Characterization/
Abstract
The
New
Source
Performance
Standards
(
NSPS)
for
the
regulations
published
at
40
CFR
part
60,
subpart
NN
were
proposed
on
September
21,
1979,
and
promulgated
on
April
16,
1982.
These
regulations
apply
to
the
following
new
facilities
at
phosphate
rock
plants
with
capacities
greater
than
4
tons
per
hour:
dryers,
calciners,
grinders,
and
ground
rock
handling
and
storage
facilities,
except
those
facilities
producing
or
preparing
phosphate
rock
solely
for
consumption
in
elemental
phosphorus
production.
New
facilities
include
those
that
commenced
construction,
modification
or
reconstruction
after
the
date
of
proposal.
This
information
is
being
collected
to
assure
compliance
with
40
CFR
part
60,
subpart
NN.

In
general,
all
NSPS
standards
require
initial
notifications,
performance
tests,
and
periodic
reports.
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
NSPS.
Any
owner
or
operator
subject
to
the
provisions
of
this
part
shall
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
United
States
Environmental
Protection
Agency
(
EPA)
regional
office.

Approximately
13
sources
are
currently
subject
to
the
regulation,
and
it
is
estimated
that
one
new
source
will
become
subject
to
the
regulation
in
the
next
three
years1.
There
were
31
respondents
(
i.
e.,
sources)
identified
in
the
previous
ICR
and
a
new
growth
rate
of
two
respondents
per
year.
The
reduction
in
the
number
of
respondents
is
due
to
an
error
in
estimating
the
number
of
sources
in
the
previous
ICR.
In
addition,
in
estimating
a
growth
rate
for
the
industry,
the
previous
ICR
did
not
account
for
the
difficulty
in
permitting
new
phosphate
rock
mining
operations.
2
OMB
approved
the
currently
active
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
111
of
the
Clean
Air
Act
(
CAA),
as
amended,
to
establish
standards
of
performance
for
new
stationary
sources
that
reflect:

.
.
.
application
of
the
best
technological
system
of
continuous
emissions
reduction
which
(
taking
into
consideration
the
cost
of
achieving
such
emissions
reduction,
or
any
non­
air
quality
health
and
environmental
impact
and
energy
requirements)
the
Administrator
determines
has
been
adequately
demonstrated.
Section
111(
a)(
l).

The
Agency
refers
to
this
charge
as
selecting
the
best
demonstrated
technology
(
BDT).
Section
111
also
requires
that
the
Administrator
review
and,
if
appropriate,
revise
such
standards
every
four
years.

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,
particulate
matter
emissions
from
phosphate
rock
plants
cause
or
contribute
to
air
pollution
that
may
reasonably
be
anticipated
to
endanger
public
health
or
welfare.
Therefore,
the
NSPS
were
promulgated
for
this
source
category
at
40
CFR
part
60,
subpart
NN.
3
2(
b)
Practical
Utility/
Users
of
the
Data
The
control
of
particulate
matter
emissions
from
phosphate
rock
plants
requires
not
only
the
installation
of
properly
designed
equipment,
but
also
the
operation
and
maintenance
of
that
equipment.
Emissions
of
particulate
matter
from
phosphate
rock
plants
are
the
result
of
the
operation
of
the
affected
facilities.
The
subject
standards
are
achieved
by
the
capture
of
particulate
emissions
using
a
baghouse
or
wet
scrubber.
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
the
regulations
are
being
met.
Performance
test
reports
are
needed
as
these
are
the
Agency's
record
of
a
source's
initial
capability
to
comply
with
the
emission
standards,
and
serve
as
a
record
of
the
operating
conditions
under
which
compliance
was
achieved.
The
semiannual
reports
are
used
for
problem
identification,
as
a
check
on
source
operation
and
maintenance,
and
for
compliance
determinations.
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
NSPS
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
60,
subpart
NN.

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
its
own
similar
standards
to
implement
the
Federal
standards,
a
copy
of
the
report
submitted
to
the
state
or
local
agency
can
be
sent
to
the
Administrator
in
lieu
of
the
report
required
by
the
Federal
standards.
Therefore,
no
duplication
exists.

3(
b)
Public
Notice
Required
Prior
to
ICR
Submission
to
OMB
An
announcement
of
a
public
comment
period
for
the
renewal
of
this
ICR
was
published
in
the
Federal
Register
(
69
FR
29718)
on
May
25,
2004.
No
comments
were
received
on
the
burden
published
in
the
Federal
Register.

3(
c)
Consultations
In
estimating
the
burden
associated
with
this
standard,
EPA
consulted
with
Stephen
M.
Jasinski,
Phosphate
Rock
Commodity
Specialist,
United
States
Geological
Survey,
(
703)
648­
7711.
As
part
of
this
consultation,
Mr.
Jasinski
provided
an
estimate
of
the
number
of
affected
sources
subject
to
the
standard
and
provided
information
on
the
number
of
plants
that
will
startup
or
shutdown
in
the
next
three
years.
Mr.
Jasinski
indicated
that
there
are
13
active
phosphate
mining
and
processing
plants
in
the
United
States.
He
also
noted
that
in
the
next
three
years
there
will
be
no
growth
in
the
industry
due
to
the
difficulty
in
obtaining
permits
for
new
mining
operations.
However,
Mr.
Jasinski
predicts
that
an
existing
plant
in
Florida,
which
has
been
closed
since
1999,
will
restart
operations.
Therefore,
based
on
his
consultation,
we
estimate
that
there
are
13
existing
sources
with
one
new
source
added
over
the
next
three
years.
The
reduction
in
the
number
of
existing
plants
from
the
previous
ICR
is
due
to
an
error
in
estimating
the
number
of
sources
identified
in
the
previous
ICR.
In
addition,
several
plants
operating
at
the
start
of
the
previous
ICR
(
i.
e.,
three
years
ago)
are
not
currently
operating.

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
was
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
any
of
the
regulations
established
by
OMB
at
5
CFR
1320.5.

3(
f)
Confidentiality
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
automated
parameter
data,
e.
g.,
continuous
opacity
monitoring.
Although
personnel
at
the
affected
facility
must
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
still
not
widely
used
by
the
regulatory
agencies.
It
is
estimated
that
approximately
10
percent
of
the

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.
Data
and
records
maintained
by
the
respondents
are
tabulated
and
published
8
for
use
in
compliance
and
enforcement
programs.
The
semiannual
reports
are
used
for
problem
identification,
as
a
check
on
source
operation
and
maintenance,
and
for
compliance
determinations.

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,
maintenance,
and
retrieval
of
compliance
data
for
approximately
125,000
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
1,602

from
the
development
of

This

uses
the
following
labor
rates:

Managerial

95.32
($

Technical
$
64.60
($
30.76
+

Clerical
$
40.09
($

These
rates
are
from
the
United

Department
of
Labor,
Bureau
of
Labor
Statistics,
December
2003,
"
Table

Private
industry,
by

group."
The
rates
are
from
column

The
rates
have
been
increased
by
110%
to
account
for
the

available
to
those
employed
by

Estimating
Capital/
Startup
and
Operation
and
Maintenance
Costs
The
type
of
industry
costs
associated
with
the
information
collection
activities
in
the
subject
standard(
s)
are
both
labor
costs
which
are
addressed
elsewhere
in
this
ICR
and
the
costs
associated
with
continuous
monitoring.
The
capital/
startup
costs
are
one­
time
costs
when
a
facility
becomes
subject
to
the
regulation.
The
annual
operation
and
maintenance
costs
are
the
ongoing
costs
to
maintain
the
monitor(
s)
and
other
costs
such
as
photocopying
and
postage.

Cost
estimates
were
obtained
from
Environmental
Monitor
Services,
Inc.
(
EMS),
a
manufacturer
of
NSPS
compliant
continuous
opacity
monitors
(
COMS).
EMS
estimates
the
cost
of
a
COMS
to
be
approximately
$
18,500
with
an
average
operation
and
maintenance
(
O&
M)
cost
of
$
4,200.
NSPS
Subpart
NN
requires
COMS
for
the
following
equipment;
grinders,
calciners
and
dryers.
Although
some
plants
may
commingle
emissions
from
these
pieces
of
equipment,
we
estimate
that
each
phosphate
manufacturing
plant
operates
an
average
of
two
COMS.
Therefore,
we
estimate
the
capital
cost
and
O&
M
cost
for
COMS
to
be
$
37,000
and
$
8,400
respectively.

have
been
calculated
as
the

of
the
capital/

costs,
and
the

annual
cost
for
capital/
startup
and
operation
and
maintenance
costs
to
industry
over
the
next
three
years
of
the
ICR
are
estimated
to
be

124,182.
This
cost
is
shown
on
the

of
the
OMB

are
rounded
to
show
the
cost
in
thousands
of
dollars.
The
continuous
monitoring
costs
that
are
included
in
this
section
consist
only
of
those
capital/
start­
up
and
O&
M
costs
that
a
source
incurs
as
a
result
of
the
standard.
Some
continuous
monitoring
costs
may
not
be
included
in
this
section.
For
instance,
if
a
particular
industry
typically
utilizes
a
control
device
that
must
have
a
continuous
monitor
(
e.
g.,
temperature,
pressure
drop,
etc.)
to
function
properly,
and
the
recordation
of
additional
measurements
beyond
the
minimum
are
required
by
the
standard,
then
there
is
no
capital/
startup
or
O&
M
cost,
but
there
is
a
labor
cost
to
record
the
additional
readings.
Such
a
cost
would
not
appear
in
this

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
$
5,523.

This
cost
is
based
on
the
average
hourly
labor
rate
as
follows:

Managerial
$
54.66
(

are
from
the
Office
of

Estimating
the
Respondent
Universe
and
Total
Burden
and
Costs
Based
on
our
research
for
this
ICR,
approximately
13
existing
sources
are
currently
subject
to
the
standard.
It
is
estimated
that
one
new
source
will
become
subject
to
the
standard
over
the
next
three
years.

Number
of
respondents
is
calculated
using
the
following

which
addresses
the
three

covered
by
this

Since
we
do

the
number
of

is
estimated
to

6(
f)
Reasons
for
Change
in
Burden
The
decrease
in
burden
from
the
most
recently
approved
ICR
is
due
to
an
adjustment.
The
adjustment
is
due
to
a
decrease
in
the
number
of
existing
affected
sources
from
31
to
13
and
a
decrease
in
the
predicted
growth
rate
of
the
industry
from
two
sources
per
year
to
one
new
source
over
the
three­
year
period
covered
by
this
ICR
(
i.
e.,
0.33
sources
per
year).
The
reason
for
the
change
in
the
number
of
existing
sources
is
due
to
an
error
in
estimating
the
number
of
sources
identified
in
the
previous
ICR
and
the
fact
that
several
existing
facilities
are
not
currently
operating.
The
reason
for
the
change
in
the
number
of
new
sources
is
due
to
the
difficulty
in
obtaining
permits
for
new
mining
operations.
As
mention
in
the
footnote
in
section
1(
b),
an
existing
mine
in
Florida,
that
has
ceased
operations
since
1999,
is
the
only
new
facility
that
is
expected
to
startup
over
the
next
three
years.
The
previous
ICR
estimated
that
6
new
facilities
would
startup
over
the
previous
three
years.
According
to
the
United
States
Geological
Survey,
the
amount
of
phosphate
rock
produced
over
the
next
three
years
will
remain
flat
at
approximately
35
million
tons
per
year.

Burden
Statement
The
annual
public
reporting
and
recordkeeping
burden
for
this
collection
of
information
is
estimated
to
average
55.2
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

develop,
acquire,
install,
and
utilize
technology
and
systems
for
the
purposes
of
collecting,
validating,
and
verifying

processing
and
maintaining
information,
and
disclosing
and
providing
information;
adjust
the
existing

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

An
