Test Procedure Waiver 

1000 Independence Avenue SW 

Mail Stop EE–2J 

Washington, DC 20585–0121 

Gentlemen: 

This is a request for a waiver to the 

current, prescribed method of testing 

efficiency for the models listed on 

Certificate of Compliance 1764957 

(111946) from CSA International 

(enclosed). 

The current D.O.E. test procedures, 

found in the Federal Register Part IV10 

CFR430, notice dated May 1997, do not 

address condensing type heating 

equipment. Mantis is a condensing type 

direct heater, vented with PVC. 

The Mantis was tested for efficiency 

using portions of the ANSI/ASHRAE 

Standard 103–1993, Method of Testing 

for AFUE of Residential Central 

Furnaces and Boilers. This standard was 

used as a guideline for test procedures 

and calculations through steady state, 

including condensate collection, cooldown, heat-up and cyclic tests. Sections 

of the ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 103– 

1993 covering air temperature rise and 

static pressure cannot be applied to this 

type of equipment and were omitted. 

Enclosed you will find an email 

correspondence from Phil Gauthier of 

the AHRI Direct Heating Certification 

Program suggesting we request a waiver 

with associated pertinent information. 

Also enclosed, for your review, is our 

request for test with Intertek and 

subsequent test results. I have also 

included our correspondence with Phil 

Gauthier of AHRI recommending we 

request this waiver. 

As requested, in Word format, please 

see below those sections of ASHRAE 

103–1993 that do not apply to Mantis 

testing.

Title: NESHAP for Chemical Recovery 

Combustion Sources at Kraft, Soda, 

Sulfite, and Stand-Alone Semichemical 

Pulp Mills (Renewal) 

ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 

1805.06, OMB Control Number 2060– 

0377. 

ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to 

expire on December 31, 2011. Under 

OMB regulations, the Agency may 

continue to conduct or sponsor the 

collection of information while this 

submission is pending at OMB. 

Abstract: Hazardous air pollutant 

(HAP) emissions from chemical 

recovery combustion sources at kraft, 

soda, sulfite, and stand-alone 

semichemical pulp mills cause or 

contribute to air pollution that may 

reasonably be anticipated to endanger 

public health or welfare. Therefore, 

National Emission Standards for 

Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) 

were promulgated for this source 

category. 

The control of HAP emissions from 

chemical recovery combustion sources 

at kraft, soda, sulfite, and stand-alone 

semichemical pulp mills requires the 

installation of properly designed 

equipment and the operation and 

maintenance (O&M) of that equipment. 

This NESHAP, covering emissions from 

chemical recovery combustion sources 

at kraft, soda, sulfite, and stand-alone 

semichemical pulp mills, relies on the 

capture and/or reduction of HAP 

emissions by recovery furnaces, smelt 

dissolving tanks (SDTs), lime kilns, 

soda, and sulfite combustion units. 

Pulp mill owners or operators 

(respondents) are required to submit 

initial notifications, 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. Respondents are 

required to monitor and keep records of 

specific operating parameters for each 

control device and to perform and 

document periodic inspections of the 

closed vent and wastewater conveyance 

systems. In order to reduce the burden 

as much as possible, the compliance 

monitoring and recordkeeping 

requirements are designed to cover 

parameters that are already being 

monitored as part of the manufacturing 

process. All respondents must submit 

semiannual summary reports of 

monitored parameters, and they must 

submit an additional monitoring report 

during each quarter in which monitored 

parameters were outside the ranges 

established in the standard or during 

initial performance tests. A source 

identified to be out of compliance with 

the NESHAP will be required to submit 

quarterly reports until the Administrator 

is satisfied that the source has corrected 

its compliance problem. 

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 of 

40 CFR part 63, subpart MM, as 

authorized in section 112 and 114(a) of 

the Clean Air Act. The required 

information consists of emissions date 

and other information that have been 

determined 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 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 526 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 which have subsequently 

changed; 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: 

Chemical recovery combustion sources 

at kraft, soda, sulfite, and stand-alone 

semichemical pulp mills. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

111. 

Frequency of Response: Initially, 

occasionally, quarterly, and 

semiannually. 

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 

126,207. 

Estimated Total Annual Cost: 

$12,630,524, which includes 

$11,918,524 in labor costs, no capital/ 

startup costs, and $712,000 in operation 

and maintenance (O&M) costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: The 

adjustment decrease in burden from the 

most recently approved ICR is due to a 

more accurate estimate of existing and 

anticipated new sources. After 

consulting the Office of Air Quality 

Planning and Standards (OAQPS) and 

trade associations, our data indicates 

that there are approximately 111 sources 

subject to the rule, as compared with the 

active ICR that shows 130 sources. No 

new facilities are expected to be 

constructed over the next three years of 

this ICR. The decline in the number of 

sources is due mainly to plant closures. 

This industry is undergoing widespread 

consolidation and corporate 

restructuring. However, there is an 

increase in cost per labor hours due to 

the updated labor rates. 

Because there are no new sources 

with reporting requirements, no capital/ 

startup costs are incurred. The only cost 

that is incurred is for the operation and 

maintenance (O&M) of the monitoring 

equipment.
