Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air
Pollutants (NESHAP) for Cellulose Products Manufacturing (40 CFR part
63, subpart UUUU) were proposed on August 28, 2000; promulgated on June
11, 2002; and most-recently amended on July 2, 2020. These regulations
apply to each existing, reconstructed, and new Cellulose Products
Manufacturing operation that is either 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. A major
source either emits or has the potential to emit any single HAP at the
rate of 10 tons (9.07 megagrams) or more per year, or any combination
of HAP at a rate of 25 tons (22.68 megagrams) or more per year. New
facilities include those that either commenced construction,
modification or reconstruction after the date of proposal. This
information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part
63, subpart UUUU.
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: 5900-647.
Respondents/affected entities: Cellulose Products Manufacturing
facilities.
Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 63,
subpart UUUU).
Estimated number of respondents: 8 (total).
Frequency of response: Initially, semiannually.
Total estimated burden: 7,256 hours (per year). Burden is defined
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
Total estimated cost: $1,134,894 (per year), which includes
$120,135 in annualized capital/startup and/or operation & maintenance
costs.
Changes in the Estimates: There are no significant changes 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. Since there are
no changes in the regulatory requirements and there is no significant
industry growth, there are also no changes in the capital/startup and/
or operation and maintenance (O&M) costs.

Director, Information Engagement Division.
