ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
[FRL-6409-9]
Agency Information Collection Activities
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: In compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501
et seq.), this document announces that EPA is planning to submit the
following continuing Information Collection Request (ICR) to the Office
of Management and Budget (OMB): National Emission Standards for
Hazardous Air Pollutants for the Printing and Publishing Industry, EPA
ICR No. 1739.02, and OMB Control Number 2060-0335, expiration date July
31, 1999. Before submitting the ICR to OMB for review and approval, EPA
is soliciting comments on specific aspects of the proposed information
collection as described below.
DATES: Comments must be submitted on or before September 27, 1999.
ADDRESSES: U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 401 M Street SW, Mail
code 2224A, Washington, DC 20460.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ginger Gotliffe at (202) 564-7072, fax
(202) 564-0009, or e-mail (gotliffe.ginger@epamail.epa.gov).
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Affected entities: Entities potentially affected by this action are
those owners or operators of publication rotogravure, product and
packaging rotogravure, or wide-web flexographic printing presses who
are covered by 40 CFR part 63, subpart KK. The compliance date for an
owner or operator of an existing affected source subject to the
provisions of this subpart is May 30, 1999. The compliance date for an
owner or operator of a new affected source subject to the provisions of
this subpart is immediately upon start up of the affected source or May
30, 1996, whichever is later.
Title: MACT Subpart KK, National Emission Standards for Hazardous
Air Pollutants for the Printing and Publishing Industry; OMB No. 2060-
0335.
Abstract: Owners or operators of the affected facilities described
make the following one-time only reports of start of construction,
anticipated and actual startup dates, and physical or operational
changes to existing facilities. Respondents using control devices other
than incinerators or
[[Page 41111]]
solvent recovery systems must submit a request for approval of the
control device to EPA. The General Provisions also require that an
affected source with an initial startup date before the effective date
of the relevant standard under Part 63 submit a one-time initial
notification. This notification must be submitted one year before the
compliance deadline. For sources constructed or reconstructed after the
effective date of the relevant standard, the General Provisions require
that the source submit an application for approval of construction or
reconstruction. The application is required to contain information on
the air pollution control device that will be used for each potential
HAP emission point. The information in the initial notification and the
application for construction or reconstruction will enable enforcement
personnel to identify the sources subject to the standards and to
identify those sources that are already in compliance.
The General Provisions also require that affected sources submit a
notification of compliance status. This notification must be signed by
a responsible company official who certifies its accuracy and certifies
that the source has complied with the relevant standards. Performance
test results also are included in the compliance status report. The
notification of compliance status must be submitted within 60 days
after the compliance date for the affected source.
In addition, affected sources demonstrating compliance through the
operation of continuous monitoring systems (CMS) are required by the
General Provisions to conduct a performance evaluation of the CMS. A
report of the performance evaluation results is required to be
submitted to EPA. Respondents operating a control device who do not
operate a continuous emissions monitoring system must monitor
incinerator temperatures as well as a parameter representing the
performance of the capture system. Excess emissions and CMS performance
reports documenting excess emissions and parameter monitoring
exceedances are also required to be submitted to the Agency
semiannually.
Respondents operating solvent recovery systems who do not operate a
continuous emissions monitoring system must conduct monthly material
balances and keep records of these material balances as well as organic
HAP and volatile matter usage. Respondents complying with the
regulation through the use of low HAP materials , or through the use of
a control device in combination with low HAP materials must keep
records of monthly HAP use, materials use, and solids contents of
materials applied. HAP use reports are required annually by sources
using the provisions of the rule to establish area source status.
The General Provisions require owners or operators that comply by
means of control devices to develop startup, shutdown, and malfunction
plans, documenting procedures that will be followed in the case of
these events. Startup, shutdown and malfunction reports also are
required to be submitted, demonstrating the actions taken by an owner
or operator in the event of a startup, shutdown, or malfunction. When
actions taken are consistent with the plan, reports are required
semiannually. When actions taken are inconsistent with the plan,
reports must be submitted within two working days.
All reports and records must comply with the General Provisions for
40 CFR part 63. All records must be maintained by the affected source
for a period of 5 years. The information collected will be used by the
Administrator to determine that all sources subject to the NESHAP are
achieving the standards.
All requests, applications, and reports are submitted to the
respondent's State agency, if it has an approved title V permit program
implementation authority. Otherwise, this information is submitted to
the appropriate Regional Office of the Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) as indicated in section 63.13 of the General Provisions.
An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required
to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a
currently valid OMB control number. The OMB control numbers for EPA's
regulations are listed in 40 CFR part 9 and 48 CFR Chapter 15. The EPA
would like to solicit comments to:
(i) Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency,
including whether the information will have practical utility;
(ii) Evaluate the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden
of the proposed collection of information, including the validity of
the methodology and assumptions used;
(iii) Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information
to be collected; and
(iv) Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those
who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated
electronic, mechanical, or other technological collection techniques or
other forms of information technology, e.g.; permitting electronic
submission of responses.
Burden statement: The average annual burden hours for each
respondent is as follows: Performance testing, notification and
reporting is 282 hours, CMS testing and installing is 500 hours, CMS
maintenance, records, and reporting is 398 hours, and all other
reporting and recordkeeping is 325 hours. There are 180 affected
facilities. Because the performance testing and CMS testing and
installation may be a one time occurrence and because the ''other
recordkeeping'' category includes hours that would only be used if the
facility is not using a CMS, the hours are not totaled into one value.
The average total annual cost for reporting for the first three years
is $9186.00 per facility. Total annualized capital/startup costs for
monitoring equipment purchases to comply with this rule are estimated
at $20,000 per respondent using CMS. Costs for operation and
maintenance of this equipment are estimated at $9,000 per year per
respondent for the first three years after promulgation.
Burden means the total time, effort, or financial resources
expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or disclose or
provide information to or for a Federal agency. This includes the time
needed to review instructions; develop, acquire, install, and utilize
technology and systems for the purposed of collecting, validating, and
verifying information, processing and maintaining information, and
disclosing and providing information; adjust the existing ways to
comply with any previously applicable instructions and requirements;
train personnel to be able to respond to a collection of information;
search data sources; complete and review the collection of information;
and transmit or otherwise disclose the information.
