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. In 2001, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) promulgated national emission standards for hazardous air pollutants for new and existing nutritional yeast production facilities under 40 CFR part 63, subpart CCCC (66 FR 27876, May 21, 2001). Amendments to the NESHAP and a Risk and Technology Review were proposed on December 28, 2016 and promulgated on October 16, 2017. 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. The Nutritional Yeast NESHAP sets emission limits for fermenter operations at nutritional yeast manufacturing facilities. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 63, subpart CCCC. This ICR renewal reflects changes in burden following implementation of the 2017 final rule amendments, as the standard has been in effect for more than three years.

Short Statement:
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 these standards have 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. There is an additional increase in the labor burden in this ICR, compared to the previous ICR, due to the increase in labor costs over the past 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.
