The National Emission Standards for
Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Site Remediation 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 notification reports, 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. The
amendments to this information collection request (ICR) are a
result of the review of the existing NESHAP for Site Remediation
(40 CFR part 63, subpart GGGGG) as required by the Clean Air Act
(CAA). The proposed rulemaking amends title 40, chapter I, part 63
subpart GGGGG revising the leak detection and repair (LDAR)
requirements. In addition, the proposed amendments also add
requirements for each pressure relief devices (PRD) in the event
that a PRD releases HAP to the atmosphere due to actuation of the
device. Information related to these new provisions is required to
be submitted in the semi-annual reports required by the existing
NESHAP. Burden changes associated with these proposed amendments
would result from new recordkeeping and reporting requirements
associated with the LDAR and PRD requirements for all facilities
subject to subpart GGGGG.
There is an increase in burden
resulting from the review of the existing NESHAP for Site
Remediation (40 CFR part 63, subpart GGGGG) as required by the
Clean Air Act (CAA). The proposed rulemaking amends title 40,
chapter I, part 63 subpart GGGGG revising the leak detection and
repair (LDAR) requirements. In addition, the proposed amendments
also add requirements for each pressure relief devices (PRD) in the
event that a PRD releases HAP to the atmosphere due to actuation of
the device. Information related to these new provisions is required
to be submitted in the semi-annual reports required by the existing
NESHAP. Burden changes associated with these proposed amendments
would result from new recordkeeping and reporting requirements
associated with the LDAR and PRD requirements for all facilities
subject to subpart GGGGG. Additionally, there is a decrease in
burden due to a decrease in the change in burden due to the
decrease in the number of facilities estimated to be subject to the
NESHAP for Site Remediation based on the number of affected
facilities found in EPA databases associated with permitting,
enforcement and emissions reporting programs.
