Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air
Pollutants (NESHAP) for Chemical Preparations Industry (40 CFR part 63,
subpart BBBBBBB) were proposed on August 5, 2009, and promulgated on
December 30, 2009. These regulations apply to both existing and new
chemical preparation facilities that conduct the mixing, milling,
blending or extruding of industrial chemicals and that are area sources
of hazardous air pollutants (HAPs). Area sources are classified as
sources that emit less than 10 tons per year of a single HAP and less
than 25 tons per year of any combination of HAPs. New facilities
include those that commenced construction, modification or
reconstruction after the date of proposal. This information is being
collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 63, subpart BBBBBBB.
In general, all NESHAP standards require initial notifications,
performance tests, and periodic reports by the owners/operators of the
affected facilities. 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 essential in determining compliance, and are required of
all affected facilities subject to NESHAP.
Form Numbers: None.
Respondents/affected entities: Chemical preparation facilities that
conduct the mixing, milling, blending or extruding of industrial
chemicals.
[[Page 65062]]
Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 63,
subpart BBBBBBB).
Estimated number of respondents: 3 (total).
Frequency of response: Initially, annually, and semiannually.
Total estimated burden: 176 hours (per year). Burden is defined at
5 CFR 1320.3(b).
Total estimated cost: $21,100 (per year), which includes $45 in
annualized capital/startup and/or operation & maintenance costs.
Changes in the Estimates: The adjustment decrease in burden from
the most-recently approved ICR is due to a decrease in the number of
sources. This ICR reflects a substantial decrease in the number of
respondents in the currently approved ICR, based on data collected from
the chemical preparations industry as part of a 2020 section 114
information collection request. There were 26 affected sources
estimated in the most-recently approved ICR, and this ICR renewal
estimates there are three affected sources. The number of sources has
decreased by 88 percent, which reflects an overall decline in the
industry. There are no capital/startup costs in this ICR. The O&M costs
decreased due to the decreased number of affected sources.
