The amendments to this information
collection request (ICR) are a result of the review of the existing
NESHAP for Site Remediation (40 CFR part 63, subpart GGGGG) as
required by the Clean Air Act (CAA). The NESHAP published at 40 CFR
part 63, subpart GGGGG were July 30, 2002, promulgated on October
8, 2003, and amended on November 29, 2006. These regulations apply
to site remediation activities that clean up materials containing
organic hazardous air pollutants (HAP), where the site remediation
is co-located at any facility with one or more stationary source
that emit HAP, and where the facility is a major source of HAP.
Major sources of HAP are sources that emit any single HAP at a rate
of 10 tons or more per year or any combination of HAP at a rate of
25 tons or more per year. Site remediation activities may
potentially occur at any facility where materials containing
organic HAP currently are or have been stored, processed, treated,
or otherwise managed at the facility. The types of businesses most
likely to be subject to this rule include, but are not limited to,
organic liquid storage terminals, petroleum refineries, chemical
manufacturing facilities, and manufacturing facilities using
organic materials. New facilities include those that commenced
construction, modification or reconstruction after the date of
proposal. This information is being collected to assure compliance
with 40 CFR part 63, subpart GGGGG. In general, all NESHAP
standards require initial notification reports, performance tests,
and periodic reports by the owners/operators of the affected
facilities. They 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. These notifications, reports,
and records are essential in determining compliance, and are
required of all affected facilities subject to NESHAP. The
rulemaking amends title 40, chapter I, part 63, subpart GGGGG
revising the leak detection and repair (LDAR) requirements. In
addition, the final amendments also add requirements for each
pressure relief devices (PRD) in the event that a pressure relief
device releases HAP to the atmosphere due to actuation of the
device. Information related to these new provisions is required to
be submitted in the semiannual reports required by the existing
NESHAP. Burden changes associated with these final amendments would
result from new recordkeeping and reporting requirements associated
with the LDAR and PRD requirements for all facilities subject to
subpart GGGGG.
This ICR is prepared for
amendments to the NESHAP for Site Remediation (40 CFR Part 63,
Subpart GGGGG). These amendments revise the leak detection and
repair (LDAR) requirements. The final amendments also add
requirements for each pressure relief device (PRD) in the event
that a PRD releases HAP to the atmosphere due to actuation of the
device. Burden changes associated with these final amendments
result from new recordkeeping and reporting requirements associated
with the LDAR and PRD requirements. There is an overall decrease in
the change in burden due to the decrease in the number of
facilities estimated to be subject to the NESHAP for Site
Remediation (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart GGGGG).
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

number;
