Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Chemical Recovery Combustion Sources at Kraft, Soda, Sulfite, and Stand-Alone Semichemical Pulp Mills apply to new and existing chemical recovery combustion sources at kraft, soda, sulfite, and stand-alone semichemical pulp mills, for which the VerDate Sep<11>2014 19:11 Dec 23, 2021 Jkt 256001 chemical recovery combustion sources emit greater than or equal to 10 tons per year (tpy) of any one hazardous air pollutant (HAP) or greater than or equal to 25 tpy of any combination of HAPs. 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 any failures to meet applicable standards, or any period during which the monitoring system is inoperative. These notifications, reports, and records are essential in determining compliance, and are required of all affected facilities subject to 40 CFR part 63, subpart MM. Form Numbers: 5900–520. Respondents/affected entities: Chemical recovery combustion sources at kraft, soda, sulfite, and stand-alone semichemical pulp mills. Respondent’s obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 63, subpart MM). Estimated number of respondents: 104 (total). Frequency of response: Initially, occasionally, and semiannually. Total estimated burden: 117,000 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b). Total estimated cost: $14,700,000 (per year), which includes $788,000 in annualized capital/startup and/or operation & maintenance costs. Changes in the Estimates: There is an adjustment decrease in the total estimated burden as currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved Burdens. This decrease is not due to any program changes. This ICR includes a more accurate estimate of the number of existing facilities based on review of EPA’s Enforcement and Compliance History Online (ECHO) and Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program (GHGRP) databases and consultations with the Agency’s internal industry experts, and revises the previous number of 107 respondents down to 104. All 3 of the facilities removed are classified as Kraft Mills. The number of existing sources is adjusted downward to 254 and the number of ESPs is revised down to 178. This ICR also adjusts the growth rate from the previous ICR to remove the burden for a new source that was constructed in 2021, and removes burden from one-time initial compliance activities following the 2017 final rule (adjusting existing data acquisition systems to reflect the changes from the final rule). Therefore, the change in burden from the mostrecently approved ICR, as currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved Burdens, is attributed to the PO 00000 Frm 00039 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 73275 alteration in total respondents, and because these standards have been in effect for more than three years. This ICR, by in large, reflects the on-going burden and costs for existing facilities. The decrease in the capital/startup cost is solely attributed to the decrease in total respondents. Since there are no significant changes in the regulatory requirements, the operation and maintenance (O&M) costs remain unaffected. Courtney Kerwin, Director, Regulatory Support Division.

They are also required to maintain records of any failures to meet 
applicable standards, or any period during which the monitoring system 
is inoperative. These notifications, reports, and records are essential 
in determining compliance, and are required of all affected facilities 
subject to 40 CFR part 63, subpart MM.
    Form Numbers: 5900-520.
    Respondents/affected entities: Chemical recovery combustion sources 
at kraft, soda, sulfite, and stand-alone semichemical pulp mills.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 63, 
subpart MM).
    Estimated number of respondents: 104 (total).
    Frequency of response: Initially, occasionally, and semiannually.
    Total estimated burden: 117,000 hours (per year). Burden is defined 
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $14,700,000 (per year), which includes 
$788,000 in annualized capital/startup and/or operation & maintenance 
costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is an adjustment decrease in the 
total estimated burden as currently identified in the OMB Inventory of 
Approved Burdens. This decrease is not due to any program changes. This 
ICR includes a more accurate estimate of the number of existing 
facilities based on review of EPA's Enforcement and Compliance History

and consultations with the Agency's internal industry experts, and 
revises the previous number of 107 respondents down to 104. All 3 of 
the facilities removed are classified as Kraft Mills. The number of 
existing sources is adjusted downward to 254 and the number of ESPs is 
revised down to 178. This ICR also adjusts the growth rate from the 
previous ICR to remove the burden for a new source that was constructed 
in 2021, and removes burden from one-time initial compliance activities 
following the 2017 final rule (adjusting existing data acquisition 
systems to reflect the changes from the final rule). Therefore, the 
change in burden from the most-recently approved ICR, as currently 
identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved Burdens, is attributed to 
the alteration in total respondents, and because these standards have 
been in effect for more than three years. This ICR, by in large, 
reflects the on-going burden and costs for existing facilities. The 
decrease in the capital/startup cost is solely attributed to the 
decrease in total respondents. Since there are no significant changes 
in the regulatory requirements, the operation and maintenance (O&M) 
costs remain unaffected.
