Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Pulp and Paper Production (40 CFR part 63, subpart S) apply to both existing facilities and new facilities that produce pulp, paper, or paperboard by employing kraft, soda, sulfite, semi-chemical, or mechanical pulping processes using wood, or any process using secondary or non-wood fiber and that emits 10 tons per year or more of any hazardous air pollutant (HAP) or 25 tons per year or more of any combination of HAPs. Affected sources are all the HAP emission points in the pulping and bleaching system for mechanical pulping processes using wood and any process using secondary or non-wood fiber. 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: Owners and operators of pulp and paper production facilities. Respondent’s obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 63, subpart S). Estimated number of respondents: 104 (total). Frequency of response: Semiannually. Total estimated burden: 30,800 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b). Total estimated cost: $4,470,000 (per year), which includes $766,000 in annualized capital/startup and/or operation & maintenance costs. Changes in the Estimates: The decrease in burden from the most recently approved ICR is due to various adjustments. An adjustment decrease is due to a decrease in respondents and more accurate estimates of hours per occurrence that were used in the calculations supporting the prior renewal. The estimated number of respondents reflects Agency review of data collected from ECHO, the Agency’s internal database of information collection responses from the pulp and paper industry, and current permits for PO 00000 Frm 00029 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 identified facilities. The hours to read and understand rule requirements were decreased for this renewal, since the prior renewal supported rule amendments. There is also a decrease in Capital/Startup vs. Operation and Maintenance (O&M) costs due to a decrease in the number of respondents. Courtney Kerwin, Director, Regulatory Support Division.

Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Publicly-Owned Treatment Works (POTW) (40 CFR part 63, subpart VVV) were proposed on December 1, 1998; and promulgated on October 26, 1999; and amended on both December 22, 2008, and October 26, 2017 (82 FR 49513). These regulations apply to both existing and new Group 2 POTW located at a major source of hazardous air pollutants (HAP), or to Group 1 POTW that are either area or major sources. Group 1 POTWs are facilities that accept wastewater regulated by another NESHAP and provide treatment ‘‘as an agent’’ for the industrial user. Group 1 POTWs are subject to the monitoring, recordkeeping, and reporting requirements of the other regulating NESHAP but have no additional monitoring, recordkeeping, or reporting requirements under Subpart VVV. Group 2 POTWs are POTWs that do not meet the definition of a Group 1 POTW and must meet the criteria for a VerDate Sep<11>2014 19:33 Nov 25, 2022 Jkt 259001 pretreatment program under 40 CFR 403.8. New facilities include those that commenced either construction, or reconstruction, after the date of proposal. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 63, Subpart VVV. Form Numbers: 5900–603. Respondents/affected entities: Owners and operators of publiclyowned treatment works. Respondent’s obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 63, Subpart VVV). Estimated number of respondents: 13.7 (total). Frequency of response: Initially, occasionally, semiannually and annually. Total estimated burden: 17 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b). Total estimated cost: $865 (per year), which includes no annualized capital/ startup and/or operation & maintenance costs. Changes in the Estimates: The increase in burden from the mostrecently approved ICR is due to an adjustment(s). The adjustment increase is due to a slight increase in the number of respondents. There is a slight increase in costs, which is due to the increased number of respondents. Courtney Kerwin, Director, Regulatory Support Division.

The Agency is denying the extension based on its determination that Gavin has not demonstrated compliance with the requirements of 40 CFR part 257, subpart D, as required in 40 CFR 257.103(f)(1)(iii). Gavin is the owner and operator of the General James M. Gavin Plant in Cheshire, Ohio. The Gavin Plant is a coal-fired electric generation facility that generates and manages CCR on-site and is subject to the federal standards for the disposal of CCR in surface impoundments and landfills codified under 40 CFR part 257, subpart D (‘‘regulations’’ or ‘‘CCR regulations’’).
