ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
[FRL-S204-4]
Agency Information Collection Activities Under OMB Review
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: In compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501
et seq.), this notice announces that the Information Collection Request
(ICR) abstracted below has been forwarded to the Office of Management
and Budget (OMB) for review and comment. The ICR describes the nature
of the information collection and its expected cost and burden; where
appropriate, it includes the actual data collection instrument.
DATES: Comments must be submitted on or before June 8, 1995.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Sandy Farmer at EPA, (202) 260-2740,
please refer to EPA ICR #1602.02
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Office of Air and Radiation
Title: Maximum Achievable Control Technology (MACT) Standards
Development Under Title III (Section 112) of the Clean Air Act
Regulatory Development Program (EPA ICR #1602.02). This is a renewal of
an already existing information collection.
Abstract: Respondents are owners or operators of facilities
included on the list of source categories for which EPA plans to
initiate development of national emission standards for hazardous air
pollutants (NESHAP) under Section 112(d) of the amended Clean Air Act
within the next 3 years, as well as a limited number of source
categories for which NESHAP development studies are currently underway.
Depending on the number of facilities in an individual source category,
respondents would be required to complete one of two surveys. In those
source categories with 400 or fewer facilities, respondents would
complete a survey for maximum achievable control technology (MACT)
standards development. This survey is designed to obtain facility-
specific information on process types, emissions, controls, and factors
affecting costs to ensure that the EPA Office of Air Quality Planning
and Standards (OAQPS) has sufficient information to make subcategory
distinction and MACT floor decisions for each NESHAP. In those source
categories with more than 400 facilities, [[Page 24631]] respondents
would complete a screening survey. EPA would use the results of the
screening survey to develop a sample design that would be applied to
individual ICR's for the MACT standards development survey.
``Burden Statement: The public reporting burden for this collection
of information is estimated to average 8.5 hours per response for
completing the screening survey and 85 hours for completing the MACT
standards development survey. This estimate includes the time needed to
review instructions, search existing data sources, gather the data
needed and review the collection of information. Reporters would
complete and submit the surveys once. EPA would choose a new set of
6,903 respondents each year.
Respondents: Owners or operators of facilities which emit hazardous
air pollutants.
Estimated Annual No. of Respondents: 2,190 MACT Survey Respondents;
4,713 Screening Survey Respondents.
Estimated No of Responses per Respondent: 1.
Estimated Total Annual Burden: 226,210 hours.
Frequency of Collection: One time.

this information collection, including suggestions for reducing burden,
