[Release Nos. 33-9022; 34-59728; 39-2464; IC-28691]

Adoption of Updated EDGAR Filer Manual

AGENCY: Securities and Exchange Commission.

ACTION: Final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Securities and Exchange Commission (the Commission) is
adopting revisions to the Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis, and
Retrieval System (EDGAR) Filer Manual to reflect updates to the EDGAR
system. The revisions are being made primarily to update EDGAR to
support the potential rule where domestic and foreign large accelerated
filers that use U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP)
would provide to the Commission a new exhibit to their filings for
their reporting periods that end as per the details specified in the
final eXtensible Business Reporting Language (XBRL) rule. The revisions
to the Filer Manual reflect changes within Volume II entitled EDGAR
Filer Manual, Volume II: ``EDGAR Filing,'' Version 10 (December 2008).
The updated manual

will be incorporated by reference into the Code of Federal Regulations.

DATES: Effective Date: April 16, 2009. The incorporation by reference
of the EDGAR Filer Manual is approved by the Director of the Federal
Register as of April 16, 2009.

Charnock, Regulation Specialist, at<PHONE_NUMBER>.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Today we are adopting an updated EDGAR Filer
Manual, Volume II. The Filer Manual describes the technical formatting
requirements for the preparation and submission of electronic filings
through the EDGAR system.\1\ It also describes the requirements for
filing using EDGARLink \2\ and the Online Forms/XML Web site.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ We originally adopted the Filer Manual on April 1, 1993,
with an effective date of April 26, 1993. Release No. 33-6986 (April
1, 1993) [58 FR 18638]. We implemented the most recent update to the
Filer Manual on September 24, 2008. See Release No. 33-8956
(September 18, 2008) [73 FR 54943].
    \2\ This is the filer assistance software we provide filers
filing on the EDGAR system.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Filer Manual contains all the technical specifications for
filers to submit filings using the EDGAR system. Filers must comply
with the applicable provisions of the Filer Manual in order to assure
the timely acceptance and processing of filings made in electronic
format.\3\ Filers may consult the Filer Manual in conjunction with our
rules governing mandated electronic filing when preparing documents for
electronic submission.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ See Rule 301 of Regulation S-T (17 CFR 232.301).
    \4\ See Release No. 33-8956 (September 18, 2008) [73 FR 54943]
in which we implemented EDGAR Release 9.13. For a complete history
of Filer Manual rules, please see the cites therein.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In support of the potential rule regarding filing using XBRL and
the other revisions being made, the EDGAR system is scheduled to be
upgraded to Release 9.14 on December 15, 2008. Specifically for XBRL
support, EDGARLink is being updated to allow domestic and foreign large
accelerated filers that use U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting
Principles (GAAP) to provide to the Commission a new exhibit to their
filings for their reporting periods that end as per the details
specified in the final eXtensible Business Reporting Language (XBRL)
rule. All filings submitted to EDGAR must use the US GAAP 1.0 Final
taxonomy. As part of this update, EDGAR will be performing a set of
custom XBRL validation rules. Should a filing violate one of these
rules, EDGAR will notify the filer. Submissions using the ICI
taxonomies \5\ and older versions of US GAAP taxonomy will not be
validated using these additional rules.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ The Commission also proposed to tag mutual fund risk/return
summaries using XBRL. See Interactive Data for Mutual Fund Risk/
Return Summary (Proposing Release No. 33-8929). We are not proposing
changes to the EDGAR Filer Manual for the mutual fund XBRL rule at
this time, because it is anticipated that compliance with the rules
will not be required until 2010. The EDGAR Filer Manual will be
updated, to the extent necessary, before the compliance date for the
mutual fund XBRL rule.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    EDGARLink submission templates 1 and 3 are also being updated to
remove submission form types 10SB12B, 10SB12B/A, 10SB12G, 10SB12G/A,
10QSB, 10QSB/A, SB-1, SB-1/A, SB-1MEF, SB-2, SB-2/A, and SB-2MEF,
implementing the Commission's elimination of Forms SB-1, SB-2, 10-SB,
10-QSB, and 10-KSB in Release No. 33-8876 (Dec. 19, 2007). EDGARLink
submission template 3 was previously updated to add submission form
types SH-ER, SH-ER/A, SH-NT, and SH-NT/A. It is highly recommended that
filers download, install, and use the new EDGARLink software and
submission templates to ensure that submissions will be processed
successfully. Previous versions of the templates may not work properly.
Notice of the update has previously been provided on the EDGAR Filing
Web site and on the Commission's public Web site. The discrete updates
are reflected on the EDGAR Filing Web site and in the updated Filer
Manual, Volume II.
    The Commission will change the 8-K item 2.04 and 5.02 descriptions
for submission form types 8-K, 8-K/A, 8-K12B, 8-K12B/A, 8-K12G3, 8-
K12G3/A, 8-K15D5, and 8-K15D5/A. Item 2.04 will be called ``Triggering
Events That Accelerate or Increase a Direct Financial Obligation or an
Obligation-under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement.'' Item 5.02 will be
called ``Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of
Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements
of Certain Officers.''
    Some Form D screen elements and Form D functionality will be
updated. The Form D online application can be accessed from the EDGAR
OnlineForms/XML Web site (https://www.onlineforms.edgarfiling.sec.gov)
by logging in and selecting the ``File Form D'' link. Filers can also
log in by clicking the ``Would you like to File a Form D?'' link from
the EDGAR Portal Web site (http://www.portal.edgarfiling.sec.gov). The
changes will be as follows:
    The Form D-OMB Approval information will be corrected to reflect
the estimated average burden hours per response to be 4.0.
     The ``Accept'' and ``Decline'' buttons on the signature
page will be removed. When a filer clicks the Submit button, each
issuer identified is acknowledging that the contents of the filing are
true.
     The menu on the left side of the Form D screen will be
updated from ``FORM D SECTIONS'' to ``FORM D ITEMS.''
     Item 7--``Type of Filing'' will be updated so that the
``Date of First Sale'' will be enabled when the filing is an amendment
of a previous filing.
     Item 6 and Item 9: A warning message will appear when a
filer un-checks ``Pooled Investment Fund.'' Pooled Investment Fund will
be automatically checked by the system in Item 9 when the filer selects
Investment Company Act Section 3(c) in Item 6.
     The Print screen, Form Description box will be updated to
reflect that Form D is entitled ``Notice of Exempt Offering of
Securities.''
    The SRO options list in EDGARLink submission template 1, 2, and 3
will be updated to include FINRA and ARCA.
    The EDGARLite Form TA-2 (Annual Report of Transfer Agent activities
filed pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) is being updated
to add the ``Office of Thrift Supervision'' to the option list of
Appropriate Regulatory Agency (ARA). Validations associated with ARA
value and the registrants file number will be added for the ``Office of
Thrift Supervision'' such that the file number prefix must be ``085-''
and file number sequence number must be

between 10000 and 14999. In addition, the validation for the
``Comptroller of the Currency'' will be modified such that the file
number prefix must begin with ``085'' and have a sequence number
between 10000 and 14999.
    The EDGARLite Form TA-W (Notice of Withdrawal from Registration as
Transfer Agent) OMB expiration date displayed will be corrected to be
``July 30, 2011.''
    Along with adoption of the Filer Manual, we are amending Rule 301
of Regulation S-T to provide for the incorporation by reference into
the Code of Federal Regulations of today's revisions. This
incorporation by reference was approved by the Director of the Federal
Register in accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552(a) and 1 CFR Part 51.
    You may obtain paper copies of the updated Filer Manual at the
following address: Public Reference Room, U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission, 100 F Street, NE., Room 1520, Washington, DC 20549, on
official business days between the hours of 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. We will
post electronic format copies on the Commission's Web site; the address
for the Filer Manual is http://www.sec.gov/info/edgar.shtml. You may
also obtain copies from Thomson Financial, the paper document
contractor for the Commission, at<PHONE_NUMBER>.
    Since the Filer Manual relates solely to agency procedures or
practice, publication for notice and comment is not required under the
Administrative Procedure Act (APA).\6\ It follows that the requirements
of the Regulatory Flexibility Act \7\ do not apply.

    \6\ 5 U.S.C. 553(b).
    \7\ 5 U.S.C. 601-612.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The effective date for the updated Filer Manual and the rule
amendments is April 16, 2009. In accordance with the APA,\8\ we find
that there is good cause to establish an effective date less than 30
days after publication of these rules. The EDGAR system upgrade to
Release 9.14 is scheduled to become available on December 15, 2008. The
Commission believes that establishing an effective date less than 30
days after publication of these rules is necessary to coordinate the
effectiveness of the updated Filer Manual with the system upgrade.

BILLING CODE 8010-02-P


Hello TJ:

Just to follow up on our conversation today:

Kodak's TRI data for 2002 for both D/ Fs and total PACs was based upon analyses of sludge from our wastewater treatment facility and estimations of the concentration of solids in the effluent.

As I mentioned for D/ Fs, some more recent analyses of the effluent have confirmed that our estimates for these materials were very representative.

For PACs, we don't have very much profile data to go on. We have a single study ( 1995) that looked at three samples of sludge at one time point, but we wouldn't regard these to be representative of a typical profile.

Hope this ( finally!) answers your questions, and sorry for the earlier confusion.

Regards,

Derek Derek Guest, Ph. D. Director, Science & Technology Vice President, Health Safety & Environment Eastman Kodak Company 1100 Ridgeway Avenue Rochester, NY 14652 6256 ( 585) 722 3949

1 SF 83 SUPPORTING STATEMENT ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY STANDARDS OF PERFORMANCE National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants ( NESHAP) / Maximum Achievable Control Technology ( MACT), 40 CFR Part 63 Subpart S, Pulp and Paper Source Category  Process Operations 1. Identification of the Information Collection 1( a) Title of the Information Collection ICR for NESHAP  MACT Subpart S, Pulp and Paper Production Source Category  Process Operations 1( b) Short Characterization/ Abstract In general, all MACT standards require initial notifications, performance tests, and periodic reports. 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. These notifications, reports, and records are essential in determining compliance, and are required of all sources subject to MACT standards.

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.

The Maximum Achievable Control Technology ( MACT) standards for the Pulp and Paper Production Source Category were proposed on December 17, 1993, and promulgated on April 15, 1998. These standards apply to facilities that produce pulp, paper, or paperboard by employing kraft, soda, sulfite, semi chemical, or mechanical pulping processes using wood; or any process using secondary or non wood fiber and that emits 10 tons per year or more of any hazardous air pollutant or 25 tons per year or more of any combination of hazardous air pollutants. Affected sources are all the hazardous air pollutant emission points or the HAP emission points in the pulping and bleaching system for mechanical pulping processes using wood and any process using secondary or non wood fiber.

This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR Part 63 SUBPART S.

Approximately 162 sources are subject to the standard, and it is estimated that no new 2 sources will become subject to the standard in the next three years. It is further assumed that there is one affected facility per plant. These assumptions are based on the research conducted by EPA during the recent rule making. EPA is also aware that this industry is undergoing widespread consolidation and corporate restructuring, and that no new facilities are being built, though approximately 15% of the affected facilities will re build units in a given year.

Respondents are required to monitor and keep records of specific operating parameters for each control device and to perform and document periodic inspections of the closed vent and wastewater conveyance systems. All respondents must submit semi annual summary reports of monitored parameters. Respondents must submit an additional monitoring report during each quarter in which monitored parameters were outside the ranges established in the standard or during initial performance tests. A source identified to be out of compliance with the NESHAP will be required to submit quarterly reports until the Administrator is satisfied that the source has corrected its compliance problem.

The cost of this Information Collection Request for the 162 respondents subject to the standards is estimated at $ 3,128,838.

2. Need for and Use of the Collection 2( a) Need/ Authority for the Collection The EPA is charged under Section 112 of the Clean Air Act, as Amended, to establish standards of performance for each category or subcategory of major sources and area sources of hazardous air pollutants. These standards are applicable to new or existing sources of hazardous air pollutants and shall require the maximum degree of emission reduction. In addition, Section 114( a) states that the Administrator may require any owner or operator subject to any requirement of this Act 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 ( in accordance with such procedures or methods, at such locations, at such intervals, during such periods, and in such manner as the Administrator shall prescribe); ( 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."

In the Administrator's judgment, total hazardous air pollutants, which include: acetaldehyde, benzene, carbon disulfide, chloroform, formaldehyde, methanol, methyl ethyl ketone, toluene and xylenes emissions from Pulp and Paper Source Category  Process Operations cause or contribute to air pollution that may reasonably be anticipated to endanger public health or welfare. 3 Therefore, MACT standards were promulgated for this source category at 40 CFR Part 63 Subpart S.

2( b) Practical Utility/ Users of the Data The control of emissions of Total Hazardous Air Pollutants from Pulp and Paper Source Category  Process Operations requires not only the installation of properly designed equipment, but also the operation and maintenance of that equipment. Emissions of Total Hazardous Air Pollutants from Pulp and Paper Source Category  Process Operations result from the operation of the pulping, bleaching and wastewater handling units. These standards rely on the collection of total hazardous air pollutant emissions in enclosed and closed vent collection. The collected total HAP's are then either incinerated in a boiler or lime kiln or treated in a wastewater treatment system. HAP's captured from bleaching systems are controlled with a chlorine gas scrubber. Equipment inspection, performance tests, and leak detection and repair procedures are critical components of the standards. The required notifications are used to inform the Agency or delegated authority when a source becomes subject to the standard. The reviewing authority may then inspect the source to check if the pollution control system is properly installed and operated and that leaks are being detected and repaired and that the standard is being met. Performance test reports are needed as these are the Agency's record of a source's initial capability to comply with the emission standard, and serve as a record of the operating conditions under which compliance was achieved.

The semiannual reports are used for problem identification, as a check on source operation and maintenance, and for compliance determinations. The information generated by the recordkeeping and reporting requirements described in this ICR is used by the Agency to ensure that facilities affected by the MACT continue to operate their control equipment and achieve continuous compliance with the regulation. Adequate monitoring, recordkeeping, and reporting is necessary to ensure compliance with these standards, as required by the Clean Air Act. The information collected from recordkeeping and reporting requirements is also used for targeting inspections, and is of sufficient quality to be used as evidence in court.

3. Nonduplication, Consultations, and Other Collection Criteria The recordkeeping and reporting requested is required under 40 CFR Part 63 Subpart S.

3( a) Nonduplication If the standard has not been delegated, the information is sent to the appropriate EPA Regional Office. Otherwise, the information is sent directly to the delegated State or Local Agency. If a State or Local Agency has adopted their own similar regulation to implement the Federal Regulation, a copy of the report submitted to the State or Local agency can be sent to the Administrator in lieu of the report required by the Federal Standard. Therefore, no duplication 4 exists.

To minimize burden, much of the information the EPA would need to determine compliance would be recorded and retained on site at the facility. Such information would be reviewed by enforcement personnel during an inspection and would not need to be routinely reported to the EPA. In addition, in many cases the EPA has selected parameters for monitoring that are already monitored by facilities for other purposes.

Some of the facilities subject to this NESHAP will also be subject to requirements under the New Source Performance Standard ( NSPS) for kraft pulp mills, 40 CFR 60 Subpart BB. The burden requested for this NESHAP does not duplicate any of the burden accounted for under NSPS Subpart BB.

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 sent to the Administrator in lieu of the report required by the standards.

3( b) Public Notice Required Prior to ICR Submission to OMB An announcement of a public comment period for the renewal of this ICR was published in the Federal Register on February 1, 2001, ( 66 FR 8591); no comments were received.

3( c) Consultations No consultations were conducted..

3( d) Effects of Less Frequent Collection Less frequent information collection would decrease the margin of assurance that facilities are continuing to meet the required standards. Requirements for information gathering and recordkeeping are useful techniques to ensure that good operation and maintenance practices are applied and emission limitations are met. If the information required by these standards was collected less frequently, the likelihood of detecting poor operation and maintenance of control equipment and noncompliance would decrease.

3( e) General Guidelines None of these reporting or recordkeeping requirements violate any of the regulations established by OMB in 5 CFR 1320.6.

3( f) Confidentiality 5 The required information consists of emissions data and other information that have been determined not to be private. However, any information submitted to the Agency for which a claim of confidentiality is made will be safeguarded according to the Agency policies set forth in Title 40, Chapter 1, Part 2, Subpart B  Confidentiality of Business Information ( see 40 CFR 2; 41 FR 36902, September 1, 1976; amended by 43 FR 40000, September 8, 1978; 43 FR 42251, September 20, 1978; 44 FR 17674, March 23, 1979).

3( g) Sensitive Questions None of the reporting or recordkeeping requirements contain sensitive questions.

4. The Respondents and the Information Requested 4( a) Respondents/ SIC Codes Respondents are owners or operators of sources associated with the production of wood pulp, including but not limited to kraft, soda, sulfite, semi chemical, mechanical, non wood pulping, secondary fiber, or any combination of these types of pulping processes.

While it possible that some State Agencies to whom this regulation has been delegated may have established electronic means of reporting for their permittees the staff contacted by EPA had only knew only of regular mail submissions. Modern pulp and paper facilities employ distributive controls on their manufacturing process and have integrated many of the compliance record keeping and reporting requirements into their systems.

5. The Information Collected  Agency Activities, Collection Methodology, and Information Management 5( a) Agency Activities EPA conducts the following activities in connection with the acquisition, analysis, storage, and distribution of the required information.

Agency Activities Observe initial performance tests and repeat performance tests if necessary.

Review notifications and reports, including performance test reports, and excess emissions reports, required to be submitted by industry.

Audit facility records.

Input, analyze, and maintain data in the Aerometric Information Retrieval System ( AIRS) database.

5( b) Collection Methodology and Management Following notification of startup, the reviewing authority might inspect the source to determine whether the pollution control devices are properly installed and operated. Performance test reports are used by the Agency to discern a source's initial capability to comply with the emission standard, and note the operating conditions, such as, control device fire box temperature, 9 gas and liquid flow rates, production volume, wood species, under which compliance was achieved. Data and records maintained by the respondents are tabulated and published for use in compliance and enforcement programs. The semiannual reports are used for problem identification, as a check on source operation and maintenance, and for compliance determinations.

Information contained in the reports is entered into AIRS which is operated and maintained by EPA's Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards. AIRS is EPA's database for the collection, maintenance, and retrieval of compliance and annual emission inventory data for over 100,000 industrial and government owned facilities. EPA uses AIRS for tracking air pollution compliance and enforcement by Local and State regulatory agencies, and EPA Regional Offices and Headquarters. EPA and its delegated Authorities can edit, store, retrieve and analyze the data.

The records required by this regulation must be retained by the owner or operator for five years. Records must be kept on site for the first 2 years. For the remaining 3 years, the records must be stored on site or at a location where they can be readily accessed.

5( c) Small Entity Flexibility Approximately 20 percent of the industry are considered small business entities, defined as being independently owned and operated and not dominate in their field of operations. Even though the recordkeeping requirements are the same for small and large businesses, the Agency considers these requirements the minimum needed to ensure compliance and, therefore, cannot reduce them further for small businesses.

The recordkeeping and reporting requirements were selected within the context of this specific subpart and the specific process equipment and pollutant( s). The impact on small businesses was accounted for in the regulation development. The requirements reflect the burden on small businesses. Even though, the recordkeeping and reporting requirements are the same for small and larger businesses. To the extent that larger businesses can use economies of scale to reduce their burden, the overall burden will be reduced. The Agency considers these requirements the minimum needed to ensure compliance and, therefore, cannot reduce them further for small businesses.

5( d) Collection Schedule The specific frequency for each information collection activity within this request is shown in Table 2: Industry Burden.

6. Estimating the Burden and Cost of the Collection Table 2 documents the computation of individual burdens for the recordkeeping and reporting requirements applicable to the industry for each of the Subparts included in this ICR. The individual burdens are expressed under standardized headings believed to be consistent with the concept of burden under the Paperwork Reduction Act. Where appropriate, specific tasks and 10 major assumptions have been identified. To minimize burden, much of the information the EPA would need to determine compliance would be recorded and retained on site at the facility. Such information would be reviewed by enforcement personnel during an inspection and would not need to be routinely reported to the EPA. In addition, in many cases the EPA has selected parameters for monitoring that are already monitored by the industry for other purposes. Responses to this information collection are mandatory.

The 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.

6( a) Estimating Respondent Burden The average annual burden to industry over the next three years from these recordkeeping and reporting requirements is estimated at 50,232 ( from Table 2) total person hours. These hours are based on Agency studies and background documents from the development of the standards or test methods, Agency knowledge and experience with the MACT program, the previously approved ICR, and any comments received.

6( b) Estimating Respondent Costs ( i) Estimating Labor Costs This ICR uses the following labor rates: $ 78.54 per hour for Executive, Administrative, and Managerial, $ 55.34 per hour for Technical, and $ 35.64 per hour for Clerical. These rate( s) are from the United States Department of Commerce Bureau of Labor Statistics, March 2000, " Table 10. Private industry, by occupational and industry group." The rates are from column 1, " Total compensation." The wage rate( s) have been increase by 110% to account for the benefit packages available to those employed by private industry.

Managerial $ 78.54 ($ 37.40 + 110%) Technical $ 55.34 ($ 26.35 + 110%) Clerical $ 35.64 ($ 16.97 + 110%)

( ii) Estimating Capital and Operations and Maintenance Costs Since no continuous emission monitors are used to comply with this rule, the only type of industry costs associated with the information collection activity in the standards are labor costs and emission testing costs described below.

( iii) Capital/ Start up vs. Operating and Maintenance ( O& M) Costs Since this rule does not require any continuous emission monitoring or electronic data submittal, total capital costs are expected to be insignificant. Continuous monitoring requirements 11 are for parametric monitoring and these systems are already in place; therefore, no new equipment would be required by the recordkeeping and reporting requirements. Start up costs are expected to be attributed to emissions testing activities. It is assumed that all mills will contract a testing company to provide sampling and analytical services for air and water tests. Based on EPA's experience the testing methods required for this rule, the purchase of service for each method is estimated as follows: · Method 308  $ 12,000; · Method 26A  $ 8,500; · Method 304  $ 9,500; · Method 305  $ 14,000; and · Method 21  $ 2,500.

These estimates include labor, materials, and analytical costs. The number of mills assumed to contract testing companies for compliance is presented in Table 2. For the entire industry, the number of tests required annually for demonstrating compliance and the associated cost are estimated as follows:

· Method 308  2 Tests x $ 12,000 = $ 24,000 · Method 26A  0 Tests x $ 8,500 = 0 · Method 304  2 Tests x $ 9,500 = 19,000 · Method 305  5 Tests x $ 14,000 = 70,000 · Method 21 103 Tests x $ 2,500 = 257,500 TOTAL $ 370,500 Based on these estimates for testing costs and the number of mills assumed to perform compliance tests, the total annual cost to the industry is $ 370,500. The total cost for this 3 year ICR is $ 1,482,000. ($ 370,000 x 3 = $ 1,482,000)

6( c) Estimating Agency Burden and Cost The only Federal costs are user costs associated with analysis of the reported information. Publication and distribution of the information are part of the AIRS program. Examination of records to be maintained by the respondents will occur as part of the periodic inspection of sources, which is part of EPA's overall compliance and enforcement program.

The average annual Federal Government cost during the 3 years of the ICR is estimated to be $ 189,483 ( from Table 1). This cost is based on an hourly labor rate of $ 68.19 for managerial staff, $ 36.86 for technical staff, and $ 27.36 for administrative/ clerical staff. These rates are from OPM's 2001 General Schedule ( GS) base annual salary data, excluding locality pay, basic rates, and travel associated with compliance activities. To derive hourly estimates, we divided annual compensation estimates by 2,080 which is the average number of hours worked during the Federal calendar year. We then multiplied hourly rates by the standard government benefits multiplication factor of 1.6 to account for overhead expenses. Details upon which this estimate is based appear 12 in Table 1: Agency Burden.

6( d) Estimating the Respondent Universe and Total Burden and Costs Respondent Universe Regulation Title ( A) # new sources per year ( B) # of initial reports for new sources ( C) # existing sources ( D) # of reports for existing sources ( E) total annual responses National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants from the Pulp and Paper Industry 0 0 162 162 semi annual reports x 2 = 324 24 exceedance reports x 2 = 48 Other once annual reports = 128 ( notifications for: performance test, construction/ recons truction, anticipated startup, actual startup) 324+ 48+ 128 = 500 The number of total respondents is 162. This number is the sum of Column A and Column C of the Respondent Universe table. It is shown on the OMB 83 I form in block 13 a. This is the number of existing sources plus the number of new sources anticipated in one year.

The total annual responses is 500. This number is in column E of the Respondent Universe table. It is shown on the OMB 83 I form in block 13 b. The total annual labor hours are 50,232. This number is shown on the OMB 83 I form in block 13 c. Details upon which this estimate is based appear in Table 2: Industry Burden.

The total annual capital and O& M costs to the regulated entity are $ 370,000. This number is shown on the OMB 83 I form in block 14 c. These costs are detailed in section 6 b ( iii) Capital/ Start up vs. Operating and Maintenance ( O& M) Costs.

6( e) Bottom Line Burden Hours And Cost Tables For details on industry and agency burden see attached tables, Table 1 Annual Agency Burden and Cost of Record Keeping and Reporting requirements of the NESHAP for the Pulp and Paper Production Source Category   Process Operations and Table 2 Annual Respondent Burden and Cost of record Keeping and Reporting Requirements of the 13 NESHAP for the Pulp and Paper Production Source Category   Process Operations 6( f) Reasons for Change in Burden The decrease in burden from the most recently approved ICR is due to an adjustment.

( 1) The sharp reduction in burden for respondent facilities is due to the fact that nearly all sources have completed the required one time activities, such as initial performance tests, during the first 3 years of the ICR cycle, which corresponds to the compliance date of this MACT standard.

( 2) Adjustments have also been made to simplify the annual cost calculations, which are now calculated with simple averages instead of the amortization schedules used previously.

( 3) Adjustments to the labor rates used to estimate burden for this ICR also impacted the total costs.

( 4) Having made their initial notification, 331 facilities, the non bleaching MACT III mills, that were accounted for in the original ICR, have been eliminated from the respondent total since they have no further obligation under the MACT.

6( g) Burden Statement 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; 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. 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 are listed in 40 CFR Part 9 and 48 CFR Chapter 15.

Send comments on the Agency's need for this information, the accuracy of the provided burden estimates, and any suggested methods for minimizing respondent burden, including through the use of automated collection techniques to the Director, Collection Strategies Division, Office of Environmental Information ( OEI), U.
