Abstract: The New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for the regulations published at 40 CFR part 60, subpart CCCC apply to either owners or operators of a combustion device used to combust commercial and industrial waste, and that meet either of the following two criteria: (1) began construction either on or after December 31, 1999; or (2) began either reconstruction or modification either on or after June 1, 2001. Commercial and industrial waste is a solid waste combusted in an enclosed device using controlled-flame combustion without energy recovery, which is a distinct operating unit of any commercial or industrial facility, including fielderected, modular, and custom-built incineration units operating with starved or excess air, or solid waste combusted in an air curtain incinerator without energy recovery that is a distinct operating unit of any commercial or industrial facility. In general, all NSPS standards require VerDate Sep<11>2014 22:43 Dec 23, 2022 Jkt 259001 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 the NSPS. Form Numbers: None. Respondents/affected entities: Owners and operators of CISWI units that are subject to the year 2000 standards. Respondent’s obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 60, subpart CCCC). Estimated number of respondents: 13 (total). Frequency of response: Annually, semiannually. Total estimated burden: 2,800 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b). Total estimated cost: $512,000 (per year), which includes $176,000 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 in burden is not due to any program changes. Instead, the decrease is due to a decrease in the number of respondents to reflect facility closures. There is also a decrease in Capital/Startup and Operation and Maintenance costs due to a decrease in the number of sources. Courtney Kerwin, Director, Regulatory Support Division.

ACTION: Notice. AGENCY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is announcing the availability of the final revision to the risk determination for the carbon SUMMARY: PO 00000 Frm 00031 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 79303 tetrachloride risk evaluation issued under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA). The revision to the carbon tetrachloride risk determination reflects the announced policy changes to ensure the public is protected from unreasonable risks from chemicals in a way that is supported by science and the law. EPA determined that carbon tetrachloride, as a whole chemical substance, presents an unreasonable risk of injury to health when evaluated under its conditions of use. In addition, this revised risk determination does not reflect an assumption that workers always appropriately wear personal protective equipment (PPE). EPA understands that there could be adequate occupational safety protections in place at certain workplace locations; however, not assuming use of PPE reflects EPA’s recognition that unreasonable risk may exist for subpopulations of workers that may be highly exposed because they are not covered by Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) standards, or their employers are out of compliance with OSHA standards, or because many of OSHA’s chemicalspecific permissible exposure limits largely adopted in the 1970’s are described by OSHA as being ‘‘outdated and inadequate for ensuring protection of worker health,’’ or because EPA finds unreasonable risk for purposes of TSCA notwithstanding OSHA requirements. This revision supersedes the condition of use-specific no unreasonable risk determinations in the November 2020 Carbon Tetrachloride Risk Evaluation and withdraws the associated TSCA order included in the November 2020 Carbon Tetrachloride Risk Evaluation.

    Abstract: The New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for the 
regulations published at 40 CFR part 60, subpart CCCC apply to either 
owners or operators of a combustion device used to combust commercial 
and industrial waste, and that meet either of the following two 
criteria: (1) began construction either on or after December 31, 1999; 
or (2) began either reconstruction or modification either on or after 
June 1, 2001. Commercial and industrial waste is a solid waste 
combusted in an enclosed device using controlled-flame combustion 
without energy recovery, which is a distinct operating unit of any 
commercial or industrial facility, including field-erected, modular, 
and custom-built incineration units operating with starved or excess 
air, or solid waste combusted in an air curtain incinerator without 
energy recovery that is a distinct operating unit of any commercial or 
industrial facility. In general, all NSPS 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 the 
NSPS.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Owners and operators of CISWI units 
that are subject to the year 2000 standards.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 60, 
subpart CCCC).
    Estimated number of respondents: 13 (total).
    Frequency of response: Annually, semiannually.
    Total estimated burden: 2,800 hours (per year). Burden is defined 
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $512,000 (per year), which includes $176,000 
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 in burden is not due to any program 
changes. Instead, the decrease is due to a decrease in the number of 
respondents to reflect facility closures. There is also a decrease in 
Capital/Startup and Operation and Maintenance costs due to a decrease 
in the number of sources.
