Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP), for the regulations published at 40 CFR part 63, subpart KKKK were promulgated on October 26, 2015, amended on November 1, 2019, and minor technical corrections were made on November 19, 2021. These regulations apply to existing facilities and new facilities that manufacture pressed floor tile, pressed wall tile, or sanitaryware. New facilities include those that commenced construction or reconstruction on or after December 28, 2015. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 63, subpart KKKKK.
Form numbers: None.
Respondents/affected entities: Clay ceramics manufacturing facilities.
Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 63, subpart KKKKK).
Estimated number of respondents: 3 (total).
Frequency of response: Initially and semiannually.
Total estimated burden: 2,650 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.03(b).
Total estimated cost: $458,000 (per year), which includes $124,000 annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs.
Changes in the estimates: There is a decrease of 18,313 hours in the total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently approved by OMB. This decrease is due to total estimated burden currently identified is the estimated average hours per year for years one through three of the ICR for the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Brick and Structural Clay Products Manufacturing (40 CFR part 63, subpart JJJJJ). The total estimated burden for this ICR extension is expected to be similar to the ongoing costs. Additionally, calculation adjustments appear in Table 1, where the recordkeeping requirements were omitted or miscalculated, namely, "Familiarize with regulatory requirements" had no hours allocated in the previous burden table. In addition, Repeat Performance test calculations and alternative fuel use estimates have calculation adjustments in order to distribute those costs evenly over the 3-year renewal period. There is an adjustment to the Capital/Startup vs. Operation and Maintenance (O&M) Costs table, now that the initial compliance and testing costs have passed and ongoing costs will be O&M only.
