Abstract: On December 15, 1989, pursuant to Section 112 of the Clean Air Act as amended in 1977 (42 USC 1857), the EPA promulgated NESHAPs to control radionuclide emissions from several source categories. The regulations were published in 54 FR 51653, and are codified at 40 CFR Part 61 subparts B, K, R, and W. Originally there were seven subparts that were published in the December 15, 1989 Federal Register (54 FR 51653). Since the 1989 notice, subparts I and T are no longer regulated by EPA. Subpart H does not require an ICR because it covers Federal facilities that are not subject to the Paperwork Reduction Act. The existing subpart I of the radionuclide NESHAP now only applies to non-DOE federal facilities not licensed by NRC. The non-DOE federal facilities not licensed by NRC are expected to have emissions below 1% of the standards and are therefore not subject to the reporting requirements. Information collected is used by EPA to ensure that public health continues to be protected from the hazards of airborne radionuclides by compliance with these standards.
