This supporting statement addresses
information collection activities that will be imposed by
amendments to the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air
Pollutants (NESHAP) from Manufacturing of Nutritional Yeast, 40 CFR
part 63, subpart CCCC, referred to in this document as the
Nutritional Yeast NESHAP. In 2001, the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) promulgated national emission standards for
hazardous air pollutants for new and existing nutritional yeast
production facilities under 40 CFR part 63, subpart CCCC (66 FR
27876, May 21, 2001) that apply to facilities where the total
hazardous air pollutants (HAP) emitted are greater than or equal to
10 tons per year of any single HAP, or where the total HAP emitted
are greater than or equal to 25 tons per year of any combination of
HAP. The Nutritional Yeast NESHAP sets emission limits for
fermenter operations at nutritional yeast manufacturing facilities.
Concurrent to the residual risk and technology reviews for the
Nutritional Yeast NESHAP, the EPA finalized amendments that change
the form of the current emission limits, require the use of
volatile organic compound continuous emission monitoring systems
(CEMS), require valid CEMS data from each hour of the batch
monitoring period, require ongoing tests to evaluate the
performance of the CEMS over time, require electronic reporting,
and remove exemptions for malfunctions so that affected facilities
would be subject to the emission standards at all times. This
information collection request documents the recordkeeping and
reporting requirements and burden imposed by the rule – both the
requirements that were previously promulgated and retained, as well
as the final amendments. In general, all NESHAP standards require
initial notifications, performance tests, and periodic reports by
the owners/operators of the affected facilities. These
notifications, reports, and records are essential in determining
compliance and are required of all affected facilities subject to
NESHAP. This ICR includes the burden for all activities that will
be conducted in the first three years following promulgation of the
amendments to the Nutritional Yeast NESHAP. These activities
include reading the rule, installing and maintaining CEMS,
performing relative accuracy test audits (RATA) of the CEMS, and
completing the monitoring, recordkeeping, and reporting
requirements.
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.
