Abstract: The National Emission 

Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants 

(NESHAP) for Chemical Manufacturing 

Area Sources were proposed on October 

6, 2008; promulgated on October 29, 

2009; and amended on December 21, 

2012. There are nine area source 

categories in the chemical 

manufacturing sector: Agricultural 

Chemicals and Pesticides 

Manufacturing, Cyclic Crude and 

Intermediate Production, Industrial 

Inorganic Chemical Manufacturing, 

Industrial Organic Chemical 

Manufacturing, Inorganic Pigments 

Manufacturing, Miscellaneous Organic 

Chemical Manufacturing, Plastic 

Materials and Resins Manufacturing, 

Pharmaceutical Production, and 

Synthetic Rubber Manufacturing. These 

regulations apply process vents, storage 

tanks, equipment leaks, wastewater 

systems, transfer operations, and heat 

exchange systems at affected sources in 

each area source category and are 

combined in one subpart. New facilities 

include those that either commenced 

construction or reconstruction after the 

date of proposal. This information is 

being collected to assure compliance 

with 40 CFR part 63, subpart VVVVVV. 

Form Numbers: None. 

Respondents/affected entities: 

Private-sector area sources involved in 

the chemical manufacturing of 

agricultural chemicals and pesticides, 

cyclic crude and intermediates, 

industrial inorganic chemicals, 

industrial organic chemicals, inorganic 

pigments, miscellaneous organic 

chemicals, plastic materials and resins, 

pharmaceutical production, and 

synthetic rubber. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Mandatory (40 CFR part 63, subpart 

VVVVVV). 

Estimated number of respondents: 

548 (total). 

Frequency of response: Semiannually. 

Total estimated burden: 10,500 hours 

(per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 

1320.3(b). 

Total estimated cost: $2,830,000 (per 

year), which includes $1,590,000 in 

annualized capital/startup and/or 

operation & maintenance costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is an 

increase in burden from the mostrecently approved ICR as currently 

identified in the OMB Inventory of 

Approved Burdens. The adjustment 

increase in burden from the mostrecently approved ICR is not due to any 

program changes, but is due to an 

increase in the number of new sources. 

This ICR reflects an additional 10 

respondents per year, assuming 

continued industry growth. The 

increase in the number of respondents 

also results in an increase in the 

operation and maintenance (O&M) 

costs.

II. Additional Information About the 

Proposed Consent Decree 

Prior to this lawsuit being filed, EPA 

received a petition in February 2000 to 

add a plastic additive called diisononyl 

phthalate (DINP) to the Emergency 

Planning and Community Right-toKnow Act (EPCRA) section 313 toxic 

chemical list (i.e., the Toxics Release 

Inventory (TRI)). EPA issued a proposed 

regulation to list DINP on the TRI on 

September 5, 2000. EPA published a 

Notice of Data Availability (NODA) with 

a revised hazard assessment for DINP in 

the Federal Register on June 14, 2005 

(70 FR 34437) and invited public 

comment on the revised assessment. 

Plaintiffs filed a Complaint on 

September 22, 2021, alleging that EPA’s 

failure to conclude the rulemaking it 

initiated in 2000 constitutes an 

unreasonable delay under Section 

706(1) of the Administrative Procedure 

Act, 5 U.S.C. 706(1). 

This proposed consent decree states 

that no later than January 31, 2023, EPA 

shall either sign a final rule that lists 

DINP on the TRI or sign a notice for 

publication in the Federal Register to 

withdraw the proposed rulemaking to 

list DINP on the TRI. The proposed 

consent decree further states that if the 

Office of Management and Budget 

(OMB) determines that a rule to list 

DINP warrants review under Executive 

Order 12866 at the supplemental 

proposal and/or final rule stage, the 

deadline shall be extended by 90 days 

for each stage of review that OMB 

initiates, for a total extension of 180 

days if OMB initiates review at both the 

supplemental proposal and the final 

rule stages. Court approval of this 

proposed consent decree would resolve 

all claims in this case except for any 

claim for the costs of litigation, 

including attorneys’ fees. 

For a period of thirty (30) days 

following the date of publication of this 

notice, the Agency will accept written 

comments relating to the proposed 

consent decree from persons who are 

not named as parties to the litigation in 

question. EPA or the Department of 

Justice may withdraw or withhold 

consent to the proposed consent decree 

if the comments disclose facts or 

considerations that indicate that such 

consent is inappropriate, improper, 

inadequate, or inconsistent with the 

requirements of the APA or EPCRA. 

Unless EPA or the Department of Justice 

determines that consent should be 

withdrawn, the terms of the proposed 

consent decree will be affirmed. 

III. Additional Information About 

Commenting on the Proposed Consent 

Decree 

Submit your comments, identified by 

Docket ID No. EPA–HQ–OGC–2022– 

0343 via https://www.regulations.gov. 

Once submitted, comments cannot be 

edited or removed from this docket. 

EPA may publish any comment received 

to its public docket. Do not submit to 

EPA’s docket at https://

www.regulations.gov any information 

you consider to be Confidential 

Business Information (CBI) or other 

information whose disclosure is 

restricted by statute. Multimedia 

submissions (audio, video, etc.) must be 

accompanied by a written comment. 

The written comment is considered the 

official comment and should include 

discussion of all points you wish to 

make. EPA will generally not consider 

comments or comment contents located 

outside of the primary submission (i.e., 

on the web, cloud, or other file sharing 

system). For additional submission 

methods, the full EPA public comment 

policy, information about CBI or 

multimedia submissions, and general 

guidance on making effective 

comments, please visit https://

www.epa.gov/dockets/commenting-epadockets. For additional information 

about submitting information identified 

as CBI, please contact the person listed 

in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION

CONTACT section of this document. Note 

that written comments containing CBI 

and submitted by mail may be delayed 

and deliveries or couriers will be 

received by scheduled appointment 

only. 

If you submit an electronic comment, 

EPA recommends that you include your 

name, mailing address, and an email 

address or other contact information in 

the body of your comment. This ensures 

that you can be identified as the 

submitter of the comment and allows 

EPA to contact you in case EPA cannot 

read your comment due to technical 

difficulties or needs further information 

on the substance of your comment. Any 

identifying or contact information 

provided in the body of a comment will 

be included as part of the comment that 

is placed in the official public docket 

and made available in EPA’s electronic 

public docket. If EPA cannot read your 

comment due to technical difficulties 

and cannot contact you for clarification, 

EPA may not be able to consider your 

comment. 

Use of the https://

www.regulations.gov website to submit 

comments to EPA electronically is 

EPA’s preferred method for receiving 

comments. The electronic public docket 

system is an ‘‘anonymous access’’ 

system, which means EPA will not 

know your identity, email address, or 

other contact information unless you 

provide it in the body of your comment. 

Please ensure that your comments are 

submitted within the specified comment 

period. Comments received after the 

close of the comment period will be 

marked ‘‘late.’’ EPA is not required to 

consider these late comments.
