Short
Characterization/
Abstract
The
National
Emission
Standards
for
Hazardous
Air
Pollutants
(
NESHAP)
for
Beryllium
was
proposed
on
December
7,
1971
(
36
FR
23939)
and
promulgated
on
April
6,
1973
(
38
FR
8826).
This
standard
applies
to
all
extraction
plants,
ceramic
plants,
foundries,
incinerators,
and
propellant
plants
which
process
beryllium
ore,
beryllium,
beryllium
oxide,
beryllium
alloys,
or
beryllium­
containing
waste.
The
standard
also
applies
to
machine
shops
which
process
beryllium,
beryllium
oxides,
or
any
alloy
when
such
alloy
contains
more
than
5
percent
beryllium
by
weight.
All
sources
known
to
have
caused,
or
to
have
the
potential
to
cause,
dangerous
levels
of
beryllium
in
the
ambient
air
are
covered
by
the
Beryllium
NESHAP.
This
information
is
being
collected
to
assure
compliance
with
40
CFR
part
61,
subpart
C.

In
general,
all
NESHAP
standards
require
owners
or
operators
of
the
affected
facilities
to
submit
one­
time­
only
notifications
including:
notification
of
any
physical
or
operational
change
to
an
existing
facility
which
may
increase
the
regulated
pollutant
emission
rate,
notification
of
the
initial
performance
test,
including
information
necessary
to
determine
the
conditions
of
the
performance
test,
and
performance
test
measurements
and
results.
Owners
or
operators
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
sources
subject
to
NESHAP.

Specifically,
most
facilities
subject
to
40
CFR
part
61,
subpart
C
will
meet
the
standard
by
means
of
a
one­
time­
only
initial
stack
test.
However,
those
existing
facilities
that
have
elected
to
comply
with
an
alternative
ambient
air
quality
limit
are
required
to
operate
a
continuous
monitor
in
the
vicinity
of
the
affected
facility.
The
monitoring
requirements
for
these
facilities
provide
information
on
ambient
air
quality
and
ensure
that
locally,
the
airborne
beryllium
concentration
does
not
exceed
0.01
micrograms/
m3.
For
those
complying
by
ambient
monitoring,
a
monthly
report
of
all
measured
concentrations
will
be
submitted
to
the
Administrator.

Any
owner
or
operator
subject
to
the
provisions
of
this
part
will
maintain
a
file
of
these
measurements,
and
retain
the
file
for
at
least
two
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
EPA
2
Regional
Office.
There
are
approximately
236
existing
sources
subject
to
this
rule.
Of
the
total
number
of
existing
sources,
we
have
assumed
that
approximately
10
sources
have
elected
to
comply
with
this
rule
by
monitoring
ambient
air
beryllium
concentrations
and
the
remaining
226
sources
have
elected
to
comply
with
the
rule
by
conducting
a
one­
time
only
stack
test
to
determine
beryllium
emission
levels.
We
also
assumed
that
10
percent
of
the
226
sources
(
or
23
respondents)
complying
with
the
emission
limit
standard
will
engage
in
an
operational
change
at
their
facilities
that
could
potentially
increase
beryllium
emissions,
and
would
be
required
to
repeat
the
stack
test
to
determine
the
beryllium
emission
limits,
and
consequently
will
have
recordkeeping
and
reporting
requirements
associated
with
this
activity.
No
additional
sources
are
expected
to
become
subject
to
the
standard
in
the
next
three
years.
Therefore,
there
are
33
respondents
for
the
purpose
of
determining
the
recordkeeping
and
reporting
burdens
associated
with
this
rule.

The
Office
of
Management
and
Budget
(
OMB)
approved
the
currently
active
Information
Collection
Request
(
ICR)
without
any
"
Terms
of
Clearance."

2.
Need
for
and
Use
of
the
Collection
2(
a)
Need/
Authority
for
the
Collection
The
EPA
is
charged
under
Section
112
of
the
Clean
Air
Act,
as
amended,
to
establish
standards
of
performance
for
each
category
or
subcategory
of
major
sources
and
area
sources
of
hazardous
air
pollutants.
These
standards
are
applicable
to
new
or
existing
sources
of
hazardous
air
pollutants
and
shall
require
the
maximum
degree
of
emission
reduction.
In
addition,
section
114(
a)
states
that
the
Administrator
may
require
any
owner
or
operator
subject
to
any
requirement
of
this
Act
to:

(
A)
Establish
and
maintain
such
records;
(
B)
make
such
reports;
(
C)
install,
use,
and
maintain
such
monitoring
equipment,
and
use
such
audit
procedures,
or
methods;
(
D)
sample
such
emissions
(
in
accordance
with
such
procedures
or
methods,
at
such
locations,
at
such
intervals,
during
such
periods,
and
in
such
manner
as
the
Administrator
shall
prescribe);
(
E)
keep
records
on
control
equipment
parameters,
production
variables
or
other
indirect
data
when
direct
monitoring
of
emissions
is
impractical;
(
F)
submit
compliance
certifications
in
accordance
with
Section
114(
a)(
3);
and
(
G)
provide
such
other
information
as
the
Administrator
may
reasonably
require.

In
the
Administrator's
judgment,
beryllium
emissions
from
extraction
plants,
ceramic
plants,
foundries,
incinerators,
propellant
plants
and
machine
shops
which
process
beryllium
ore,
beryllium,
beryllium
oxide,
beryllium
alloys,
or
beryllium­
containing
waste,
cause
or
contribute
to
3
air
pollution
that
may
reasonably
be
anticipated
to
endanger
public
health
or
welfare.
Therefore,
the
NESHAP
was
promulgated
for
this
source
category
at
40
CFR
part
61,
subpart
C.

2(
b)
Practical
Utility/
Users
of
the
Data
The
control
of
emissions
of
beryllium
from
extraction
plants,
ceramic
plants,
foundries,
incinerators,
and
propellant
plants
and
machine
shops
which
process
beryllium
ore,
beryllium,
beryllium
oxide,
beryllium
alloys,
or
beryllium­
containing
waste
requires
not
only
the
installation
of
properly
designed
equipment,
but
also
the
operation
and
maintenance
of
that
equipment.
Emissions
of
beryllium
from
the
subject
stationary
sources
are
the
result
of
operation
of
the
affected
facilities.
The
subject
standards
are
achieved
by
the
reduction
of
pollutant
emissions
using
control
technology
and
leak
detection
and
repair
procedures.
The
notifications
required
in
the
applicable
regulations
are
used
to
inform
the
Agency
or
delegated
authority
when
a
source
becomes
subject
to
the
requirements
of
the
regulations.
The
reviewing
authority
may
then
inspect
the
source
to
check
if
the
pollution
control
devices
are
properly
installed
and
operated
and
leaks
are
being
detected
and
repaired
and
that
the
regulations
are
being
met.
Performance
test
reports
are
needed
as
these
are
the
Agency's
records
of
a
source's
initial
capability
to
comply
with
the
emission
standards,
and
the
reports
serve
as
a
record
of
the
operating
conditions
under
which
compliance
was
achieved.

The
information
generated
by
the
monitoring,
recordkeeping
and
reporting
requirements
described
in
this
ICR
is
used
by
the
Agency
to
ensure
that
facilities
affected
by
the
NESHAP
continue
to
operate
the
control
equipment
in
compliance
with
the
regulation.
Adequate
monitoring,
recordkeeping,
and
reporting
are
necessary
to
ensure
compliance
with
the
applicable
regulations,
as
required
by
the
Clean
Air
Act.
The
information
collected
from
recordkeeping
and
reporting
requirements
is
also
used
for
targeting
inspections,
and
is
of
sufficient
quality
to
be
used
as
evidence
in
court.

3.
Nonduplication,
Consultations,
and
Other
Collection
Criteria
The
requested
recordkeeping
and
reporting
are
required
under
40
CFR
part
61,
subpart
C.

3(
a)
Nonduplication
If
the
subject
standards
have
not
been
delegated,
the
information
is
sent
directly
to
the
appropriate
EPA
regional
office.
Otherwise,
the
information
is
sent
directly
to
the
delegated
state
or
local
agency.
If
a
state
or
local
agency
has
adopted
their
own
similar
standards
to
implement
the
Federal
standards,
a
copy
of
the
report
submitted
to
the
state
or
a
local
agency
can
be
sent
to
the
Administrator
in
lieu
of
the
report
required
by
the
Federal
standards.
Therefore,
no
duplication
exists.

Submission
to
OMB

An
announcement
of
a
public
comment
period
for
the
renewal
of
this
ICR
was
published
in
the
Federal
Register

on
November

2003.
No
comments
were
received
on
the
burden
published
in
the
Federal
Register.

3(
c)
Consultations
For
this
information
collection,
we
referenced
the
most
recent
ICR,
the
preparer
of
the
active
ICR,
and
accessed
the
most
recent
data
available
on
the
Air
Facility
System
(
AFS)
database
as
maintained
by
the
Office
of
Compliance.
We
reviewed
information
available
from
the
United
States
Census
Bureau,
Occupational
Safety
and
Health
Administration's
(
OSHA),
and
the
United
States
Geological
Survey
via
the
internet,
and
other
websites
covering
beryllium.
We
consulted
with
EPA's
Office
of
Air
Quality
Planning
and
Standards,
Information
Transfer,
the
Program
Integration
Division,
Keeler
Brass
Company,
Mr.
Robert
Ellis,
(

4107,
and
the
United
States
Enrichment
Corporation,
Mr.
Greg
Goslow,
(

897­
2292.

3(
d)
Effects
of
Less
Frequent
Collection
Less
frequent
information
collection
would
decrease
the
margin
of
assurance
that
facilities
are
continuing
to
meet
the
standards.
Requirements
for
information
gathering
and
recordkeeping
are
useful
techniques
to
ensure
that
good
operation
and
maintenance
practices
are
applied
and
emission
limitations
are
met.
If
the
information
required
by
these
standards
is
collected
less
frequently,
the
likelihood
of
detecting
poor
operation
and
maintenance
of
control
equipment
and
noncompliance
would
decrease.

3(
e)
General
Guidelines
None
of
these
reporting
or
recordkeeping
requirements
violate
the
regulations
established
by
OMB
at
5
CFR
1320.5.

These
standards
require
affected
facilities
to
maintain
all
records,
including
reports
and
notifications
for
at
least
five
years.
This
is
consistent
with
the
General
Provisions
as
applied
to
the
standards.
EPA
believes
that
the
five­
year
record's
retention
requirement
is
consistent
with
Part
70
permit
programs
and
the
five­
year
statute
of
limitations
on
which
the
permit
program
is
based.
Also,
the
retention
of
records
for
five
years
would
allow
EPA
to
establish
the
compliance
history
of
a
source
and
any
pattern
of
compliance
for
purposes
of
determining
the
appropriate
level
of
enforcement
action.
Historically,
EPA
has
found
that
the
most
flagrant
violators
frequently
have
violations
extending
beyond
the
five
years.
EPA
would
be
prevented
from
pursuing
the
worst
violators
due
to
the
destruction
or
nonexistence
of
records
if
records
were
retained
for
less
than
five
years.

Any
information
submitted
to
the
Agency
for
which
a
claim
of
confidentiality
is
made
will
be
safeguarded

the
Agency

Electronic
Reporting
Currently,
sources
are
using
monitoring
equipment
that
provides
parameter
data
in
an
automated
fashion,
e.
g.,
leaks
and
spills
of
beryllium.
Although
personnel
at
the
source
are
still
required
to
evaluate
the
data,
this
type
of
monitoring
equipment
has
significantly
reduced
the
burden
associated
with
monitoring
and
recordkeeping.
In
addition,
some
regulatory
agencies
are
setting
up
electronic
reporting
systems
to
allow
sources
to
report
electronically,
which
is
reducing
the
reporting
burden.
However,
electronic
reporting
systems
are
not
widely
used
by
the
regulatory
agencies.
It
is
estimated
that
approximately
10
percent
of
the
respondents
use
electronic

storage,
and
distribution
of
the
required
information.

Agency
Activities
Observe
emission
testing
conducted
to
determine
emissions
from
a
source,
if
complying
with
the
emission
limit
standard.

Review
notifications
and
reports,
including
monthly
emission
test
reports,
required
if
source
complying
with
the
ambient
air
emission
standard.

Audit
facility
records.

Input,
analyze,
and
maintain
data
in
the
Air
Facility
System
(
AFS).

5(
b)
Collection
Methodology
and
Management
Following
notification
of
startup,
the
reviewing
authority
might
inspect
the
source
to
determine
whether
the
pollution
control
devices
are
properly
installed
and
operated.
Performance
test
reports
are
used
by
the
Agency
to
discern
a
source's
initial
capability
to
comply
with
the
emission
standard
and
note
the
operating
conditions
under
which
compliance
was
achieved.
Data
and
records
maintained
by
the
respondents
are
tabulated
and
published
for
use
in
compliance
and
enforcement
programs.

Information
contained
in
the
reports
is
entered
into
the
AFS
which
is
operated
and
maintained
by
EPA's
Office
of
Compliance.
AFS
is
EPA's
database
for
the
collection,
9
maintenance,
and
retrieval
of
compliance
and
annual
emission
inventory
data
for
more
than
100,000
industrial
and
government­
owned
facilities.
EPA
uses
the
AFS
for
tracking
air
pollution
compliance
and
enforcement
by
local
and
state
regulatory
agencies,
EPA
regional
offices
and
EPA
headquarters.
EPA
and
its
delegated
Authorities
can
edit,
store,
retrieve
and
analyze
the
data.
The
records
required
by
this
regulation
must
be
retained
by
the
owner
or
operator
for
two
years.

5(
c)
Small
Entity
Flexibility
A
majority
of
the
affected
facilities
are
large
entities
(
e.
g.,
large
businesses).
However,
the
impact
on
small
entities
(
i.
e.,
small
businesses)
was
taken
into
consideration
during
the
development
of
the
regulation.
Due
to
technical
considerations
involving
the
process
operations
and
the
types
of
control
equipment
employed,
the
recordkeeping
and
reporting
requirements
are
the
same
for
both
small
and
large
entities.
The
Agency
considers
these
requirements
the
minimum
needed
to
ensure
compliance
and,
therefore,
cannot
reduce
them
further
for
small
entities.
To
the
extent
that
larger
businesses
can
use
economies
of
scale
to
reduce
their
burden,
the
overall
burden
will
be
reduced.

Estimating
Respondent
Burden
The
average
annual
burden
to
industry
over
the
next
three
years
from
these
recordkeeping
and
reporting
requirements
is
estimated
to
be
2,627
hours
(
Total
Labor
Hours
from
Table
1).

These
hours
are
based
on
Agency
studies
and
background
documents
from
the
development
of
the
regulation,
Agency
knowledge
and
experience
with
the
NESHAP
program,
the
previously
approved
ICR,
and
any

The
rates
are
from

The
rates
have
been
increased
by
110
percent
to
account
for
the
benefit
packages
available
to
those
employed
by
private

Costs
The
type

are
both
labor
costs
which
are
addressed
elsewhere
in
this
ICR
and
the
costs
associated
with
continuous

costs
are
one

costs
when
a

becomes
subject
to
the
regulation.
The
annual
operation

Estimating
Agency
Burden
and
Cost
The
only
costs
to
the
Agency
are
those
costs
associated
with
analysis
of
the
reported
information.
EPA's
overall
compliance
and
enforcement
program
includes
activities
such
as
the
examination
of
records
maintained
by
the
respondents,
periodic
inspection
of
sources
of
emissions,
and
the
publication
and
distribution
of
collected
information.

The
average
annual
Agency
cost
during
the
three
years
of
the
ICR
is
estimated
to
be
$
14,506
(
rounded).
This
cost
is
based
on
the
average

Burden
and
Costs
Based
on
our
research
for

It
is
estimated
that
no

will
become
subject
to
the
standard
in
the
next
three
years.

Reasons
for
Change
in
Burden
The
increase
in
burden
from
the
most
recently
approved
ICR
is
due
to
an
adjustment.
The
reason
for
the
change
in
burden
is
related
to
the
omission
of
the
burden
associated
with
a
program
requirement
in
the
active
ICR
which
has
been
corrected
in
this
renewal
package.
The
correction
14
was
made
from
the
previous
ICR
to
include
notification
of
the
stack
test
which
is
a
recordkeeping
and
reporting
requirement
under
the
general
provisions
to
this
standard.
There
is
also
an
adjustment
increase
from
the
most
recently
approved
ICR
due
to
a
revised
hourly
labor
rate
from
the
United
States
Department
of
Labor
which
resulted
in
an
increase
in
burden
over
the
next
three
years
of
this
ICR.

Burden
Statement
The
annual
public
reporting
and
recordkeeping
burden
for
this
collection
of
information
is
estimated
to
average
16
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;
to
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;
to
adjust
the
existing
ways
to
comply
with
any
previously
applicable
instructions
and
requirements;
to
train
personnel
to
be
able
to

of
information;
to
search
data
sources;
to
complete
and
review
the
collection
of
information;
and
to
transmit
or
otherwise
disclose
the
information.

An
agency
may
not

Assumptions:

a
This
ICR
uses
the
following
labor
rates:
$
93.09
per
hour
for
Executive,
Administrative,
and
Managerial
labor;
$
64.13
per
hour
for
Technical
labor,
and
$
39.65
per
hour
for
Clerical
labor.
These
rates
are
from
the
United
States
Department
of
Labor,
Bureau
of
Labor
Statistics,
June
2003,
"
Table
10.
Private
industry,
by
19
occupational
and
industry
group."

b
There
are
approximately
236
existing
sources
subject
to
this
rule.
However,
not
all
the
sources
have
yearly
recordkeeping
and
reporting
requirements.

Approximately,
226
have
elected
to
comply
with
this
rule
by
means
of
conducting
a
one­
time
only
tack
test.
Therefore,
the
only
ongoing
burden
will
be
on
existing
sources
monitoring
ambient
air
concentrations
of
beryllium,
and
on
the
occasion
that
an
operational
change
could
increase
beryllium
emissions
at
a
facility
that
has
comply
with
the
rules
requirements
by
conducting
an
initial
stack
test.

c
We
have
assumed
that
10
percent
of
the
226
sources
(
23
respondents)
complying
with
stack
emission
limit
will
have
an
operational
change
of
once
per
year
which
could
potentially
increase
beryllium
emissions
and
trigger
this
calculation/
reporting
requirement.

d
We
have
assumed
that
10
sources
have
elected
to
comply
with
this
rule
by
monitoring
ambient
air
concentrations.

e
We
assume
that
sources
will
operate
365
days
per
year
entering
daily
records.
