Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Publicly Owned Treatment Works (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart VVV) were proposed on December 1, 1998, promulgated on October 26, 1999, and most-recently amended on December 22, 2008. These regulations apply to both existing and new publicly owned treatment works (POTWs) located at a major source of hazardous air pollutants (HAPs), or to industrial POTWs that are either area or major sources. New facilities include those that either commenced construction or re-construction after the date of proposal. Under these regulations, owners or operators of the affected facilities must submit initial notification, 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. EPA collects information to assure compliance with 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart VVV. This ICR addresses the burden for activities that will be conducted in the first three years following promulgation of the most recent POTW NESHAP amendments. These activities include reading the rule, developing an inspection and maintenance program, developing a program to demonstrate compliance with the requirements in the rule, and monitoring, recordkeeping, and reporting requirements.

Short Statement: This ICR includes the burden for activities that will be conducted in the first three years following promulgation of the POTW NESHAP amendments. These activities include reading the rule, initial notification for existing sources, and for new sources, notification and monitoring, recordkeeping, and reporting requirements. All of the known affected entities have already met the initial notification requirements. The program change increase of 7 hours is due to the time needed for affected entities to familiarize themselves with the rule requirements. The adjustment increase is due to an increase in the number of estimated respondents.
