Information Collection Request Submitted to OMB for Review and Approval; Comment Request; NESHAP for Pesticide Active Ingredient Production (Renewal), 4585-4586 [2022-01757]

Download as PDF jspears on DSK121TN23PROD with NOTICES1 Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 19 / Friday, January 28, 2022 / Notices Abstract: Owners and operators of ferromanganese and silicomanganese production facilities are required to comply with reporting and record keeping requirements for the General Provisions (40 CFR part 63, subpart A), as well as for the applicable specific standards in 40 CFR part 63 Subpart XXX. This includes submitting initial notifications, performance tests and periodic reports and results, and maintaining 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 reports are used by EPA to determine compliance with these standards. Form Numbers: None. Respondents/affected entities: Ferroalloy production facilities that manufacture ferromanganese and silicomanganese. Respondent’s obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 63, subpart XXX). Estimated number of respondents: 2 (total). Frequency of response: Quarterly, semiannually, and annually. Total estimated burden: 1,610 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b). Total estimated cost: $609,000 (per year), which includes $424,000 for annualized capital/startup and/or operation & maintenance costs. Changes in the Estimates: There is a change in burden from the mostrecently approved ICR (ICR Number 1831.07) as currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved Burdens. This is due to several considerations. The regulations are not anticipated to change over the next three years. The growth rate for this industry is either very low or non-existent, so there is no change in the number of respondents. The 2015 Risk and Technology Review final rule, issued June 30, 2015 (80 FR 37366), and the 2017 reconsideration, issued January 18, 2017 (82 FR 5408), revised the rule significantly, resulting in changes in the labor burden, capital/ startup costs, and operation and maintenance (O&M) costs. However, these changes were not included in the previously-approved ICR (ICR Number 1831.07: Issued March 8, 2019). Instead, the burden for the rule revision was included in ICR Number 2448.02, issued March 16, 2015, which showed only the increase in burden due to the rule changes. This ICR (1831.08) combines and incorporates the ‘burden’ from the 2015 and 2017 rule revisions, as shown in ICR Number 2448.02, with the ‘burden’ shown in the previously- VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:03 Jan 27, 2022 Jkt 256001 approved ICR (1831.07). This ICR also reorganizes and clarifies the ‘burden’ associated with each rule requirement. There is a decrease in the total estimated burden for capital/startup costs from that shown in ICR Number 2448.02. This decrease is not due to any program changes. The change in the burden and cost estimates occurred because the revised standard has been in effect for more than three years and the requirements are different during initial compliance. ICR Number 2448.02 reflected those burdens and costs associated with the initial activities for the two subject facilities. This includes purchasing monitoring equipment, conducting performance test(s) and establishing recordkeeping systems. This ICR reflects the on-going burden and costs for existing facilities. There is an increase in the total estimated burden from that shown in ICR Number 2448.02. This increase is not due to any program changes. This increase is due to an omission in the burden calculations for O&M costs in ICR Number 2448.02, which failed to include costs for periodic testing (every five years) for certain equipment and processes. The 2020 amendment to the regulation (85 FR 73902) added electronic notification requirements, but this did not add to the burden. There is a slight increase in labor costs, which is due wholly to the use of updated labor rates. This ICR uses labor rates from the most-recent Bureau of Labor Statistics report (March 2021) to calculate respondent burden costs. Courtney Kerwin, Director, Regulatory Support Division.

    Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air 
Pollutants (NESHAP) for Pesticide Active Ingredient Production (40 CFR 
part 63, subpart MMM) apply to existing and new facilities engaged in 
the production of pesticide active ingredients (PAIs) that emit HAPs. 
New facilities include those that commenced construction, modification, 
or reconstruction after the date of proposal. 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 63, subpart MMM.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Pesticide active ingredient 
production facilities.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 63, 
subpart MMM).
    Estimated number of respondents: 19 (total).
    Frequency of response: Quarterly and semiannually.
    Total estimated burden: 13,200 hours (per year). Burden is defined 
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $1,910,000 (per year), which includes 
$339,000 in annualized capital/startup and/or operation & maintenance 
costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: The increase in burden from the most-
recently approved ICR is due to several adjustments. This increase is 
not due to any program changes. The adjustment increase in burden from 
the most-recently approved ICR is due to an increase in the number of 
existing respondents. The number of estimated facilities subjected to 
this rule has increased to 19 based on a review of EPA's Enforcement 
and Compliance History Online and data collected during rulemakings for 
related chemical sectors. Based on comments received from industry, we 
have also updated the `burden' to reflect that at least one existing 
respondent will install a new process unit per year. This ICR adjusts 
the burden to reflect certain one-time activities for these sources, 
including submittal of an updated pre-compliance report, notifications 
of initial performance test or performance evaluation, updates to 
facility record management systems, and development of a quality 
assurance/quality control plan for continuous monitoring systems.
    This ICR also adjusts the capital and operation and maintenance 
costs to reflect comments provided by industry. The ICR capital costs 
have been adjusted to account for at least one existing respondent that 
will install a new process unit per year. Additionally, this ICR 
adjusts the operation and maintenance costs for pressure relief device, 
process vent, and wastewater monitoring based on estimates provided by 
industry.
