Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for the cyanide chemicals manufacturing source category in the Generic Maximum Achievable Control Technology standards, 40 CFR part 63, subpart YY, referred to as the cyanide chemicals manufacturing maximum achievable control technology (MACT) standards were promulgated on July 12, 2002 (67 FR 46257). As part of the residual risk and technology reviews (RTR) for the NESHAP, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing amendments clarify regulatory provisions related to emissions during periods of startup, shutdown, and malfunction; add requirements for electronic reporting of performance test results; and add wastewater requirements for new and existing affected sources. This information collection request documents the monitoring (including applicability testing/calculations), recordkeeping and reporting requirements and burden imposed by these amendments. In general, all NESHAP standards require initial notifications, performance tests, and periodic reports by the owners/operators of the affected facilities. These notifications, reports, and records are essential in determining compliance and are required of all affected facilities subject to NESHAP. This information collection request (ICR) includes the burden for all activities that will be conducted in the first three years following promulgation of the final amendments to the cyanide chemicals manufacturing MACT standards only as they relate to the changes made as a result of the RTR and “other” actions under the proposal. These activities include reading the rule, conducting and documenting compliance applicability testing/calculations, and completing the recordkeeping and reporting requirements.

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The amendments to the NESHAP for Cyanide Chemicals Manufacturing (40 CFR, Part 63, Subpart YY) addressed in this ICR (1) revise provisions in the NESHAP (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart YY) to remove the SSM exemption and SSM plan and periodic report requirements; (2) require electronic submittal of performance test results; and (3) manufacturing process unit process wastewater technical changes. Where applicable, adjustments for these amendments are reflected in Tables 1 and 2 of this ICR. The burden estimate for reading and understanding the rule requirements was adjusted to reflect the time it would take industry to review the amended rule. Burden estimates were removed for developing SSM plans and submitting periodic SSM reports. We estimate that the burden associated with the separate recordkeeping requirements for periods of SSM that are being removed to be approximately the same as the burden associated with the recordkeeping requirements for deviations from rule requirements and, therefore, did not adjust burden for recordkeeping and semiannual compliance reporting.
