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.
There is a decrease in the
respondent labor hours, labor costs, and the number of responses.
The decrease reflects an update in the estimated respondent
universe. The previously approved ICR (1717.09) estimated 236
sources. In developing the 2015 amendment, we estimate that only 45
sources are subject to these standards. However, there is an
increase in the total O&M cost compared to the
previously-approved ICR. This cost increased because the current
ICR incorporates additional requirements associated with the 2015
amendment, including additional O&M cost associated with LDAR
and PRD monitoring equipment.
