VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:05 Feb 08, 2019 Jkt 247001 Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Benzene Waste Operations (40 CFR part 61, subpart FF) apply to existing facilities and new facilities that generate waste containing benzene, such as chemical manufacturing plants, coke by-product recovery plants, petroleum refineries, and those owners and operators of hazardous waste treatment, storage, and disposal facilities (TSDF) that receive wastes from the above facilities. In general, all NESHAP standards require initial notifications, performance tests, and periodic reports by the owners/ operators of the affected facilities. They are also required to maintain records of the occurrence and duration of any startup, shutdown, or malfunction in the operation of an affected facility, or any period during which the monitoring system is inoperative. These notifications, reports, and records are essential in determining compliance with 40 CFR part 61, subpart FF. Form Numbers: None. Respondents/affected entities: Owners and operators of benzene waste facilities. Respondent’s obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 61, subpart FF). Estimated number of respondents: 270 (total). Frequency of response: Quarterly and annually. Total estimated burden: 19,500 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b). Total estimated cost: $2,130,000 (per year), which includes $0 in annualized capital/startup and/or operation & maintenance costs. Changes in the Estimates: There is an adjustment increase in the total estimated burden as currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved Burdens. This increase is not due to any program changes, but reflects the addition of burden hours to account for the time spent by existing facilities to re-familiarize themselves annually with the rule requirements.

Abstract: The New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for New Residential Wood Heaters (40 CFR 60, Subpart AAA) apply to existing facilities and new facilities that contain wood heaters. A wood heater is defined as an enclosed, wood burning appliance capable of and intended for residential or space heating and domestic water heating. Unless otherwise specified, these devices include, but are not limited to, adjustable burn rate wood heaters, single burn rate wood heaters and pellet stoves. New facilities include those that commenced construction, modification or reconstruction after the date of proposal. PO 00000 Frm 00024 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 One feature of the NSPS requires emphasis at the outset, which is that the requirements of subpart AAA establish a certification program instead of the usual NSPS requirements, where each affected facility is required to demonstrate compliance through performance testing. Under the subpart AAA-required certification program, a single wood heater is tested to demonstrate compliance with particulate matter (PM) emission limits for an entire model line, which could consist of thousands of stoves. The use of a certification approach significantly reduces the compliance burden, including information collection, for the manufacturers of wood heating appliances. In order to minimize risks to the environment from intentional or accidental misuse of the certification approach, subpart AAA includes several safeguards, some of which entail reporting and recordkeeping. Form Numbers: None. Respondents/affected entities: Owners and operators of facilities that contain new residential wood heaters. Respondent’s obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 60, subpart AAA). Estimated number of respondents: 45 (total). Frequency of response: Initially, occasionally, and annually. Total estimated burden: 4,320 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b). Total estimated cost: $1,210,000 (per year), which includes $740,000 in annualized capital/startup and/or operation & maintenance costs. Changes in the estimates: There is an increase in the total estimated respondent annual burden as currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved Burdens due to an increase in the number of test laboratories and third-party certifiers subject to these standards. The number of sources has been adjusted in this ICR to reflect more current information obtained regarding the number of manufacturers certifying model lines in advance of Subpart AAA’s Step 2 p.m. standards, which go into effect in 2020, as well as data that indicates a decline in the number of manufacturers based on ongoing industry consolidation and decreasing market size, and to reflect additional entities obtaining EPA approval as test laboratories or third-party certifiers. There is a decrease in capital/startup costs as compared to the previous ICR. This change is due to a decrease in the number of manufacturers, and because initial compliance requirements for test laboratories and third-party certifiers within the standard occurred during the E:\FR\FM\11FEN1.SGM 11FEN1
