Abstract: On December 15, 1989, pursuant to Section 112 of the Clean Air Act as amended in 1977 (42 USC 1857), the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) promulgated NESHAPs to control radionuclide emissions from several source categories. The regulations were published in 54 FR 51653, and are codified at 40 CFR Part 61. Of the seven subparts (B, H, I, K, R, T and W) included in the 1989 rule, as currently amended four apply to privately-operated facilities. In addition to requiring operational practices that limit emissions, Subparts B, K, R, and W impose radionuclide dose and emission limits. The information collected is used by the EPA to ensure that public health continues to be protected from the hazards of airborne radionuclides through compliance with these standards. Compliance is demonstrated through emissions testing and dose calculation when appropriate.

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: There is increase of 7,155 hours in the total estimated respondent burden and $69,300 in non-labor costs compared with the ICR currently approved by OMB. This increase is due to additional subpart B and subpart W facilities potentially coming online by 2029. In the case of subpart B, based on information gathered for this ICR renewal, the Agency identified up to 14 respondents that are likely to submit annual reports by 2029, which would be an increase of 12 facilities from the previous ICR. The additional responses for subpart B will lead to increases of 2,760 burden hours and $63,600 in non-labor cost. In the case of subpart W, there is the potential for an additional 15 non-conventional impoundments to be constructed and operated. This is estimated to produce an additional 4,395 burden hours and $5,700 in non-labor costs. For subparts K and R, there were no changes to the number of respondents, the annual time burden, or the annual non-labor cost compared to the most recent renewals of this ICR.

Annual Cost to Federal Government: $41,139
