*Title:*                     NESHAP for Off-Site Waste and Recovery Operations (Renewal).                

*ICR Numbers:*                     EPA ICR Number 1717.05; OMB Control Number 2060-0313.                

*ICR Status:*                     This ICR is scheduled to expire on May 31, 2007. Under OMB regulations, the Agency may continue to conduct or sponsor the collection of information while this submission is pending at OMB. An Agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. The OMB control numbers for EPA's regulations in title 40 of the CFR, after appearing in the                     **Federal Register**                     when approved, are listed in 40 CFR part 9, are displayed either by publication in the                     **Federal Register**                     or by other appropriate means, such as on the related collection instrument or form, if applicable. The display of OMB control numbers in certain EPA regulations is consolidated in 40 CFR part 9.                

*Abstract:*                     The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Off-Site Waste and Recovery Operations (40 CFR part 63, subpart DD) were proposed on October 13, 1994, and promulgated on July 1, 1996. These standards apply to hazardous air pollutants (HAP) emissions from selected facilities involved in waste management and recovery operations that are not subject to Federal air standards under other subparts in part 63 commencing construction, modification or reconstruction after the date of proposal if the facility is a “major source” of HAP emissions as defined in general provisions to 40 CFR part 63 or the facility has the potential to emit more than 10 tons per year for a single HAP or more than 25 tons per year for multiple HAP. In addition, subpart DD cross-references control requirements to be applied to specific types of affected sources: tanks-level 1, containers, surface impoundments, individual drain systems, oil-water separators and organic water separators, loading, transfer, and storage systems. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 63, subpart DD. Organic HAP emissions are the pollutants regulated under this subpart.                

Owners or operators of the affected facilities described must make one-time-only notifications. Owners or operators 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. Semiannual reports of excess emissions (or reports certifying that no exceedances have occurred) are required. These notifications, reports, and records are essential in determining compliance; and are required, in general, of all sources subject to NESHAP.

Any owner or operator subject to the provisions of this part shall maintain a file of these measurements, and retain the file for at least five years following the date of such measurements, maintain reports, and records. All reports are sent to the delegated state or local authority. In the event that there is no such delegated authority, the reports are sent directly to the EPA regional office. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 63, subpart DD as authorized in section 112 and 114(a) of the Clean Air Act. The required information consists of emissions data and other information that have been determined not to be private.

An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB Control Number. The OMB control numbers for EPA's regulations are listed in 40 CFR part 9 and 48 CFR chapter 15, and are identified on the form and/or instrument, if applicable.

*Burden Statement:*                     The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average approximately 218 hours per response. Burden means the total time, effort, or financial resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or disclose or provide information to or for a Federal agency. This includes the time needed to review instructions; develop, acquire, install, and utilize technology and systems for the purposes of collecting, validating, and verifying information, processing and maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information; adjust the existing ways to comply with any previously applicable instructions and requirements; train personnel to be able to respond to a collection of information; search data sources; complete and review the collection of information; and transmit or otherwise disclose the information.                

*Respondents/Affected Entities:*                     Off-Site Waste and Recovery Operations.                

*Estimated Number of Respondents:*                     236.                

*Frequency of Response:*                     Initially, on occasion, and semiannually.                

*Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:*                     154,306 hours.                

*Estimated Total Costs:*                     $9,928,473, which includes $0 annualized Capital Startup Costs, $5,000 annualized Operations & Maintenance (O&M) Costs and $9,923,473 annualized labor costs.                

*Changes in the Estimates:*                     There is no change in the labor hours in this ICR compared to the previous ICR. This is due to two considerations. First, the regulations have not changed over the past three years and are not anticipated to change over the next three years. Secondly, the growth rate for the industry is very low, negative or non-existent, so there is no significant change in the overall burden. There is a $5,000 correction to the burden cost to cover operations and maintenance costs for photocopying and postage which were not included in the previous ICR approval.
