Renewal of Radionuclide Reporting
The EPA plans to renew its information collection for radionuclide NESHAP (40 CFR part 61, subparts B, K, R, W). About 52 facilities must respond, and the renewal estimates a total burden of 11,301 hours and $1,412,827 per year (including $408,300 in annualized capital or O&M costs). Responding is mandatory under the Clean Air Act (Sec. 112) and 40 CFR part 61.
Projected Increased Reporting by 2029
EPA estimates the respondent burden rose from 4,146 hours to 11,301 hours mainly because additional facilities may come online by 2029. The Agency identified 12 subpart B respondents likely to submit annual reports by 2029, adding 2,760 hours and $63,600 in non-labor costs, and up to 15 additional subpart W impoundments adding 4,215 hours and $4,500 in non-labor costs.
