Key Information

Abstract

This information collection request describes the burden (hours) and labor cost (dollars) associated with 40 CFR 233, the regulations that implement Clean Water Act Section 404(g). The Clean Water Act authorizes states [tribes] to assume the section 404 permit program for discharges of dredged or fill material into certain waters of the U.S. Implementing regulations establish specific information that must be submitted to EPA when a state/tribe requests program assumption and while administering the program. There are three types of information collected for different needs. The three parts are: 1) Information needed for EPA to review and approve state or tribal requests to assume the program; 2) information needed from permit applicants for reviewing and processing the permit application; and 3) information the state or tribe must submit to EPA in their annual report summarizing program administration.

They are also required to maintain records of the occurrence and duration of any startup, shutdown, or malfunction in the operation of an affected facility, or any period during which the monitoring system is inoperative. These notifications, reports, and records are essential in determining compliance, and are required of all affected facilities subject to NESHAP.

Key Information

Abstract

The NESHAP for Manufacturing of Nutritional Yeast were promulgated on May 21, 2001 and the Risk and Technology Review Amendments were published on October 16, 2017. This rule applies to facilities where the total hazardous air pollutants (HAP) emitted are either greater than or equal to 10 tons per year of any single HAP, or where the total HAP emitted are either 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. In general, all NESHAP standards require initial notifications, performance tests, and periodic reports by the owners/operators of the affected facilities. They are also required to maintain records of the occurrence and duration of any startup, shutdown, or malfunction in the operation of an affected facility, or any period during which the monitoring system is inoperative. These notifications, reports, and records are essential in determining compliance, and are required of all affected facilities subject to the NESHAP.
