This rule would modify the existing Facility Response Plan regulation (40 CFR part 112) as it applies to facilities that handle, store, or transport animal fats and vegetable oils. Because worst case discharges from approximately 63 animal fat and vegetable oil facilities could reasonably be expected to cause substantial harm to the enviroment, owners, and operators of these facilities are required to prepare and implement response plans.
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;
