Title: NESHAP for Solvent Extraction
for Vegetable Oil Production (Renewal).
Abstract: The National Emission
Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
VerDate jul<14>2003
18:09 Jan 07, 2005
Jkt 205001
(NESHAP) for Solvent Extraction for
Vegetable Oil Production were proposed
on May 26, 2000 (65 FR 34252), and
promulgated on April 21, 2001. These
standards apply to any existing,
reconstructed, or new vegetable oil
production process, which is defined as
a group of continuous process
equipment used to remove an oil from
oilseeds through direct contact with an
organic solvent such as n-hexane. The
term ‘‘oilseed’’ refers to the following
agricultural products: corn germ,
cottonseed, flax, peanut, rapeseed
(source of canola oil), safflower,
soybean, and sunflower. A vegetable oil
production process is only subject to the
regulation if it is a major source of
hazardous air pollutant (HAP)
emissions, or is collocated with other
sources that are individually or
collectively a major source of HAP
emissions.
Notification reports are required upon
the construction, reconstruction, or
modification of any vegetable oil
production processor. Also required is
one-time-only initial notification for
existing, new and reconstructed sources,
and notification of an actual startup
date. Annual compliance reports are
required, along with a deviation report,
an immediate SSM report, and a
periodic startup, shutdown, and
malfunction report. Affected entities
must retain reports and records for five
years.
An agency may not conduct or
sponsor, and a person is not required to
respond to, a collection of information
unless it displays a currently valid OMB
Control Number. The OMB Control
Numbers for EPA’s regulations are listed
in 40 CFR part 9 and 48 CFR chapter 15,
and are identified on the form and/or
instrument, if applicable.
Burden Statement: The annual public
reporting and recordkeeping burden for
this collection of information is
estimated to average 185 hours per
response. Burden means the total time,
effort, or financial resources expended
by persons to generate, maintain, retain,
or disclose or provide information to or
for a Federal agency. This includes the
time needed to review instructions;
develop, acquire, install, and utilize
technology and systems for the purposes
of collecting, validating, and verifying
information, processing and
maintaining information, and disclosing
and providing information; adjust the
existing ways to comply with any
previously applicable instructions and
requirements; train personnel to be able
to respond to a collection of
information; search data sources;
complete and review the collection of
PO 00000
Frm 00010

information; and transmit or otherwise
disclose the information.
Respondents/Affected Entities: Owner
or operator of vegetable oil production
processors.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
101.
Frequency of Response: Initially,
annually, on occasion.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:
39,385 hours.
Estimated Total Annual Costs:
$2,512,947, which includes $0
annualized capital/startup costs, $0
annual O&M costs and $2,512,947
Annual Respondent Labor Costs.
Changes in the Estimates: There is an
increase of 29,293 hours in the total
estimated burden currently identified in
the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR
Burdens. This increase in the burden
from the most recently approved ICR is
due to an increase in the number of new
sources per year, by averaging the
number of respondents over the threeyear period of the ICR.
Dated: December 20, 2004.

Title: Pollution Prevention
Compliance Alternative; Transportation
Equipment Cleaning (TEC) Point Source
Category (Renewal).
Abstract: EPA issued a final guideline
for the TEC point source category on
August 14, 2000. This final rule,
codified in 40 CFR part 442, included a
regulatory compliance option which
allows certain facilities to develop a
Pollutant Management Plan (PMP) in
lieu of meeting numeric standards.
Facilities have the option to develop
this plan if it would be more beneficial
compliance alternative. The PMP is only
available for Pretreatment Standards for
Existing Sources and Pretreatment
Standards for New Sources in subparts
A and B of the TEC regulation,
representing a potential 336 facilities.
The PMP includes requirements for
recordkeeping and paperwork that were
not previously included in the burden
estimate for the TEC industry. This ICR
presents estimates of the burden hours
and costs to the regulated community
and pretreatment authorities for data
collection and recordkeeping associated
with implementing the pollution
prevention compliance option.
The PMP is an effective alternative
method of reducing pollutant discharges
from indirect dischargers in subparts A
and B (facilities that clean tank trucks,
intermodal tank containers, and rail
tank cars transporting chemical and
petroleum cargos). The PMP contains 10
components that must be considered
and addressed when developing the
Plan. These components require
facilities to identify and segregate
incompatible waste streams which may
include heels, prerinse or prestream
wastewater, and spent cleaning
solutions from wastewater discharged to
a publicly owned treatment works
(POTW). The PMP also requires
provisions for recycling or reuse of
incompatible waste streams and for
minimizing the use of toxic cleaning
agents. Data collection and
PO 00000
Frm 00011
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
1703
recordkeeping requirements under the
pollution prevention compliance option
include preparing the PMP and
maintaining records to demonstrate
compliance with the procedures and
provisions of the PMP. Records will be
stored on site, and there are no reporting
requirements.
An agency may not conduct or
sponsor, and a person is not required to
respond to, a collection of information
unless it displays a currently valid OMB
control number. The OMB control
numbers for EPA’s regulations in 40
CFR are listed in 40 CFR part 9 and are
identified on the form and/or
instrument, if applicable.
Burden Statement: The annual public
reporting and recordkeeping burden for
this collection of information is
estimated to average 240 hours per new
respondent per year and 209 hours per
existing respondent per year.
Pretreatment control authority burden is
estimated to average 5 hours per
respondent per year. Burden means the
total time, effort, or financial resources
expended by persons to generate,
maintain, retain, or disclose or provide
information to or for a Federal agency.
This includes the time needed to review
instructions; develop, acquire, install,
and utilize technology and systems for
the purposes of collecting, validating,
and verifying information, processing
and maintaining information, and
disclosing and providing information;
adjust the existing ways to comply with
any previously applicable instructions
and requirements; train personnel to be
able to respond to a collection of
information; search data sources;
complete and review the collection of
information; and transmit or otherwise
disclose the information.
Respondents/Affected Entities:
Indirect discharge facilities from 40 CFR
part 442, subparts A and B (facilities
that clean tank trucks, intermodal tank
containers, and rail tank cars
transporting chemical and petroleum
cargos), that choose the pollution
prevention compliance option to reduce
pollutant discharges.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
183.
Frequency of Response: Varies.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:
17,869 hours.
Estimated Total Annual Cost:
$559,000, includes $0 annualized
capital or O&M costs.
Changes in the Estimates: There is a
decrease of 1,275 hours in the total
estimated burden currently identified in
the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR
Burdens. This decrease is the result of
adjustments to the numbers of new
facilities covered by these requirements.
