Plywood and Composite Wood
Products National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants
(NESHAP) Residual Risk and Technology Review (RTR) (New
Collection)
New
collection (Request for a new OMB Control Number)
This ICR is being conducted by the
EPA’s Office of Air and Radiation to assist the EPA Administrator
to fulfill his responsibilities under sections 112(d) and 112(f) of
the Clean Air Act (CAA), as amended. The CAA requires a review of
each NESHAP following the application of the standard to determine
any remaining risk and whether the standard is protective to public
health with an ample margin of safety and prevents adverse
environmental effects. The CAA also requires that the standard be
reviewed and revised, as necessary, taking into account
developments in practices, processes, and control technology. For
efficiency and to reduce burden, these reviews are conducted
concurrently and known as RTR. The federal emission standard that
is the subject of this information collection is the National
Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants: Plywood and
Composite Wood Products (PCWP) (40 CFR part 63, subpart DDDD). On
March 22, 2017, the EPA was ordered by the United States Court of
Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit to complete the PCWP
RTR no later than June 30, 2020. In addition to the CAA reviews, in
2007, the United States Court of Appeals for the District of
Columbia Circuit issued a remand requiring the administrator to
develop standards for emission units identified in the PCWP NESHAP
for which emission limits were not promulgated. The ICR will
provide specific, required information, including emission
inventories, compliance demonstrations, process changes, and
information about control technologies/practices adopted since the
application of maximum achievable control technology
(MACT).
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
