NESHAP
for

Short
Characterization/
Abstract
The
National
Emission
Standards
for
Hazardous
Air
Pollutants
(
NESHAP),
were
proposed
on
October
13,
1994
and
promulgated
on
July
1,
1996.
These
standards
provide
for
control
of
hazardous
air
pollutants
(
HAPs)
emissions
from
selected
facilities
involved
in
waste
management
and
recovery
operations
that
are
not
subject
to
federal
air
standards
under
other
subparts
in
part
63
commencing
construction,
modification
or
reconstruction
after
the
date
of
proposal
if
the
facility
is
a
"
major
source"
of
HAP
emissions
as
defined
in
general
provisions
to
40
CFR
part
63.
In
addition,
subpart
DD
cross­
references
control
requirements
to
be
applied
to
specific
types
of
affected
sources:
tanks­
level
1,
containers,
surface
impoundments,
individual
drain
systems,
oil­
water
separators
and
organic
water
separators,
loading,
transfer,
and
storage
systems.
This
information
is
being
collected
to
assure
compliance
with
40
CFR
part
63,
subpart
DD.
Organic
HAP
emissions
are
the
pollutants
regulated
under
this
Subpart.

Owners
or
operators
of
the
affected
facilities
described
must
make
one­
time­
only
notifications.
Owners
or
operators
are
also
required
to
maintain
records
of
the
occurrence
and
duration
of
any
startup,
shutdown,
or
malfunction
in
the
operation
of
an
affected
facility,
or
any
period
during
which
the
monitoring
system
is
inoperative.
Semiannual
reports
of
excess
emissions
(
or
reports
certifying
that
no
exceedances
have
occurred)
are
required.
These
notifications,
reports,
and
records
are
essential
in
determining
compliance;
and
are
required,
in
general,
of
all
sources
subject
to
NESHAP.

Any
owner
or
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
directly
to
the
United
States
Environmental
Protection
Agency
(
EPA)
regional
office.

There
is
an
annual
average
of
236
respondents
that
will
be
subject
to
the
regulations.
Due
to
the
nature
of
the
industry,
it
is
estimated
that
no
additional
sources
will
become
subject
to
the
standard
over
the
next
three
years.
This
information
is
based
on
discussions
with
EPA
personnel
knowledgeable
about
the
off­
site
waste
and
recovery
operations.
The
average
annual
cost
to
industry
over
the
next
three
years
of
this
Information
Collection
Request
(
ICR)
is
estimated
to
be
$
9,923,473.
2
In
the
development
of
this
Information
Collection
Request
(
ICR),
we
addressed
the
Office
of
Management
and
Budget
(
OMB)
"
Terms
of
Clearance"
(
TOC)
on
the
active
ICR.
The
TOC
are
as
follows:

This
collection
is
approved
for
three
years.
Before
the
ICR
is
next
submitted
to
OMB
for
revision
or
renewal,
EPA
should
review
its
assumption
that
no
new
sources
will
be
added
in
this
source
category.
EPA
should
also
calculate
the
cost
burden
associated
with
recordkeeping
and
reporting
activities,
including
for
example
any
costs
associated
with
mailing,
etc.
OMB
notes
that
because
EPA
has
not
included
any
burden
estimates
for
new
sources
in
its
request,
this
approval
does
not
extend
to
collection
of
information
from
new
sources.

EPA
has
addressed
each
item
of
concern
in
the
TOC
as
instructed
by
OMB
in
the
active
ICR.
Although
EPA
does
not
anticipate
any
new
sources
over
the
next
three
years,
if
a
new
source
is
constructed,
we
believe
that
the
collection
of
information
would
not
be
a
violation
of
the
Paper
Reduction
Act
(
PRA),
since
this
is
our
best
burden
estimate
associated
with
the
rule.
The
cost
burden
associated
with
photocopying
and
mailing
reports
has
been
addressed
as
part
of
the
operation
and
maintenance
cost
for
this
ICR
[
refer
to
section
6(
b)(
ii)].

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
or
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
intervals,
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
certifications
in
accordance
with
Section
114(
a)(
3);
and
(
G)
provide
such
other
information
as
the
Administrator
may
reasonably
require.
3
In
the
Administrator's
judgment,
organic
HAP
emissions
from
off­
site
waste
and
recovery
operation
cause
or
contribute
to
air
pollution
that
may
reasonably
be
anticipated
to
endanger
public
health
or
welfare.
Therefore,
the
NESHAP
were
promulgated
for
this
source
category
at
40
CFR
part
63,
subpart
DD.

2(
b)
Practical
Utility/
Users
of
the
Data
The
control
of
emissions
of
organic
HAP
from
off­
site
waste
and
recovery
operations
requires
not
only
the
installation
of
properly
designed
equipment,
but
also
the
operation
and
maintenance
of
that
equipment.
Emissions
of
organic
HAP
from
off­
site
waste
and
recovery
operations
are
the
result
of
operation
of
the
affected
facilities.
The
subject
standards
are
achieved
by
the
reduction
of
organic
HAP
emissions
using
control
technology
and/
or
leak
detection
and
repair
procedures.
The
notifications
required
in
the
applicable
regulations
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
properly
installed
and
operated
and/
or
leaks
are
being
detected
and
repaired
and
the
regulations
are
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
standards,
and
serve
as
a
record
of
the
operating
conditions
under
which
compliance
was
achieved.
The
semiannual
reports
are
used
for
problem
identification,
as
a
check
on
source
operation
and
maintenance,
and
for
compliance
determinations.
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
in
compliance
with
the
regulation.
Adequate
monitoring,
recordkeeping,
and
reporting
are
necessary
to
ensure
compliance
with
the
applicable
regulations,
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.

3.
Nonduplication,
Consultations,
and
Other
Collection
Criteria
The
requested
recordkeeping
and
reporting
are
required
under
(
40
CFR
part
63,
subpart
DD).

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
sent
directly
to
the
delegated
state
or
local
agency.
If
a
state
or
local
agency
has
adopted
their
own
similar
standards
to
implement
the
Federal
standards,
a
copy
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,
no
duplication
exists.

b)
Public
Notice
Required
Prior
to
ICR
Submission
to
OMB
An
announcement
of
a
public
comment
period
for
the
renewal
of
this
ICR
was
published
in
the
Federal
Register
68
FR
27059
on
May
19,
2003.
No
comments
were
received
on
the
burden
published
in
the
Federal
Register.

3(
c)
Consultations
For
this
information
collection,
we
referenced
the
most
recent
ICR,
the
preparer
of
the
active
ICR,
and
accessed
the
most
recent
data
available
on
the
Air
Facility
System
(
AFS)
database
as
maintained
by
the
Office
of
Compliance.
We
reviewed
information
available
from
the
Office
of
Compliance
Sector
Notebook
"
Profile
of
the
Inorganic
Chemical
Industry,"
the
United
States
Census
Bureau
via
the
internet,
and
other
websites
covering
off­
site
waste
and
recovery
operations.
We
consulted
with
EPA's
Office
of
Air
Quality
Planning
and
Standards,
Information
Transfer
and
Program
Integration
Division
and
the
Solid
Waste
Association
of
North
America,
Mr.
Steve
Ritzon,
(

467­
9262,
and
Chartwell
Information,
Mr.
Grant
Ferrier,
(

295­
7685.

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
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
frequently,
the
likelihood
of
detecting
poor
operation
and
maintenance
of
control
equipment
and
noncompliance
would
decrease.

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.

These
standards
require
affected
facilities
to
maintain
all
records,
including
reports
and
notifications
for
at
least
five
years.
This
is
consistent
with
the
General
Provisions
as
applied
to
the
standards.
EPA
believes
that
the
five
year
records
retention
requirement
is
consistent
with
the
Part
70
permit
program
and
the
five
year
statute
of
limitations
on
which
the
permit
program
is
based.
Also,
the
retention
of
records
for
five
years
would
allow
EPA
to
establish
the
compliance
history
of
a
source
and
any
pattern
of
compliance
for
purposes
of
determining
the
appropriate
level
of
enforcement
action.
Historically,
EPA
has
found
that
the
most
flagrant
violators
frequently
have
violations
extending
beyond
the
five
years.
EPA
would
be
prevented
from
pursuing
the
worst
violators
due
to
the
destruction
or
nonexistence
of
records
if
records
were
retained
for
less
than
five
years.

Confidentiality
Any
information
submitted
to
the
Agency
for
which
a
claim
of
confidentiality
is
made
will
be
safeguarded

the
Agency

Electronic
Reporting
Presently,
sources
are
using
monitoring
equipment
that
provides
parameter
data
in
an
automated
way,
e.
g.,
leaks
and
spills
of
mercury.
Although
personnel
at
the
source
still
need
to
evaluate
the
data,
this
type
of
monitoring
equipment
has
significantly
reduced
the
burden
associated
with
monitoring
and
recordkeeping.
In
addition,
some
regulatory
agencies
are
setting
up
electronic
reporting
systems
to
allow
sources
to
report
electronically
which
is
reducing
the
reporting
burden.
However,
electronic
reporting
systems
are
still
not
widely
used
by
the
regulatory
agencies.
It
is
estimated
that
approximately
33%
of
the
respondents
use
electronic
reporting.

5(
a)
Agency
Activities
EPA
conducts
the
following
activities
in
connection
with
the
acquisition,
analysis,
storage,
and
distribution
of
the
required
information.
10
Agency
Activities
Observe

and
repeat
performance
tests
if
necessary.

Review
notifications
and
reports,
including
performance
test
reports,
and
excess

records.

Input,
analyze,
and
maintain
data
in
the
Air
Facility
System
(
AFS).

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
properly
installed
and
operational.
Performance
test
reports
are
used
by
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
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
maintenance,
and
for
compliance
determinations.

Information
contained
in
the
reports
is
entered
into
the
AFS
which
is
operated
and
maintained
by
EPA's
Office
of
Compliance.
AFS
is
EPA's
database
for
the
collection,
maintenance,
and
retrieval
of
compliance
and
annual
emission
inventory
data
for
over
100,000
industrial
and
government­
owned
facilities.
EPA
uses
the
AFS
for
tracking
air
pollution
compliance
and
enforcement
by
local
and
state
regulatory
agencies,
EPA
regional
offices
and
EPA
headquarters.
EPA
and
its
delegated
Authorities
can
edit,
store,
retrieve
and
analyze
the
data.

The
records
required
by
this
regulation
must
be
retained
by
the
owner
or
operator
for
five
years.

5(
c)
Small
Entity
Flexibility
A
majority
of
the
affected
facilities
are
large
entities
(
e.
g.,
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
types
of
control
equipment
employed
,
the
recordkeeping
and
reporting
requirements
are
the
same
for
both
small
and
large
entities.
The
Agency
considers
these
requirements
the
minimum
needed
to
ensure
compliance
and,
therefore,
cannot
reduce
them
further
for
small
entities.
To
the
extent
that
larger
businesses
can
use
economies
of
scale
to
reduce
their
burden,
the
overall
burden
will
be
reduced.

Estimating
Respondent
Burden
The
average
annual
burden
to
industry
over
the
next
three
years
from
these
recordkeeping
and
reporting
requirements
is
estimated
to
be
154,306
(
Total
Labor

These
hours
are
based
on
Agency
studies
and
background
documents
from
the
development
of
the
regulation,
Agency
knowledge
and
experience
with

Estimating
Capital/
Startup
and
Operation
and
Maintenance
Costs
The
capital/
start
up
costs
are
one­
time
cost
when
a
facility
becomes
subject
to
the
standard.
Since
this
is
based
on
no
new
sources
over
the
next
three
years,
capital
costs
associated
12
with
this
ICR
during
this
period
will
be
zero.
In
addition,
there
is
no
significant
operation
and
maintenance
costs
associated
with
this
ICR
since
sources
are
not
required
to
installed
continuous
monitoring
systems.
The
only
operational
cost
that
sources
will
incur
is
associated
with
photocopying
and
postage
which
would
be
minimal
based
on
a
rate
of
$
7.57
per
response.
There
are
approximately
708
responses
per
year
(
708
responses
x
$
7.57=
$
5,359.56),
for
a
total
annual
cost
(
O&
M)
of
$
5,360.

The
total
operation
and
maintenance
(
O&
M)
costs
for
this
ICR
are
$
5,360.
These
costs
are
shown
in
block

on
the

The
total

in
block
14
have
been
calculated
as
the
addition
of
the
capital/
startup
costs,
and
the
annual
operation
and

costs.
The
average
annual
cost
for
capital/
startup
and
operation
and
maintenance
costs
to
industry
for
the
next
three
years
of
the
ICR
are
estimated
to

Estimating
Agency
Burden
and
Cost
The
only
costs
to
the
Agency
are
those
costs
associated
with
analysis
of
the
reported
information.
EPA's
overall
compliance
and
enforcement
program
includes
activities
such
as
the
examination
of
records
maintained
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
$
93,196.
This
cost
is
based
on
the
average
hourly
labor
rate
at
a
GS­
12,
Step
1,
times
a
1.6
benefits
multiplication
factor
to
account
for
government
overhead
expenses
for
a
total
of
$
39.49.
This
rate
is
from
the
Office
of
Personnel
Management
(
OPM)
"

which
excludes
locality
rates
of

Estimating
the
Respondent
Universe
and
Total
Burden
and
Costs
Based
on
our
research
for
this
ICR,
approximately
236
existing
sources
are
currently
subject
to
the
standard.
It
is
estimated
that
no
additional
sources
per
year
will
become
subject
to
the
regulation
in
the
next
three
years.

Number
of

6(
f)
Reasons
for
Change
in
Burden
The
adjustment
decrease
in
burden
from
the
most
recently
approved
ICR
is
due
to
a
decrease
in
the
number
of
sources.
The
disposal
prices
for
the
waste
and
recovery
industry
dropped
to
about
50%
over
the
last
ten
years,
making
it
difficult
for
companies
to
breakeven
and
stay
in­
business.
The
industry
is
going
through
an
adjustment
period,
but
this
will
take
many
years
before
the
industry
can
return
to
profitability.
As
a
result,
a
number
of
plants
are
being
forced
to
close
their
operations.

Burden
Statement
The
annual
public
reporting
and
recordkeeping
burden
for
this
collection
of
information
is
estimated
to

financial
resources
expended
by
persons
to
generate,
maintain,
retain,
or
disclose
or
provide

This
includes
the
time

for
the
purposes
of

Assumptions:

a.
Assume
a
technical
labor
rate
of
$
64.13
from
the
United
States
Department
of
Commerce
Bureau
of
Labor
Statistics,
March
2003,
Table
2:
Employment
Costs
of
Civilian
Workers
by
Occupational
and
Industry
Group.
The
rates
are
from
column
1:
Total
compensation.
The
wage
rate
obtained
from
the
table
has
been
increased
by
110%
to
account
for
the
benefit
packages
available
to
those
employed
by
private
industry.

b.
This
activity
is
performed
once
during
the
year
following
promulgation
of
the
rule.

c.
It
is
assumed
that
it
will
take
4
hours
to
read
instructions.

d.
Assume
that
it
will
take
eight
hours
to
gather
existing
information.

e.
Assume
that
there
will
be
no
new
sources.

f.
The
burden
of
one
an
annual
summary
report
was
included
in
the
burden
estimate
for
the
semiannual
report.

g.
It
is
assumed
that
at
50%
of
the
facilities
the
owner
or
operator
manages
for
a
fee
off­
site
materials
received
from
other
generators.

h.
It
is
assumed
that
50%
of
the
owner
or
operator
accepts
the
off­
site
material
at
another
location
and
ships
it
to
the
facility
for
storage,
treatment,
or
disposal.

i.
Assume
that
20%
of
236
facilities
will
perform
monitoring/
repair.

Assumptions:

a.
The
cost
is
based
on
the
average
hourly
labor
rate
at
a
GS­
12,
Step
1,
times
a
1.6
benefits
multiplication
factor
to
account
for
government
overhead
expenses
for
a
total
of

39.49.
This
rate
is
from
the
Office
of
Personnel
Management
(
OPM)
"
2003
General
Schedule"
which
excludes
locality
rates
of
pay.

b.
Assume
that
there
will
be
no
new
sources
(
respondents)
over
the
3
years
period
of
this
Information
Collection
Request
(
ICR).

c.
Assumes
that
it
would
take
16
hrs
to
review
performance

report.

d.
Estimated
number
of
facilities
subject
to
the
rule
is
236.

e.
Assumes
that
here
will
be
two
reports
submitted
by
each
of
the
236
facilities
on
an
annual
basis.

f.
There
will
be
no
travel
expenses
associated
with
this
ICR
since
we
have
assumed
that
no
new
sources
will
become
subject
to
this
rule
over
the
three
year
period
of
this
ICR.
