Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air
Pollutants (NESHAP) for the regulations published at 40 CFR part 61,
subpart N were proposed on July 20, 1983; promulgated on August 4,
1986; and amended on: October 3, 1986; May 31, 1990; February 12, 1999;
October 17, 2000; February 12, 1999; and February 27, 2014. These
regulations apply to each existing and new glass melting furnace that
uses commercial arsenic as a raw material located at a glass
manufacturing plant. These standards do not apply to pot furnaces; in
addition, the standards do not consider re-bricking as either
construction or modification for the purposes of 40 CFR 61.05(a). 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 61, subpart N.
Form Numbers: None.
Respondents/affected entities: Glass manufacturing plants.
Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 61,
subpart N).
Estimated number of respondents: 16 (total).
Frequency of response: Initially, semiannually.
Total estimated burden: 3,100 hours (per year). Burden is defined
at 5 CFR 1320.03(b).
[[Page 10907]]
Total estimated cost: $470,000 (per year), which includes $79,400
annualized capital 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. First, the
regulations have not changed over the past three years and are not
anticipated to change over the next three years. Second, the growth
rate for this industry is very low or non-existent, so there is no
significant change in the overall burden. There is an increase in the
capital/O&M costs. The operation and maintenance (O&M) costs have been
updated from 2008 dollars to 2022 dollars using the CEPCI CE Index.
