This information collection is being conducted by EPA's Office of Air and Radiation (OAR) pursuant to section 114 of the Clean Air Act, as amended (CAA or the Act), to inform an upcoming rule reviewing the national emissions standards for hazardous air pollutants (NESHAP) for ethylene oxide (EtO) commercial sterilization aimed at reducing emissions and updating the standards to reflect developments in practices, processes, and control technologies as required by CAA section 112(d)(6). This is a one-time information collection. The NESHAP for EtO Commercial Sterilization and Fumigation Operations were finalized in December 1994 (59 FR 62585) at 40 CFR part 63, subpart O. The EPA completed a residual risk and technology review for the NESHAP in 2006 and concluded, at that time, that no revisions to the standards were necessary (71 FR 17712, April 7, 2006).
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that the collection of information encompassed by this request complies with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding the proposed collection of information, that the certification covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
