Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The decrease in burden from the most recently approved ICR is due to an adjustment(s). The adjustment decrease in burden from the most recently approved ICR for new and existing facilities is due primarily to a program change in a very similar Part 63 regulation for Mercury Cell Chlor-Alkali plants. Beginning on May 6, 2025, any amount of mercury emissions from mercury cell chlor-alkali plants are prohibited pursuant to 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart IIIII. It is assumed that the single mercury cell chlor-alkali facility will either convert its one mercury cell unit to a non-mercury technology (its other units are already using non-mercury technology) or close that mercury cell unit and thereafter rely solely on its other non-mercury units for chlorine production (87 FR 27002). As such, the one mercury cell chlor-alkali plant that was accounted for in the most recently approved ICR is not expected to be in operation. While there is a decrease in burden from the most recently approved ICR, there is an increase in costs, which is wholly due to the use of updated labor rates.
