ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
[FRL-7235-5]
Agency Information Collection Activities: Request for Comments on
Twenty-Two Proposed Information Collection Requests (ICRs)
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: In compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501
et seq.), this document announces that EPA is planning to submit the
twenty-two continuing Information Collection Requests (ICRs) listed in
Section A of this notice to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB).
Before submitting the ICRs to OMB for review and approval, EPA is
soliciting comments on specific aspects of the information collections
as described at the beginning of the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION provided
in this notice.
DATES: Comments must be submitted on or before August 19, 2002.
ADDRESSES: Compliance Assessment and Media Programs Division, Office of
Compliance, Office of Enforcement and Compliance Assurance, Mail Code
2223A, United States Environmental Protection Agency, 1200 Pennsylvania
Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20460. A hard copy of a specific ICR may be
obtained without charge by calling the identified information contact
person listed in Section B under SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For specific information on an
individual ICR, contact the person listed in Section B under
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
For All ICRs
An Agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required
to respond to, a collection information unless it displays a currently
valid OMB control number. The OMB control numbers for EPA's regulations
are displayed in 40 CFR part 9.
The EPA would like to solicit comments to:
(i) Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the Agency,
including whether the information will have practical utility;
(ii) Evaluate the accuracy of the Agency's estimate of the burden
of the proposed collection of information;
(iii) Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information
to be collected; and
(iv) Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those
who respond through the use of automated, electronic, mechanical, or
other forms of information technology.
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.
In the absence of such information collection requirements,
enforcement personnel would be unable to determine whether the
standards are being met on a continuous basis, as required by the Clean
Air Act. Consequently, these information collection requirements are
mandatory, and the records required by New Source Performance Standards
(NSPS) and Federal Plan Requirements (FPR) must be retained by the
owner or operator for at least two years; records required by the
National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) must
be retained by the owner or operator for at least five years; and the
records required by the NESHAP Maximum Achievable Control Technology
standards (NESHAP-MACT) must be retained by the owner or operator for
at least five years. In general, the required information consists of
emissions data and other information deemed 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 part 2; 41 FR
36902, September 1, 1976; amended by 43 FR 39999, September 8, 1978; 43
FR 42251, September 28, 1978; 44 FR 17674, March 2, 1979).
The Agency computed the burden for each of the recordkeeping and
reporting requirements applicable to the industry for the currently
approved ICRs. Where applicable, the Agency identified specific tasks
and made assumptions, while being consistent with the concept of the
Paper Work Reduction Act.
Section A: List of ICRs To Be Submitted for OMB Review and Approval

Section C: Summaries of Individual ICRs
(1) NSPS subpart HH: NSPS for Lime Manufacturing (40 CFR part 60,
subpart HH); EPA ICR Number 1167.07; OMB Control Number 2060-0063;
expiration date January 31, 2003.
Affected Entities: Entities potentially affected by this action are
rotary lime kilns located at lime manufacturing plants subject to the
standards at 40 CFR part 60, subpart HH for which construction,
modification, or reconstruction commenced after May 3, 1977.
Abstract: The Administrator has determined that particulate matter
from lime manufacturing cause, or contribute significantly to air
pollution that may reasonably be anticipated to endanger public health
or welfare. Owners and operators of the affected facilities described
must make the following one-time-only reports: Notification of the date
of construction or reconstruction; notification of the anticipated and
actual startup dates; notification of any physical or operational
changes to an existing facility which may increase the regulated
pollutant emission rate; notification of the demonstration of the
continuous monitoring system (CMS); notification of the date of the
initial performance test; and the results of the initial performance
test.
Owners and 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.
Owners and operators of rotary kilns using a control device with
multiple stack exhaust or roof monitor may instead monitor visible
emissions at least once a day by a certified observer using EPA Method
9. Owners or operators of affected facilities using a wet scrubber
emission control device shall install, calibrate, maintain, and operate
a continuous monitoring device which monitors the pressure loss of the
gas stream through the scrubber, and a continuous monitoring device
which monitors the scrubbing liquid supply pressure to the control
device.
Semiannual excess emissions reports and monitoring system
performance reports shall include all six-minute periods during which
the average opacity of the visible emissions from any lime kiln is
greater than 15% or for wet scrubbers, any period in which the scrubber
pressure drop is greater than 30% below the rate established during the
performance test, and reports of the visible emissions; the date and
time of
[[Page 41984]]
the exceedance or deviance; the nature and the cause of the malfunction
and corrective measures taken; and identification of the time period
during which the CMS was inoperative.
Burden Statement: In the previously approved ICR, the estimated
number of respondents for this information collection was 49 with 102
responses per year. The annual industry reporting and recordkeeping
burden for this collection of information was 4,190 hours. On the
average, each respondent reported approximately two times per year and
41 hours were spent preparing each response. The total annual reporting
and recordkeeping cost burden for this collection of information was
$95,000. This included an annual cost of $22,000 associated with
capital/startup costs and $73,000 associated with the annual operation
and maintenance costs.
(2) NSPS subpart I: NSPS for Hot Mix Asphalt Facilities (40 CFR
part 60, subpart I); EPA ICR Number 1127.07; OMB Control Number 2060-
0083; expiration date January 31, 2003.
Affected Entities: Entities potentially affected by this action are
hot mix asphalt facilities subject to 40 CFR part 60, subpart I and
include the following processes: Dryers; systems for screening,
handling, storing, and weighing hot aggregate; systems for loading,
transferring, and storing mineral filler; systems for mixing hot
asphalt; and the loading, transfer and storage systems associated with
emission control systems which commenced construction, modification, or
reconstruction after June 11, 1973.
Abstract: The Agency has determined that particulate matter from
lime manufacturing causes, or contributes significantly to air
pollution that may reasonably be anticipated to endanger public health
or welfare. Owners or operators of the affected facilities described
must make the following one-time-only reports: notification of the date
of construction or reconstruction; notification of the anticipated and
actual date of the startup; notification of any physical or operational
change to an existing facility which may increase the regulated
pollutant emission rate; and notification of the date of the initial
performance test including information necessary to determine the
conditions of the performance test measurements and results, such as
particulate matter concentration and opacity. 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 as well as the nature and cause of the malfunction and
corrective measures taken.
Burden Statement: In the previously approved ICR, the estimated
number of respondents for this information collection was estimated to
be 3,290 with 200 responses per year. The annual recordkeeping and
reporting hour burden for this collection was estimated to be 6,890
hours. On the average, each respondent reported approximately 0.06
times per year and 34 hours were spent preparing each response. There
are no capital/startup costs or operation and maintenance costs
associated with continuous emission monitoring in the previous ICR;
therefore, there are no capital, or operation and maintenance costs
associated with this ICR.
(3) NSPS subpart Ce: Emission Guidelines for Hospital/Medical/
Infectious Waste Incinerators (40 CFR part 60, subpart Ce); EPA ICR
Number 1899.02; OMB Control Number 2060-0422; expiration date January
31, 2003.
Affected Entities: Entities potentially affected by this action are
owners and operators of hospital/medical/infectious waste incinerators
(HMIWI) for which construction commenced before June 20, 1996 and
States and Tribes who develop State or Tribal plans to implement the
Emission Guidelines.
Abstract: The Agency has determined that particulate matter, carbon
monoxide, dioxins/furans, and mercury from hospital/medical/infectious
waste incinerators cause or contribute to air pollution that may
reasonably be anticipated to endanger public health or welfare.
The Emission Guidelines contain monitoring, reporting, and
recordkeeping requirements that are to be included in State or Tribal
plans. These requirements differ for HMIWI burning hospital waste and/
or medical/infectious waste; for combustors co-firing hospital waste
and/or medical/infectious waste with other fuels; and for incinerators
burning only pathological, low-level radioactive, and/or
chemotherapeutic waste.
Owners and operators of HMIWI are required to submit one-time-only
increments of progress reports showing progress toward meeting the new
emissions limitations. Owners and operators of HMIWI are also required
to submit annual and semiannual compliance reports on a variety of
site-specific operating parameters malfunction episodes, exceedances,
and performance tests. For small rural HMIWI, an annual report
containing information recorded during the annual equipment inspection
is also required. Owners and operators of co-fired combustors are
required to provide the Administrator with notification reports on an
exemption claim and report and maintain records on the weight of
hospital waste and medical/infectious, and other fuels and/or wastes to
be combusted. Owners and operators of incinerators burning only
pathological, low-level radioactive, and/or chemotherapeutic waste are
required to provide notification reports to Administrator of an
exemption claim.
The information will be used by the appropriate State, Tribal or
EPA enforcement official to ensure that the requirements of the State,
Tribal, or Federal Plan are being implemented on a continuous basis
through proper operation and maintenance of the emission control
device. In addition, certain records and reports are necessary to
enable the Administrator to identify an HMIWI that may not be in
compliance with the standards.
Burden Statement: In the previously approved ICR, the estimated
number of respondents for this information collection was 537 with
1,146 responses per year. The annual industry reporting and
recordkeeping burden for this collection of information was 133,404
hours. On the average, each respondent reported approximately 2.1 times
per year and 116 hours were spent preparing each response. There are no
capital/startup costs or operations and maintenance costs associated
with continuous emission monitoring in the previous ICR; therefore,
there are no capital, or operation and maintenance costs associated
with this ICR.
(4) NSPS subpart DD: New Source Performance Standards for Grain
Elevators (40 CFR part 60, subpart DD); EPA ICR Number 1130.07; OMB
Control Number 2060-0082, expiration date January 31, 2003.
Affected Entities: Potentially affected facilities include each
truck unloading station, truck loading station, barge and ship
unloading station, barge and ship loading station, railcar unloading
station, railcar loading station, grain dryer, and all grain handling
operations at any grain terminal elevator or any grain storage
elevator.
The standards require owners or operators of the affected
facilities to make the following one-time-only reports: Notification of
the date of construction or reconstruction; notification of the actual
date of startup; notification of any physical or operational change to
an existing facility that may increase the rate of emission of the
regulated pollutant; notification of the date of the initial
performance test; and the results of the initial performance test.
Records must be maintained of the occurrence and
[[Page 41985]]
duration of any startup, shutdown, or malfunction in the operation of
an affected facility, as well as the nature and cause of the
malfunction and corrective measures taken.
Burden Statement: In the previously approved ICR, the estimated
number of respondents for this information collection was 121 with 121
responses per year. The annual industry reporting and recordkeeping
burden for this collection of information was 250 hours. On the
average, each respondent reported approximately two times per year and
two hours were spent preparing each response. There are no capital/
startup costs or operations and maintenance costs associated with
continuous emission monitoring in the previous ICR; therefore, there
are no capital, or operation and maintenance costs associated with this

(5) NSPS subpart EE: NSPS for Metal Furniture Coating (40 CFR part
60, subpart EE); EPA ICR Number 0649.08; OMB Control Number 2060-0106;
expiration date January 31, 2003.
Affected Entities: Entities potentially affected by this action are
each metal furniture surface coating operation in which organic
coatings are applied. These standards apply to surface coating
facilities for which construction, modification or reconstruction
commenced after the date of proposal, November 28, 1980. A surface
coating operation includes the coating application station(s), flash-
off area, and curing oven.
Abstract: The Agency has determined that the emissions from surface
coating operations cause, or contribute significantly to air pollution
that may reasonably be anticipated to endanger public health or
welfare. Volatile organic compounds (VOC) are the pollutants regulated
under this rule. Owners and operators of the affected facilities
described must make the following one-time only reports: notification
of the date of construction or reconstruction; notification of the
anticipated and actual dates of a startup; notification of any physical
or operational change to an existing facility which may increase the
regulated pollutant emission rate; notification of the date of the
initial performance test; and results of the initial performance test.
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.
Recordkeeping and reporting requirements include the performance
test results including the type of coating used, and the VOC content.
The rule requires daily records of temperature if thermal incineration
is used. For catalytic incineration, daily records of gas stream
temperature both upstream and downstream are required, or a daily
record of the quantity of solvent recovered if a solvent recovery
device is used. Monthly averages are calculated, and any affected
facility shall report quarterly on any excess emissions, or
semiannually if no excess emissions occur. Any owner or operator
subject to the provisions of the rule, shall maintain at the source,
for a period of at least two years, records of all data calculations
used to determine monthly VOC emissions from each affected facility and
to determine the monthly emissions limit, where applicable.

(8) NSPS subpart TT: NSPS for Metal Coil Surface Coating (40 CFR
part 60, subpart TT); EPA ICR Number 0660.08; OMB Control Number 2060-
0107; expiration date January 31, 2003.
Affected Entities: Entities potentially affected by this standard
are operations that are part of metal coil coating manufacturing
including: each prime coat operation; each finish coat operation; and
each prime and finish coat operation cured simultaneously where the
finish coat is applied wet-on-wet over the prime coat. These standards
apply to metal coil surface coating facilities commencing construction,
modification or reconstruction after January 5, 1981.
Abstract: The Agency has determined that the emissions from metal
coil surface coating facilities cause, or contribute significantly to
air pollution that may reasonably be anticipated to endanger public
health or welfare. Volatile organic compounds (VOC) are the pollutants
regulated under the standards. Owners or operators of the affected
facilities must make the following one-time-only reports: Notification
of the date of construction or reconstruction; notification of the
anticipated and actual dates of a startup; notification of any physical
or operational change to an existing facility which may increase the
regulated pollutant emission rate; notification of the date of the

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.
Recordkeeping requirements depend on whether low VOC content
coatings are used, or higher VOC content coatings are used in
conjunction with an emission control device. Where compliance is
achieved through the use of low VOC-content coating without emission
control devices, or through the use of higher VOC content coating in
conjunction with emission control devices, each owner or operator shall
include in the initial compliance report the weighted average of the
VOC content of coatings used during the period of one calender month
for each affected facility. Where compliance is achieved using an
emission control device that destroys VOC, each owner or operator shall
include in the initial compliance report the overall VOC destruction
rate used to attain compliance and the combustion temperature of the
thermal incinerator, or the gas temperature both upstream and
downstream of the incinerator catalyst bed. The standards also require
reports of incinerator temperature drop. Affected facilities shall
report quarterly excess emissions or semiannual reports if no emissions
occur.

(10) NESHAP subpart FF: NESHAP for Benzene Emissions for Benzene
Waste Operations (40 CFR part 61, subpart FF); EPA ICR Number 1541.07;
OMB Number 2060-0183; expiration date February 28, 2003.
Affected Entities: Entities potentially affected by this action are
benzene waste operations such as chemical manufacturing plants, coke
by-product recovery plants, and petroleum refineries. Other affected
entities are those owners and operators of hazardous waste treatment,
storage, and disposal facilities (TSD) which receive wastes from the
above facilities.
Abstract: The Agency has determined that the emissions from benzene
waste operations cause, or contribute significantly to air pollution
that may reasonably be anticipated to endanger public health or
welfare. The provisions of this subpart apply to owners and operators
of chemical manufacturing plants, coke by-product recovery plants, and
petroleum refineries. In addition, this standard applies to owners and
operators of hazardous waste treatment, storage, and disposal
facilities that treat, store, or dispose of hazardous waste generated
from the above facilities.
The calculation of total annual benzene (TAB) quantity in all
aqueous waste streams determines whether a facility is subject to
control requirements of the standard. A facility at or above the TAB
threshold in the rule of 10 megagrams per year (Mg/yr) is required to
control each benzene waste stream at the facility or demonstrate that
the waste stream meets a criterion in the rule for exemption from
control. A facility with a TAB below 10 Mg/yr is only subject to the
rule's reporting and recordkeeping provisions, unless the facility
receives a waste from offsite that must be controlled to meet the
standards in which case that waste must be controlled. A facility with
a TAB less than 1 Mg/yr is only subject to maintain documentation of
the quantity of benzene in the waste.
Owners or operators of the affected facilities described above must
make the following one-time-only notices or reports: notifications of
anticipated and actual startup; notification of emission test, report
following an emission test; notification of any physical/operational
changes that could increase emissions, a monitoring system performance
test; and certain reports regarding the monitoring system performance
test(s).
Recordkeeping requirements for benzene waste operations include
maintaining records that identify each waste stream at the facility
subject to this subpart, and indicate whether the waste stream is
controlled for benzene emissions in accordance with this standard. In
addition the owner or operator must maintain the records: (1) For each
waste stream not controlled for benzene emissions, (2) for each process
wastewater stream not controlled for benzene emissions, (3) for each
facility where process wastewater streams are controlled for benzene
emissions, (4) for each facility where wastewater streams are
controlled for benzene emissions. Owners or operators transferring
waste offsite to another facility for treatment shall maintain
documentation for each offsite waste shipment, and engineering design
documentation for all control equipment installed on the waste
management unit. The documentation shall be retained for the life of
the control equipment.
Burden Statement: In the previously approved ICR, the estimated
number of respondents for this information collection was 240 with 240
responses per year. The annual industry reporting and recordkeeping
burden for this collection of information was 17,028 hours. On the
average, each respondent reported approximately one time per year and
71 hours were spent preparing each response. There are no capital/
startup costs or operations and maintenance costs associated with
continuous emission monitoring in the previous ICR; therefore, there
are no capital, or operation and maintenance costs associated with this
ICR.
(11) NSPS subpart AAAA: Reporting and Recordkeeping Requirements
for the New Source Performance Standards for Small Municipal Waste
Combustors (40 CFR part 60, subpart AAAA) EPA ICR 1900.02; OMB Control
Number 2060-0423; expiration date February 28, 2003.
Affected Entities: Entities potentially affected by this action are
owners or operators of small municipal waste combustors (MWC) units
with capacities greater than 35 tons per day, but less than 250 tons
per day for which commenced construction after August 30, 1999, or
commenced modification, or reconstruction after June 6, 2001.
Abstract: The Agency has determined that the emissions from small
municipal waste combustors cause, or contribute significantly to air
pollution that may reasonably be anticipated to endanger public health
or welfare. Small MWCs emit toxic organics, metals, acid gases, carbon
monoxide and fugitive ash owners. Owners or operators must conduct
initial compliance tests and compliance demonstrations for all
pollutants, operating parameters, and continuous monitoring systems.
Annual performance tests and continuous monitoring systems (CEMS) for
certain pollutants and operating parameters is also required. Owners or
operators of small MWC units must submit an initial compliance report
for all regulated pollutants and parameters. Once a year, owners or
operators must submit an annual report that indicates the highest
emission level determined during the annual test or recorded using the
CEMS for all regulated pollutants. The report must also include the
lowest calculated hourly carbon feed rate.
If the emission level recorded for any of these pollutants is above
the emission limit for the pollutant, or if any operating parameter is
outside a specified range, then the owner or operator is required to
submit a semiannual report for the calendar half during which the test
was conducted or data was collected. The standards include provisions
that would allow less frequent reporting if certain criteria are met.
Owners or operators of small MWC units are required to keep records
of certain parameters, and maintain records of employees names and
dates of their initial and annual review of the site-specific operating
manual parameters. Records of continuous measurements of MWC unit load,
the particulate matter control device temperature, and computation of
average emissions and operating parameters, as well as opacity
measurements are required. Owners or
[[Page 41988]]
operators are also required to maintain records that identify the date,
operating parameters, and opacity level exceedances, with reasons and a
description of corrective action. Owners or operators are required to
keep records of results of daily sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, and
carbon monoxide, CEMS drift tests, and quarterly accuracy assessments.
Owners or operators are required to maintain records of initial
performance tests and all annual performance retests for compliance
with particulate matter, dioxins/furans, hydrochloric acid (HCl),
cadmium, lead, and mercury limits. Owners or operators also maintain
records of periodic testing for fugitive ash emissions.
Burden Statement: In the previously approved ICR, the estimated
number of respondents for this information collection was 3 with 6
responses per year. The annual industry reporting and recordkeeping
burden for this collection of information was 8,559 hours. On the
average, each respondent reported approximately two times per year and
1,427 hours were spent preparing each response. The total annual
reporting and recordkeeping cost burden for this collection of
information was $219,000. This included an annual cost of $200,000
associated with capital/startup costs and $19,000 associated with the
annual operation and maintenance costs.
(12) NSPS subpart BBBB: Emission Guidelines Reporting and
Recordkeeping Requirements for Existing Small Municipal Waste
Combustion (MWC) Units (40 CFR part 60, subpart BBBB); EPA ICR Number
1901.02; OMB Control Number 2060-0424; expiration date February 28,
2003.
Affected Entities: Respondents are owners or operators of existing
small MWC units. Small MWC units are units with capacities to combust
greater than 35 tons per day and less than 250 tons per day of
municipal solid waste.
Abstract: The Agency has determined that the emissions from small
municipal waste combustion units, cause or contribute significantly to
air pollution that may reasonably be anticipated to endanger public
health or welfare. Owners and operators of MWCs that have retrofit
schedules longer than one year are required to submit reports or
notifications documenting increments of progress.
Owners or operators are required to conduct initial compliance
tests and compliance demonstrations for all pollutants and parameters,
as well as continuous monitoring or annual retests of all pollutants
and parameters, unless the owner or operator qualifies for less
frequent dioxin/furan testing. As a means of determining continuous
compliance for mercury and dioxin/furan, owners or operators are
required to keep records of the quarterly amount of activated carbon
injected, and to calculate the average carbon injection rate for each
hour of operation.
Owners or operators of small MWC units are required to submit an
initial compliance report for all regulated pollutants and parameters.
Once a year, owners or operators of small MWC units are required to
submit an annual report for all regulated pollutants and parameters
that summarizes data collected for all pollutants and parameters
regulated under the standard. Owners or operators are required to
submit an annual report that indicates the highest emission level
determined during the annual test, or recorded using continuous
emissions monitoring systems, load level, control device inlet
temperature, and opacity. If the emission level recorded for any of
these pollutants shows emissions above the emission limit for the
pollutant, or a calculated carbon injection rate below the carbon
injection rate established during the mercury or dioxin/furan annual
retest, then the owner or operator is required to submit a semiannual
report for the calendar half during which the test was conducted or
data were collected, and the report is required to include the
supporting data or test report and an explanation for the exceedances.
Owners or operators are not required to submit test reports, or raw
CEMS data unless a pollutant or parameter is recorded as exceeding the
emission limit for the pollutant or parameter.
If three annual compliance tests in a row indicate compliance with
the particulate matter (PM), dioxin/furan, hydrochloric acid (HCl),
cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb), and/or mercury (Hg) emission limits, then
owners or operators of small MWC units (where the aggregate plant
capacity is less than 250 tons per year) may skip the annual
performance test for that particular pollutant for the next two years.
If the next test after skipping two years shows compliance, another
two-year period may be skipped. At a minimum, performance tests for PM,
dioxins/furans, HCl, Cd, Pb, and Hg are required by small MWC plants
every 3 years. In all cases, annual tests for opacity and fly ash/
bottom ash fugitive emissions are required and may not be skipped. In
addition, a provision for less frequent dioxin/furan testing allows
plants to test only one unit per year rather than all units, as is
normally required, if all units at the plant achieve emission levels
significantly lower than the emission limit for two consecutive years.
It is believed that most units will qualify for this option.
Under the standards, owners or operators of affected units are
required to keep records of the following information: (1) Employees
names and dates of their initial and annual review of the site-specific
operating manual; (2) emission rates and CEMS parameters for nitrogen
oxides, sulfur dioxides, carbon monoxide, oxygen, carbon dioxide, and
opacity; (3) continuous measurements of small MWC unit load and PM
control device temperature, and computation of average emissions and
operating parameters; (4) the date and operating parameters of any
opacity level exceedances, with reasons and a description of corrective
action; (5) results of daily SO2, NOX, and CO
CEMS drift tests and quarterly Appendix F accuracy assessments; (6)
records of initial performance tests and all annual performance retests
for compliance with PM, dioxin/furan, HCl, Cd, Pb, and Hg limits; and
(7) records of periodic testing for fugitive ash emissions.
Burden Statement: In the previously approved ICR, the estimated
number of respondents for this information collection was estimated to
be 41 with 90 responses per year. The annual recordkeeping and
reporting hour burden for this collection was estimated to be 1,297
hours. On the average each respondent reported 2.2 times per year. For
each new facility, the initial notifications and performance test
require approximately 14 hours. There are no capital/startup costs or
operations and maintenance costs associated with continuous emission
monitoring in the previous ICR; therefore, there are no capital, or
operation and maintenance costs associated with this ICR.

records of the occurrence and duration of any startup, shutdown, or
malfunction in the operation of an affected. Recordkeeping includes the
initial performance test results including information necessary to
determine the conditions of the performance test, and performance test
measurements and results, including monitoring each potential source of
asbestos emissions for visible emissions to the outside air and
inspecting air cleaning devices to ensure proper operation. The
reporting requirements include the initial notifications listed, the
initial performance test results, and quarterly reports of instances
when visible emissions are observed.
Persons conducting demolitions and renovations must notify the
Agency, in advance, of the initiation of any asbestos removal work. The
demolition and renovation standard requires that a representative
trained in the provisions of the standard be present at the facility.
Evidence that the required training has been completed is required. The
provisions require that all containers of asbestos waste be labeled
including the
[[Page 41990]]
name of the waste generator and the location of where the waste was
generated. Owners or operators of demolitions and renovations are
required to prepare and maintain records of each waste shipment as to
its destination, the quantity of waste, and the date of shipment, and
to furnish a copy of the record to disposal site owners or operators.
The regulation also requires that the generators of asbestos waste
attempt to reconcile instances in which a signed copy of the waste
shipment record is not received from the disposal site and that the
generator notify the Administrator if delivery to the disposal site
cannot be confirmed.
Owners and operators of waste disposal sites are required to
document all asbestos waste shipments that are received and send a copy
of each record back to the generator. A record of the location and
quantity of asbestos in the landfill is required as well as noting the
presence and location of asbestos in the landfill property deed.
Disposal site owners and operators have to report to the Administrator
any discrepancies between the amount of waste designated on the waste
shipment record and the amount actually received, as well as instances
of improperly contained waste. An owner or operator of an operation in
which asbestos-containing materials are spray-applied must notify the
Administrator in advance of the spraying operation. The notice provides
information on the name and address of the owner or operator, location
of the spraying operation, and procedures to be followed.
Burden Statement: In the previously approved ICR, the estimated
number of respondents for this information collection was estimated to
be 10,647 with 134,340 responses per year. The annual recordkeeping and
reporting hour burden for this collection was estimated to be 362,159
hours. On the average each respondent reported 12.6 times per year, and
2.7 hours were spent preparing each response. There are no capital/
startup costs or operations and maintenance costs associated with
continuous emission monitoring in the previous ICR; therefore, there
are no capital, or operation and maintenance costs associated with this
ICR.
(17) NESHAP-MACT subpart VVV: NESHAP for Publicly Owned Treatment
Works (POTWs) (40 CFR part 63, subpart VVV); EPA ICR Number 1891.03;
OMB Number 2060-0428; expiration date February 28, 2003.
Affected Entities: Entities potentially affected by this action are
POTWs that are major sources of hazardous air pollutants, become a
major source after October 29, 1999, or reconstruct the treatment
plant.
Abstract: The Agency has determined that the emissions from
publicly owned treatment works cause, or contribute significantly to
air pollution that may reasonably be anticipated to endanger public
health or welfare.
The required recordkeeping and reporting enable the Administrator
to: (1) Identify new sources subject to the standards, and (2) to
ensure that the POTWs affected by the standards comply with the
applicable regulations. The reports are used by the Administrator to:
(1) Identify new HAP emission points subject to the standards, (2)
identify the emission control devices and control methodologies being
applied, and (3) ensure that the emission control devices and control
methodologies are being properly operated and maintained on a
continuous basis.
Burden Statement: The standards require no additional control
requirements for existing major sources. In the previously approved
ICR, the estimated number of respondents for this information
collection was estimated to be one with one response per year. The
annual recordkeeping and reporting hour burden for this collection was
estimated to be 41 hours. On the average each respondent reported one
time per year, and 41 hours were spent preparing each response. There
are no capital/startup costs or operations and maintenance costs
associated with continuous emission monitoring in the previous ICR;
therefore, there are no capital, or operation and maintenance costs
associated with this ICR.
(18) NSPS subpart BB: New Source Performance Standards for Kraft
Pulp Mills (40 CFR part 60, subpart BB); EPA ICR Number 1055.07; OMB
Control Number 2060-0021; expiration date February 28, 2003.
Affected Entities: Entities potentially affected by this action are
affected facilities at kraft pulp mills including digester systems,
brown stock washer systems, multiple effect evaporator systems,
recovery furnaces, smelt dissolving tanks, lime kilns, and condensate
stripper systems that were constructed, modified or reconstructed after
September 24, 1976. In pulp mills where kraft pulping is combined with
neutral sulfite semi-chemical pulping, the provisions of this subpart
are applicable when any portion of the material charged to an affected
facility is produced by the kraft pulping operation. A facilities may
be exempt from the total reduced sulfur (TRS) standard if the facility
can demonstrate that TRS from a new, modified or reconstructed brown
stock washer cannot be technically nor economically feasiblely
controlled.
Abstract: The Agency has determined that total reduced sulfur (TRS)
and particulate matter emissions from kraft pulp mills cause or
contribute to air pollution that may reasonably be anticipated to
endanger public health or welfare.
In addition to the monitoring, recordkeeping and reporting
requirements listed in the General Provisions (40 CFR part 60, subpart
A), sources are required to record, at least once per shift, the
following specific parameters: The opacity of the gases discharged into
the atmosphere from any recovery furnace; the concentration of TRS
emissions on a dry basis and the percent of oxygen by volume on a dry
basis in the gases discharged into the atmosphere; for an incinerator,
the combustion temperature at the point of incineration of effluent
gases being emitted by the affected facilities; and for any lime kiln
or melt discharge tank using a scrubber emission control device, the
pressure loss of the gas stream through the control equipment and the
scrubbing liquid pressure to the control equipment. Sources are also
required to record on a daily basis 12-hour average TRS concentrations
and oxygen concentrations (for the recovery furnace and lime kiln) for
two consecutive periods of each operating. Sources must report
semiannually measurements of excess emissions as defined by the
standard for the applicable affected facility.
Burden Statement: In the previously approved ICR, the estimated
number of respondents for this information collection was 82 with 170
responses per year. The annual industry reporting and recordkeeping
burden for this collection of information was 9,959 hours. On the
average, each respondent reported approximately 2.1 times per year and
59 hours were spent preparing each response. The total annual reporting
and recordkeeping cost burden for this collection of information was
$2,828,000. This included an annual cost of $300,000 associated with
capital/startup costs and $2,528,000 associated with the annual
operation and maintenance costs.
(19) NSPS subpart HHH: New Source Performance Standards for
Synthetic Fiber Production Facilities (40 CFR part 60, subpart HHH);
EPA ICR Number 1156.09; OMB Control Number 2060-0059; expiration date
January 31, 2003.
Affected Entities: Entities potentially affected by this rule are
each solvent-spun synthetic fiber process that produces more than 500
megagrams of
[[Page 41991]]
fiber per year and that commenced construction or reconstruction after
November 23, 1982. The provisions of this subpart do not apply to any
facility that uses the reaction spinning process to produce spandex
fiber or the viscose process to produce rayon fiber, nor to facilities
that commence modification but not reconstruction after November 23,
1982.
Abstract: The Agency has determined that volatile organic compounds
emissions from synthetic fiber production facilities contribute to air
pollution that may reasonably be anticipated to endanger public health
or welfare.
In addition to the monitoring, recordkeeping and reporting
requirements listed in the General Provisions (40 CFR part 60, subpart
A), sources are required to submit the results of subsequent
performance test results and any correction action taken, if they
indicate that volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions exceed the
standard, on a quarterly basis after the initial performance test. If
no exceedances occur, sources must submit a report semiannually.
Burden Statement: In the previously approved ICR, the estimated
number of respondents for this information collection was 31 with 85
responses per year. The annual industry reporting and recordkeeping
burden for this collection of information was 2,696 hours. On the
average, each respondent reported approximately 2.7 times per year and
32 hours were spent preparing each response. The total annual reporting
and recordkeeping cost burden for this collection of information was
$228,000. This included an annual cost of $3,000 associated with
capital/startup costs and $225,000 associated with the annual operation
and maintenance costs.
(20) NESHAP-MACT subpart AAAA: Federal Emission Guidelines for
Existing Municipal Solid Waste Landfills (40 CFR part 63, subpart
AAAA); EPA ICR Number 1893.03; OMB Control Number 2060-0430; expiration
date February 28, 2003.
Affected Entities: Entities potentially affected by this action are
owners or operators of existing municipal solid waste landfills that
are located in any State for which a State plan has not been approved
and become effective.
Abstract: The Agency has determined that the emissions from
municipal solid waste landfills cause, or contribute significantly to
air pollution that may reasonably be anticipated to endanger public
health or welfare. The Administrator is charged under Section 111 of
the Clean Air Act (CAA) to establish procedures for each State to
submit a plan that would establish standards of performance for any
existing source for any air pollutant. If the State has not developed
such a plan, then the Administrator may require any person who owns or
operates any emission source or is subject to any requirements of the
CAA, to establish and maintain reports; make reports; install, use, and
maintain monitoring equipment or methods; sample emissions; and provide
any other information as required.
All owners and operators of existing municipal solid waste
landfills must submit an initial design capacity report. If the design
capacity of an existing landfill is equal to or greater than 2,500,000
megagrams in weight and equal to or greater than 2,500,000 cubic meters
in volume, the owner or operator is required to determine the
facility's nonmethane organic compound (NMOC) emission rate. Based on a
three-tier calculation system, the owner or operator will either
install a collection and control system or perform testing at the next
tier level to recalculate the annual NMOC emission rate. If the NMOC
emission rate is determined to be less than 50 megagrams per year (Mg/
yr), using Tier 1, Tier 2, or Tier 3 calculations, no further
calculations or testing is required for that year.
For landfills required to install collection and control systems,
submission of a collection and control system design plan is required.
After review of the design plan and installation of the collections and
control system, and initial performance test and report for the system
is required. There after, annual compliance reports are required.
Owners or operators are required to keep continuous monitoring records
of the parameters reported in the initial performance report and
records of monthly monitoring of surface methane concentration.
Burden Statement: In the previously approved ICR, the estimated
number of respondents for this information collection was 3,837 with
384 responses per year. The annual industry reporting and recordkeeping
burden for this collection of information was 15,110 hours. On the
average, each respondent reported approximately 0.10 times per year and
39 hours were spent preparing each response. The total annual reporting
and recordkeeping cost burden for this collection of information was
$890,000. This included an annual cost of $788,000 associated with
capital/startup costs and $102,000 associated with the annual operation
and maintenance costs.
(21) NSPS subpart JJJ: New Source Performance Standard for
Petroleum Dry Cleaners (40 CFR part 60, subpart JJJ); EPA ICR Number
0997.07; and OMB Control Number 2060-0079; expiration date March 31,
2003.
Affected Entities: Entities potentially affected by this action are
petroleum solvent dry cleaning dryers, washers, filters, stills and
settling tanks located at petroleum dry cleaning plants.
Abstract: The Administrator has determined that volatile organic
compounds (VOC) emissions from petroleum dry cleaners cause or
contribute to air pollution that may reasonably be anticipated to
endanger public health or welfare. Owners or operators of the affected
facilities must conduct a performance test to demonstrate compliance
with the applicable emission limitation and retain the results of that
test for two years.
Burden Statement: In the previously approved ICR, the estimated
number of respondents for this information collection was estimated to
be 18 with 93 responses per year. The annual recordkeeping and
reporting hour burden for this collection was estimated to be 1,483
hours. On the average, each respondent reported approximately 5.2 times
per year and 16 hours were spent preparing each response. There are no
capital/startup costs or operations and maintenance costs associated
with continuous emission monitoring in the previous ICR; therefore,
there are no capital, or operation and maintenance costs associated
with this ICR.
(22) FPR subpart FFF: Federal Plan Recordkeeping and Reporting
Requirements for Large Municipal Waste Combustors Constructed on or
Before September 20, 1994 (40 CFR part 62, subpart FFF); EPA ICR Number
1847.03; OMB Control Number 2060-0390; expiration date March 31, 2003.
Affected Entities: Entities potentially affected by this action are
Large Municipal Waste Combustors Constructed on or Before September 20,
1994 (40 CFR part 62, subpart FFF). Respondents are owners or operators
of municipal waste combustors with a capacity to combust greater than
250 tons per day located in States that do not have EPA-approved plans.
Abstract: The Agency has determined that the emissions from large
municipal waste combustors cause, or contribute significantly to air
pollution that may reasonably be anticipated to endanger public health
or welfare.
This information collection is required as a result of a Federal
Plans developed at 40 CFR part 62, subpart FFF, to implement and
enforce the
[[Page 41992]]
emission guidelines (40 CFR part 60, subpart Cb) for large municipal
waste combustors (MWCs) that were promulgated under the authority of
Clean Air Act (CAA) Sections 111 and 129. Under CAA Section 129(b)(2),
States were required to submit plans to the Administrator for approval
by December 19, 1996, that implement and enforce the 40 CFR part 60,
subpart Cb. Section 129(b)(3) requires the Administrator to promulgate
a Federal Plan to implement and enforce the guidelines in those States
that have not submitted an approvable plan to Administrator by December
19, 1997.
40 CFR part 60, subpart Cb requires all respondents to comply with
the recordkeeping and reporting requirements at 40 CFR part 60, subpart
Eb, Section 60.59b except for certain notifications regarding the
siting plan, construction requirements, performance testing procedures
and certifications. The primary recordkeeping and reporting
requirements of subpart Eb include a materials separation plan;
notification of public meeting; the retention of continuous emission
monitoring data; records of exceedances; records carbon injection
system data; the names of the plant operator, shift supervisors and
control room operators; and performance test reports.
Burden Statement: In the previously approved ICR, the estimated
number of respondents for this information collection was 56 with 112
responses per year. The annual industry reporting and recordkeeping
burden for this collection of information was 58,915 hours. On the
average, each respondent reported approximately two times per year and
508 hours were spent preparing each response. The total annual
reporting and recordkeeping cost burden for this collection of
information was $3,218,000 which is comprised entirely of annual
operation and maintenance costs. There are no capital/startup costs
associated with this ICR.
