Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air
Pollutants (NESHAP), for the regulations published at 40 CFR part 63,
subpart KKKK were promulgated on October 26, 2015, amended on November
1, 2019, and minor technical corrections were made on November 19,
2021. These regulations apply to existing facilities and new facilities
that manufacture pressed floor tile, pressed wall tile, or
sanitaryware. New facilities include those that commenced construction
or reconstruction on or after December 28, 2015. This information is
being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 63, subpart
KKKKK.
Form numbers: None.
Respondents/affected entities: Clay ceramics manufacturing
facilities.
Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 63,
subpart KKKKK).
Estimated number of respondents: 3 (total).
Frequency of response: Initially and semiannually.
Total estimated burden: 2,650 hours (per year). Burden is defined
at 5 CFR 1320.03(b).
Total estimated cost: $458,000 (per year), which includes $124,000
annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs.
Changes in the estimates: There is a decrease of 18,313 hours in
the total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently
approved by OMB. This decrease is due to total estimated burden
currently identified is the estimated average hours per year for years
one through three of the ICR for the National Emission Standards for
Hazardous Air Pollutants for Brick and Structural Clay Products
Manufacturing (40 CFR part 63, subpart JJJJJ). The total estimated
burden for this ICR extension is expected to be similar to the ongoing
costs. Additionally, calculation adjustments appear in Table 1, where
the recordkeeping requirements were omitted or miscalculated, namely,
``Familiarize with regulatory requirements'' had no hours allocated in
the previous burden table. In addition, Repeat Performance test
calculations and alternative fuel use estimates have calculation
adjustments in order to distribute those costs evenly over the 3-year
renewal period. There is an adjustment to the Capital/Startup vs.
Operation and Maintenance (O&M) Costs table, now that the initial
compliance and testing costs have passed and ongoing costs will be O&M
only.
