Title: NESHAP for Cellulose Products Manufacturing (Renewal).
Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air
Pollutants (NESHAP), for cellulose products manufacturing operation
were proposed on August 28, 2000 (65 FR 52166), and promulgated on June
11, 2002 (67 FR 40043). These standards apply to each operation that is
a major source of hazardous air pollutant (HAP), which includes both
the miscellaneous viscose processes source category and the cellulose
ethers productions source category. The viscose process includes the
cellulose food casing, rayon, cellulosic sponge, and cellophane
operations, and the cellulose ethers includes all of the cellulose
ether operations.
Owners or operators must submit notification that the facility is
subject to the rule; notification of performance test; notification of
compliance status (including results of performance tests and other
initial compliance demonstrations); and semiannual compliance reports.
Records and reports will be required to be retained for a total of five
years.
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 EPA regional office.
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. The OMB Control Numbers for EPA's
regulations are listed in 40 CFR part 9 and 48 CFR chapter 15, and are
identified on the form and/or instrument, if applicable.
Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 141
hours per response. Burden means the total time, effort, or financial
resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or
disclose or provide information to or for a Federal agency. This
includes the time needed to review instructions; develop, acquire,
install, and utilize technology and systems for the purposes of
collecting, validating, and verifying information, processing and
maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information;
adjust the existing ways to comply with any previously applicable
instructions and requirements; train personnel to be able to respond to
a collection of information; search data sources; complete and review
the collection of information; and transmit or otherwise disclose the
information.
Respondents/Affected Entities: Owners and operators of cellulose
products manufacturing operations.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 13.
Frequency of Response: On occasion, weekly, and semiannually.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 12,088 hours.
Estimated Total Annual Costs: $965,081, which includes $0
annualized capital/startup costs, $1,000 annual O&M costs, and $964,081
annual labor costs.
Changes in the Estimates: There is no change in the number of
respondents identified in the active ICR, however there is an increase
of 10,652 hours in the estimated burden as currently identified in the
OMB Inventory of Approved ICR Burdens. The increase is attributed
primarily to the fact that all thirteen sources are in compliance with
the standard, and must now monitor data and submit semiannual reports.
Because there are no new sources with reporting requirements, no
capital/startup costs are incurred. The only cost that is incurred is
for the operation and maintenance (O&M) of the monitoring equipment.
Dated: June 27, 2005.

Director, Collection Strategies Division.
