Abstract: The information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 63, subpart DDDD. The information requirements are based on notification, recordkeeping, and reporting requirements in the NESHAP General Provisions (40 CFR part 63, subpart A), which are mandatory for all operators subject to national emissions standards. The information collection activities also include paperwork requirements associated with initial and repeat performance testing and parameter monitoring. The final amendments to the rule eliminate the paperwork requirements associated with the SSM plan and recordkeeping of SSM events and require electronic submittal of performance test results and semiannual compliance reports. These recordkeeping and reporting requirements are specifically authorized by CAA section 114 (42 U.S.C. 7414).

Short Statement: This ICR is prepared for amendments to the PCWP NESHAP (40 CFR, Part 63, Subpart DDDD). These amendments: (1) adjust references to the Part 63 General Provisions (40 CFR, Part 63, Subpart A) and revise provisions in the NESHAP (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart DDDD) to remove the SSM exemption and SSM plan requirement; (2) add repeat emissions testing; (3) add electronic submittal of selected notifications, semiannual reports, and performance test reports; and (4) make technical and editorial changes. Where applicable, adjustments for these amendments are reflected in Tables 1 and 2 of this ICR. Changes in the burden estimates from the most-recently approved ICR renewal (Agency Tracking ID 1984.08) include (1) an increase in the burden estimate for familiarizing with regulatory requirements to reflect the actual time it would take industry to review the amended rule; (2) addition of burden estimates for the industry to prepare for/attend performance tests and retests, report the results of the performance tests/retests through CEDRI using the ERT, and adjust existing data acquisition systems to include startup and shutdown periods and to transition to submission of selected notifications and semiannual reports through CEDRI; and (3) removal of burden estimates for developing SSM plans and submitting periodic SSM reports. In addition, distinctions between PCWP mills and kiln-dried lumber mills that are subject to PCWP NESHAP (but currently have no requirements beyond initial notification) were made where needed in the burden tables to reflect differences in the burden for the two types of facilities.
