Information Collection Request Submitted to OMB for Review and 
Approval; Comment Request; National Emission Standards for Hazardous 
Air Pollutants for Nutritional Yeast Manufacturing Residual Risk and 
Technology Review (Renewal)

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency has submitted an 
information collection request (ICR), National Emission Standards for 
Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Nutritional Yeast Manufacturing 
Residual Risk and Technology Review (EPA ICR Number 2568.03, OMB 
Control Number 2060-0719) to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) 
for review and approval in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act. 
This is a proposed extension of the ICR, which is currently approved 
through December 31, 2020. Public comments were previously requested 
via the Federal Register on May 12, 2020 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 November 30, 
2020.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, referencing Docket ID Number EPA-HQ-
OECA-2020-0212, 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

    Abstract: This supporting statement addresses information 
collection activities that will be imposed by amendments to the 
National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) from 
Manufacturing of Nutritional Yeast, 40 CFR part 63, subpart CCCC, 
referred to in this document as the Nutritional Yeast NESHAP. This rule 
applies to facilities where the total hazardous air pollutants (HAP) 
emitted are greater than or equal to 10 tons per year of any single 
HAP, or where the total HAP emitted are greater than or equal to 25 
tons per year of any combination of HAP. Owners or operators of the 
affected facilities must submit initial notifications, performance 
tests and performance evaluation reports, and periodic reports and 
results. Owners or operators are also required to maintain records of 
performance tests and performance evaluations, monitoring, and any 
failure to meet a standard. These reports are used by EPA to determine 
compliance with the standards.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Nutritional yeast manufacturing 
facilities.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 63, 
subpart CCCC).
    Estimated number of respondents: 4 (total).
    Frequency of response: Semiannual.
    Total estimated burden: 1,410 hours (per year). Burden is defined 
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $941,000 (per year), includes $776,000 
annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is an increase in burden from the 
most recently approved ICR due to an adjustment. The change in the 
burden and cost estimates occurred because the standard has been in 
effect for more than three years and the requirements are different 
during initial compliance as compared to on-going compliance. The 
previous ICR reflected those burdens and costs associated with the 
initial activities for subject facilities following the October 1, 2017 
final rule amendments. This includes purchasing monitoring equipment, 
conducting performance tests, and establishing recordkeeping systems. 
This ICR removes costs associated with initial compliance, including 
capital costs. This ICR instead reflects the on-going burden and costs 
for existing facilities. The adjustment increase in burden is due to an 
adjustment to the number of facilities conducting performance 
evaluations to reflect an annual average basis. This ICR reflects the 
burden for four facilities to conduct a performance evaluation at least 
once every twelve calendar quarters or three years. Finally, this ICR 
more accurately reflects the average hours per response, based on the 
total burden hours divided by the total number of responses submitted 
by respondents. The previous ICR incorrectly allocated the total burden 
hours divided by the total number of respondents.
