Abstract: The New Source 
Performance Standards (NSPS) for Flexible Vinyl and Urethane Coating and Printing were proposed on January 18, 1983; promulgated on June 29, 1984; and amended on October 17, 2000. These regulations apply to facilities with rotogravure printing lines used to either print or coat flexible vinyl or urethane products for which construction, modification or reconstruction commenced after January 18, 1983. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 60, subpart FFF. 
Form Numbers: None. 
Respondents/affected entities: 
Flexible vinyl and urethane coating and 
printing facilities. 
Respondent’s obligation to respond: 
Mandatory (40 CFR part 60, subpart FFF). 
Estimated number of respondents: 42 
(total). 
Frequency of response: Semiannual. 
Total estimated burden: 1,340 hours 
(per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 
1320.3(b). 
Total estimated cost: $545,000 (per 
year), which includes $385,000 in annualized capital/startup and/or operation & maintenance costs. 
Changes in the Estimates: There is an 
adjustment increase in the total estimated burden as currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved Burdens. This increase is not due to any program changes. The adjustment increase in burden is due to more accurate estimates of existing and anticipated new sources. This ICR assumes a continuous growth rate of one new facility every three years. There is an increase in the operation and maintenance (O&M) costs due to an increase in the number of existing respondents from the currently approved ICR; there is no change in capital costs.

I. General Information 
A. Why is EPA issuing this notice? 
This notice is directed to the public 
to announce an action that EPA has 
taken. On September 13, 2022, EPA issued a letter granting a request for a six-month extension of the October 1, 2022, compliance date for a facility to control emissions of hydrofluorocarbon (HFC)-23, which has been posted to EPA’s website (https://www.epa.gov/ climate-hfcs-reduction/control-HFC-23- emissions) and can be found in the docket for this notice (Docket ID No. EPA–HQ–OAR–2022–0755). 
B. Background 
HFC-23 is a very potent greenhouse 
gas with a 100-year global warming 
potential (GWP) of 14,800.
1While EPA 
is also aware of limited instances where HFC-23 is captured, purified, and used for commercial purposes such as fire suppression, very low temperature refrigeration, and semiconductor manufacturing, the majority of HFC-23 is unintentionally created as a byproduct during the production of

2HCFC-22 is an ozone-depleting substance that 
has been phased out domestically under the Clean 
Air Act in line with the international phase out occurring under the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer. While HCFC-22 has been phased out of production and consumption, the chemical can still be produced for use as a feedstock to make other chemicals, such as low-GWP hydrofluoroolefins (HFOs). HFOs can be used in many of the same applications as high- GWP HFCs, so transitioning to them from HFCs can reduce emissions of greenhouse gases. certain fluorinated compounds, 
including hydrochlorofluorocarbon (HCFC)-22.
2Unless sold for a 
consumptive use, controlled, or captured and destroyed, such creation of HFC-23 is ultimately vented to the atmosphere where it contributes to climate change. HFC-23 is not an air toxic and does not pose a direct risk to local communities, but, as described in sections III and IV of a rulemaking published last year, climate change threatens the public health of the U.S. population and especially those that may be vulnerable based on their characteristics or circumstances (86 FR 55116, October 5, 2021). 
HFC-23 is a regulated substance under 
the American Innovation and Manufacturing Act of 2020 (AIM Act) enacted December 27, 2020, as section 103 in Division S, Innovation for the Environment, of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 (42 U.S.C. 7675). Under the implementing regulations at 40 CFR part 84, subpart A, EPA established, among other things, HFC-23 emission control requirements and a process for chemical producers to request limited extensions of the compliance date. These provisions were intended to ensure that high-GWP emissions of HFC-23 are promptly controlled, while allowing limited discretion to account for individual circumstances where that timeline may not be practicable. EPA estimates that from 2022 through 2050 these HFC-23 emission control requirements will have abated cumulative emissions from the Chemours Louisville Works facility of 
more than 7,000 metric tons of HFC-23, or more than 3.7 million metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent annually, and result in net present cumulative benefits of $6.4 billion in 2020 dollars at a three percent discount rate (see Regulatory Impact Analysis for Phasing Down Production and Consumption of Hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) available at https://www.epa.gov/climate-hfcs- reduction/final-rule-phasedown- hydrofluorocarbons-establishing- allowance-allocation). 
To reduce emissions of this potent 
greenhouse gas, the Agency requires in 40 CFR 84.27(a) that ‘‘[n]o later than October 1, 2022, as compared to the amount of chemical intentionally 
produced on a facility line, no more than 0.1 percent of HFC-23 created on the line may be emitted.’’ After such point, emissions of HFC-23 byproduct that exceed the 0.1 percent will be treated as violations of an applicable emissions limitation in violation of federal law and subject to any appropriate enforcement action. In 40 CFR 84.27(b), EPA further specifies that if captured HFC-23 is destroyed at a different facility than where it was produced, then HFC-23 emissions during the transportation to and destruction at the different facility are calculated into whether the producer meets the 0.1 percent HFC-23 limit. 
EPA recognized that individual 
circumstances could arise that may warrant a six-month deferral of the compliance date, subject to a one-time additional six-month extension. Requests for an extension of the HFC-23 emission control requirements were due to EPA by August 1, 2022, and requests had to contain information including a description of the specific actions the facility has taken to improve their HFC- 23 control, capture, and destruction and the facility’s plans to meet the 0.1 percent HFC-23 limit. 
II. What action was taken? 
By August 1, 2022, one company, 
Chemours Company FC, LLC, submitted 
a request for a six-month extension of the HFC-23 control requirements for its Chemours Louisville Works facility in Louisville, Kentucky. It is EPA’s understanding that the delays in installing new emission control technology were due in part to supply chain issues which prevented Chemours Louisville Works from physically taking possession of all necessary parts until July 2022. However, Chemours reported that the facility intends to have the new control technology operational and 
effective by October 1, 2022, such that the facility should be able to meet the emissions limit on the required timeline. The primary purpose of Chemours requesting the extension is to allow time to measure, validate, and optimize the effectiveness of the process change at the facility. Chemours expects to complete this validation by the end of the year, three months in advance of the extended compliance deadline. 
EPA determined that the requestor 
submitted a timely and complete request with a credible rationale for an extension and a reasonable plan to meet compliance requirements. The Agency granted this extension with the understanding that Chemours will have all necessary equipment onsite, operational, and effective by October 1, 2022, and will be running that 
equipment from that date onwards. With this understanding and EPA’s 
review of the submitted information, the Agency granted the request in a letter dated September 13, 2022. 
EPA will monitor the facility’s 
progress on meeting the emission control requirements and intends to post status updates to its website at https://www.epa.gov/climate-hfcs- reduction/control-HFC-23-emissions as 
information becomes available for public release. This will help ensure interested stakeholders are aware of the facility’s current status and progress toward meeting the HFC-23 emission limit.
