Information Collection Request Submitted to OMB for Review and 
Approval; Comment Request; NESHAP for Source Categories: Generic

Production (Renewal)

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency has submitted an 
information collection request (ICR), ``NESHAP for Source Categories: 
Generic Maximum Achievable Control Technology Standards for Acetal 
Resin; Acrylic and Modacrylic Fiber; Hydrogen Fluoride and 
Polycarbonate Production (40 CFR part 63, subpart YY) (Renewal)'' (EPA 
ICR No. 1871.09, OMB Control No. 2060-0420) to the Office of Management 
and Budget (OMB) for review and approval in accordance with the 
Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.). This is a proposed 
extension of the ICR, which is currently approved through July 31, 
2015. Public comments were previously requested via the Federal 
Register (79 FR 30117) on May 27, 2014 during a 60-day comment period. 
This notice allows for an additional 30 days for public comments. A 
fuller description of the ICR is given below, including its estimated 
burden and cost to the public. 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.

DATES: Additional comments may be submitted on or before August 31, 
2015.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, referencing Docket ID Number EPA-HQ-
OECA-2014-0069, to (1) EPA online using www.regulations.gov (our 
preferred method), by email to [email protected], or by mail to: EPA 
Docket Center, Environmental Protection Agency, Mail Code 28221T, 1200 
Pennsylvania Ave. NW., Washington, DC 20460, and (2) OMB via email to 
[email protected]. Address comments to OMB Desk Officer for 
EPA.
    EPA's policy is that all comments received will be included in the 
public docket without change including any personal information 
provided, unless the comment includes profanity, threats, information 
claimed to be Confidential Business Information (CBI) or other 
information whose disclosure is restricted by statute.

number: (202) 564-0050; email address: [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Supporting documents which explain in detail 
the information that the EPA will be collecting are available in the 
public docket for this ICR. The docket can be viewed online at 
www.regulations.gov or in person at the EPA Docket Center, EPA West, 
Room 3334, 1301 Constitution Ave. NW., Washington, DC. The telephone 
number for the Docket Center is 202-566-1744. For additional 
information about EPA's public docket, visit http://www.epa.gov/dockets.
    Abstract: These regulations apply to new and existing facilities of 
the following four categories: Polycarbonates (PC) Production, Acrylic 
and Modacrylic Fibers (AMF) Production, Acetal Resins (AR) Production, 
and Hydrogen Fluoride (HF) Production. New facilities include those 
that commenced construction or reconstruction after the date of 
proposal. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 
40 CFR part 63, subpart YY.
    In general, all NESHAP standards require initial notifications, 
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. Any owner/operator subject 
to the provisions of this part shall maintain a file of these 
measurements, and retain the file for at least five years following the 
date of such measurements, maintenance reports, and records. All 
reports are sent to the delegated state or local authority. In the 
event that there is no such delegated authority, the reports are sent 
directly to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) 
regional office.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Respondents are existing facilities 
and new of the following four categories: Polycarbonates (PC) 
Production, Acrylic and Modacrylic Fibers (AMF) Production, Acetal 
Resins (AR) Production, and Hydrogen Fluoride (HF) Production. The PC 
industry consists of facilities that produce polycarbonates, a process 
that involves a polymerization reaction using either a solution or 
suspension process in either a batch or continuous mode. All production 
of polycarbonates in the United States is currently based on the 
polymerization reaction of bisphenols with phosgene in the presence of 
catalysts, solvents (mainly methylene chloride) and other additives. 
The AMF industry consists of facilities that produce acrylic and 
modacrylic fibers, which are manufactured synthetic fibers in which the 
fiber-forming substance is any long-chain synthetic polymer containing 
acrylonitrile units. The AR industry consists of facilities that 
produce homopolymers and/or copolymers of alternating oxymethylene 
units. Acetal resins are also known as polyoxymethylenes, polyacetals, 
and aldehyde resins. The HF industry consists of facilities that 
produce and recover hydrogen fluoride by reacting calcium fluoride with 
sulfuric acid. In this subpart, hydrogen fluoride production is not a 
process that produces gaseous hydrogen fluoride for direct reaction 
with hydrated aluminum to form aluminum fluoride (i.e., the hydrogen 
fluoride is not recovered as an intermediate or final product prior to 
reacting with the hydrated aluminum).
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 63 
subpart YY).
    Estimated number of respondents: 7 (total).
    Frequency of response: Initially, occasionally, and semiannually.
    Total estimated burden: 3,240 hours (per year). Burden is defined 
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $317,000 (per year), includes $127,000 
annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is a decrease in the total 
estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently approved by 
OMB. The decrease in burden from the most recently approved ICR is 
primarily because the number of sources in the PC and AMF has 
decreased. However, there is a small increase in EPA burden and other 
changes to the burden calculation in this ICR. This ICR incorporates 
the requirements of the rule amendment to the PC and AMF subcategories. 
The rule amendment added requirements related

[[Page 45539]]

to leak detection and repair (LDAR) and pressure relief devices (PRD) 
for subject PC and AMF facilities. We assume existing PC and AMF 
facilities will come into compliance with the new requirements during 
the three-year period covered under this ICR.
