EPA is proposing revisions for the
National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP)
for Polyether Polyols. Potential respondents subject to the new
requirements of the NESHAP include an estimated 23 existing
facilities that produce polyether polyols. The total annual
responses attributable to this ICR consist of additional
information pertaining to emissions discharges from pressure
release devices, which is prohibited in the proposed rule, and
reports submitted to satisfy affirmative defense provisions. No
burden estimates are provided for new sources because no new
facilities are expected to be affected sources during the next 3
years.
This is a revised data
collection due to amendments to the rule. There are additional
recordkeeping and reporting requirements resulting from the
proposed amendments, however, the overall estimated burden has
decreased because there are fewer major source facilities than
previously estimated.
