 997.05.
    
    SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    
        Title: New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for grain elevators, 
    Subpart DD, OMB Control Number 2060-0082, EPA ICR Number 1130.05, 
    expiring November 30, 1996. This is a request for an extension of a 
    currently approved collection.
        Abstract: Owners or operators to NSPS Subpart DD must make the 
    following one time-only reports: notification of the date of 
    construction or reconstruction; notification of the anticipated and 
    actual dates of startup; notification of any physical or operational 
    change to an existing facility that may increase the rate of emission 
    of the regulated pollutant; notification of the date of the initial 
    performance test; and the results of the initial performance test, 
    including information necessary to determine the conditions of the 
    performance test and performance test measurements and results, 
    including particulate matter concentration and opacity.
        Owners or operators are also required to maintain records of the 
    occurrence and duration of any startup, shutdown, or malfunction in the 
    operation of an affected facility, as well as the nature and cause of 
    the malfunction (if known)and corrective measures taken. These 
    notifications, reports and records are required, in general, of all 
    sources subject to NSPS. Without such information, enforcement 
    personnel would be unable to determine if the standards are being met 
    on a continuous basis, as required by the Clean Air Act.
        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 
    regulations are listed in 40 CFR Part 9 and 48 CFR Chapter 15. The 
    Federal Register Notice required under 5 CFR 1320.8(d), soliciting 
    comments on this collection of information was published on June 11, 
    1996 (61 FR 29551). One commentor telephoned to say he thought EPA's 
    estimate of one new source annually was low. After consulting with 
    Regions and AIRS, EPA has decided not to adjust its estimate. The 
    available data do not indicate the startup of more than one Subpart DD 
    source in the average year.
        The required information consists of emissions data and other 
    information that have been determined not to be private. However, any 
    information submitted to the Agency for which a claim of 
    confidentiality is made will be safeguarded according to the Agency 
    policies set forth in Title 40, Chapter 1, Part 2, Subpart B--
    Confidentiality of Business Information (see 40 CFR 2; 41 FR 36902, 
    September 1, 1976; amended by 43 FR 40000, September 8, 1978; 43 FR 
    42251, September 20, 1978; 44 FR 1764, March 23, 1979).
        Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping 
    burden for this collection of information is estimated to average one 
    hour for each of the estimated 63 established sources, and 42.6 hours 
    for the estimated one new source every year. 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
    
    [[Page 51447]]
    
    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.
        Affected Entities: Grain elevators.
        Estimated Number of Respondents: 64.5.
        Frequency of Response: On occasion.
        Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 107.1 hours.
    
        Title: NSPS for Petroleum Dry Cleaning Facilities Subpart JJJ (OMB 
    Control No. 2060-0079; EPA ICR No. 0997.05); expiring November 30, 
    1996. This is a request for renewal of a currently approved information 
    collection request.
        Abstract: Owners or operators of petroleum dry cleaning facilities 
    must make the following one-time only reports: notification of the date 
    of construction or reconstruction; notification of the anticipated and 
    actual dates of startup; notification of any physical or operational 
    change to an existing facility which may increase the regulated 
    pollutant emission rate; and the notification of the date of the 
    initial performance test. Owners or operators are also required to 
    maintain records for two years of the occurrence and duration of any 
    startup, shutdown, or malfunction in the operation of the affected 
    facility. The notifications are used to inform the Agency or delegated 
    authority when a source becomes subject to the standard. Performance 
    test records are needed to ensure the source's initial capability to 
    comply with the emission standards.
        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 coltrol numbers for EPA's 
    regulations are listed in 40 CFR Part 9 and 48 CFR Chapter 15.
        The Federal Register Notice required under 5 CFR 1320.8(d), 
    soliciting comments on this collection of information was published on 
    June 11, 1996 (61 FR 29551). No comments were received.
        Burden Statement: The annual public recordkeeping and reporting 
    burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 82 
    hours per response for new dry cleaning facilities. This is a one-time 
    requirement. 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.
        Affected Entities: Petroleum dry cleaners.
        Estimated Number of Respondents: 216.
        Frequency of Response: On occasion.
        Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 1483 hours.
        Send comments on the Agency's need for the information in these 
    collections, the accuracy of the provided burden estimates, and any 
    suggested methods for minimizing respondent burden, including through 
    the use of automated collection techniques to the following addresses. 
    Please refer to the appropriate EPA ICR Number and OMB Control Number 
    in any correspondence.
