    Title: Requirements for Control Technology Determinations for 
Constructed and Reconstructed Major Sources of Hazardous Air Pollutants 
(Renewal).
    ICR Numbers: EPA ICR No. 1658.07, OMB Control No. 2060-0373.
    ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on January 31, 2012. 
Under the OMB regulations, the Agency may continue to conduct or 
sponsor the collection of information while this submission is pending 
at the OMB. An Agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not 
required to respond to, a collection of information, unless it displays 
a currently valid OMB control number. The OMB control numbers for EPA's 
regulations in title 40 of the CFR, after appearing in the Federal 
Register when approved, are listed in 40 CFR part 9, are displayed 
either by publication in the Federal Register or by other appropriate 
means, such as on the related collection instrument or form, if 
applicable. The display of OMB control numbers in certain EPA 
regulations is consolidated in 40 CFR part 9.
    Abstract: Section 112(g)(2)(B) of the Clean Air Act as amended in 
1990 (CAA) requires that maximum achievable control technology (MACT) 
standards be met by constructed or reconstructed major sources of 
hazardous air pollutants (HAP). Where no applicable emission limit has 
been set, the MACT determination shall be made on a case-by-case basis. 
The source owner or operator must submit certain information to allow 
the permitting authority to perform a case-by-case MACT determination 
(40 CFR 63.43(e)). Permitting agencies, either State, local, Tribal or 
Federal, review information submitted and make case-by-case MACT 
determinations. Specific activities and requirements are listed and 
described in the Supporting Statement for the ICR.
    Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping 
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 132 
hours per response. Burden means the total time, effort, or financial 
resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or 
disclose or provide information to or for a Federal agency. This 
includes the time needed to review instructions; develop, acquire, 
install, and utilize technology and systems for the purposes of 
collecting, validating, and verifying information, processing and 
maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information; 
adjust the existing ways to comply with any previously applicable 
instructions and requirements; train personnel to be able to respond to 
a collection of information; search data sources; complete and review 
the collection of information; and transmit or otherwise disclose the 
information.
    Respondents/Affected Entities: Owners or operators who construct or 
reconstruct major sources of hazardous air pollutants; State, local, 
and Tribal agencies with operating permit programs that have been 
approved by the EPA.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 8.
    Frequency of Response: Once.
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 529.
    Estimated Total Annual Cost: $38,039, which includes $37,871 in 
labor costs and $168 in O&M Costs.
    Changes in Estimate: There is a decrease of 5908 hours in the total 
estimated burden currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved 
ICR Burdens. The decrease in burden is due to the completion of setting 
MACT standards for the source category list. Therefore our revised 
estimate of burden is smaller than that estimated in the last ICR.
