Concurrent to the residual risk and technology reviews for the NESHAP, the EPA is finalizing amendments that remove exemptions for startup, shutdown, and malfunctions so that affected facilities would be subject to the emission standards at all times, and add electronic reporting requirements. This ICR documents the reporting and recordkeeping requirements and burden imposed by the rule - both the requirements that were previously promulgated and retained, as well as the final amendments.
The amount of facilities was updated from 23 to 21 due to collocated facilities. Additionally, time was added for familiarization with the new standard, specifically the electronic reporting template. The number of sources presented in this ICR reflects current data obtained from industry, including information on the use of compliance alternatives used by the affected facilities. Based on consultations with the trade group, no facilities are using control devices to comply with the 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.
