    Title: NESHAP for Site Remediation.
    ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 2062.04, OMB Control Number 2060-0534.
    ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on February 28, 2010. 
Under 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 numbers 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 control numbers in certain EPA regulations is 
consolidated in 40 CFR part 9.
    Abstract: 40 CFR part 63, subpart GGGGG, applies to site 
remediation activities to cleanup materials containing organics that 
could be released to the atmosphere as a hazardous air pollutant (HAP). 
These site remediation activities are conducted at any facility where 
materials containing organic HAP currently are or have been stored, 
processed, treated, or otherwise managed at the facility. The types of 
businesses most likely to be subject to the standard include, but are 
not limited to: organic liquid storage terminals, petroleum refineries, 
chemical manufacturing facilities, and manufacturing facilities using 
organic materials.
    The affected entities are subject to the General Provisions of the 
NESHAP at 40 CFR part 63, subpart A, and any

[[Page 5786]]

changes, or additions to the General Provisions specified at 40 CFR 
part 63, subpart GGGGG.
    Owners or operators of the affected facilities must submit a one-
time-only report of any physical or operational changes, initial 
performance tests, and periodic reports and results. 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, 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 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 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: Site remediation facilities.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 286
    Frequency of Response: Initially, occasionally, and semiannually.
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 125,027
    Estimated Total Annual Cost: $12,596,594, which includes 
$12,014,594 in labor costs, no annualized capital/startup costs, and 
operation and maintenance (O&M) costs of $582,000.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is no change in the labor hours in 
this ICR compared to the previous ICR. This is due to two 
considerations. First, the regulations have not changed over the past 
three years and are not anticipated to change over the next three 
years. Secondly, the growth rate for respondents is very low, negative, 
or non-existent. Therefore, the labor hours in the previous ICR reflect 
the current burden to the respondents and are reiterated in this ICR. 
There is a minor change to the cost figures due to updates in labor 
rates. The updated labor categories and associated rates result in an 
increase to total labor cost.
    There is also a change in the method of reporting in this ICR. The 
labor hours and costs are calculated separately for each respondent 
type: ``private sector,'' ``state, local or tribal governments,'' and 
``federal government''. There is no change in the total respondent 
burden hours (comprising both industry and federal government 
respondents).
