Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air
Pollutants (NESHAP) for Publicly-Owned Treatment Works (POTW) (40 CFR
part 63, subpart VVV) were proposed on December 1, 1998; and
promulgated on October 26, 1999; and amended on both December 22, 2008,
and October 26, 2017 (82 FR 49513). These regulations apply to both
existing and new Group 2 POTW located at a major source of hazardous
air pollutants (HAP), or to Group 1 POTW that are either area or major
sources. Group 1 POTWs are facilities that accept wastewater regulated
by another NESHAP and provide treatment ``as an agent'' for the
industrial user. Group 1 POTWs are subject to the monitoring,
recordkeeping, and reporting requirements of the other regulating
NESHAP but have no additional monitoring, recordkeeping, or reporting
requirements under Subpart VVV. Group 2 POTWs are POTWs that do not
meet the definition of a Group 1 POTW and must meet the criteria for a
pretreatment program under 40 CFR 403.8. New facilities include those
that commenced either construction, or reconstruction, after the date
of proposal. This information is being collected to assure compliance
with 40 CFR part 63, Subpart VVV.
Form Numbers: 5900-603.
Respondents/affected entities: Owners and operators of publicly-
owned treatment works.
Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 63,
Subpart VVV).
Estimated number of respondents: 13.7 (total).
Frequency of response: Initially, occasionally, semiannually and
annually.
Total estimated burden: 17 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5
CFR 1320.3(b).
Total estimated cost: $865 (per year), which includes no annualized
capital/startup and/or operation & maintenance costs.
Changes in the Estimates: The increase in burden from the most-
recently approved ICR is due to an adjustment(s). The adjustment
increase is due to a slight increase in the number of respondents.
There is a slight increase in costs, which is due to the increased
number of respondents.

Director, Regulatory Support Division.
