Abstract:
The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Solvent Extraction for Vegetable Oil Production (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart GGGG) were proposed on May 26, 2000, promulgated on April 12, 2001, and amended on September 1, 2004. Amendments to the NESHAP are being proposed as a result of the residual risk and technology review (RTR) required under the Clean Air Act (CAA), as discussed below. The proposed amendments to the rule eliminate the recordkeeping and reporting requirements associated with startup, shutdown, and malfunction (SSM); add work practice standards for initial startup periods; add a requirement for an initial startup report to be submitted at the end of the initial startup period; require electronic reporting for performance test, initial notification, and annual compliance certification; and make miscellaneous technical and editorial changes. The remaining portions of the NESHAP remain unchanged. Based on our consultations with industry representatives, there are an average of one affected facility at each plant site and each plant site has only one respondent (i.e., the owner/operator of the plant site). Over the next three years, approximately 89 respondents per year will be subject to the standard, and one additional respondent per year will become subject to the standard.

Miscellaneous Actions
Short Statement:
The decrease in the total estimated burden from the most recently approved ICR is due to multiple adjustments. There is a decrease in the respondent labor hours and number of responses in this ICR compared to the previous ICR. The number of facilities subject to the standards changed based on consultation with industry representatives and state/local agencies. There is no burden associated with the proposed work practice standards as facilities are already conducting these activities. We estimate that the burden created with the new recordkeeping and reporting activities for initial startup periods is less than the burden associated with developing SSM reporting – which is now being removed. The burden estimate for submittal of performance test, initial notification, or annual compliance certification was not adjusted to account for the new requirement that these reports be submitted electronically through CEDRI using the ERT. The burden estimates in the current ICR for paper format submittal of performance test, initial notification, and annual compliance certification is an appropriate estimate for electronic submittal of these reports. The miscellaneous technical and editorial changes do not impact burden.
