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.
