EPA established NESHAP for seven area
source categories. The requirements for two area source categories
(Flexible Polyurethane Foam Production and Flexible Polyurethane
Foam Fabrication) are combined in one Subpart. These standards
include emissions limitations and work practice requirements for
new and existing plants based on the generally-available control
technology or management practices (GACT) for each area source
category. Potential respondents include two existing acrylic and
modacrylic production facility, one existing carbon black
production plant, two existing chromium product manufacturing
facilities, 500 existing flexible polyurethane foam production and
fabrication facilities, 41 existing lead acid battery manufacturing
facilities, and 393 existing wood preserving facilities. The total
annual responses attributable to this ICR for existing sources are
two one-time notifications; some existing facilities may be
required to prepare a startup, shutdown, and malfunction plan,
perform additional monitoring and recordkeeping, and/or conduct an
initial performance test. The owner or operator of a new area
source would be required to comply with all requirements of the
General Provisions (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart A).
There is a decrease in burden
from the most recently approved ICR. The decrease is not due to any
program changes, but is due to an adjustment. The adjustment
decrease in burden from the most recently approved ICR is due to a
decrease in the number of sources as a result of data gathered as
part of recent rulemaking efforts related to 40 CFR 63, Subpart
PPPPPP, NESHAP for Lead Acid Battery Manufacturing Area Sources.
Additionally, we have adjusted the number of respondents for 40 CFR
63, Subpart LLLLLL and 40 CFR 63, Subpart MMMMMM to each reflect
one additional source. This change is based on our review of
facilities with EIS IDs reporting under Subparts LLLLLL and MMMMMM
in the EPAs ECHO database. The overall result is a decrease in the
number of respondents and the burden hours. The proposed changes
also result in an adjustment to the number of responses. This ICR
also adjusts the number of responses from respondents for 40 CFR
63, Subpart QQQQQ. The prior ICR included an error in the Total
Annual Responses table. Specifically, the prior ICR assumed all
respondents subject to Subpart QQQQQQ would maintain records of a
notification of compliance status; however, the notification of
compliance status is a one-time notification for new sources and
there are no new wood preserving sources anticipated in this ICR.
Therefore, the number of responses has decreased to 15. This change
also revises the annual hours per response; because there are a
large number of facilities subject to the subparts but relatively
few regulatory requirements for submittal of notifications or
reports for existing sources, the hours per response is inflated.
The major burden for these subparts is to read and familiarize with
the rules. There are no changes to the capital or operation and
maintenance costs.
