Requirements
for
the
National
Emission

for
Hazardous
Air
Pollutants
(

for
Clay
Ceramics
Manufacturing
(

KKKKK)."
This
is
a
new
information
collection
request
(
ICR).
The
U.
S.

Environmental
Protection
Agency
(
EPA)
tracking
number
is
2023.01.

(
b)
Short
Characterization.

Potential
respondents
are
owners
or
operators
of
new
and
existing
clay
ceramic
manufacturing
facilities.
A
clay
ceramics
facility
manufactures
pressed
floor
tile,
pressed
wall
tile,

other
pressed
tile,
or
sanitaryware
(
e.
g.,
sinks
and
toilets).
Clay
ceramics
facilities
typically
form,

dry,
and
fire
tile
or
sanitaryware
products
that
are
composed
of
clay,
shale,
and
various
additives.

Glazes
are
applied
to
some
tile
and
sanitaryware
products.
The
rule
applies
to
all
existing,
new
and
reconstructed
kilns.
There
are
no
emission
limits
for
existing
kilns
in
the
rule.
However,
all
existing
kilns,
as
well
as
all
new
and
reconstructed
kilns,
are
subject
to
work
practice
standards
that
require
keeping
records
of
the
type
of
fuel
used.
The
emission
limits
in
the
rule
apply
to
new
and
reconstructed
tunnel
kilns.
However,
the
emission
limits
are
different
for
small
and
large
tunnel
kilns.
Small
tunnel
kilns
have
design
capacities
of
less
than
10
tons
per
hour
of
fired
product,
while
large
tunnel
kilns
have
design
capacities
equal
to
or
greater
than
10
tons
per
hour
of
fired
product.
Kilns
are
used
to
fire
the
clay
ceramic
products.

Consistent
with
the
General
Provisions
for
NESHAP
for
Source
Categories
(
40
CFR
Part
63,
Subpart
A),
respondents
do
not
include
the
owner
or
operator
of
any
facility
that
is
not
a
major
source
of
hazardous
air
pollutant
(
HAP)
emissions
or
any
facility
that
does
not
operate
affected
kilns,
even
if
the
facility
is
a
major
source.
A
major
source
of
HAP
is
a
plant
site
that
emits
or
has
the
potential
to
emit
any
single
HAP
at
a
rate
of
10
tons
or
more
per
year
or
any
combination
of
HAP
at
a
rate
of
25
tons
or
more
per
year.
There
are
an
estimated
eight
clay
ceramics
facilities
with
existing
kilns
that
are
major
sources
of
HAP.
We
anticipate
that
one
facility
will
construct
one
new
small
tunnel
kiln
during
the
first
3
years
following
the
effective
date
of
the
rule
and
will
meet
the
applicability
criteria
defined
in
the
rule.
3
Respondents
with
existing,
new,
or
reconstructed
kilns
must
submit
a
one­
time
notification
of
applicability
and
must
maintain
records
of
the
type
of
fuel
used.
Respondents
with
new
or
reconstructed
tunnel
kilns
must
also
submit
reports
on
initial
performance
test
results.

Facilities
with
new
or
reconstructed
tunnel
kilns
must
develop
and
implement
a
startup,

shutdown,
and
malfunction
plan
(
SSMP)
and
submit
semiannual
reports
of
any
event
where
the
plan
was
not
followed.
Respondents
with
new
or
reconstructed
tunnel
kilns
must
also
develop
and
implement
an
operation,
maintenance,
and
monitoring
(
OM&
M)
plan
covering
each
affected
source
and
each
emission
control
device
used
for
compliance
with
the
rule.
Semiannual
reports
for
periods
of
emission
limitation
deviations
(
or
reports
certifying
that
no
deviations
have
occurred)
also
are
required.
General
requirements
applicable
to
all
NESHAP
require
records
of
applicability
determinations;
performance
test
results;
deviations;
periods
of
startups,
shutdowns,

or
malfunctions;
monitoring
records;
and
all
other
information
needed
to
determine
compliance
with
the
applicable
standard.
Records
and
reports
must
be
retained
for
a
minimum
of
5
years.

The
most
recent
2
years
of
data
must
be
retained
onsite.
The
remaining
3
years
of
data
may
be
retained
offsite.

Subpart
KKKKK
requires
respondents
with
existing,
new,
or
reconstructed
kilns
to
monitor
type
of
fuel
used.
Respondents
with
new
or
reconstructed
tunnel
kilns
also
must
monitor
control
device
operating
parameters
to
assure
continuous
compliance
with
the
rule.
Parameter
monitoring
requirements
for
dry
limestone
adsorbers
(
DLA)
include
periodic
visible
emissions
(
VE)
determinations,
pressure
drop
monitoring,
and
limestone
feed
rate
monitoring.
Facilities
using
a
DLA
must
also
record
the
source
of
limestone
used
in
the
DLA.
Parameter
monitoring
requirements
for
dry
injection
fabric
filter
(
DIFF)
or
dry
lime
scrubber/
fabric
filter
(
DLS)
include
lime
injection
rate
monitoring
and
either
periodic
VE
determinations
or
use
of
bag
leak
detectors.

The
rule
also
includes
monitoring
requirements
for
wet
scrubbers,
including
monitoring
of
pressure
drop,
liquid
pH,
liquid
flow
rate,
and
chemical
addition
rate
(
if
applicable).
While
any
of
these
technologies
could
be
used
to
comply
with
the
emission
standards
for
new
or
reconstructed
kilns,
it
is
anticipated
that
most
facilities
will
use
a
DLA
system
for
small
tunnel
kilns
or
a
DIFF
system
for
large
tunnel
kilns.
Respondents
also
must
maintain
records
of
specific
information
4
needed
to
determine
that
the
standards
are
being
achieved
and
maintained.
These
requirements
are
described
in
Attachment
1.

2.
Need
For
and
Use
of
the
Collection
(
a)
Need/
Authority
for
the
Collection.

The
EPA
is
required
under
section
112(
d)
of
the
Clean
Air
Act
(
CAA),
as
amended,
to
establish
emission
standards
for
each
category
or
subcategory
of
major
and
area
sources
of
HAP
listed
for
regulation
in
section
112(
b).
These
standards
are
applicable
to
new
or
existing
sources
of
HAP
and
shall
require
the
maximum
degree
of
emission
reduction.

The
predominant
HAP
emitted
from
clay
ceramics
manufacturing
facilities
include
hydrogen
fluoride
(
HF),
hydrogen
chloride
(
HCl),
and
metals
(
antimony,
arsenic,
beryllium,

cadmium,
chromium,
cobalt,
mercury,
manganese,
nickel,
lead,
and
selenium).
In
the
Administrator's
judgement,
the
pollutants
emitted
from
clay
ceramics
manufacturing
facilities
cause
or
contribute
significantly
to
air
pollution
that
may
reasonably
be
anticipated
to
endanger
public
health.
Consequently,
NESHAP
for
this
source
category
have
been
developed
and
are
being
promulgated.
(
Note:
The
clay
ceramics
manufacturing
source
category
was
originally
included
in
the
clay
products
manufacturing
industry
source
category
in
the
initial
list
of
source
categories
published
on
July
16,
1992
(
57
FR
31576).
The
clay
ceramics
manufacturing
source
category
was
subsequently
identified
as
a
separate
and
distinct
source
category
and
was
added
to
the
list
of
source
categories
on
July
22,
2002
(
67
FR
47894)).

Section
114
of
the
CAA
allows
the
Administrator
to
require
inspections,
monitoring,
and
entry
into
facilities
to
ensure
compliance
with
a
section
112
emission
standard.
Section
114(
a)(
1)

specifically
states:

"
The
Administrator
may
require
any
person
who
owns
or
operates
any
emission
source
...

who
is
subject
to
the
provisions
of
the
CAA
on
a
one­
time,
periodic,
or
continuous
basis
to;

(
A)
establish
and
maintain
such
records;

(
B)
make
such
reports;

(
C)
install,
use,
and
maintain
such
monitoring
equipment,
and
use
such
audit
procedures,
or
methods;

(
D)
sample
such
emissions;
5
(
E)
keep
records
on
control
equipment
parameters,
production
variables
or
other
indirect
data
when
direct
monitoring
of
emissions
is
impractical;

(
F)
submit
compliance
certifications
in
accordance
with
section
114(
a)(
3);
and
(
G)
provide
such
other
information
as
the
Administrator
may
reasonably
require."

Certain
records
and
reports
are
necessary
to
enable
the
Administrator
to
identify
sources
subject
to
the
standards
and
to
ensure
that
the
standards
are
being
achieved.

(
b)
Practical
Utility/
Users
of
the
Data.

The
information
will
be
used
by
EPA
enforcement
personnel
to:
(
1)
identify
new,

modified,
reconstructed,
and
existing
sources
subject
to
the
standards;
(
2)
ensure
that
maximum
achievable
control
technology
(
MACT)
is
being
properly
applied;
and
(
3)
ensure
that
the
emission
control
devices
are
being
properly
operated
and
maintained
on
a
continuous
basis.
In
addition,

records
and
reports
are
necessary
to
enable
EPA
to
identify
facilities
that
may
not
be
in
compliance
with
the
standards.
Based
on
the
reported
information,
EPA
can
decide
which
facilities
should
be
inspected
and
what
records
or
processes
should
be
inspected
at
these
facilities.

The
records
that
facilities
maintain
will
indicate
to
EPA
whether
the
owners
or
operators
are
in
compliance
with
the
emission
limitations
(
including
emission
limits,
operating
limits,
and
work
practice
standards).
Much
of
the
information
EPA
would
need
to
determine
compliance
would
be
recorded
and
retained
onsite
at
the
facility.
Such
information
would
be
reviewed
by
enforcement
personnel
during
an
inspection
and
would
not
need
to
be
routinely
reported
to
EPA.

3.
Nonduplication,
Consultations,
and
Other
Collection
Criteria
(
a)
Nonduplication.

The
information
required
by
the
clay
ceramics
manufacturing
NESHAP
is
not
duplicated
by
existing
EPA
regulations
and
is
not
expected
to
be
required
by
any
other
EPA
rulemaking
currently
in
progress.
However,
certain
reports
required
by
State
or
local
agencies
may
duplicate
information
required
by
the
standards.
In
such
cases,
a
copy
of
the
report
submitted
to
the
State
or
local
agency
may
be
provided
to
the
Administrator
in
lieu
of
the
report
required
by
the
standards.

(
b)
Public
Notice
Required
Prior
to
ICR
Submissions
to
the
Office
of
Management
and
Budget
(
OMB).
6
This
section
is
not
applicable
because
this
is
a
rule­
related
ICR.
A
public
review
and
comment
period
occurred
following
proposal
of
the
clay
ceramics
manufacturing
NESHAP
in
the
Federal
Register.

(
c)
Consultations.

Representatives
of
the
industry
trade
associations
and
their
member
companies
were
consulted
during
the
development
of
the
rule,
and
several
meetings
and
teleconferences
have
been
held
with
them
during
this
time.
The
industry
trade
associations
include
the
Tile
Council
of
America
and
the
American
Ceramics
Society.
During
these
meetings,
the
representatives
were
given
the
opportunity
to
comment
on
the
regulatory
approach.
The
major
topics
of
these
discussions
included
rule
applicability
and
the
regulatory
approach.
No
specific
information
was
provided
to
the
representatives
with
respect
to
burden
estimates.

The
EPA
provided
a
60­
day
public
comment
period
following
proposal
of
the
clay
ceramics
manufacturing
NESHAP,
during
which
all
affected
parties
were
given
the
opportunity
to
comment
on
the
proposed
rule.
Comments
were
received
from
clay
ceramics
manufacturers,

environmental
organizations,
and
industry
trade
associations.
The
EPA
considered
all
of
the
comments
received
and,
as
appropriate,
incorporated
them
into
the
final
rule.

(
d)
Effects
of
Less
Frequent
Collection.

If
the
relevant
information
was
collected
less
frequently,
EPA
would
not
be
reasonably
assured
that
the
facilities
are
applying
good
operation
and
maintenance
practices
and
meeting
the
emission
limitations
and
work
practice
standards
in
the
rule.
In
addition,
our
authority
to
take
administrative
action
would
be
significantly
reduced.
Section
113(
d)
of
the
CAA
limits
the
assessment
of
administrative
penalties
to
violations
which
occur
no
more
than
12
months
before
initiation
of
the
administrative
proceeding.
Since
administrative
proceedings
are
less
costly
and
require
use
of
fewer
resources
than
judicial
proceedings,
both
we
and
the
regulated
community
benefit
from
preservation
of
our
administrative
powers.
Also,
the
reporting
frequency
in
the
rule
is
consistent
with
the
requirements
of
Title
V
permit
programs.
Consequently,
less
frequent
reports
would
not
result
in
a
reduced
burden.

(
e)
General
Guidelines.
7
The
clay
ceramics
manufacturing
NESHAP
requires
that
facilities
retain
records
for
a
period
of
5
years,
which
exceeds
the
3­
year
retention
period
specified
in
the
general
information
collection
guidelines
in
5
CFR
1320.6(
f)
of
OMB
regulations
implementing
the
Paperwork
Reduction
Act.
However,
the
5­
year
retention
period
is
consistent
with
the
retention
requirement
in
the
General
Provisions
in
subpart
A
of
40
CFR
part
63
and
the
retention
requirement
in
the
operating
permit
program
under
40
CFR
part
70.
All
facilities
subject
to
this
rule
will
be
required
to
obtain
operating
permits
either
through
the
State­
approved
permitting
program
or,
if
one
does
not
exist,
in
accordance
with
the
provisions
of
40
CFR
part
71.
Thus,
the
5­
year
record
retention
requirement
of
the
rule
adds
no
additional
burden.
At
a
minimum,
respondents
will
be
required
to
retain
onsite
the
most
recent
2
years
of
data.
The
remaining
3
years
of
data
could
be
retained
at
a
readily
accessible
onsite
or
offsite
storage
facility.
None
of
the
other
guidelines
in
5
CFR
1320.6
are
being
exceeded.

(
f)
Confidentiality.

All
information
submitted
to
EPA
for
which
a
claim
of
confidentiality
is
made
will
be
safeguarded
according
to
EPA
policies
set
forth
in
Title
40,
Chapter
1,

Information
contained
in
the
one­

will
be
entered
into
the
Aerometric
Information
Retrieval
System
(
AIRS)
Facility

that
is
maintained

Information
contained
in
the
periodic

for
accuracy
and
completeness.
Data
obtained

and
published
for

(
c)
Small
Entity
Flexibility.

Approximately
13
of
the
estimated
58
plants
that
make
up
the
clay
ceramics
industry
are
owned
by
small
businesses
based
on
the
definition
used
by
the
Small
Business
Administration
(
ranging
from
100
to
750
company
employees
depending
on
the
companies
SIC/
NAICS
codes).

Information
available
to
the
EPA
indicates
that
none
of
these
plants
will
be
subject
to
the
NESHAP
because
none
of
the
plants
are
major
sources.
One
new
small
tunnel
kiln
is
projected
to
be
installed
at
one
existing
major
source
facility.
Regardless,
the
EPA
does
not
expect
that
any
facilities,
including
small
businesses,
will
experience
adverse
impacts
due
to
the
cost
of
the
reporting
and
recordkeeping
requirements
of
the
rule.

(
d)
Collection
Schedule.

Collection
of
data
will
begin
after
the
effective
date
of
the
final
clay
ceramics
manufacturing
NESHAP.
The
compliance
date
for
existing
sources
is
3
years
after
the
effective
date.
The
compliance
date
for
new
or
reconstructed
sources
is
the
effective
date
if
the
source
startup
date
is
before
the
effective
date,
or
upon
startup
if
the
startup
date
is
on
or
after
the
effective
date.
The
schedule
for
notifications
and
reports
required
by
the
rule
is
summarized
below.

For
facilities
with
existing
kilns,
the
initial
notification
stating
that
the
facility
is
subject
to
the
rule
must
be
submitted
no
later
than
120
days
after
the
effective
date
of
the
rule.
Facilities
with
new
or
reconstructed
kilns
for
which
startup
occurs
on
or
after
the
effective
date
must
submit
an
initial
notification
stating
that
the
facility
is
subject
to
the
rule
no
later
than
120
days
after
the
source
becomes
subject
to
the
rule.
Facilities
with
new
kilns
may
choose
to
submit
a
request
for
a
routine
control
device
maintenance
exemption
30
days
prior
to
the
compliance
date.

Facilities
with
new
kilns
are
required
to
conduct
a
performance
test
and
must
submit
a
notification
of
intent
to
conduct
a
performance
test
at
least
60
days
before
the
performance
test
is
scheduled
to
begin.
For
each
initial
compliance
demonstration
that
includes
a
performance
test,
facilities
must
submit
an
initial
notification
of
compliance
status
no
later
than
60
days
following
the
completion
of
the
performance
test.
For
each
initial
compliance
demonstration
that
does
not
10
involve
a
performance
test,
facilities
must
submit
an
initial
notification
within
30
days
of
completing
the
initial
compliance
demonstration.
Records
necessary
to
determine
compliance
with
the
emission
limitations
for
new
and
reconstructed
tunnel
kilns
and
the
work
practice
standards
for
existing,
new,
and
reconstructed
kilns
must
be
compiled
on
a
daily
basis,
and
compliance
reports
must
be
submitted
to
the
Administrator
on
a
semi­
annual
basis.

6.
Estimating
the
Burden
and
Cost
of
the
Collection
(
a)
Estimating
Respondent
Burden.

The
annual
burden
estimates
for
reporting
and
recordkeeping
activities
for
the
first
3
years
after
the
effective
date
of
the
rule
are
presented
in
Attachment
2,
Table
1.
These
numbers
were
derived
from
estimates
based
on
EPA's
experience
with
similar
information
collection
requirements
in
other
standards
development
efforts.

(
b)
Estimating
Respondent
Costs.

The
information
collection
activities
for
sources
subject
to
the
standards
are
presented
in
Attachment
2,
Table
1.
The
total
cost
for
each
respondent
activity
includes
labor
costs,

capital/
start­
up
costs,
and
operating
and
maintenance
(
O&
M)
costs.
Labor
costs
for
reporting
and
recordkeeping
activities
were
estimated
based
on
the
most
recently
available
labor
rate
data
from
the
U.
S.
Bureau
of
Labor
Statistics
(
BLS)
(
http://
www.
bls.
gov/
ncs/
ect/
home.
htm).
Labor
costs
are
divided
into
the
following
three
categories:
(
1)
technical,
(
2)
management,
and
(
3)

clerical.
The
labor
rates,
including
fringe
benefits,
reported
by
BLS
for
June
2002
(
the
most
recent
rates
available)
are
$
30.89
per
hour
($
30.89/
hr)
for
technical
personnel,
$
49.66/
hr
for
managerial
personnel,
and
$
21.14/
hr
for
clerical
personnel.
The
base
labor
rates
were
adjusted
by
an
overhead
rate
of
167
percent.
The
final
total
labor
rates
are
$
51.59
for
technical
personnel,

$
82.93
for
management,
and
$
35.30
for
clerical.
Capital/
startup
costs
include
the
costs
of
conducting
performance
tests,
attending
a
visible
emissions
training
course,
and
purchasing
file
cabinets
for
storing
records.
Operation
and
maintenance
costs
include
photocopy
and
postage
costs
associated
with
reporting
requirements.
The
monitoring
equipment
needed
to
monitor
parameters
other
than
visible
emissions
(
e.
g.,
limestone
or
lime
feed
rate)
is
included
as
part
of
the
control
system
and
therefore
adds
no
additional
capital
or
O&
M
cost.
There
is
no
O&
M
cost
11
associated
with
visible
emissions
monitoring
other
than
the
training
costs.
The
capital/
startup
costs
were
estimated
and
annualized
as
described
in
the
footnotes
to
Attachment
2,
Table
1.

(
c)
Estimating
Agency
Burden
and
Cost.

No
costs
can
be
attributed
to
the
development
of
the
information
collection
requirements
because
the
information
collection
requirements
were
developed
as
an
incidental
part
of
standards
development.
Because
reporting
and
recordkeeping
requirements
on
the
part
of
the
respondents
are
required
under
section
112
of
the
CAA,
no
operational
costs
will
be
incurred
by
the
Federal
Government.
Publication
and
distribution
of
the
information
are
part
of
the
AFS,
with
the
result
that
no
Federal
costs
can
be
directly
attributed
to
the
ICR.
Examination
of
records
to
be
maintained
by
the
respondents
will
occur
incidentally
as
part
of
the
periodic
inspection
of
sources
that
is
part
of
EPA's
overall
compliance
and
enforcement
program.
Therefore,
this
examination
is
not
attributable
to
the
ICR.
The
only
costs
that
the
Federal
government
will
incur
are
user
costs
associated
with
the
analysis
of
the
reported
information,
as
presented
in
Attachment
2,
Table
2.

Labor
rates
for
Federal
employees
are
based
on
the
January
2002,
Office
of
Personnel
Management
labor
rates
for
General
Schedule
employees
(
http://
www.
opm.
gov/
oca/
02tables/
02gsh.
pdf).
The
base
labor
rates
are
$
27.13/
hr
for
technical
personnel
(
GS­
12,
step
5),
$
44.85
for
management
personnel
(
GS­
15,
step
5),
and
$
15.29/
hr
for
clerical
personnel
(
GS­
7,
step
5).
The
base
labor
rates
were
multiplied
by
the
standard
government
benefits
multiplication
factor
of
1.6.
The
resulting
average
hourly
labor
costs
are
$
43.41
for
technical
personnel,
$
71.76
for
management,
and
$
24.46
for
clerical.

(
d)
Estimating
the
Respondent
Universe
and
Total
Burden
and
Costs.

Once
the
burden
and
costs
per
activity
have
been
established
on
a
per
respondent
basis,

the
total
burden
and
cost
must
be
calculated
for
all
respondents
and
for
the
Agency.
To
calculate
the
total
burden
and
costs,
the
number
of
respondents
needed
to
complete
each
information
collection
activity
must
be
estimated.
The
total
number
of
respondents
is
also
referred
to
as
the
"
respondent
universe."

The
EPA
has
identified
58
facilities
that
are
involved
in
clay
ceramics
production
processes.
Based
on
analyses
of
information
collected
from
industry
surveys
and
operating
permits,
the
EPA
estimates
that
eight
of
the
facilities
may
be
major
sources.
In
addition,
it
is
12
expected
that
one
new
small
tunnel
kiln
will
be
installed
at
one
of
these
major
source
facilities
during
the
3­
year
ICR
clearance
period.
Details
on
the
number
of
respondents
affected
by
each
individual
burden
item
are
provided
in
the
footnotes
of
Attachment
2,
Table

Respondent
tally.
The
bottom
line
annual
respondent
burden
hours
and
costs,

presented
in
Table
1
of
Attachment
2,
are
calculated
by
adding
person­
hours
per
year
down
each
column
for
technical,
managerial,
and
clerical
staff,
and
by
adding
down
the
cost
column.
The
total
annual
number
of
responses
is
16.
The
estimated
bottom
line
annual
burden
is
185
labor
hours
at
an
annual
labor
cost
of
$
9,533.
The
estimated
total
capital/
startup
costs
that
would
be
incurred
during
each
of
the
3
years
following
promulgation
are
$
7,942.
The
annualized
capital/
startup
costs
are
$
1,824.
The
total
annual
O&
M
cost
is
estimated
to
be
$
358.
The
total
annualized
cost
(
including
the
annualized
capital/
startup
and
O&
M
costs)
is
$
2,183.

(
ii)
The
Agency
tally.
The
bottom
line
Agency
burden
hours
and
costs,
presented
in
Table
2
of
Attachment
2,
are
calculated
as
in
the
respondent
table,
by
adding
person­
hours
per
year
down
each
column
for
technical,
managerial,
and
clerical
staff,
and
by
adding
down
the
cost
column.
In
this
case,
total
cost
is
the
sum
of
this
total
salary
cost
and
total
travel
expenses
for
tests
attended.
The
total
annual
hours
are
142.
The
total
annual
cost
is
$
6,123.

(
iii)
Variations
in
the
annual
bottom
line.
This
section
does
not
apply
since
no
significant
variation
is
anticipated.
It
is
assumed
that
the
annual
burden
hours
and
costs
do
not
vary
over
the
3­
year
review
period.

(
f)
Reasons
for
Change
in
Burden.

This
section
does
not
apply
because
this
is
a
new
collection.

(
g)
Burden
Statement:
The
annual
public
reporting
and
recordkeeping
burden
for
this
collection
of
information
is
estimated
to
average
11
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
13
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.
