    The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has submitted a request to renew its information collection requirements for sulfuric acid plants. This request, known as the New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for sulfuric acid plants, is being reviewed by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) as part of the Paperwork Reduction Act compliance. Public comments have been previously solicited, and the current notice allows for additional comments until January 13, 2025. The regulations aim to ensure that sulfuric acid manufacturing plants follow environmental standards, with an estimated 53 respondents required to provide semiannual updates, amounting to a total estimated burden of 13,500 hours and an annual cost of $2,110,000.
