These new guidelines will replace the Nonpoint Source Program and Grants Guidelines for States and Territories that have been in effect since the fiscal year 2014 grant cycle. The revisions are intended to advance new science and information, engage communities, and guide the national Nonpoint Source Program.

Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Cellulose Products Manufacturing (40 CFR part 63, subpart UUUU) were proposed on August 28, 2000; promulgated on June 11, 2002; and most-recently amended on July 2, 2020. These regulations apply to each existing, reconstructed, and new Cellulose Products Manufacturing operation that is either a major source of hazardous air pollutant (HAP) emissions or is collocated with other sources that are individually, or collectively, a major source of HAP emissions. A major source either emits or has the potential to emit any single HAP at the rate of 10 tons (9.07 SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: PO 00000 Frm 00059 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 megagrams) or more per year, or any combination of HAP at a rate of 25 tons (22.68 megagrams) or more per year. New facilities include those that either commenced construction, modification or reconstruction after the date of proposal. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 63, subpart UUUU. 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: 5900–647. Respondents/affected entities: Cellulose Products Manufacturing facilities. Respondent’s obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 63, subpart UUUU). Estimated number of respondents: 8 (total). Frequency of response: Initially, semiannually. Total estimated burden: 7,256 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b). Total estimated cost: $1,134,894 (per year), which includes $120,135 in annualized capital/startup and/or operation & maintenance costs. Changes in the Estimates: There are no significant changes 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 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 and/or operation and maintenance (O&M) costs.
