This supporting statement addresses
information collection activities that will be imposed by
amendments to the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air
Pollutants (NESHAP) from Manufacturing of Nutritional Yeast, 40 CFR
part 63, subpart CCCC, referred to in this document as the
Nutritional Yeast NESHAP. In 2001, the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) promulgated national emission standards for
hazardous air pollutants for new and existing nutritional yeast
production facilities under 40 CFR part 63, subpart CCCC (66 FR
27876, May 21, 2001). Amendments to the NESHAP and a Risk and
Technology Review were proposed on December 28, 2016 and
promulgated on October 16, 2017. This rule applies to facilities
where the total hazardous air pollutants (HAP) emitted are greater
than or equal to 10 tons per year of any single HAP, or where the
total HAP emitted are greater than or equal to 25 tons per year of
any combination of HAP. The Nutritional Yeast NESHAP sets emission
limits for fermenter operations at nutritional yeast manufacturing
facilities. This information is being collected to assure
compliance with 40 CFR part 63, subpart CCCC. This ICR renewal
reflects changes in burden following implementation of the 2017
final rule amendments, as the standard has been in effect for more
than three years.
There is an increase in burden
from the most-recently approved ICR due to an adjustment. The
change in the burden and cost estimates occurred because these
standards have been in effect for more than three years and the
requirements are different during initial compliance as compared to
on-going compliance. The previous ICR reflected those burdens and
costs associated with the initial activities for subject facilities
following the October 1, 2017, final rule amendments. This includes
purchasing monitoring equipment, conducting performance tests, and
establishing recordkeeping systems. This ICR removes costs
associated with initial compliance, including capital costs. This
ICR instead reflects the on-going burden and costs for existing
facilities. The adjustment increase in burden is due to an
adjustment to the number of facilities conducting performance
evaluations to reflect an annual average basis. This ICR reflects
the burden for four facilities to conduct a performance evaluation
at least once every twelve calendar quarters or three years. There
is an additional increase in the labor burden in this ICR, compared
to the previous ICR, due to the increase in labor costs over the
past three years. Finally, this ICR more accurately reflects the
average hours per response, based on the total burden hours divided
by the total number of responses submitted by respondents. The
previous ICR incorrectly allocated the total burden hours divided
by the total number of respondents.
