The NESHAP for Off-Site Waste and
Recovery Operations were proposed on October 13, 1994, and
promulgated on July 1, 1996. The affected entities are subject to
the General Provisions of the NESHAP at 40 CFR part 63, subpart A,
and any changes, or additions to the Provisions specified at 40 CFR
part 63, subpart DD. Owners or operators of the affected facilities
must submit a one-time-only report of any physical or operational
changes, initial performance tests, and periodic reports and
results. 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. Reports are
required semiannually at a minimum.
The increase in burden from the
most recently approved ICR is due to a mathematical correction in
labor hours and an increase in labor costs. This ICR uses rounded
estimates of per-respondent technical hours to calculate both
industry and agency burden. In addition, this ICR uses updated
labor rates from the Bureau of Labor Statistics to calculate burden
costs.
