SUPPORTING STATEMENT ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY NESHAP for Beryllium Rocket Motor Fuel Firing ( 1. Identification of the Information Collection 1(a) Title of the Information Collection
NESHAP for Beryllium Rocket Motor Fuel Firing (40 CFR p art 61, s ubpart D) (Renewal)

1(b) Short Characterization/Abstract The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for the regulations published at 40 CFR 61.40 were promulgated on April 6, 1973 and amended on November 7, 1985 for thi s source category. These regulations apply to existing facilities and new facilities that test rocket motors that use beryllium propellant. New facilities are those that commenced construction or reconstruction after the date of promulgation. This infor mation is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 61, subpart D. In general, all NESHAP standards require owners or operators of the affected facilities to submit initial notifications including, performance test, and periodic reports. Owne rs or operators are also required to maintain records of the occurrence and duration of any s tartup, shutdown, or malfunction in the operation of an affected facility, or any period during which the monitoring sy stem is inoperative. These notifications, reports, and records are essential in determining compliance, and are required of all sources subject to NESHAP. Any owner or operator subject to the provisions of this part will maintain a file of these measurements, and retain the file for at least two y ears 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 directly to the United States Env ironmental Protection Agency (EPA) regional office.
In o rder to ensure compliance with the standards, adequate record keeping and reporting is necessary
. T his information enables the Agency t o: (1) identify

the sources subject to the standard; (2) ensure initial compliance with emission limits; and (3) verify continuous compliance with the standard. Specifically , the rule requires subject test sites to test ambient air for beryllium during and after firing of a rocket motor. Samples are analy zed within 30 days and results are reported to the EPA Region by

r egistered letter by

the business day

f ollowing the determination. T he rule also requires stack sampling of beryllium combustion products during and after firing of rocket motor, and anal ys is and reporting within 30 day s. The results are reported to EPA by the day following the determination and calculation.
There is one test facility

and three to four stored beryllium fueled rockets subject to NESHAP 40 CFR part 61, subpart D. It is estimated that no additional new sources will becom e2

subject to the regulation in the next three years. It is assumed that there is one affected facility per plant. There is approximately one beryllium fueled rocket plant in the United States, which is owned and operat ed b y the beryl lium fueled rocket industry. This one facility i n the United States is not owned by state, local, tribal or the Federal government. This facility is owned and operated by privately owned for

- profit business. You can find the burden to the “Affected Public” listed below in Table 1: Annual Industry Burden and Cost

- NESHAP for Beryllium Rocket Motor Fuel Firing (40 CFR p art 61, s ubpart D) (Renewal) . The Federal government burden does not include work performed by Federal employees. The burden refers onl y t o work performed by contractors, which could be found listed below in Table 2: Average Annual EPA Burden

- Beryllium Rocket Motor Fuel Firing (40 CFR p art 61, s ubpart D) (Renewal)

. The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approved the currently active ICR without any “Terms of Clearance.”
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 cat egory or subcategory

of major sources and area sources of hazardous air pollutants (HAP). T hese standards are applicable to new or existing sources of HAP and shall require the maximum degree of emission reduction. In addition, section 114(a) states that the Administrator may require an y o wner or operator subject to any r equirement 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 intervals, during such periods, and in such manner as the Administrator shall prescribe); (E) keep records on control equipment parameters, productio n variables or other indirect data when direct monitoring of emissions is impractical; (F) submit compliance certifications 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, beryllium emissions from beryllium rocket motor test sites, cause or contribute to air pollution that may reasonabl y be anticipated to endanger public health or welfare. Therefore, the NESHAP was promulgated for this source category at 40 CFR part 61, subpart D. 2(b) Practical Utility/Users of the Data The recordkeeping and reporting requirements in the standard ensure compliance with the3

applicable regulations which were promulgated in accordance with the Clean Air Act. The col lected information is also used for targeting inspections and as evidence in legal proceedings. Performance tests are required in order to determine an affected facility’s i nitial capability to comply

with the emission standard. Continuous emission monit ors are used to ensure compliance with the standard at all times. During the performance tests, 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 notifications 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 ensure that the pollution c ontrol devices are properl y installed and operated, that leaks are being detected and repaired, and that the standards are being met. The performance test may also be observed. 3. Nonduplication, Consultations, and Other Collection Criteria The request ed recordkeeping and reporting are required under 40 CFR part 61, subpart D. 3(a) Nonduplication If the subject standards have not been delegated, the information is sent directly to the appropriate EPA regional office. Otherwise, the information is se nt directl y to the delegated state or local agency
. If a state or local agency h as adopted their 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 b y the Federal standards. Therefore, no duplication exists. 3(b) Public Notice Required Prior to ICR Submission to OMB An announcement of a public comment period for the renewal of this IC R was published in the Federal Register ( 7 2 FR 1073 5 ) on March 9, 2007. N o comments were received on the burden published in the Federal Register

. 3(c) Consultations
T he Agency ’s industry

experts have been consulted, and the Agency ’s internal data sources and projections of industry growth ov er the next three years have been considered. The primary source of information as reported b y industry , in compliance with the recordkeeping and reporting provisions in the standard, is the Online Tracking Information System (OTI S) which is operated and maintained by the EPA Office of Compliance. OTIS is the EPA database for the collection, maintenance, and retrieval of all compliance data. The growth rate for the industry is based on our consultations with the Agen cy ’s internal industry experts. Appro ximately seventeen respondents will be subject to the standard over the three

- year period covered by this ICR. Industry trade associations and other interested parties were provided an opportunity to comment on the burden associated with the standard as i t was being developed , and the standard4

has been previously

reviewed to determine the minimum information needed for compliance purposes. It is our polic y t o respond after a thorough review of comments received since the last ICR renewal as well as those submitted in response to the f irst Federal Register n otice. 3(d) Effects of Less Frequent Collection Less frequent information collection would decrease the margin of assurance that facilities are continuing to meet the standards. Requirements for info rmation 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 b y these standards was collected less frequentl y, the proper operat ion and maintenance of control equipment and the possibility of detecting violations would be less likely

. 3(e) General Guidelines None of these reporting or recordkeeping requirements violate any of the regulations established by

OMB at 5 CFR part 1320 , section 1320.5.
3 (f) Confidentiality Any i nformation submitted to the Agency for which a claim of confidentiality i s made will be safeguarded according to the Agency policies set forth in title 40, chapter 1, part 2, subpart B

- Confidentiality

of B usiness Information (CBI), (see 40 CFR 2; 41 FR 36902, September 1, 1976; amended b y 43 FR 40000, September 8, 1978; 43 FR 42251, September 20, 1978; 44 FR 17674, March 23, 1979). 3(g) Sensitive Questions None of the reporting or recordkeeping requireme nts contain sensitive questions. 4. The Respondents and the Information Requested 4(a) Respondents/SIC Codes The respondents to the recordkeeping and reporting requirements are beryllium. The United States Standard Industrial Classification (SI C) co de for the respondents affected by the standard is 3764 which correspond to the North American Industry Classification Sy stem (NAICS) 336415 for rocket motor test sites. 4(b) Information Requested None of these reporting or recordkeeping requirements vi olate an y of the regulations established by

OMB at 5 CFR part 1320, section 1320.5.5 (i) Data Items In this ICR, all the data recorded or reported is required by National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Beryllium Rocket Motor Fuel Firing (40 CFR Part 61, Subpart D)

. A source must make the following reports:
Notifications Notification and application of construction, reconstruction 61.06, and 61.07 Notification of anticipated date of initial startup 61.09(a)(1) Notification of ac tual startup 61.09(a)(2) Notification of ph ys ical or operational change which may increase the emission rate 61.15 Notification of performance tests 61.13(f) and 61.14(c) Notification of anticipated firing 61.43 or 61.44 Emission source reporting 61.10 (a) Emission test report and ambient air quality report 61.43 and 61.44 A source must keep the following records: Recordkeeping Maintain records of monitoring data, monitoring system calibration checks, and the occurrence and duration of periods wher e the monitoring s ys tem is malfunctioning or inoperative. Records shall be retained for at least two years. 61.14(f)
Record air sampling results. Records are required to be retained for two years. 61.43 Record emission test results 61.44 Make records available to Agency 61.43, and 61.44

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

agencies in cooperation with the respondents continue to create reporting sy stems to transmit data electronically. However, electronic repo rting s ys tems are still not widely used. At this time, the one facility that is subject to this rule does not report electronically

.6

(ii) Respondent Activities Respondent Activities Read instructions. During test firing, ambient air concentrations sh all be measured during and after test firing or propellant disposal, in such a manner that emissions can be compared with the standard. During test firing, continuously sample emissions from the test tank as per method 104 (or alternatel y, Method 103). Write the notification 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, validating, 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. A djust the existing way s to comply with an y previously applicable instructions and requirements. Train personnel to be able to respond to a collection of information. Transmit, or otherwise disclose the information. Currently , sources are using monitoring equipment that provides 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 equipment has significantly reduced the burden associate d with monitoring and recordkeeping. 5. The Information Collected: Agency Activities, Collection Methodology, and Information Management 5(a) Agency Activities
EPA conducts the following activities in connection with the acquisition, analy sis, storage , and distribution of the required information. Agency Activities Observe air sampling tests and emission tests. Review notifications and reports, including emission 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).7

5(b) Collection Methodology and Management Following notification of startup, the reviewing authority might inspect the source to determine whether the pollution control devices are properl y i nstalled and operational. P erformance test reports are used b y the Agency to discern a source’s initial capability to comply

with the emission standard, and note the operating conditions under which compliance was achieved. Data and records mai ntained by the respondents are tabulated and published for use in compliance and enforcement programs.
In formation contained in the reports is entered into OTI S which is operated and maintained by the EPA Office of Compliance. OTIS is the EPA database fo r the collection, maintenance, and retrieval of compliance data for approximately 125,000 industrial and government

- owned facilities. E PA uses OTIS for tracking air pollution compliance and enforcement by l ocal and state regulatory

a gencies, EPA regional offices, and EPA headquarters. EPA delegated Authorities can edit, store, retrieve and analyze the data. The records required b y this regulation must be retained by the owner or operator for two ye ars. 5(c) Small Entity Flexibility The 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 operatio ns and the ty pes of control equipment employed, 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 reduc e them further for small entities. T o the ex tent that larger businesses can use economies of scale to reduce their burden, the overall burden will be reduced. 5(d) Collection Schedule The specific frequency

f or each information collection activity w ith in this request is shown in Table 1: Annual Industry Burden for NESHAP for Beryllium Rocket Motor Fuel Firing (40 CFR p art 61, s ubpart D)

. 6. Estimating the Burden and Cost of the Collection Table 1 documents the computation of individual burdens for th e 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. Wherever appropriate, specific 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 displays a currently valid OMB Control Number.8

6(a) Estimating Respondent Burden The average annual burden to industry over the next three years from these recordkeeping and reporting requirements is estimated to be eight (Total Labor Hours f rom Table 1). T hese hours are based on Agency

studies and background documents from the development of the regulation, Agency knowledge and experience with the NESHAP program, the previously a pproved I CR, and any comments received. 6(b) Estimating Respo ndent Costs (i) Estimating Labor Costs Managerial $95.32 ($45.39 + 110%) Technical $64.60 ($30.76 + 110%) Clerical $40.09 ($19.09 + 110%)
These rates are from the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, December 200 3, “Table 2 . Private industry, b y o ccupational and industry group.” The rates are from column 1, “Total compensation.” The rates have been increased b y 110 percent to account for the benefit packages available to those employed by private industry

. (ii) Estimating Capital/Startup and Operation and Maintenance Costs The only costs to the regulated industry resulting from information collection activities required b y the subject standard are labor costs. There are no capital/startup or operation and ma intenance costs.

(iii) Capital/Startup vs. Operation and Maintenance (O&M) Costs The only t ype of industry costs associated with the information collection activity in the regulations is labor costs. There are no capital/startup or operation and maintenance costs. 6(c) Estimating Agency Burden and Cost The only costs to the Agency

are those costs associated with anal ys is of the reported information. The EPA compliance and enforcement program includes activities such as: the examination of records ma intained 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 years of the ICR is estimated to be $212.
This cost is based on the average hourl y labor rate as follows: Managerial $54.66 (GS

- 13, Step 5, $34.16 + 60%) Technical $40.56 (GS

- 12, Step 1, $25.35 + 60%)9 Clerical $21.95 (GS

- 6, Step 3, $13.72 + 60%) These rates are from the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) 200 4 General Schedule which e xcludes locality

rates of pay

. The rates have bee n increased by 60 percent to account for the benefit packages available to government emplo ye es. Details upon which this estimate is based appear in Table 2: Average Annual EPA Burd en, NESHAP for Beryllium Rocket Motor Fuel Firing (40 CFR Part 61, Subpart D) , below

. 6(d) Estimating the Respondent Universe and Total Burden and Costs Based on our research for this ICR, one existing source is currentl y s ubject to the standard. It is estimated that no additional sources per ye ar will become subject. The overall average number of respondents, as shown in the table below is one per ye ar. The number of respondent is calculated using the following table which addresses the three ye ars covered b y this ICR. Number of Respondents

(i) Respondent Tally The total annual labor costs are $ 538. Details regarding these estimates may be found in Table 1. Annual Respondent Burden and Cost: NESHAP for Beryllium Rocket Motor Fuel Firing (40 CFR p art 61, s ubpart D) (Renewal) , below. Furthermore, the annual public reporting and recordkeeping burd en for this collection of information is estimated to average 8 hours per response. There are no annual capital/startup and O&M costs to the regulated entities. 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 Agency burden and cost over next three years is estimated to be five labor hours at a cost of $ 212 . See Table 2. Annual Agency Burden and Cost: NESHAP for Beryl lium Rocket Motor Fuel Firin g (40 CFR p art 61, s ubpart D , below

.
6(f) Reasons for Change in Burden There is no change in the labor hours or cost in this I CR compared to the previous I CR. This is due to two considerations. First, the regulations have not changed over the past three years11

and are not anticipated to change over the next three ye ars. Secondl y, the growth rate for the industry is very low, negative or non

- existent, so there is no significant change in the overall burden. Since there are no changes in the regulatory requirements and there is no significant industry growth, the labor hours and cost figures in the previous ICR are used in this I CR, and there is no change in burden to industry

. 6(g) Burden Statement The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 8 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 s ys tems for the purposes of collecting, validating, and verifying information, processing and maintaining information, and disclosing and providi ng information; adjust the existing way s to comply with an y 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. An agency

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