**SUPPORTING STATEMENT ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY**  **NESHAP for Plywood and Composite Products (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart DDDD) (Renewal)** 
**1. Identification of the Information Collection 1(a) Title of the Information Collection**  NESHAP for Ply

wood and Composite Products (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart DDDD) (Renewal), EPA I CR Number 1984.05 , OMB Control Number 2060

- 0552 **1(b) Short Characterization/Abstract** The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Ply wood and Composite Products were proposed on January 9, 2003 , promulgated on July 30, 2004 , and was last am ended on October 29, 2007 . These regulations apply to both new and existing ply wood and to composite wood products (PCWP) facilities. Ply wood and/or composite products are manufactured by bonding wood material (fibers, particles, strands, veneers, etc.) or agricultural fiber with resin, generally under head and pressure, to form a structural panel or engineered wood product. Ply wood and composite products include, but are not limited to: ply wood; veneer; particleboard; oriented strand board; hardboard; fiberboard; medium density fiberboard; laminated strand lumber; laminated veneer lumber; w ood I

- joists; kiln

- dried lumber; and glue

- laminated beams. A PCWP manufacturing facility is a major source of hazardous air pollutant (HAP) emissions either in and of itself, or because it is located with other major sources of HAP. New facilities includ e 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 DDDD

. In general, all NESHAP standards require initial notifications, performance test s, and periodic reports by

the owners/operators of the affected facilities. They are also required to maintain records of the occurrence and duration of an y startup, shutdown, or malfunction in the operation of an affected facilit y, or in an y period d uring which the monitoring s ys tem is inoperative. These notifications, reports, and records are essential in determining compliance, and are required of all affected facilities subject to NESHAP

. Any owner/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, maintenance 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 directl y to the U

. S

. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regional office. Based on our consultations with industry representatives, there is an average of one affected facilities at each plant site and that each plant site has only one respondent (i.e., the owner/operator of the plant site).2

Over the next three ye ars, an average of 228 respondents per ye ar will be subject to the se standard s , and no additional respondents per y ear will become subject to the se standard s
. The Office of Management and Budget ( OMB) approved the currentl y active I CR without any

“Terms of Clearance.” All of the ply

wood and composite products facilities in the United States are owned and operated b y the pl ywood and composite industry (the “Affected Public”). None of the facilities in the United States are owned b y state, local, tribal or the Federal government. They are all privately

- owned , for

- profit businesses. The “ burden ” to the “Affected Public” may be found below in Table 1: Annual Respondent Burden and Cost

– NESHAP for Ply wood and Composite Products (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart DDDD ) (Renewal ). The “ burden ” to the Federal Government is attributed entirely to work performed by either F ederal employ ees or gov ernment contractors and may

be found below in Table 2: Average Annual EPA Burden and Cost

– NESHAP for Ply

wood and Composite Products (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart DDDD ) (Renewal).
**2. Need for and Use of the Collection 2(a) Need/Authority for the**  **Collection** The EPA is charged under Section 112 of the Clean Air Act, as amended, to establish standards of performance for each category or subcategory

of major sources and area sources of hazardous air pollutants. These standards are applicable to new or existing sources of hazardous air pollutants and shall require the maximum degree of emission reduction. In addition, section 114(a) states that the Administrator may require any

owner/operator subject to any requirement of this Act to: (A) Establish and maintain such records; (B) make such reports;

(C) install, use, and maintain such monitoring equipment, and use such audit procedures, or methods; (D) sample such emissions (in accordance with such procedures or methods, at such locations, at such int ervals, during such periods, and in such manner as the Administrator shall prescribe); (E) keep records on control equipment parameters, production variables or other indirect data when direct monitoring of emissions is impractical; (F) submit compliance c ertifications in accordance with Section 114(a)(3); and (G) provide such other information as the Administrator may reasonabl y require. In the Administrator's judgment, HAP emissions from PCWP manufacturing facilities which include acetaldeh yde, acrolein, formaldeh yde, methanol, phenol, and propionaldeh yde either cause or contribute to air pollution that may reasonabl y be anticipated to endanger public health and/ or welfare. Therefore, the NESHAP were promulgated for this source category at 40 CFR part 63 , subpart DDDD

. **2(b) Practical Utility/Users of the Data**3

The recordkeeping and reporting requirements in the standard ensure compliance with the applicable regulations which where promulgated in accordance with the Clean Air Act. The collected informat ion is also used for targeting inspections and as evidence in legal proceedings. Performance tests are required in order to determine an affected facility ’ s initial capability to comply

with the emission standard. Continuous e mission monitors are used to ensure compliance with the standard at all times. During the performance test a record of the operating parameters under which compliance was achieved may be recorded and used to determine compliance in place of a continuous emission monitor. The notifi cations required in the standard are used to inform the Agency or delegated authority when a source becomes subject to the requirements of the regulations. The reviewing authority may then inspect the source to check if the pollution control devices are p roperl y installed and operated , leaks are being detected and repaired , and the standard is being met. The performance test may also be observed. The required semiannual reports are used to determine periods of excess emissions, identify problems at the facility , verify operation/maintenance procedures and for compliance determinations.
**3. Non**
**- duplication, Consultations, and Other Collection Criteria**  The requested recordkeeping and reporting are required under 40 CFR part 63, subpart DDDD

. **3(a) Non**
**- duplication**  If the subject standards have not been delegated, the information is sent directl y to the appropriate EPA regional office. Otherwise, the information is sent directl y to the delegated state or local agency . If a state or local agency has ad opted its own similar standards to implement the Federal standards, a cop y of the report submitted to the state or local agency can be sent to the Administrator in lieu of the report required by the Federal standards. Therefore, duplication does not exis t. **3(b) Public Notice Required Prior to ICR Submission to OMB** An announcement of a public comment period for the renewal of this I CR was published in the Federal Register ( 78 FR 33409) on June 4, 2013. No comments were received on the burden published in the Federal Register

. **3(c) Consultations** The Agency ’s industry

experts have been consulted, and the Agency ’s internal data sources and projections of industry growth over the next three y ears have been considered.4

The primary

source of information as reported by industry , in compliance with the recordkeeping and reporting provisions in the standard, is the Online Tracking Information Sy stem (OTIS) which is operated and maintained by EPA's Office of Compliance. OTIS is EPA’s database for the collection, maintenance, and retrieval of all compliance data. The growth rate for the industry is based on our consultations with the Agency ’s internal industry experts. Industry trade associations and other interested partie s were provided an opportunity to comment on the burden associated with the standard s as they were being developed and the standard s have been reviewed previously to determine the minimum information needed for compliance purposes. Indeveloping this ICR, we contacted : 1) the American Wood Preservers Association (AWP A ), at (205) 733

- 4077 ; and 2) the Hardwood Ply wood and Veneer Association (HPVA) , at (703) 435

- 2900

. It is our policy

to respond after a thorough review of comments received since the last ICR renewal as well as those submitted in response to the first Federal Register notice. In this case, no comments were received. **3(d) Effects of Less Frequent Collection** Less frequent information collection would decrease the margin of assurance that fac ilities are continuing to meet the standards. Requirements for information gathering and recordkeeping are useful techniques to ensure that good operation and maintenance practices are applied and emission limitations are met. If the information required by these standards was collected less frequentl y, the proper operation and maintenance of control equipment and the possibility

of detecting violations would be less likely

. **3(e) General Guidelines**
T hese reporting or recordkeeping requirements do not violate any of the regulations promulgated b y OMB under 5 CFR part 1320, section 1320.5. These standards require the respondents to maintain all records, including reports and notifications for at least five y ears. This is consistent with the General Pro visions as applied to the standards. EPA believes that the five

- ye ar records retention requirement is consistent with Part 70 permit program and the five

- ye ar statute of limitations on which the permit program is based. The retention of records for five ye ars allows EPA to establish the compliance history of a source, an y pattern of non

- compliance and to determine the appropriate level of enforcement action. EPA has found that the most flagrant violators have violations extending bey ond five ye ars. In a ddition, EPA would be prevented from pursuing the violators due to the destruction or nonexistence of essential records. **3(f) Confidentiality** Any information submitted to the Agency for which a claim of confidentiality is made will be safeguarded accord ing to the Agency policies set forth in Title 40, chapter 1, part 2,5

subpart B

- Confidentiality of Business Information (CBI) (see 40 CFR 2; 41 FR 36902, September 1, 1976; amended by 43 FR 40000, September 8, 1978; 43 FR 42251, September 20, 1978; 44 FR 17674, March 23, 1979). **3(g) Sensitive Questions**
T he reporting or recordkeeping requirements in the standard do not include sensitive questions. **4. The Respondents and the Information Requested 4(a) Respondents/SIC Codes**  The respondents to the recordkeeping and reporting requirements are PCWP facilities

. The United States Standard Industrial Classification ( SI C ) code for the respondents affected b y the standards and the corresponding North American Industry Classification Sy stem (NA IC S ) codes are listed in the table below.

Electronic Reporting7

Some of the r espondents are using monitoring equipment that automatically records parameter data. Although personnel at the affected facility must still evaluate the data, internal automation has significantly reduced the burden associated with monitoring and recordkeeping at a plant site. Also, regulatory

agencies in cooperation with th e respondents continue to create reporting sy stems to transmit data electronically . However, electronic reporting s ys tems are still not widely used. At this time, it is estimated that approximately 20 percent of the respon dents use electronic reporting.

**(ii) Respondent Activities**

**Respondent Activities** Read instructions. Install, calibrate, maintain, and oper ate CMS for opacity , or for pressure drop and liquid supply pressure for control device. Perform initial performance test, Reference Methods 308, 316, 320 test , and repeat performance tests if necessary
. Write the notifications and reports listed above. Enter information required to be recorded above. Submit the required reports developing, acquiring, installing, and utilizing technology and sy stems for the purpose of collecting, validatin g, and verifying information. Develop, acquire, install, and utilize technology and sy stems for the purpose of processing and maintaining information. Develop, acquire, install, and utilize technology and sy stems for the purpose of disclosing and providing information. Train personnel to be able to respond to a collection of information. Transmit, or otherwise disclose the information. Currently sources are using monitoring and reporting equipment that provide parameter data in an automated way ( e.g., continuous parameter monitoring s ys tem ) . Although personnel at the source still need to evaluate the data, this ty pe of monitoring equipm ent has significantl y reduced the burden associated with monitoring and recordkeeping. **5. The Information Collected: Agency Activities, Collection Methodology, and Information Management** 8

**5(a) Agency Activities** EPA conducts the following activities in connection with the acquisition, analysis, storage, and distribution of the required information.
**Agency Activities** Review notifications and reports, including performance test reports, and excess emissions reports, required to be submitted by industry

. Audit facility

records. Input, anal yz e, and maintain data in the Online Tracking Information Sy stem (OTI S). **5(b) Collection Methodology and Management** Following notification of startup, the reviewing authority could inspect the source to determine whether the pollution control devices are p roperl y installed and operated. Performance test reports are used b y the Agency to discern a source ’ s initial capability to comp ly with the emission standard, and note the operating conditions under wh ich compliance was achieved. Data and records maintained by the respondents are tabulated and published for use in compliance and enforcement programs. The semiannual reports are used for problem identification, as a check on source operation and mainten ance, and for compliance determinations.
In formation contained in the reports is entered into OTI S which is operated and maintained by

EPA's Office of Compliance. OT IS is EPA ’ s database for the collection, maintenance, and retrieval of compliance data fo r approximately 125,000 industrial and government

- owned facilities. EPA uses the OTI S for tracking air pollution compliance and enforcement b y local and state regulatory agencies, EPA regional offices and EPA headquarters. EPA and its delegated Authoriti es can edit, store, retrieve and analyze the data. The records required b y this regulation must be retained by the owner/operator for five ye ars. **5(c) Small Entity Flexibility** A majority

of the respondents are large entities (i.e., large businesses). However, the impact on small entities (i.e., small businesses) was taken into consideration during the development of the regulation. Due to technical considerations involving the process operations and the ty pes of control equipment employ ed, the recordkeeping and reporting requirements are the same for both small and large entities. The Agency considers these to be the minimum requirements needed to ensure compliance and, therefore, cannot reduce them further for small9

entities. To the extent that lar ger businesses can use economies of scale to reduce their burden, the overall burden will be reduced. **5(d) Collection Schedule** The specific frequency

for each information collection activity within this request is shown below in Table 1: Annual Respond ent Burden and Cost

– NESHAP for Ply wood and Composite Products (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart DDDDD) (Renewal). **6. Estimating the Burden and Cost of the Collection** Table 1 documents the computation of individual burdens for the recordkeeping and reporting requirements applicable to the industry for the subpart included in this I CR. The individual burdens are expressed under standardized headings believed to be consistent with the concept of burden under the Paperwork Reduction Act. Where ver appropriate, s pecific tasks and major assumptions have been identified. Responses to this information collection are mandatory

. The Agency

may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it display s a currentl y valid OMB Control Number. **6(a) Estimating Respondent Burden** The average annual burden to industry over the next three y ears from these recordkeeping and reporting requirement s is estimated to be 11,687 hours ( Total Labor Hours from Table 1 shown below ). T hese hours are based on Agency studies and background documents from the development of the regulation, Agency knowledge and experience with the NESHAP p rogram, the previously

- approved ICR, and any comments received. **6(b) Estimating Respondent Costs (i) Estimating Labor Costs**  This I CR uses the following labor rates: Managerial $1 2 2

. 4 9 ($5 8

. 3 3 + 110%) Technical $ 10 1

. 2 8 ($4 8

. 2 3 + 110%) Clerical $ 50

. 80 ($2 4

. 19 + 110%) These rates are from the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, September 2012 , “ Table 2. Civilian Workers, by occupational and industry group. ” The rates are from column 1, “ Total compensation. ” The rates have been increased b y 1 10 percent to account for the benefit packages available to those employ ed by private industry

. **(ii) Estimating Capital/Startup and Operation and Maintenance Costs**10

The ty pe of industry

costs associated with the information collection activities in the s ubject standard are both labor costs which are addressed elsewhere in this ICR and the costs associated with continuous monitoring. The capital/startup costs are one

- time costs when a facility becomes subject to the regulation. The annual operation and m aintenance costs are the ongoing costs to maintain the monitor(s) and other costs such as photocop ying and postage.

This is the total of column G. The average annual cost for capital/startup and operation and maintenance costs to industry

over the next three y ears of the IC R is estimated to be $ 15,960

. These are recordkeeping costs

. **6(c) Estimating Agency Burde n and Cost**  The only costs to the Agency

are those costs associated with anal ys is of the reported information. EPA's overall compliance and enforcement program i ncludes activities such as the examination of records maint ained by the respondents, periodic inspection of sources of emissions, and the publication and distribution of collected information. The average annual Agency cost during the three y ears of the ICR is estimated to be $ 35,552

. This cost is based on the average hourl y labor rat e as follows: Managerial $ 6 2.27 (GS

- 13, Step 5, $ 3 8. 92 + 60% ) Technical $ 4 6

. 21 (GS

- 12, Step 1, $ 28. 88 + 60% ) Clerical $2 5.01 (GS

- 6, Step 3, $ 15. 63 + 60% ) These rates are from the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) , 20 1 2 General Schedule , which excludes locality

rates of pay

. The rates have been increased by 60 percent to account for11

the benefit packages available to government employ ees
. Details upon which this estimate is based appear below in Table 2: Average Annual EPA Burden and Cost

– NESHAP for Ply wood and Composite Products (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart DDDD) (Renewal). **6(d) Estimating the Respondent Universe and Total Burden and Costs** Based on our research for this I CR, on average over the next three ye ars, approximately 228 exi sting respondents will be subject to the standard. It is estimated that no additional respondents per ye ar will become subject. The overall average number of respondents, as shown in the table below, is 228 per year. The number of respondents is calcu lated using the following table that addresses the three ye ars covered b y this ICR.

The number of Total Annual Responses is 548

. The total annual labor costs are $1,143,152

. Details regarding these estimates may be found below in Table 1: Annual Respondent Burden and Cost

– NESHAP for Ply wood and Composite Products (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart DDDD) (Renewal)

. **6(e) Bottom Line Burden Hours and Cost Tables** The detailed bottom line burden hours and cost calculations for the respondents and the Agency are shown in Tables 1 and 2, respectivel y, and summarized below. **(i) Respondent Tally** The total annual labor hours are 11,687 hours at a cost of $1,143,152

. Details regarding these estimates may

be found below in Table 1 : Annual Respondent Burden and Cost

– NESHAP for Ply

wood and Composite Products (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart DDDD) (Renewal)

. Furthermore, the annual public reporting and recordkeeping burd en for this collection of information is estimated to average 21 hours per response

. The total annual capital/startup and O&M costs to the regulated entity are $0. The total Operation and Maintenance (O&M) costs to the regulated entity are $15,960. The cost calculations are detailed in Section 6(b)(iii), Capital/Startup vs. Operation and Maintenance (O&M) Costs. **(ii) The Agency Tally** The average annual capital/startup costs for this Agency burden and cost over next three ye ars is estimated to be 789 labor hours at a cost of $35,552 . See below Table 2: Average Annual EPA Burden and Cost

– NESHAP for Ply wood and Composite Products (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart DDDD) (Renewal)

. **6(f) Reasons for Change in Burden** There is an adjustment increase in the respondent burden from the most recently approved ICR . This is not due to any program changes. The adjustment increase is the result of a labor rate increa s e and a rounding correction

. The previous ICR rounded the number of hours required to record continuous parameter information. This I CR uses a more accurate estimate in calculating this burden. **6(g) Burden Statement** The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is es timated to average 21 hours per response. Burden means the total time, effort, or financial resources expended b y persons to generate, maintain, retain, or disclose or provide information14

to or for a Federal agency. This includes the time needed to review instructions; develop, acquire, install, and utilize technology and s ys tems for the purposes of collecting, validating, and verifying information, processing and maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information; adjust the existing way s to compl y 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 th e information. An agency

may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it display s a valid OMB Control Number. The OMB Control Numbers for EPA regulations are listed at 40 CFR part 9 and 48 CFR chapter 15.

**Assu mptions:** 

a We have assumed that the average number of respondents that will be subject to this rule will be 228. There will be no new a dditional sources during the next17

three years of this ICR. b This ICR uses the following labor rates: $122.49 per hour for Executive, Administrative, and Managerial labor; $101.28 per h our for Technical labor, and $50.80 per hour for Clerical labor. These rates are from the United States Department of Labor, Bur eau of Labor Statistics, September 2012, Table 2. Civilian Workers, by Occupational and Industry group. The rates are from column 1, Total Compensation. The rates have been increased by 110 percent to account for the benefit packages available to those e mp loy ed by private industry.

c We have assumed that there will be no new or reconstructed facilities during the next three years of this ICR. d We have assumed that no existing facilities will choose to use the emission averaging plan because all facilities we assume w ill install control systems and new facilities are not allowed to use emissions averaging.

e We have assumed that each responde nt will submit a request for routine control device maintenance exemption.. f We have assumed that each new facility will comply by conducting performance test(s). The notification of compliance status includes the report of the performance test(s). g We have assumed that only one new facility with softwood veneer dryers will take 120 hours to submit a notification of compli ance status without performance test(s). h We have assumed that the respondents’ compliance date is in the first half of the year, so respondents will submit one compliance report the first year that they start complying with the rule and two com pliance reports the following year. i We have assumed that 90 percent of facilities will have no deviation, and 10 percent will have deviation. j We have assumed that 10 percent of respondents will report an action taken during startup, shutdown, malfunction that are not consistent with th e SSMP. k We have assumed that 10 percent of the facilities will submit control device maintenance report. l We have assumed that no existing facilities will choose to use the emissions averaging option, and since new facilities are n ot allow ed to use emissions averaging, there will be no need to obtain emissions averaging report.

m We have assumed that it will take each new respondent 40 hours to develop a record system for recording parameter monitoring inform ation.

n We have assumed that it will take 80 hours to draft the startup, shutdown, malfunction plan, and another 20 hours to review/r evisions, for a total of 100 hours.

o Records of continuous compliance includes, records of CMS data for emission limitations and various records for w ork practice standards.
p We have assumed that calibration of the CMS will require eight hours per year for each monitor, assuming two CMS per facility for a total of 16 hours per year.
q We have assumed that it will take 40 hours for each new personnel to be trained.

r We have assumed that it will take 16 hours for personnel to complete refresher training and that 20 percent of the personnel will participate (20%x226=46).18

**Assu mptions:**  a We have assumed that the average number of respondents that will be subject to this rule will be 228. There will be no new a dditional sources during the next three years of this ICR. b This cost is based on the following labor rates w hich incorporates a 1.6 benefits multiplication factor to account for government overhead expenses: $62.27 Managerial rate (GS

- 13, Step 5, $38.92 x 1.6), $46.21 Technical rate (GS

- 12, Step 1, $28.88 x 1.6), and $25.01 Clerical rate (GS

- 6, Step 3, $15.63 x 1.6). These rate s are from the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) 2012 General Schedule which excludes locality rates of pay.

c We have assumed that there will be no new or reconstructed facilities during the next three years of this ICR. d We have assumed that no e xisting facilities will choose to use the emission averaging plan because we assume that all facilities will install control systems, and new facilities are not allow ed to use emissions averaging..

e We have assumed that all new facilities will have sub mitted a request for routine control system maintenance exemption. f We have assumed that it will take each new respondent two hours to review the notification of initial performance test. g We have assumed that all new facilities will conduct an initial performance test(s) and submit a notification of compliance s tatus that includes the report of the performance test(s). h We have assumed that one new facility per year with softwood venee r dryers will submit a notification of compliance status without performance test. i We have assumed that the facilities compliance date is in the first half of the year, so facilities will submit one complianc e report the first year that they start comp lying with the rule and two compliance reports the years that follow

. j We have assumed that 90 percent of facilities will have no deviations, and 10 percent will have deviations k We have assumed that each respondent will report any action taken durin g a startup, shutdow n, or malfunction that are consistent with the SSMP.
