The NESHAP for Site Remediation was
proposed on July 30, 2002, promulgated on October 8, 2003, and most
recently amended on July 10, 2020 and December 22, 2022. 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 notifications, 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.
There is an increase in the
total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently
approved by OMB. This increase is due to an increase in the number
of respondents. A December 2022 rulemaking amended this subpart by
removing an exemption from the applicability provisions for site
remediation activities performed under the authority of the
Comprehensive Environmental Response and Compensation Liability Act
(CERCLA) and for site remediation activities performed under a
Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) corrective action or
other required RCRA order. This resulted in an increase in the
number of respondents and estimated burden. This ICR further
adjusts the burden based on the assumption that the initial
requirements for new sources have already been met. There is a
decrease in capital costs based on the assumption that initial
capital costs have already been incurred by facilities that became
subject to the rule in December 2022. There is an increase in
O&M costs due to the increased number of existing facilities
that conduct O&M activities.
