As part of the residual risk and technology reviews (RTR) for the NESHAP, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing amendments to correct and clarify regulatory provisions related to emissions during periods of startup, shutdown, and malfunction; add requirements for electronic reporting of performance test results and other compliance-related reports; include additional requirements for applicability/compliance performance testing; and add annual boiler tune up requirements for specified affected sources. This information collection request documents the recordkeeping and reporting requirements and burden imposed by these amendments.
The amendments to the NESHAP for Carbon Black Production (40 CFR, Part 63, Subpart YY) addressed in this ICR (1) revise provisions in the NESHAP (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart YY) to remove the SSM exemption and SSM plan and periodic report requirements; (2) require electronic submittal of performance test results; and (3) where applicable, adjustments for these amendments are reflected in Tables 1 and 2 of this ICR.
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;
