NESHAP for Solvent Extraction for Vegetable Oil Production (40 CFR Part
63, Subpart GGGG) (Renewal)

1.  Identification of the Information Collection

1(a)  Title of the Information Collection

NESHAP for Solvent Extraction for Vegetable Oil Production (40 CFR Part
63, Subpart GGGG)

(Renewal), EPA ICR Number 1947.04, OMB Control Number 2060-0471.

1(b)  Short Characterization/Abstract

Extraction for Vegetable Oil Production, 40 CFR part 63, subpart GGGG,
were proposed on May 26, 2000, (65 FR 34252) and promulgated on April
21, 2001.  Respondents are owners or operators of any existing,
reconstructed, or new vegetable oil production process, which is defined
as a group of continuous process equipment used to remove oil from
oilseeds through direct contact with an organic solvent such as
n-hexane.  The term “oilseed” refers to the following agricultural
products: corn germ, cottonseed, flax, peanut, safflower, soybean,
sunflower and rapeseed (source of canola oil).

A vegetable oil production process is only subject to the regulation if
it is a major source of hazardous air pollutant (HAP) emissions, or is
collocated with other sources that are individually or collectively a
major source of HAP emissions.  “Major source” means that the
process equipment used to produce the vegetable oil and any other
operations or equipment at a facility emit or have the potential to emit
10 tons per year or more of a single HAP or 25 tons per year or more of
any combination of HAP.  Owners or operators of a new vegetable oil
production process using solvent extraction must submit an application
for construction, notification of construction commencement,
notification of anticipated startup date and notification of actual
startup. 

The standard requires each source to develop by the startup date a plan
for demonstrating compliance.  The source must follow this plan each
month to measure and record extraction solvent, HAP content of the
extraction solvent, and oilseed inventories.  Sources will also develop
a startup, shutdown, and malfunction (SSM) plan to be followed during
each SSM event.

As required by the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air
Pollutants (NESHAP) General Provisions (40 CFR part 63, subpart A), each
source must submit initial or startup notifications.  Sources must
submit a compliance status notification twelve operating months after
the compliance date and an annual compliance certification every
subsequent twelve calendar months.  An operating month is defined as any
calendar month in which a source processes any quantity of listed
oilseed, excluding any entire calendar month in which the source
operated under an initial startup period or a malfunction period. 
Sources must submit SSM reports following SSM events occurring during
each qualifying malfunction period.  All existing sources must develop
plans for demonstrating compliance and SSM plans.  The majority of
burden items are one-time-only requirements; the only recurring burden
consists of the annual compliance certification and periodic SSM reports
which require recordkeeping and monthly compliance determinations. 
Owners or operators are required to submit after the initial
notification(s report: (1) annual compliance certifications; (2) a
deviation notification report; (3) a periodic startup, shutdown, and
malfunction report; and (4) immediate SSM reports.

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
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.

Approximately 101 sources are currently subject to the regulation, and
it is estimated that no additional new sources will become subject to
the regulation in the next three years.  It is further assumed that one
additional source per year will become subject to the standard due to
the reconstruction of an existing affected facility.  

There are approximately 101 solvent extractors for vegetable oil
production facilities in the United States, which are owned and operated
by the solvent extraction for vegetable oil production industry.  None
of the 101 facilities in the United States are owned by either state,
local, tribal or the Federal government.  They are all owned and
operated by privately owned for-profit businesses.  The burden to the
“Affected Public” listed below in Table 1: Annual Industry Burden
and Cost - NESHAP for Solvent Extraction for Vegetable Oil Production
(40 CFR Part 63, Subpart GGGG).  The Federal government burden does not
include work performed by Federal employees.  The burden refers only to
work performed by contractors, which could be found listed below in
Table 2: Average Annual EPA Burden - NESHAP for Solvent Extraction for
Vegetable Oil Production (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart GGGG).

The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approved the currently active
Information Collection Request (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 category or subcategory
of major sources and area sources of hazardous air pollutants (HAP). 
These 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 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.

In the Administrator's judgment, HAP emissions from solvent extraction
for vegetable oil cause or contribute to air pollution that may
reasonably be anticipated to endanger public health or welfare. 
Therefore, the NESHAP was promulgated for this source category at 40 CFR
part 63, subpart GGGG.

2(b)  Practical Utility/Users of the Data

The recordkeeping and reporting requirements in the standard ensure
compliance with the applicable regulations which where promulgated in
accordance with the Clean Air Act.  The collected 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 initial capability to comply with the emission standard. 
Continuous emission monitors 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 control devices are properly 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 requested recordkeeping and reporting are required under 40 CFR part
63, subpart GGGG.

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.

3(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 (72 FR 10736) on March 9, 2007. 
No comments were received on the burden published in the Federal
Register.

3(c)  Consultations

The Agency’s industry experts have been consulted, and the Agency’s
internal data sources and projections of industry growth over the next
three years have been considered.  The primary source of information as
reported by industry, in compliance with the recordkeeping and reporting
provisions in the standard, is the Online Tracking Information System
(OTIS) 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 Agency’s internal industry experts. 
Approximately twenty-eight 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
it was being developed, and the standard has been previously reviewed to
determine the minimum information needed for compliance purposes.

It is our policy to respond after a thorough review of comments received
since the last ICR renewal as well as those submitted in response to the
First Federal Register Notice.

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 proper operation
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.

 	

These standards require the respondents 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.  The retention of records for five
years allows EPA to establish the compliance history of a source, any
pattern of non-compliance and to determine the appropriate level of
enforcement action.  EPA has found that the most flagrant violators have
violations extending beyond the five years.  In addition, EPA would be
prevented from pursuing the violators due to the destruction or
nonexistence of essential records.

3(f)  Confidentiality

Any information submitted to the Agency for which a claim of
confidentiality is made will be safeguarded according to the Agency
policies set forth in title 40, chapter 1, part 2, subpart B -
Confidentiality of Business Information (see 40 CFR 2; 41 FR 36902,
September 1, 1976; amended by 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 requirements contain sensitive
questions.

4(b)  Information Requested

None of these reporting or recordkeeping requirements violate any of the
regulations established by OMB at 5 CFR part 1320, section 1320.5.

(i)  Data Items

In this ICR, all the data recorded or reported is required by National
Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Solvent Extraction
for Vegetable Oil Production (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart GGGG).

A source must make the following reports:

Notification Reports

Initial notification	63.9(b) and 63.2860(a)

Notification and application of construction and reconstruction	63.5(d)
and 63.2860(b)

Notification of construction commencement	63.5 and 63.2860(b)

Notification of anticipated startup.	63.5(d) and 63.2860(b)

Notification of actual startup	63.6 and 63.2860(b)

Notification of compliance status	63.9(h) and 63.2860(d)

Annual compliance certification	63.2861(a)

Deviation notification report	63.2861(b)

Periodic startup, shutdown, and malfunction report	63.10(d)(5)(i) and
63.2861(c)

Immediate startup, shutdown, and malfunction report	63.10(d)(5)(ii) and
63.2861(d)

A source must keep the following records:

Recordkeeping

Solvent, HAP content and oilseed inventory	63.2862(c)

Twelve months compliance ratio	63.2862(d)

Startup, shutdown, and malfunction plan	63.2862(b)

Plan for demonstrating compliance	63.2862(b)

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 has
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 systems to transmit data electronically.  However,
electronic reporting systems are still not widely used.  At this time,
it is estimated that approximately 10 percent of the respondents use
electronic reporting.

Respondent Activities

Read instructions.

Install, calibrate, maintain, and operate solvent extraction for
vegetable oil production processor.

Perform initial performance test, Reference Method 311.

Develop plan for demonstrating compliance.

Develop startup, shutdown, and malfunction plan.

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 systems for the purpose of collecting,
validating, and verifying information.

Develop, acquire, install, and utilize technology and systems for the
purpose of processing and maintaining information.

Develop, acquire, install and utilize technology and systems for the
purpose of 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.

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
system.  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.

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, analysis, storage, and distribution of the required
information.

Agency Activities

Review notifications and reports, including periodic SSM report,
deviation notification report, and immediate SSM report, required to be
submitted by industry.

Audit facility records.

Input, analyze, and maintain data in the Online Tracking Information
System (OTIS).

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.

Information contained in the reports is entered into OTIS which is
operated and maintained by the EPA Office of Compliance.  OTIS is the
EPA database for the collection, maintenance, and retrieval of
compliance data for approximately 125,000 industrial and
government-owned facilities.  EPA uses OTIS for tracking air pollution
compliance and enforcement by local and state regulatory agencies, EPA
regional offices, and EPA headquarters.  EPA-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

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
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 to be the minimum
requirements 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.

5(d)  Collection Schedule

The specific frequency for each information collection activity within
this request is shown in Table 1: Annual Industry Burden for NESHAP for
Solvent Extraction for Vegetable Oil Production (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart
GGGG).

6.  Estimating the Burden and Cost of the Collection

Table 1 documents the computation of individual burdens for the
recordkeeping and reporting requirements applicable to the industry for
the subpart included in this ICR.  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.

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 39,385
(Total Labor Hours from Table 1).  These 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
approved ICR, and any comments received.

6(b)  Estimating Respondent Costs

(i)  Estimating Labor Costs 

	This ICR uses the following labor rates:

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 2003, “Table 10. Private industry, by
occupational and industry group.”  The rates are from column 1,
“Total compensation.”  The rates have been increased by 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 by the subject standard are labor costs. 
There are no capital/startup or operation and maintenance costs.

(iii)  Capital/Startup vs. Operation and Maintenance (O&M) Costs

The only type 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 analysis of
the reported information.  The EPA 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 $152,476.

This cost is based on the average hourly labor rate as follows:

Managerial	$54.66   (GS-13, Step 5, $34.16 + 60%)

Technical	$40.56   (GS-12, Step 1, $25.35 + 60%)

Clerical	$21.95   (GS-6, Step 3, $13.72 + 60%)

These rates are from the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) 2004
General Schedule, which excludes locality rates of pay.  The rates have
been increased by 60 percent to account for the benefit packages
available to government employees.  Details upon which this estimate is
based appear in Table 2: Average Annual EPA Burden, NESHAP for Solvent
Extraction for Vegetable Oil Production (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart GGGG),
below.

6(d)  Estimating the Respondent Universe and Total Burden and Costs

	

	Based on our research for this ICR, on average over the next three
years, approximately one hundred and one respondents will be subject to
the standard.  It is estimated that one reconstructed sources per year
will become subject in the next three years.  The overall average number
of respondents, as shown in the table below is 101 per year. 

	The number of respondents is calculated using the following table which
addresses the three years covered by this ICR.

Number of Respondents

Year	(A)

Number of New Respondents 1	(B)

Number of Existing Respondents	(C)

Number of Existing Respondents That Keep Records But Do Not Submit

Average	1	101	0	1	101

1 New respondent include sources with constructed, reconstructed and
modified affected facilities.  In this standard existing respondents
submit initial notifications. 

To avoid double-counting respondents, column D is subtracted.  As shown
above, the average Number of Respondents over the three-year period of
this ICR is one hundred and one.

The total number of annual responses per year is calculated using the
following table:

The number of Total Annual Responses is 213.

The total annual labor costs are $2,512,947.  Details regarding these
estimates may be found in Table 1: Annual Industry Burden and Cost -
NESHAP for Solvent Extraction for Vegetable Oil Production (40 CFR Part
63, Subpart GGGG), below.

6(e)  Bottom Line Burden Hours Burden Hours and Cost Tables

The detailed bottom line burden hours and cost calculations for the
respondents and the Agency are shown in Tables 1 and 2, respectively,
and summarized below. 

(i)  Respondent Tally

The total annual labor costs are $2,512,947.  Details regarding these
estimates may be found in Table 1. Annual Respondent Burden and Cost:
NESHAP for Solvent Extraction for Vegetable Oil Production (40 CFR Part
63, Subpart GGGG) below.  Furthermore, the annual public reporting and
recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to
average 185 hours per response.

The total annual capital/startup and O&M costs to the regulated entity
are $0.

(ii)  The Agency Tally

The average annual Agency burden and cost over next three years is
estimated to be 3,855 labor hours at a cost of $152,476.  See Table 2.
Annual Agency Burden and Cost: NESHAP for Solvent Extraction for
Vegetable Oil Production (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart GGGG) below.

6(f)  Reasons for Change in Burden

There is no change in the labor hours or cost in the ICR compared to the
previous ICR.  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.  Secondly, 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 ICR, 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 185 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.

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 regulations are listed
at 40 CFR part 9 and 48 CFR chapter 15.

Assumptions:

a  This ICR uses the following labor rates: $95.32 per hour for
Executive, Administrative, and Managerial labor; $64.60 per hour for
Technical labor, and $40.09 per hour for Clerical labor.  These rates
are from the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor
Statistics, December, 2003, (Table 10. Private industry, by occupational
and industry group.(

b  We have assume that there will be no new growth over the three-year
period of this ICR.

c  We have assumed that it will take one hundred hours to develop a
startup, shutdown, malfunction plan.

d  We have assumed that one existing facility will be reconstructed each
year over the next three years.

e  We have assumed that there are approximately 101 sources that are
subject to the standard.

f  We have assumed that five percent of sources will submit a periodic
SSM report.

g  It is estimated that one source will submit an immediate SSM report.

h  We have assumed that  it will take eight hours once per month for
data to be recorded.

i  We have assumed that one source will submit a notification of
deviation report each year.

j  We have estimated that it will take twelve hours to record startup,
shutdown, and malfunction activities.	Table 2:  Average Annual EPA

 	Assumptions:

a  This cost is based on the following hourly labor rates times a 1.6
benefits multiplication factor to account for government overhead
expenses: $54.66 for Managerial (GS-13, Step 5, $34.16 x 1.6), $40.56
for Technical (GS-12, Step 1, $25.35 x 1.6) and $21.95 Clerical (GS-6,
Step 3, $13.72 x 1.6).  These rates are from the Office of Personnel
Management (OPM) (2004 General Schedule( which excludes locality rates
of pay.

b  We have assumed that there will be no new growth in the industry over
the next three years.

c  We have assumed that one existing facility will be reconstructed each
year over the next three years.

d  We have assumed that there are approximately 101 sources that are
subject to the standard.

e  We have assumed that five percent of sources will submit a periodic
SSM report.

f  It is estimated that one of the sources will submit an immediate SSM
report.

g  We have assumed that it will take sixteen hours to review an
immediate SSM report.

h  We have assumed that it will take four hours to review the deviation
report.

       i  We have assumed that one source will submit a notification of
deviation report each year.
