Abstract: The National Emission
Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants
(NESHAP) for the Manufacture of
Amino/Phenolic Resins (40 CFR part 63,
subpart OOO) were proposed on
December 14, 1998; promulgated on
January 20, 2000; and amended on:
April 20, 2006; October 8, 2014; October
15, 2018; and November 19, 2020. These
regulations apply to existing facilities
and new facilities that manufacture
amino/phenolic resins with HAP
emissions points that include: (1)
reactor batch process vents; (2)
nonreactor batch process vents; (3)
continuous process vents; (4) equipment
leaks; (5) wastewater; (6) storage vessels;
and (7) heat exchangers. New facilities
include those that either commenced
construction, modification, or
reconstruction after the date of the
proposal. This information is being
collected to assure compliance with 40
CFR part 63, subpart OOO.
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
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

compliance, and are required of all
affected facilities subject to NESHAP.
Form Numbers: None.
Respondents/affected entities:
Amino/phenolic resins manufacturing
facilities.
Respondent’s obligation to respond:
Mandatory (40 CFR part 63, subpart
OOO).
Estimated number of respondents: 19
(total).
Frequency of response: Initially,
occasionally, quarterly, semiannually,
and annually.
Total estimated burden: 23,300 hours
(per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR
1320.03(b).
Total estimated cost: $5,080,000 (per
year), which includes $2,280,000 in
annualized capital/startup and/or
operation & maintenance costs.
Changes in the Estimates: There is no
change in burden from the most recently
approved ICR as currently identified in
the OMB Inventory of Approved
Burdens. This is due to two
considerations: (1) the regulations have
not changed over the past three years
and are not anticipated to change over
the next three years; and (2) the growth
rate for this industry is either very low
or non-existent, so there is no
significant change in the overall burden.
Since there are no changes in the
regulatory requirements and there is no
significant industry growth, there are
also no changes in the capital/startup or
operation and maintenance (O&M)
activities. This ICR also updates the
capital/startup and O&M costs from
2014 to 2020, using the annual
Chemical Engineering Plant Cost Index
(CEPCI).

Abstract: EPA issued New Source
Performance Standards (NSPS) and
Emission Guidelines (EG) and
Compliance Times for Existing
Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) Landfills
under the regulations published at 40
CFR part 60, subparts WWW and Cc,
promulgated on March 12, 1996, revised
on June 16, 1998, and February 24,
1999. The Federal plan requirements
implementing the regulations were
published at 40 CFR part 62, subpart
GGG, promulgated on November 8,
1999. On August 29, 2016, EPA
finalized 40 CFR part 60, subpart XXX,
based on review of 40 CFR part 60,
subpart WWW, which applies to MSW
landfills that are either new, or
reconstructed, or modified after July 17,
2014 (effective October 28, 2016).
Concurrently, EPA finalized revised
Emissions Guidelines under 40 CFR part
60, subpart Cf, which apply to existing
landfills accepting waste after
November 8, 1987, for which
construction was commenced either on
or before July 17, 2014. The revised
guidelines are implemented under state
or Federal plans. EPA finalized a
Federal plan implementing 40 CFR part
60, subpart Cf under 40 CFR part 62,
subpart OOO on May 21, 2021. This ICR
includes burden for MSW landfills that
are subject to the requirements of
Subpart Cf, which are implemented
under State plans and a ‘Federal’ plan
(40 CFR part 62, subpart OOO). All
MSW landfills that are subject to the
original NSPS (40 CFR part 60, subpart
WWW), the Federal plan (40 CFR part
62, subpart GGG), or a state plan
implementing the original emission
guidelines (40 CFR part 60, subpart Cc)
were required to comply with their
current requirements unless and until
they are covered by a more stringent
State or Federal plan implementing the
emission guidelines in subpart Cf. Since
EPA has finalized the Federal plan at 40
CFR part 62, subpart OOO, all
respondents previously subject to
Subpart WWW, a state plan
implementing subpart Cc, or GGG, are
now either subject to either a state plan
under implementing 40 CFR part 60,
PO 00000
Frm 00040
Fmt 4703

subpart Cf, or must comply with the
Federal plan under 40 CFR part 62,
subpart OOO, or if they have modified
since July 17, 2014, they must now
comply with the NSPS at 40 CFR part
60, subpart XXX. Subpart Cf reduces the
NMOC emission rate threshold from the
previous level of 50 megagrams per year
(Mg/yr) to 34 Mg/yr for landfills that are
not closed as of August 29, 2016. The
final rule retained the design capacity
cutoff of 2.5 million Mg and 2.5 million
cubic meters in the current emission
guidelines. Closed landfills retain the
same NMOC threshold of 50 Mg/yr, as
was the case under Subpart WWW.
Closed landfills are also exempted from
the one-time reporting requirements,
provided the landfill fulfilled
requirements under the NSPS (40 CFR
part 60, subpart WWW), the Federal
plan (40 CFR part 62, subpart GGG), or
a state plan implementing 40 CFR part
60 Subpart Cc.
Respondents/affected entities:
Existing MSW landfills that have
accepted waste since November 8, 1987,
and commenced either construction,
reconstruction, or modification on or
before July 17, 2014.
Respondent’s obligation to respond:
Mandatory (40 CFR part 60, subpart Cf
and 40 CFR part 62, subpart OOO).
Estimated number of respondents:
1,887 (total).
Frequency of response: Initially,
annually.
Total estimated burden: 605,260
hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5
CFR 1320.3(b).
Total estimated cost: $44,154,000 (per
year), which includes $2,710,000 in
annualized capital and/or operation &
maintenance costs.
Changes in the Estimates: The
decrease in burden from the currently
approved ICR is due to an adjustment.
The decrease in the number of
respondents reflects the lower expected
number of landfills controlling based on
projected emissions, as well as the
number of landfills subject based on
waste disposal quantities which
increase over time at active landfills.
The number of respondents also
assumes that landfills will be controlled
under the more stringent 34 Mg/yr
requirements. The estimates subtract out
landfills expected to modify and
become subject to the MSW landfill
2016 NSPS Subpart XXX instead (OMB
Control Number 2060–0697). This ICR
therefore reflects a decrease in the total
number of respondents subject to the
rule, but a similar number of controlling
landfills subject to monitoring and
testing requirements. There is a slight
increase in burden for states/local
agencies implementing state/local

agency plans due to an increase in the
number of states/local agencies
enforcing State Plans. There is a
decrease in the capital costs due to a
decrease in the number of respondents
expected to install controls and
therefore conduct initial performance
tests and install monitoring equipment.

Abstract: Pursuant to section 4(g) of
the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and
Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), EPA
determined that several soil and nonsoil fumigants are eligible for continuing
registration only if specific risk
mitigation measures, are adopted and
adequately implemented. This ICR
documents the PRA activities that users,
registrants, and participating states must
conduct to implement fumigant risk
mitigation measures for the chemicals
identified in this document. The PRA
burden activities include: Registrant
activities to develop and implement
training for fumigators in charge of
fumigations, develop and disseminate
safety information for handlers, develop
and implement community outreach
and education programs, and develop
and implement first responder training;
and labeling activities for fumigant
products which includes user posting
requirements concerning fumigant
applications around the use site,
providing notice of soil fumigant
applications to applicable states,
PO 00000

preparing a Fumigant Management Plan
(FMP) and Post-Application Summary
(PAS) as needed, participating in an
EPA-approved fumigant training
program, and disseminating fumigant
safe handling information to handlers.
Form Numbers: None.
Respondents/affected entities: Entities
potentially affected by this ICR are soil
and non-soil fumigant users, specifically
certified applicators and agriculture
pesticide handlers (North American
Industrial Classification System
(NAICS) 111000-Agriculture, Forestry,
Fishing and Hunting); soil and non-soil
fumigant registrants (NAICS 325300Pesticide, Fertilizer, and Other
Agricultural Chemical Manufacturing);
and state and tribal lead agencies
(NAICS 999200-State Government).
Respondent’s obligation to respond:
Mandatory (FIFRA sections 3(c)(2)(B)
and 3(c)(5)).
Estimated number of respondents:
118,436 (total).
Frequency of response: On occasion.
Total estimated burden: 841,738
hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5
CFR 1320.03(b).
Total estimated cost: $35,566,696 (per
year), which includes $1,060,214
annualized capital or operation &
maintenance costs.
Changes in the Estimates: There is a
decrease of 309,158 hours in the total
estimated respondent burden compared
with the ICR currently approved by
OMB. This decrease is due to the update
in the estimate of number of applicators
certified and handlers for soil and nonsoil fumigations. There is also a
decrease in burden costs for both types
of fumigation due to updating the wages
to the current 2021 data provided by the
U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. This is
an adjustment.

Abstract: EPA issued New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) and
Emission Guidelines (EG) and Compliance Times for Existing Municipal
Solid Waste (MSW) Landfills under the regulations published at 40 CFR
part 60, subparts WWW and Cc, promulgated on March 12, 1996, revised on
June 16, 1998, and February 24, 1999. The Federal plan requirements
implementing the regulations were published at 40 CFR part 62, subpart
GGG, promulgated on November 8, 1999. On August 29, 2016, EPA finalized
40 CFR part 60, subpart XXX, based on review of 40 CFR part 60, subpart
WWW, which applies to MSW landfills that are either new, or
reconstructed, or modified after July 17, 2014 (effective October 28,
2016). Concurrently, EPA finalized revised Emissions Guidelines under
40 CFR part 60, subpart Cf, which apply to existing landfills accepting
waste after November 8, 1987, for which construction was commenced
either on or before July 17, 2014. The revised guidelines are
implemented under state or Federal plans. EPA finalized a Federal plan
implementing 40 CFR part 60, subpart Cf under 40 CFR part 62, subpart
OOO on May 21, 2021. This ICR includes burden for MSW landfills that
are subject to the requirements of Subpart Cf, which are implemented
under State plans and a `Federal' plan (40 CFR part 62, subpart OOO).
All MSW landfills that are subject to the original NSPS (40 CFR part
60, subpart WWW), the Federal plan (40 CFR part 62, subpart GGG), or a
state plan implementing the original emission guidelines (40 CFR part
60, subpart Cc) were required to comply with their current requirements
unless and until they are covered by a more stringent State or Federal
plan implementing the emission guidelines in subpart Cf. Since EPA has
finalized the Federal plan at 40 CFR part 62, subpart OOO, all
respondents previously subject to Subpart WWW, a state plan
implementing subpart Cc, or GGG, are now either subject to either a
state plan under implementing 40 CFR part 60, subpart Cf, or must
comply with the Federal plan under 40 CFR part 62, subpart OOO, or if
they have modified since July 17, 2014, they must now comply with the
NSPS at 40 CFR part 60, subpart XXX. Subpart Cf reduces the NMOC
emission rate threshold from the previous level of 50 megagrams per
year (Mg/yr) to 34 Mg/yr for landfills that are not closed as of August
29, 2016. The final rule retained the design capacity cutoff of 2.5
million Mg and 2.5 million cubic meters in the current emission
guidelines. Closed landfills retain the same NMOC threshold of 50 Mg/
yr, as was the case under Subpart WWW. Closed landfills are also
exempted from the one-time reporting requirements, provided the
landfill fulfilled requirements under the NSPS (40 CFR part 60, subpart
WWW), the Federal plan (40 CFR part 62, subpart GGG), or a state plan
implementing 40 CFR part 60 Subpart Cc.
Respondents/affected entities: Existing MSW landfills that have
accepted waste since November 8, 1987, and commenced either
construction, reconstruction, or modification on or before July 17,
2014.
Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 60,
subpart Cf and 40 CFR part 62, subpart OOO).
Estimated number of respondents: 1,887 (total).
Frequency of response: Initially, annually.
Total estimated burden: 605,260 hours (per year). Burden is defined
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
Total estimated cost: $44,154,000 (per year), which includes
$2,710,000 in annualized capital and/or operation & maintenance costs.
Changes in the Estimates: The decrease in burden from the currently
approved ICR is due to an adjustment. The decrease in the number of
respondents reflects the lower expected number of landfills controlling
based on projected emissions, as well as the number of landfills
subject based on waste disposal quantities which increase over time at
active landfills. The number of respondents also assumes that landfills
will be controlled under the more stringent 34 Mg/yr requirements. The
estimates subtract out landfills expected to modify and become subject
to the MSW landfill 2016 NSPS Subpart XXX instead (OMB Control Number
2060-0697). This ICR therefore reflects a decrease in the total number
of respondents subject to the rule, but a similar number of controlling
landfills subject to monitoring and testing requirements. There is a
slight increase in burden for states/local agencies implementing state/
local
[[Page 5002]]
agency plans due to an increase in the number of states/local agencies
enforcing State Plans. There is a decrease in the capital costs due to
a decrease in the number of respondents expected to install controls
and therefore conduct initial performance tests and install monitoring
equipment.
