This supporting statement addresses information collection activities that will be imposed by amendments to the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) from Manufacturing of Nutritional Yeast, 40 CFR part 63, subpart CCCC, referred to in this document as the Nutritional Yeast NESHAP. In 2001, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) promulgated national emission standards for hazardous air pollutants for new and existing nutritional yeast production facilities under 40 CFR part 63, subpart CCCC (66 FR 27876, May 21, 2001) that apply to facilities where the total hazardous air pollutants (HAP) emitted are greater than or equal to 10 tons per year of any single HAP, or where the total HAP emitted are greater than or equal to 25 tons per year of any combination of HAP. The Nutritional Yeast NESHAP sets emission limits for fermenter operations at nutritional yeast manufacturing facilities.
Concurrent to the residual risk and technology reviews for the Nutritional Yeast NESHAP, the EPA finalized amendments that change the form of the current emission limits, require the use of volatile organic compound continuous emission monitoring systems (CEMS), require valid CEMS data from each hour of the batch monitoring period, require ongoing tests to evaluate the performance of the CEMS over time, require electronic reporting, and remove exemptions for malfunctions so that affected facilities would be subject to the emission standards at all times. This information collection request documents the recordkeeping and reporting requirements and burden imposed by the rule â both the requirements that were previously promulgated and retained, as well as the final amendments.
In general, all NESHAP standards require initial notifications, performance tests, and periodic reports by the owners/operators of the affected facilities. These notifications, reports, and records are essential in determining compliance and are required of all affected facilities subject to NESHAP. This ICR includes the burden for all activities that will be conducted in the first three years following promulgation of the amendments to the Nutritional Yeast NESHAP. These activities include reading the rule, installing and maintaining CEMS, performing relative accuracy test audits (RATA) of the CEMS, and completing the monitoring, recordkeeping, and reporting requirements.
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.
