Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 207 / Thursday, October 27, 2022 / Notices khammond on DSKJM1Z7X2PROD with NOTICES Although EPA’s receipt of TSCA section 8(e) information does not necessarily trigger immediate regulatory action under TSCA or other authorities administered by EPA, all TSCA section 8(e) submissions receive screening level evaluations by EPA’s Office of Pollution Prevention and Toxics (OPPT) to identify priorities for further Agency action and appropriate referrals to other programs. In addition, EPA is offering an electronic reporting option for use both by those who are required to submit a notification of substantial risk under TSCA section 8(e) and by those who wish voluntarily to submit ‘‘For Your Information’’ (FYI) notices by registering and submitting information electronically using the Agency’s Central Data Exchange (CDX). Form Numbers: None. Respondents/affected entities: Entities potentially affected are those that manufacture, process, import, or distribute in commerce chemical substances and mixtures. The following North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS) codes have been provided to assist in determining whether this action might apply to certain entities: Chemical manufacturing (NAICS code 325) and petroleum and coal product manufacturing (NAICS code 324). Respondent’s obligation to respond: Mandatory, 15 U.S.C. 2607(e). Estimated number of respondents: 51 (total). Frequency of response: On occasion. Total estimated burden: 17,565 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b). Total estimated cost: $1,635,246 (per year), includes $0 annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs. Changes in the estimates: There is a decrease of 3,777 hours from the ICR currently approved by OMB (from 21,412 to 17,635 hours). This reflects an overall decrease in the number of 8(e) and FYI submissions, which decreased from 408 to 343 for 8(e) submissions and from 13 to 6 for FYI submissions respectively.

Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Chemical Preparations Industry (40 CFR part 63, subpart BBBBBBB) were proposed on August 5, 2009, and promulgated on December 30, 2009. These regulations apply to both existing and new chemical preparation facilities that conduct the mixing, milling, blending or extruding of industrial chemicals and that are area sources of hazardous air pollutants (HAPs). Area sources are classified as sources that emit less than 10 tons per year of a single HAP and less than 25 tons per year of any combination of HAPs. New facilities include those that commenced construction, modification or reconstruction after the date of proposal. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 63, subpart BBBBBBB. 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, and are required of all affected facilities subject to NESHAP. Form Numbers: None. Respondents/affected entities: Chemical preparation facilities that conduct the mixing, milling, blending or extruding of industrial chemicals.

Estimated number of respondents: 3 (total). Frequency of response: Initially, annually, and semiannually. Total estimated burden: 176 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b). Total estimated cost: $21,100 (per year), which includes $45 in annualized capital/startup and/or operation & maintenance costs. Changes in the Estimates: The adjustment decrease in burden from the most-recently approved ICR is due to a decrease in the number of sources. This ICR reflects a substantial decrease in the number of respondents in the currently approved ICR, based on data collected from the chemical preparations industry as part of a 2020 section 114 information collection request. There were 26 affected sources estimated in the most-recently approved ICR, and this ICR renewal estimates there are three affected sources. The number of sources has decreased by 88 percent, which reflects an overall decline in the industry. There are no capital/startup costs in this ICR. The O&M costs decreased due to the decreased number of affected sources. Courtney Kerwin, Director, Regulatory Support Division.

PO 00000 Frm 00040 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Iron and Steel Foundries Area Sources (40 CFR part 63, subpart ZZZZZ) apply to both new and existing iron and/or steel foundries that are an area source of hazardous air pollutants (HAP) emissions. There are different requirements for foundries based on size. Existing foundries with an annual metal melt production greater than 20,000 tons and new foundries with an annual melt capacity of 10,000 tons are classified as large foundries. Existing foundries with an annual metal melt capacity of 10,000 tons or less are classified as small foundries. Research and development facilities are not covered by the rule. New facilities include those that commenced either 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 ZZZZZ. Form Numbers: 5900–521. Respondents/affected entities: Iron and steel foundries. Respondent’s obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR 63, Subpart ZZZZZ). Estimated number of respondents: 390 (total). Frequency of response: Initially, occasionally, quarterly, semiannually, and annually. Total estimated burden: 12,970 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b). Total estimated cost: $1,540,000 (per year), which includes $0 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. There are no changes in the regulatory requirements and there is no significant industry growth since the most-recently approved ICR was developed. The previous ICR reflected those burdens and costs associated with certain one-time activities including reviewing record keeping systems, adjusting methods, and training employees as a result of the 2020 rule E:\FR\FM\27OCN1.SGM 27OCN1
