Abstract: The NESHAP for Site Remediation was proposed on July 30,
2002, promulgated on October 8, 2003, and most recently amended on July
10, 2020 and December 22, 2022. These regulations apply to site
remediation activities that clean up materials containing organic
hazardous air pollutants (HAP), where the site remediation is co-
located at any facility with one or more stationary source that emit
HAP, and where the facility is a major source of HAP. Major sources of
HAP are sources that emit any single HAP at a rate of 10 tons or more
per year or any combination of HAP at a rate of 25 tons or more per
year. Site remediation activities may potentially occur at any facility
where materials containing organic HAP currently are or have been
stored, processed, treated, or otherwise managed at the facility. The
types of businesses most likely to be subject to this rule include, but
are not limited to, organic liquid storage terminals, petroleum
refineries, chemical manufacturing facilities, and manufacturing
facilities using organic materials. New facilities include those that
commenced construction, modification, or reconstruction after the date
of proposal. This information is being collected to assure compliance
with 40 CFR part 63, subpart GGGGG. 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: 5900-706.
Respondents/affected entities: Facilities conducting site
remediation activities.
Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 63,
subpart GGGGG).
Estimated number of respondents: 104 (total).
Frequency of response: Initially and semiannually.
Total estimated burden: 47,100 hours (per year). Burden is defined
at 5 CFR 1320.03(b).
Total estimated cost: $5,670,000 (per year), which includes
$256,000 annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs.
Changes in the Estimates: There is an increase in the total
estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently approved by
OMB. This increase is due to an increase in the number of respondents.
A December 2022 rulemaking amended this subpart by removing an
exemption from the applicability provisions for site remediation
activities performed under the authority of the Comprehensive
Environmental Response and Compensation Liability Act (CERCLA)
[[Page 10902]]
and for site remediation activities performed under a Resource
Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) corrective action or other
required RCRA order. This resulted in an increase in the number of
respondents and estimated burden. This ICR further adjusts the burden
based on the assumption that the initial requirements for new sources
have already been met. There is a decrease in capital costs based on
the assumption that initial capital costs have already been incurred by
facilities that became subject to the rule in December 2022. There is
an increase in O&M costs due to the increased number of existing
facilities that conduct O&M activities.
