of
asbestos
insulation
and
spray
materials;
cause
or
contribute
to
air
pollution
that
may
reasonably
be
anticipated
to
endanger
public
health
or
welfare.
Therefore,
NESHAP
was
promulgated
for
this
source
category
at
40
CFR
part
61,
subpart
M.
The
control
of
emissions
of
asbestos
from
the
regulated
sources
requires
not
only
the
installation
of
properly
designed
equipment,
but
also
the
operation
and
maintenance
of
that
equipment.
Emissions
of
asbestos
from
the
regulated
sources
are
the
result
of
operation
of
those
sources
(
milling,
manufacturing,
fabricating,
waste
disposal,
and
demolition
and
renovation).
These
standards
rely
on
the
capture
and
reduction
of
asbestos
emissions
by
air
cleaning
equipment
and
specified
work
practices.
The
required
notifications
are
used
to
inform
the
Agency
or
delegated
authority
when
a
source
becomes
subject
to
the
standard.
The
reviewing
authority
may
then
inspect
the
source
to
check
if
the
pollution
control
devices
are
properly
installed
and
operated,
the
work
practices
are
being
followed
and
the
standard
is
being
met.
Performance
test
reports
are
needed
as
these
are
the
Agency's
record
of
a
source's
initial
capability
to
comply
with
the
emission
standard,
and
serve
as
a
record
of
the
operating
conditions
under
which
compliance
was
achieved.
Thereafter,
submission
of
semi­
annual
reports
of
any
visible
emissions
serves
as
the
record
of
compliance.
Waste
conversion
facilities
must
report
initial
testing
conditions
that
become
normal
operating
conditions
for
the
plant.
The
quarterly
reports
are
used
for
problem
identification,
as
a
check
on
source
operation
and
maintenance,
and
for
compliance
determinations.
Notification
for
each
demolition
or
renovation
activity
allows
the
Agency
or
delegated
authority
to
plan
for
inspections
of
the
source
in
order
to
determine
compliance
with
the
work
practices.
Since
each
demolition
or
renovation
is
transitory
in
nature,
notification
must
be
made
for
each
activity
above
the
threshold
limits
specified
in
the
regulation.
The
information
generated
by
the
monitoring,
recordkeeping
and
reporting
requirements
described
in
this
ICR
is
used
by
the
Agency
to
ensure
that
facilities
affected
by
the
NESHAP
continue
to
operate
the
control
equipment
and
achieve
compliance
with
the
regulation.
Adequate
monitoring,
recordkeeping,
and
reporting
is
necessary
to
ensure
compliance
with
these
standards,
as
required
by
the
Clean
Air
Act.
The
information
collected
from
recordkeeping
and
reporting
requirements
is
also
used
for
targeting
inspections,
and
is
of
sufficient
quality
to
be
used
as
evidence
in
court.
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's
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
35
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;
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:
Mills,
Manufacturers,
Fabricators,
Landfills,
Renovation/
Demolition
Owners
and/
or
Operators.
Estimated
Number
of
Respondents:
9,848.
Frequency
of
Response:
On
occasion,
weekly,
quarterly
and
semi­
annual.
Estimated
Total
Annual
Hour
Burden:
342,249
hours.
Estimated
Total
Annual
Cost:
$
16,613,609.
Changes
in
the
Estimates:
There
is
a
decrease
of
19,910
hours
in
the
total
estimated
burden
currently
identified
in
the
OMB
Inventory
of
Approved
ICR
Burdens.
This
decrease
is
due
to
the
reduction
in
the
number
of
asbestos
waste
disposal
sites
subject
to
the
asbestos
NESHAP.

Pulp
Mills
 
subpart
BB
(
OMB
Control
Number
2060
 
0021
and
EPA
ICR
Number
1055.07).
This
is
a
request
to
renew
an
existing
approved
collection
that
is
scheduled
to
expire
on
February
28,
2003.
Under
OMB
regulations,
the
Agency
may
continue
to
conduct
or
sponsor
the
collection
of
information
while
this
submission
is
pending
at
OMB.
Abstract:
The
NSPS
for
Kraft
Pulp
Mills,
published
at
40
CFR
part
60,
subpart
BB,
was
proposed
on
September
24,
1976,
and
promulgated
on
February
23,
1978.
Revisions
to
the
standards
were
promulgated
on
May
20,
1986.
This
rule
addresses
total
reduced
sulfur
(
TRS)
and
particulate
matter
emissions
from
new,
modified
and
reconstructed
Kraft
Pulp
Mills.
In
addition
to
the
monitoring,
recordkeeping
and
reporting
requirements
listed
in
the
General
Provisions
(
40
CFR
part
60,
subpart
A),
Kraft
Pulp
Mills
are
required
to
continuously
monitor
and
record
at
least
once
per
shift
specific
parameters
at
the
applicable
affected
facilities:
The
opacity
of
the
gases
discharged
into
the
atmosphere
from
any
recovery
furnace;
the
concentration
of
TRS
emissions
on
a
dry
basis
and
the
percent
of
oxygen
by
volume
on
a
dry
basis
in
the
gases
discharged
to
the
atmosphere;
for
an
incinerator,
the
combustion
temperature
at
the
point
of
incineration
of
effluent
gases
being
emitted
by
the
affected
facilities;
and
for
any
lime
kiln
or
smelt
discharge
tank
using
a
scrubber
emission
control
device,
the
pressure
loss
of
the
gas
stream
through
the
control
equipment
and
the
scrubbing
liquid
pressure
to
the
control
equipment.
Sources
are
also
required
to
record
on
a
daily
basis
12­
hour
average
TRS
concentrations
and
oxygen
concentrations
(
for
the
recovery
furnace
and
lime
kiln)
for
two
consecutive
periods
of
each
operation.
Sources
must
report
semiannually
measurements
of
excess
emissions
as
defined
by
the
standard
for
the
applicable
affected
facility.
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's
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
62.4
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;
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/

brown
stock
washer

recovery
furnaces,
smelt
dissolving
tanks,
lime
kilns,
black
liquor
oxidation

and
condensate
stripper
systems.
Estimated
Number
of
Respondents:
92.
Frequency
of
Response:
Initial,
semiannual
and
on
occasion.
Estimated
Total
Annual
Hour
Burden:
12,107.
Estimated
Total
Annual
Non­
labor
Cost:
$
3,143,600,
includes
$
300,000
annualized
capital
costs
and
$
2,844,000
annualized
O&
M
costs.
There
is
an
increase
of
2,148
hours
in
the
total
estimated
burden
currently
identified
in
the
OMB
Inventory
of
Approved
ICR
Burdens.
This
increase
is
due
to
an
increase
and
a
more
accurate
estimate
of
the
number
of
kraft
pulp
mills
in
the
United
States.
The
estimates
on
the
number
of
existing
and
new
sources
were
based
on
the
active
ICR,
Federal
Register
publications
on
other
sector­
related
rules,
consultation
with
OAQPS
and
industry,
and
queries
conducted
on
two
EPA
databases
including
the
Sector
Facility
Index
Project
and
the
Aerometric
Information
Retrieval
System
Facility
Subsystem.
