2684 Federal Register / Vol. 72, No.
13 / Monday, January 22, 2007 / Notices
Respondents/Affected Entities:
Owners or operators of iron and steel
foundries.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
98.
Frequency of Response: Initially, on
occasion, and semiannually.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:
29,747 hours.
Estimated Costs: $2,919,524, which
includes $0 annualized Capital Startup
costs, $400,060 annualized Operating &
Maintenance Costs (O&M), and
$2,519,464 annualized Labor Costs.
Changes in the Estimates: The
increase in burden of 7,422 hours from
the most recently approved ICR is due
primarily to the inclusion of burden
associated with existing sources
commencing to conduct periodic scrap
inspections and submitting periodic
compliance reports. The burden
associated with these activities has
offset any burden associated with
sources complying with the initial rule
requirements (i.e., install the required
emissions control and monitoring
equipment, conduct initial performance
tests, prepare the required written plans,
and provide the one-time notifications),
which was the basis for the burden
calculation in the previous ICR.
The increase of $127,460 in the total
annualized cost is primarily due to an
increase on the burden associated with
operations and maintenance (O&M) of
monitors. The O&M costs in the renewal
of this ICR renewal has offset the capital
costs associated with installation of the
necessary monitoring equipment, which
was the basis of the total annualized
cost calculation in the previous ICR.

The Child-Specific Exposure Factors
Handbook provides a summary of
statistical data on various exposure
factors used in assessing children’s
exposures. This Handbook serves as a
resource for exposure assessors for
calculating children’s exposures. These
factors include: drinking water
consumption, soil ingestion and
mouthing behavior, inhalation rates,
dermal factors including skin surface
area and soil adherence factors,
consumption of retail and home-grown
foods, breast milk intake, and activity
pattern data. An interim final version of
this handbook was published in 2002.
The updated version provides analysis
of exposure factors data using the age
groups for children as recommended in
the EPA document entitled, ‘‘Guidance
on Selecting Age Groups for Monitoring
and Assessing Childhood Exposures to
Environmental Contaminants’’ (EPA/
630/P–03/003F) (Available on line at
http://cfpub.epa.gov/ncea/cfm/
recordisplay.cfm?deid=146583).

Specific Exposure Factors Handbook’’
solely for the purpose of pre-
dissemination peer review under
applicable information quality
guidelines. This document has not been
formally disseminated by EPA. It does
not represent and should not be
construed to represent any Agency
policy or determination. EPA will
consider any public comments
submitted in accordance with this
notice when revising the document.
DATES: The 30-day public comment
period begins January 22, 2007, and
ends February 21, 2007. Technical
comments should be in writing and
must be received by EPA by February

Exposure Factors Handbook,’’ is
available primarily via the Internet on
