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 Phosphoric Acid Manufacturing and Phosphate Fertilizer Production, 40 CFR part 63, subparts AA and BB, referred to as the Phosphoric Acid and Phosphate Fertilizer NESHAP and information collection activities imposed by amendments to the Standards of Performance for the Phosphate Fertilizer Industry, 40 CFR part 60, subparts T, U, V, W, and X, referred to as the Phosphoric Acid Manufacturing and Phosphate Fertilizer NSPS. In 1999, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) promulgated national emission standards for hazardous air pollutants for new and existing phosphoric acid manufacturing and phosphate fertilizer production facilities under 40 CFR part 63, subparts AA and BB (64 FR 31358, June 10, 1999). On June 13, 2002 EPA amended subpart AA to revise PM emissions limits for existing phosphate rock calciners, in response to a petition from The Fertilizer Institute. Phosphoric Acid Manufacturing and Phosphate Fertilizer NSPS requirements were promulgated in 1975 for subparts T and U and in 1977 for subparts V, W, and X. As part of the residual risk review for the NESHAP and technology reviews for both the NESHAP and NSPS, EPA issued proposed rules in 2014. This information collection request documents the additional recordkeeping and reporting requirements and burden imposed by the proposed rules. This ICR includes the burden for activities that will be conducted in the first three years following promulgation of the proposed Phosphoric Acid and Phosphate Fertilizer NESHAP. These activities include reading the rule, performance testing, completing performance evaluations, developing a gypsum dewatering stack and cooling pond management plant, and monitoring, recordkeeping, and reporting requirements.
