New collection (Request for a new OMB Control Number)
The New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for nitric acid plants (40 CFR part 60, subpart G) were proposed on August 17, 1971, and promulgated on June 14, 1974. This information collection is for a new subpart Ga, which will apply to nitric acid production units which commence construction, modification, or reconstruction after October 14, 2011. Nitrogen oxide (NOX) is the pollutant regulated under this subpart. The standards limit nitrogen oxides, expressed as nitrogen dioxide (NO2), to 0.50 lb per ton of 100 percent nitric acid produced. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 60, subpart Ga.
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).
