Abstract: The New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for the regulations published at 40 CFR part 60, subpart H were proposed on August 17, 1971; promulgated on December 23, 1971; and amended most-recently on February 27, 2014 (79 FR 11250). These regulations apply to existing facilities and new facilities. New facilities include those that commenced construction, modification, or reconstruction after the date of proposal. A sulfuric acid plant is any facility producing sulfuric acid (H2SO4) by the contact process by burning elemental sulfur, alkylation acid, hydrogen sulfide, organic sulfides and mercaptans, or acid sludge. A sulfuric acid plant does not include facilities where conversion to sulfuric acid is used primarily as a means of preventing emissions to the atmosphere of sulfur dioxide (SO2) or other sulfur compounds. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 60, subpart H. Form Numbers: None. Respondents/affected entities: Sulfuric acid manufacturing plants. Respondent’s obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 60, subpart H). Estimated number of respondents: 53 (total). Frequency of response: Semiannually. Total estimated burden: 13,500 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b). Total estimated cost: $2,110,000 (per year), includes $416,000 annualized capital 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. First, the regulations have not changed over the past three years and are not anticipated to change PO 00000 Frm 00051 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 100999 over the next three years. Second, the growth rate for this industry is very low or non-existent, so there is no significant change in the overall burden. There is an increase in capital and operation & maintenance costs due to an adjustment to increase from 2005 to 2022 $ using the CEPCI Equipment Cost Index.
