Abstract: The New Source 

Performance Standards (NSPS) for the 

regulations published at 40 CFR part 60, 

subpart H were proposed on August 17, 

1971; promulgated on December 23, 

1971; and amended most-recently on 

February 27, 2014 (79 FR 11250). These 

regulations apply to existing facilities 

and new facilities. New facilities 

include those that commenced 

construction, modification, or 

reconstruction after the date of proposal. 

A sulfuric acid plant is any facility 

producing sulfuric acid (H2SO4) by the 

contact process by burning elemental 

sulfur, alkylation acid, hydrogen 

sulfide, organic sulfides and 

mercaptans, or acid sludge. A sulfuric 

acid plant does not include facilities 

where conversion to sulfuric acid is 

used primarily as a means of preventing 

emissions to the atmosphere of sulfur 

dioxide (SO2) or other sulfur 

compounds. This information is being 

collected to assure compliance with 40 

CFR part 60, subpart H. 

Form Numbers: None. 

Respondents/affected entities: 

Sulfuric acid manufacturing plants. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Mandatory (40 CFR part 60, subpart H). 

Estimated number of respondents: 53 

(total). 

Frequency of response: Semiannually. 

Total estimated burden: 13,500 hours 

(per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 

1320.3(b). 

Total estimated cost: $2,110,000 (per 

year), includes $416,000 annualized 

capital or operation & maintenance 

costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is no 

change in burden from the most recently 

approved ICR as currently identified in 

the OMB Inventory of Approved 

Burdens. 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. Second, the 

growth rate for this industry is very low 

or non-existent, so there is no 

significant change in the overall burden. 

There is an increase in capital and 

operation & maintenance costs due to an 

adjustment to increase from 2005 to 

2022 $ using the CEPCI Equipment Cost 

Index.
