Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for the regulations published at 40 CFR part 61, subpart N were proposed on July 20, 1983; promulgated on August 4, 1986; and amended on: October 3, 1986; May 31, 1990; February 12, 1999; October 17, 2000; February 12, 1999; and February 27, 2014. These regulations apply to each existing and new glass melting furnace that uses commercial arsenic as a raw material located at a glass manufacturing plant. These standards do not apply to pot furnaces; in addition, the standards do not consider re-bricking as either construction or modification for the purposes of 40 CFR 61.05(a). New facilities include those that commenced either construction or reconstruction after the date of proposal. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 61, subpart N.
Form Numbers: None.
Respondents/affected entities: Glass manufacturing plants.
Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 61, subpart N).
Estimated number of respondents: 16 (total).
Frequency of response: Initially, semiannually.
[top] Total estimated burden: 3,100 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.03(b).
Total estimated cost: $470,000 (per year), which includes $79,400 annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs
Changes in the estimates: There is no change in burden from the most recently approved ICR as currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved Burdens. This is due to two considerations. First, the regulations have not changed over the past three years and are not anticipated to change over the next three years. Second, the growth rate for this industry is very low or non-existent, so there is no significant change in the overall burden. There is an increase in the capital/O&M costs. The operation and maintenance (O&M) costs have been updated from 2008 dollars to 2022 dollars using the CEPCI CE Index.
