Title: NSPS for Sulfuric Acid Plants
(Renewal).
ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number
1057.11, OMB Control Number 2060–
0041.
ICR Status: This ICR is schedule to
expire on October 31, 2008. Under OMB
regulations, the Agency may continue to
conduct or sponsor the collection of
information while this submission is
pending at OMB. 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 title 40 of the CFR, after
appearing in the Federal Register when
approved, are listed in 40 CFR part 9,
and displayed either by publication in
the Federal Register or by other
appropriate means, such as on the
related collection instrument or form, if
applicable. The display of OMB control
numbers in certain EPA regulations is
consolidated in 40 CFR part 9.
Abstract: The New Source
Performance Standards (NSPS) for
Sulfuric Acid Plants were proposed on
August 17, 1971, and promulgated on
December 23, 1971. These standards
apply to any sulfuric acid facility
commencing construction, modification
or reconstruction after the date of
proposal. The control of sulfur dioxide
(SO2) and acid mist requires not only
the installation of properly designed
equipment, but also the proper
operation and maintenance of that
equipment. Sulfur dioxide and acid mist
emissions from sulfuric acid plants
result from the burning of sulfur or
sulfur-bearing feed-stock to form SO2,
catalytic oxidation of SO2 to sulfur
trioxide, and absorption of SO2 in a
strong acid stream. These standards rely
on the capture of SO2 and acid mist by
venting to a control device.
Owners or operators of sulfuric acid
plants are required to make the
following one-time-only reports,
notification of the date of construction
or reconstruction, notification of actual
startup dates, notification of any
physical or operational change to an
existing facility, and notification of
demonstration of the continuous
emissions monitoring system (CEMS).

03SEN1
sroberts on PROD1PC70 with NOTICES
Federal Register / Vol. 73, No. 171 / Wednesday, September 3, 2008 / Notices
Owners and operators must also submit
notification date of the initial
performance test, and the results of the
initial performance test. After the initial
recordkeeping and reporting
requirements, semiannual reports are
required if there has been an exceedance
of control device operating parameters.
Respondents are also required to
maintain records of occurrence and
duration of any startup, shutdown, or
malfunction, or any period during
which the monitoring system is
inoperative.
Notifications are to inform the Agency
or delegated authority when a source
becomes subject to the standard. The
reviewing authority may then inspect
the source to ensure that the pollution
control devices are properly installed
and operating and that the standards are
being met. Performance test reports are
required as these are the Agency’s
records of a sources’ initial capability to
comply with the emission standards and
to serve as a record of the operating
conditions under which compliance are
to be achieved. The information
generated by monitoring, recordkeeping
and reporting requirements described in
this ICR are used by the Agency to
ensure that facilities that are affected by
the standard continue to operate the
control equipment and achieve
continuous compliance with the
regulation.
All reports are sent to the delegated
state or local authority. In the event that
there is no such delegated authority, the
reports are sent directly to the EPA
regional office. This information is
being collected to assure compliance
with 40 CFR part 60, subpart H, as
authorized in sections 112 and 114(a) of
the Clean Air Act. The required
information consists of emissions data
and other information that have been
determined to be private.
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
Number for EPA’s regulations listed in
40 CFR part 9 and 48 CFR chapter 15
is identified on the form and/or
instrument, if applicable.
Burden Statement: The annual public
reporting and recordkeeping burden for
this collection of information estimated
to average 127 hours per response.
Burden means the total time, effort, or
financial resources expended by persons
to generate, maintain, retain, or disclose
and 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
VerDate Aug<31>2005
22:59 Sep 02, 2008
Jkt 214001
collecting, validating, and verifying
information, processing and
maintaining information, and disclosing
and providing information. All existing
ways will have to adjust to comply with
any previously applicable instructions
and requirements that have
subsequently changed; 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:
Sulfuric acid plants.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
103.
Frequency of Response: Initially,
occasionally, and semiannually.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:
26,177.
Estimated Total Annual Cost:
$2,576,771, which includes $463,500
O&M costs and $2,113,271 labor costs.
Changes in the Estimates: There is no
change in the labor hours or cost in this
ICR compared to the previous ICR. This
is due to two considerations: (1) The
regulations have not changed over the
past three years and are not anticipated
to change over the next three years; and
(2) the growth rate for the industry is
very low, negative or non-existent, so
there is no significant change in the
overall burden. It should be noted that
the previous ICR rounded the burden
cost up to the nearest one thousand. In
this ICR, the exact cost figure is reported
which results in an apparent decrease in
the cost when, in fact, no decrease has
occurred.
Since there are no changes in the
regulatory requirements and there is no
significant industry growth, the labor
hours and cost figures in the previous
ICR was used in this ICR, and there is
no change in burden to industry.

After the initial recordkeeping and reporting requirements, semiannual
reports are required if there has been an exceedance of control device
operating parameters. Respondents are also required to maintain records
of occurrence and duration of any startup, shutdown, or malfunction, or

currently valid OMB Control Number. The OMB Control Number for EPA's
regulations listed in 40 CFR part 9 and 48 CFR chapter 15 is identified
on the form and/or instrument, if applicable.
Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping
burden for this collection of information estimated to average 127
hours per response. Burden means the total time, effort, or financial
resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or
disclose and 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. All
existing ways will have to adjust to comply with any previously
applicable instructions and requirements that have subsequently
changed; 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: Sulfuric acid plants.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 103.
Frequency of Response: Initially, occasionally, and semiannually.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 26,177.
Estimated Total Annual Cost: $2,576,771, which includes $463,500
O&M costs and $2,113,271 labor costs.
Changes in the Estimates: There is no change in the labor hours or
cost in this ICR compared to the previous ICR. This is due to two
considerations: (1) The regulations have not changed over the past
three years and are not anticipated to change over the next three
years; and (2) the growth rate for the industry is very low, negative
or non-existent, so there is no significant change in the overall
burden. It should be noted that the previous ICR rounded the burden
cost up to the nearest one thousand. In this ICR, the exact cost figure
is reported which results in an apparent decrease in the cost when, in
fact, no decrease has occurred.
Since there are no changes in the regulatory requirements and there
is no significant industry growth, the labor hours and cost figures in
the previous ICR was used in this ICR, and there is no change in burden
to industry.
