Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air
Pollutants (NESHAP) for Off-Site Waste and Recovery Operations (40 CFR
part 63, subpart DD) apply to existing facilities and new facilities
with organic hazardous air pollutant (HAP) emissions that are involved
in waste management and recovery operations, and that are not subject
to Federal air standards under other subparts in Part 63. In addition,
Subpart DD cross-references control requirements to be applied to
specific types of affected sources: tanks level-1; containers; surface
[[Page 77831]]
impoundments; individual drain systems; oil-water separators; organic
water separators; and loading, transfer, and storage systems. 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 the NESHAP.
Form Numbers: None.
Respondents/affected entities: Owners and operators of off-site
waste and recovery operations.
Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 63,
subpart DD).
Estimated number of respondents: 50 (total).
Frequency of response: Semiannually.
Total estimated burden: 47,800 hours (per year). Burden is defined
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
Total estimated cost: $6,650,000 (per year), which includes
$908,000 in annualized capital/startup and/or operation & maintenance
costs.
Changes in the Estimates: There is no change in burden from the
most-recently approved ICR as currently identified in the OMB Inventory
of Approved Burdens. This is due to two considerations: (1) the
regulations have not changed over the past three years and are not
anticipated to change over the next three years; and (2) the growth
rate for this industry is very low or non-existent, so there is no
significant change in the overall burden. The burden for one-time
activities found in the previous ICR renewal were removed; however the
overall burden did not change. The capital vs. O&M costs have
increased. Previous O&M costs were based on 2013 dollars and have been
inflated to 2021 dollars (most-recent annual CEPCI value). The burden
for photocopying and postage was removed, as these costs are already
included in the ``O&M'' line item, thus this cost is duplicative.

Director, Regulatory Support Division.
