Title: NSPS for Petroleum Dry Cleaners (Renewal).
ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 0997.10, OMB Control Number 2060-0079.
ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on August 31, 2012. Under OMB regulations, the Agency may continue to conduct or sponsor the collection of information while this submission is pending at OMB.
Abstract: The New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for the Petroleum Dry Cleaners (40 CFR part 60, subpart JJJ) were proposed on December 14, 1982, promulgated on September 21, 1984, and amended on October 17, 2000. The affected entities are subject to the General Provisions of the NSPS at 40 CFR part 60, subpart A and any changes, or additions to the Provisions specified at 40 CFR part 60, subpart JJJ.
Owners or operators of the affected facilities must make an initial notification, performance tests, periodic reports, and maintain records of the occurrence and duration of any startup, shutdown, or malfunction in the operation of an affected facility, or any period during which the monitoring system is inoperative. Reports, at a minimum, are required semiannually.
Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 22 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 which have subsequently changed; 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.
Respondents/Affected Entities: Owners and operators of petroleum dry cleaners.
Page 42304
Estimated Number of Respondents: 20.
Frequency of Response: Initially.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 1,849.
Estimated Total Annual Cost: $177,191, which includes $177,191 in labor costs exclusively, with no capital/startup costs, and no operation and maintenance (O&M) costs.
Changes in the Estimates: There is an increase in labor hours for both the respondents and the Agency in this ICR compared to the previous ICR. The adjustment increase is due to an increase in the number of new or modified sources. This increase is not due to any program changes. There is also an increase in the total labor and Agency costs as currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved Burdens. The change in cost estimates reflects the changes in respondent numbers (described above) and updated labors rates available from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
