Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for the Generic Maximum Achievable Control Technology (GMACT) Standards published at (40 CFR part 63, subpart YY) were promulgated on July 12, 2002 (67 FR 46257), and amended on April 13, 2005 E:\FR\FM\18DEN1.SGM 18DEN1 khammond on DSK9W7S144PROD with NOTICES Federal Register / Vol. 89, No. 243 / Wednesday, December 18, 2024 / Notices (70 FR 19266). These regulations apply to existing and new carbon black (CB), cyanide (CY), ethylene (ET), and spandex (SP) facilities that would be subject to the major source provisions specified under the GMACT NESHAP. New facilities include those that commenced construction or reconstruction after the date of proposal. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 63, subpart YY. 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: 5900–484. Respondents/affected entities: Owners and operators of carbon black production facilities. Respondent’s obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 63, subpart YY). Estimated number of respondents: 15 (total). Frequency of response: Annually, semiannually. Total estimated burden: 240 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b). Total estimated cost: $84,300 (per year), includes $51,500 annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs. Changes in the Estimates: The increase in burden from the most recently approved ICR is due to a revised application of costs when compared to the final RTR ICR. In the previous ICR renewal, semiannual reports were incorrectly labeled as occurring once per year. This line item is now adjusted to occur twice per year. Additionally, there is an increase in costs, which is due to the use of updated labor rates. This ICR uses labor rates from the most recent Bureau of Labor Statistics report (December 2023) to calculate respondent burden costs. Capital/Startup and O&M costs also increased due to a revised application of costs when compared to the final RTR ICR. The Capital/Startup and O&M costs were increased from 2021 $ to 2023 $ using the CEPCI Index.

The information collection includes initial reports and periodic recordkeeping necessary for the EPA to ensure compliance with federal standards for VOC in architectural coatings. Respondents are manufacturers, distributors, and importers of architectural coatings. Responses to the collection are mandatory under 40 CFR part 59, subpart D—National Volatile Organic Compound Emission Standards for Architectural Coatings. All information submitted to the EPA for which a claim of confidentiality is made will be safeguarded according to the agency policies set forth in 40 CFR part 2, subpart B—Confidentiality of Business Information.
