Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air
Pollutants (NESHAP) for Leather Finishing Operations (40 CFR part 63,
subpart TTTT) apply to existing and new leather finishing facilities
that are major sources of HAP or are collocated with other sources that
are individually or collectively a major source of HAP emissions.
Owners and operators of affected facilities are required to submit
initial notifications, performance tests, and periodic reports. They
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. These notifications, reports, and records are used by the
EPA to determine compliance with these standards.
Form Numbers: None.
Respondents/affected entities: Leather finishing operations.
Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 63,
subpart TTTT).
Estimated number of respondents: 4 (total).
Frequency of response: Initially, occasionally and annually.
Total estimated burden: 138 hours (per year). Burden is defined at
5 CFR 1320.3(b).
Total estimated cost: $16,300 (per year), which includes $0 in
annualized capital/startup expense and/or operation & maintenance
costs.
Changes in the Estimates: There is an adjustment increase in the
total estimated burden as currently identified in the OMB Inventory of
Approved Burdens. This increase is not due to any program changes. The
change in the burden and cost estimates occurred because the previous
ICR assumed that respondents would only need to familiarize with the
regulatory requirements once, during the year in which rule revisions
occurred, and omitted familiarization with the regulatory requirements
in the years following. This ICR assumes that respondents will need to
familiarize with the regulatory requirements every year. The overall
result is a small increase in burden hours and costs. Aside from this
minor change in burden hours, the only other change is due to a slight
increase in costs, which is wholly due to the use of updated labor
rates. This ICR uses labor rates from the most-recent Bureau of Labor
Statistics report (September 2020) to calculate respondent burden
costs.
