EPA is proposing national emission standards for hazardous air pollutants (NESHAP) for the Plating and Polishing Area Source Category. The proposed standards include management practices and equipment standards for new and existing plants based on the generally available control technology (GACT) for the area source category. Potential respondents subject to the area source NESHAP include an estimated 2,900 existing plating and polishing facilities. The total annual responses attributable to this ICR include two one-time notifications for each existing facility, annual compliance certifications, and annual reports of deviations. The owner or operator would be required to submit the initial notifications by the compliance date, based on requirements in the proposed rule. No burden estimates are provided for new area sources because no new facilities are expected to be affected sources during the next 3 years.
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.
