6720 Federal Register / Vol. 73, No.
24 / Tuesday, February 5, 2008 / Notices
SUMMARY: In this notice, EPA is
notifying the public that we have found
that the motor vehicle emissions
budgets (MVEBs) for 8-hour ozone in
Metro-East St. Louis (Madison, Monroe,
St. Clair, and Jersey Counties), Illinois,
are adequate for conformity purposes.
As a result of our finding, Metro-East St.
Louis must use the MVEBs from the 8-
hour ozone attainment demonstration
and state implementation plan (SIP)
submitted on July 2, 2007, for future
conformity determinations.
DATES: This finding is effective February
20, 2008.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Throughout this document, whenever
‘‘we’’, ‘‘us’’ or ‘‘our’’ is used, we mean
EPA.
Background
Today’s action is simply an
announcement of a finding that we have
already made. EPA Region 5 sent a letter
to the Illinois Environmental Protection
Agency on December 19, 2007, stating
that the 2008 and 2009 MVEBs in
Metro-East St. Louis are adequate.
Illinois submitted the budgets on July 2,
2007, as part of the 8-hour ozone
attainment demonstration for this area.
This submittal was announced on EPA’s
conformity Web site, and received no
comments: http://www.epa.gov/otaq/
stateresources/transconf/adequacy.htm,
(once there, click on ‘‘What SIP
submissions are currently under EPA
adequacy review?’’).
The 2008 and 2009 MVEBs, in tons
per day (tpd), for volatile organic
compounds (VOC) and oxides of
nitrogen (NOx) for Metro-East St. Louis
(Madison, Monroe, St. Clair, and Jersey
Counties) are as follows:
2008 MVEB 2009 MVEB
(tpd)
VOC .................. 14.27
NOX .................. 34.87
Transportation conformity is required
by section 176(c) of the Clean Air Act.
EPA’s conformity rule requires that
transportation plans, programs, and
rmajette on PROD1PC64 with NOTICES
projects conform to state air quality
implementation plans and establishes
the criteria and procedures for
determining whether or not they do.
Conformity to a SIP means that
VerDate Aug<31>2005 15:34 Feb 04, 2008 Jkt 214001
transportation activities will not
produce new air quality violations,
worsen existing violations, or delay
timely attainment of the national
ambient air quality standards.
The criteria by which we determine
whether a SIP’s motor vehicle emission
budgets are adequate for conformity
purposes are outlined in 40 CFR
93.118(e)(4). We have described our
process for determining the adequacy of
submitted SIP budgets in our July 1,
2004, preamble starting at 69 FR 40038,
and we used the information in these
resources while making our adequacy
determination. Please note that an
adequacy review is separate from EPA’s
completeness review, and it also should
not be used to prejudge EPA’s ultimate
approval of the SIP. Even if we find a
budget adequate, the SIP could later be
disapproved.
The finding and the response to
comments are available at EPA’s
conformity Web site: http://
www.epa.gov/otaq/stateresources/
transconf/adequacy.htm.
Authority: 42 U.S.C. 7401–7671 q.

Title: NESHAP for Epoxy Resin and
Non-Nylon Polyamide Production
(Renewal).
ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number
1681.06, OMB Control Number 2060–
0290.
ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to
expire on February 29, 2008. 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: The National Emission
Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants
(NESHAP) were proposed on May 16,
1994, and promulgated on March 8,
1995. This ICR contains recordkeeping
and reporting requirements that are
mandatory for compliance with 40 CFR
part 63, subpart W, regulating hazardous
air pollutants from process vents,
storage vessels, wastewater systems and
equipment leaks. The standards require
mandatory recordkeeping and reporting
to document process information related
to the source’s ability to comply with
the standards. This information is used
by the Agency to identify sources
subject to the standards and to insure
that the maximum achievable control
technology is being properly applied.
Section 112 of the Clean Air Act, as
amended in 1990, requires that EPA
establish standards to limit emissions of
hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) from
stationary sources. The sources subject
to these provisions emit the HAPs
epichlorohydrin, and in lesser amounts,
hydrochloric acid and methanol. In the
Administrator’s judgment, hazardous air
pollutant emissions in this industry
cause or contribute to air pollution that
rmajette on PROD1PC64 with NOTICES
may be reasonably expected to endanger
public health or welfare. Respondents
are owners or operators of new and
existing facilities that manufacture
polymers and resins from
VerDate Aug<31>2005 15:34 Feb 04, 2008 Jkt 214001
epichlorohydrin. Source categories
include basic liquid epoxy resin (BLR)
producers and producers of
epichlorohydrin-modified non-nylon
polyamide resins, also known as wet
strength resins (WSR).
Any owner or operator subject to the
provisions of this part shall maintain a
file of these measurements, and retain
the file for at least five years following
the date of such measurements,
maintenance reports, and records. All
reports are sent to the delegated state or
local authority. In the event that there
is no such delegated authority, the
reports are sent directly to the EPA
regional office. This information is
being collected to assure compliance
with 40 CFR part 63, subpart W and 40
CFR part 63, subpart A, as authorized in
section 112 and 114(a) of the Clean Air
Act. The required information consists
of emissions data and other information
that have been determined to be private.
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
Number for EPA’s regulations are listed
in 40 CFR part 9 and 48 CFR chapter 15,
and are identified on the form and/or
instrument, if applicable.
Burden Statement: The annual public
reporting and recordkeeping burden for
this collection of information is
estimated to average 214 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: Epoxy
resin and non-nylon polyamide
production.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 7.
Frequency of Response:
Semiannually, quarterly and initially.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:
3,853.
Estimated Total Annual Cost:
$252,711, which is comprised of $0
annualized Capital Startup costs, $9,000
PO 00000 Frm 00032 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 E:\FR\FM\05FEN1.SGM
6721
in annual Operating and Maintenance
(O&M) costs, and $243,711 annual Labor
costs.
Changes in the Estimates: There is no
change in the labor hours or cost 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 the
industry is very low, negative or non-
existent, so there is no significant
change in the overall burden.
Since there are no changes in the
regulatory requirements and there is no
significant industry growth, the labor
hours and cost figures in the previous
ICR are used in this ICR and there is no
change in burden to industry.
