Abstract:
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is finalizing national emission standards for hazardous air pollutants (NESHAP) for Brick and Structural Clay Products (BSCP) Manufacturing and NESHAP for Clay Ceramics Manufacturing. All major sources in these categories must meet maximum achievable control technology (MACT) standards for mercury (Hg), non-mercury (non-Hg) metal hazardous air pollutants (HAP) (or particulate matter (PM) surrogate) and dioxins/furans (Clay Ceramics only); health-based standards for acid gas HAP; and work practice standards, where applicable. The final rule, which has been informed by input from industry (including small businesses), environmental groups, and other stakeholders, protects air quality and promotes public health by reducing emissions of HAP listed in section 112 of the Clean Air Act (CAA).

Short Statement:
There is an increase of 12,410 hours in the total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently approved by OMB. This increase is due to the standard being 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 the average burden and costs associated with the first three years after the 2015 final rulemaking. This included minimal activities in years one and two following promulgation, with increasing burden for years three through six. This ICR, by in large, reflects the on-going burden and costs for existing facilities, which are expected to be similar to the burden and costs estimated for year six in the previous ICR.
