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

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.

Abstract: The EPA is required under
section 183(e) of the Clean Air Act
(CAA) to regulate volatile organic
compound (VOC) emissions from the
use of consumer and commercial
products. Pursuant to CAA section
183(e)(3), the EPA published a list of
consumer and commercial products and
a schedule for their regulation (60 FR
15264). Architectural and industrial
maintenance coatings are included on
the list, and the standards for such
coatings are codified at 40 CFR part 59,
subpart D. 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.
Form Numbers: None.
