MANUFACTURING, AND WOOD PRESERVING

 

PART A

1.0  Identification of the Information Collection

(a) Title and Number of the Information Collection.

	“NESHAP for Area Sources:  Acrylic and Modacrylic Fibers Production,
Carbon Black Production, Chemical Manufacturing: Chromium Compounds,
Flexible Polyurethane Foam Production and Fabrication, Lead Acid Battery
Manufacturing, and Wood Preserving.”  This is a new information
collection request (ICR) and the EPA tracking number is 2240.01. 

 (b) Short Characterization.

	This ICR covers information collection requirements in the proposed
area source rules for 

acrylic and modacrylic fibers production (40 CFR part 63, subpart
LLLLLL), carbon black production (40 CFR part 63, subpart MMMMMM),
chemical manufacturing: chromium compounds (40 CFR part 63, subpart
NNNNNN), flexible polyurethane foam production and fabrication (40 CFR
part 63, subpart OOOOOO), lead acid battery manufacturing (40 CFR part
63, subpart PPPPPP), and wood preserving (40 CFR part 63, subpart
QQQQQQ).

	The first type of potential respondents is owners or operators of any
existing or new acrylic or modacrylic fibers production plant that is an
area source of hazardous air pollutants (HAP) emissions.  The one
existing area source is already subject to emissions limits and other
requirements that are the same as those in this proposed NESHAP.  These
include numerical limits for acrylonitrile emissions from the control
devices (packed column scrubbers) for polymerization process equipment
(e.g., reactors, feed tanks) and monomer recovery process equipment such
as polymer holding tanks; operating limits for the scrubbers; and
requirements in 40 CFR part 60, subpart Kb pertaining to volatile
organic liquids in storage tanks for purchased acrylonitrile tanks.  The
proposed standards for new area source acrylic or modacrylic fibers
production plants apply to process vents, fiber spinning lines, storage
tanks, process wastewater, and equipment leaks.  These include numerical
limits for acrylonitrile emissions from these sources and various
testing, monitoring, and recordkeeping requirements.  Proposed
compliance requirements for all sources include an initial notification
of applicability, a notification of compliance status, and a startup
shutdown malfunction (SSM) plan. 

	The second type of potential respondents is owners or operators of any
existing or new carbon black production plant that is an area source of
HAP emissions.  The one existing area source is already subject to
emission limits and other requirements that are the same as those
proposed in this NESHAP.  These include requirements to reduce emissions
from carbon black production units by using either a flare or by venting
through a closed vent system to a control device that reduces emissions
by 98 weight-percent or to a HAP concentration of 20 parts per million
by volume (ppmv).  Area sources are also required to monitor operating
parameters specific to the type of control device being used.  The
requirements for new area source carbon black production plants are the
same as those for existing plants.  Proposed compliance requirements
include initial notification, a notification of compliance status,
periodic reports, and a SSM plan. 

The third type of potential respondents is owners or operators of area
source facilities that use chromite ore as the basic feedstock to
manufacture chromium compounds, primarily sodium dichromate, chromic
acid, and chromic oxide.  There are only two plants in this area source
category, and both are already subject to PM control requirements that
are the same as those in the proposed NESHAP.   Sources will be subject
to PM emissions limits and inspection and maintenance requirements
specific to the type of control device.  Proposed compliance
requirements include an initial notification of applicability, a
notification of compliance status, and a SSM plan.

The fourth type of potential respondents is owners or operators of area
source facilities that manufacture or fabricate flexible polyurethane
foam.  There are hundreds of plants in this area source category, but
almost all of them have already discontinued use of the Urban HAP of
interest, methylene chloride.  Use of materials containing methylene
chloride is forbidden for mixhead flush, mold release agents, and
equipment cleaning at slabstock, molded, and rebond foam production
facilities.  Foam fabrication facilities will be forbidden to use
adhesives containing methylene chloride.  Proposed compliance
requirements for molded and rebond foam facilities, and foam fabrication
facilities not operating loop slitters include only recordkeeping
requirements.  Proposed compliance requirements for foam fabrication
facilities operating loop slitters include a notification of compliance
status.   Emissions limits are established for HAP emissions from
auxiliary blowing agents (ABA) used in production lines at slabstock
foam production facilities, using a formula which takes into account the
variable amount of ABA used to produce different grades of foam. 
Proposed compliance requirements for slabstock foam facilities using no
methylene chloride include a notification of compliance status. 
Proposed compliance requirements for slabstock foam production
facilities using HAP-containing ABA include an initial notification of
applicability, a pre-compliance report, notification of compliance
status, semiannual reports, and an annual compliance certification.

	The fifth type of potential respondents is owners or operators of any
existing or new lead acid battery manufacturing facility that is an area
source of HAP emissions.  The 58 existing facilities are already subject
to or able to meet the emission limits and other requirements of the
NSPS for lead acid batteries contained in 40 CFR 60.372 of subpart KK. 
The lead acid battery NSPS emission limits and other requirements are
the same as those proposed in this NESHAP.  These include numerical
emissions limits for grid casting, paste mixing, three-process
operation, lead oxide manufacturing, lead reclamation, and other lead
emitting processes.  This proposed NESHAP requires control by fabric
filters for the paste mixing, three-process operation, lead oxide
manufacturing, and other lead-emitting processes and by impingement
scrubber for the grid casting and lead reclamation processes.  The
requirements for new area source lead acid battery manufacturing
facilities are the same as those for existing facilities.  Proposed
compliance requirements include initial notifications, a notification of
compliance status, and the monitoring, testing, recordkeeping, and
reporting requirements in the NSPS for lead acid batteries.  

The sixth type of potential respondents is owners or operators of area
source facilities that use pressure or thermal processes to impregnate
chemicals into wood to a depth that will provide effective long-term
resistance to attack by fungi, bacteria, insects, and marine borers. 
Existing facilities in the wood preserving source category are currently
well controlled in terms of urban metal HAP emissions as a result of a
voluntary decision by the industry to discontinue the consumer uses of
chromated copper arsenate (CCA).  All sources will be required to submit
an initial notification of applicability, notification of compliance
status, and a compliance report within 30 days of a deviation from
prohibitions.  No other recordkeeping or reporting requirements in the
General Provisions would apply.

	New and existing area sources (except as specifically excluded) would
be subject to requirements in the General Provisions (40 CFR Part 63,
Subpart A).  An existing affected source would be required to submit an
initial notification of applicability and a notification of compliance
status.  The owner or operator of an existing affected source would be
allowed to certify initial compliance based on previous performance test
results; performance tests would be required to demonstrate initial
compliance for a new affected source   The owner or operator of an
existing affected source would also be required to comply with the
requirements for startup, shutdown, and malfunction (SSM) plans and
reports in 40 CFR 63.6(e)(3).  All requirements in the General
Provisions would apply to the owner or operator of a new affected
source. 

The proposed information collection requirements for existing and new
area sources are listed in Attachments 1A and 1B.

2.  Need For and Use of the Collection

(a)	Need/Authority for the Collection.

	Section 112 of the Clean Air Act (CAA) requires EPA to establish NESHAP
for both major and area sources of HAP that are listed for regulation
under CAA section 112(c).  An area source is a stationary source that is
not a major source (i.e., an area source does not emit and does not have
the potential to emit more than 10 tons per year of any single HAP or
more than 25 tons per year of any combination of HAP).  Requirements for
area sources in CAA sections 112(c)(3) and 112(k) direct EPA to (1) 
identify at least 30 air toxics that present the greatest potential
health threat in the largest number of urban areas and (2) to identify
sufficient area source categories to ensure that sources representing 90
percent or more of the of the emissions of the 30 “listed” HAP are
subject to regulation.  EPA implements these requirements through the
Integrated Urban Air Toxics Strategy (64 FR 38715, July 19, 1999).  Each
of the source categories included in the proposed NESHAP are on the
Integrated Urban Air Toxics Strategy Area Source Category List. 

Under  CAA section 112(d)(5), we may elect to promulgate HAP standards
for area sources based on the use of generally available control
technology (GACT) or management practices used by the sources.  We can
consider costs and economic impacts in determining GACT, which is
particularly important when developing regulations for source categories
that may have few establishments and many small businesses, or when
determining whether additional control is needed for sources that are
already well-controlled as a result of other air emissions standards.

 Facilities in these source categories are currently well controlled as
a result of State and national standards and permitting requirements for
criteria pollutants that obtain co-control of HAP.  There is only one
area source plant in the U.S. in the acrylic and modacrylic fibers
source category, and this plant is currently subject to State permit
requirements.  The two area source plants that manufacture chromium
compounds and the one area source plant in the carbon black production
source category are well controlled as a result of title V permit
requirements.  Of the 58 area source plants in the lead acid battery
manufacturing category, we believe all are already subject to (or can
achieve) the requirements of the new source performance standard (NSPS)
for lead-acid battery manufacturing plants at 40 CFR part 60, subpart
KK.

There are hundreds of facilities in the flexible polyurethane foam and
fabrication area source categories.  The vast majority of these
facilities no longer use methylene chloride in the processes for several
reasons, including State and national air emission standards and worker
exposure limits established by the Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (OSHA). For the purposes of this estimate, we have
assumed that there are fifty area source slabstock foam production
facilities in the country, including one which still uses methylene
chloride as an auxiliary blowing agent.  

There are approximately 400 area source facilities in the wood
preserving area source category.  All of these facilities are well
controlled in terms of metal HAP (i.e., chromium and arsenic) emissions
as a result of a February 2002 voluntary decision by the industry to
discontinue the consumer uses of chromated copper arsenate as a wood
preservative.  These facilities have also discontinued the use of
methylene chloride.

	Certain records and reports are necessary for the Administrator to
confirm the compliance status of area sources, identify any new or
reconstructed sources subject to the standards, and confirm that the
standards are being achieved on a continuous basis.  These recordkeeping
and reporting requirements are specifically authorized by section 114 of
the Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C. 7414) and set out in the part 63 NESHAP
General Provisions.  The recordkeeping and reporting requirements for
title V permits are contained in 40 CFR 70.6 and 40 CFR 71.6.   Under
parts 63 and 70 or 71, the owner or operator must keep each record for 5
years following the date of each occurrence, measurement, maintenance,
corrective action, report, or record.    

 (b)	Use/Users of the Data.

	The information will be used by the delegated authority (State agency
or Regional Administrator if there is no delegated State agency) to
ensure that the emissions limits and other requirements are being
achieved.  Based on review of the recorded information at the site and
the reported information, the delegated permitting authority can
identify facilities that may not be in compliance and decide which
plants, records, or processes may need inspection.      

3.	Nonduplication, Consultations, and Other Collection Criteria

(a)	Nonduplication.

A computer search of EPA's ongoing ICR's revealed no duplication of
information-gathering efforts. 

 (b)  Public Notice Required Prior to ICR Submission to OMB.

	This section is not applicable because this is a rule-related ICR.

(c)	Consultations.

The proposed rules were developed in consultation with individual
plants, State agencies, and trade associations.  The non-EPA persons
consulted on the information collection activities are identified in
Table 1.

(d)	Effects of Less Frequent Collection.

	If the relevant information were collected less frequently, the
delegated permitting authority (State or EPA) would not be reasonably
assured that a plant is in compliance with the standards.

(e)	General Guidelines. 

	None of the guidelines in 5 CFR 1320.6 are being exceeded.

(f)	Confidentiality.

	All information submitted to the Agency for which a claim of
confidentiality is made will be safeguarded according to the Agency
policies set forth in Title 40, Chapter 1, Part 2, Subpart B --
Confidentiality of Business Information (see 40 CFR 2; 41 FR 36902,
September 1, 1976; amended by 43 FR 39999, September 28, 1978; 43 FR
42251, September 28, 1978; 44 FR 17674, March 23, 1979).

(g)  Sensitive Questions.  

	This section is not applicable because this ICR does not involve
matters of a sensitive nature.

4.	The Respondents and the Information Requested

(a)	Respondents/NAICS Codes.

	Potential respondents under proposed Subpart LLLLLL are owners or
operators of any existing or new acrylic or modacrylic fibers production
plant that is an area source of hazardous air pollutants (HAP)
emissions.  The one existing area source is already subject to emissions
limits and other requirements that are the same as those in this
proposed NESHAP.  The North American Industry Classification System
(NAICS) code for acrylic or modacrylic fibers production plants is
325222.  We estimate that one existing source would be subject to the
proposed NESHAP; no new area sources are projected during the 3 year
period of this ICR.

Potential respondents under proposed Subpart MMMMMM are owners or
operators of any existing or new area source facilities that manufacture
carbon black using the furnace, thermal, or acetylene decomposition
process.  The NAICS code for carbon black production is 325182.  We
estimate that one existing source would be subject to the proposed
NESHAP; no new area sources are projected during the 3 year period of
this ICR.

Potential respondents under proposed subpart NNNNNN are owners or
operators of area source facilities that use chromite ore as the basic
feedstock to manufacture chromium compounds, primarily sodium
dichromate, chromic acid, and chromic oxide.  Chromium products are
contained in NAICS code 325188.  There are only two existing plants; no
new area sources are expected during the 3-year period of this ICR.

Potential respondents under proposed Subpart OOOOOO are owners or
operators of existing or new area source facilities that either
manufacture foam from polyurethane polymer or cut or bond flexible
polyurethane foam pieces together or to other substrates.  The NAICS
code for flexible polyurethane foam production and fabrication is
326150.  We estimate that 500 or more existing sources would be subject
to the proposed NESHAP; no new area sources are projected during the 3
year period of this ICR.

Potential respondents under proposed Subpart PPPPPP are owners or
operators of existing or new area source facilities that manufacture
lead acid storage batteries made from lead alloy ingots and lead oxide. 
The NAICS code for lead acid battery manufacturing is 335911.  We
estimate that 58 existing sources would be subject to the proposed
NESHAP; no new area sources are projected during the 3 year period of
this ICR.

Potential respondents under proposed subpart QQQQQQ are owners or
operators of area source facilities that use pressure or thermal
processes to impregnate chemicals into wood to a depth that will provide
effective long-term resistance to attack by fungi, bacteria, insects,
and marine borers.  The NAICS code for wood preserving is 321114.  There
are approximately 400 area source facilities in the wood preserving area
source category; no new area sources are expected during the 3 year
period of this ICR.

(b) Information Requested.

	(i)  Data Items, Including Recordkeeping Requirements.  Attachments 1A
and 1B, Source Data and Information Requirements, summarizes the
proposed data items, including recordkeeping and reporting requirements.

	(ii)  Respondent Activities.  The respondent activities required by the
proposed rules are identified in Tables 2A, 2B, 2C, 2D, 2E, and 2F and
are introduced in section 6(a).

5.	The Information Collected–Agency Activities, Collection
Methodology, and Information Management

(a)	Agency Activities.

	The Agency activities are provided in Tables 3A, 3B, 3C, 3D, 3E, and 3F
and are introduced in section 6(c).

(b)	Collection Methodology and Management.

	Data and records maintained by the respondents are tabulated and
published for use in compliance and enforcement programs of the
delegated permitting authority.  The monitoring reports submitted to the
permitting authority are used for problem identification, as a check on
source operation and maintenance, and for compliance determinations. 
EPA is the permitting authority until the State agency is delegated
authority to implement the final rule.  Therefore, information contained
in the reports submitted to the Regional Administrator will be entered
into the Air Facility System (AFS), which is operated and maintained by
EPA's Office of Compliance.  AFS is EPA’s database for the collection,
maintenance, and retrieval of compliance data for approximately 125,000
industrial and government-owned facilities.  EPA uses the AFS for
tracking air pollution compliance and enforcement by local and state
regulatory agencies, EPA regional offices and EPA headquarters.  EPA and
its delegated authorities can edit, store, retrieve and analyze the
data.

(c)  Small Entity Flexibility.

	The Small Business Administration defines a small entity as a firm
having no more than 1,000 employees (for the acrylic and modacrylic
fibers production facilities and chromium compound production
facilities) or 500 employees (for the production of carbon black,
flexible polyurethane foam, lead acid batteries, and for the wood
preserving industry).  There would not be adverse impacts on any small
entities in any of the seven source categories because the proposed
rules do not create any new requirements or burdens for existing sources
other than minimal notification, reporting, and recordkeeping
requirements.

(d)  Collection Schedule.

	The specific frequency for each information collection activity within
this request is shown in Tables 2A, 2B, 2C, 2D, 2E, and 2F.

6.   Estimating the Burden and Cost of the Collection

(a)  Estimating Respondent Burden.

	The annual burden estimates for the proposed NESHAP are shown in Tables
2A (for subpart LLLLLL), 2B (for subpart MMMMMM), 2C (for subpart
NNNNNN), 2D (for subpart OOOOOO), 2E (for subpart PPPPPP), and 2F (for
subpart QQQQQQ).  These numbers were derived from estimates based on
EPA’s experience with other standards.  No burden estimates are
provided for new area sources because no new facilities are expected
during the 3-year period of this ICR.

(b)  Estimating Respondent Costs.

	The information collection activities for the proposed NESHAP are
presented in Tables 2A, 2B, 2C, 2D, 2E, and 2F.  Because the data are
already collected by respondents as required by the existing permit
requirements, no respondent development costs are associated with the
information collection activities.

(i)  Estimating Labor Costs.  Labor rates and associated costs are based
on Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) data.  Technical, management, and
clerical average hourly rates for private industry workers were taken
from the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics,
December 2006, “Table 2. Civilian Workers, by occupational and
industry group” available at   HYPERLINK
"http://www.bls.gov/news.release/ecec.t02.htm" 
http://www.bls.gov/news.release/ecec.t02.htm .  Wages for occupational
groups are used as the basis for the labor rates with a total
compensation of $41.89/hour for technical, $48.09/hour for managerial,
and $20.86/hour for clerical.  These rates represent salaries plus
fringe benefits and do not include the cost of overhead.  An overhead
rate of 110 percent is used to account for these costs.  The
fully-burdened hourly wage rates used to represent respondent labor
costs are:  technical at $87.98, management at $100.98, and clerical at
$43.80.

	(ii)  Estimating Capital and Operations and Maintenance (O&M) Costs. 
The proposed NESHAP does not require the installation of any new control
devices or monitoring systems at existing facilities.  Capital and O&M
costs are not estimated for new sources because no new sources are
expected during the next 3-year period.  Therefore, no (zero) capital
and O&M costs are associated with the proposed NESHAP during the 3-year
period of this ICR.  

	(iii)  Capital/Startup vs. O&M Costs.  Capital/startup costs are not
estimated for existing area sources because the proposed NESHAP do not
require the installation of any new control devices or monitoring
systems.   Capital/startup costs are not estimated for new sources
because no new sources are expected during the next 3-year period. 
Therefore, no (zero) capital/startup are associated with the proposed
NESHAP during the 3-year period of this ICR. 

	(iv)  Annualizing Capital Costs.  No capital costs are associated with
the proposed NESHAP.  Therefore, no (zero) annualized costs are
associated with the proposed NESHAP during the 3-year period of this
ICR. 

(c)  Estimating Agency Burden and Cost.

	Because the information collection requirements were developed as an
incidental part of standards development, no costs can be attributed to
the development of the information collection requirements.  Because
reporting and recordkeeping requirements on the part of the respondents
are required under the operating permits rules in 40 CFR part 70 or part
71 and the part 63 NESHAP General Provisions, no operational costs would
be incurred by the Federal Government.  Publication and distribution of
the information are part of the Compliance Data System, with the result
that no Federal costs can be directly attributed to the ICR. 
Examination of records to be maintained by the respondents will occur
incidentally as part of the periodic inspection of sources that is part
of EPA's overall compliance and enforcement program, and, therefore, is
not attributable to the ICR.  The only costs that the Federal government
would incur are user costs associated with the analysis of the reported
information, as presented in Tables 3A, 3B, 3C, 3D, 3E, and 3F.

	The Agency labor rates are from the Office of Personnel Management
(OPM) 2006 General Schedule which excludes locality rates of pay.  These
rates can be obtained from Salary Table 2006-GS available on the OPM
website,   HYPERLINK "http://www.opm.gov/oca/06tables/html/gs_h.asp" 
http://www.opm.gov/oca/06tables/html/gs_h.asp . The government employee
labor rates are $14.35/hour for clerical (GS-6, Step 3), $26.53 for
technical (GS-12, Step 1), and $35.75/hr for management (GS-13, Step 5).
 These rates were increased by 60 percent to include fringe benefits and
overhead.  The fully-burdened wage rates used to represent Agency labor
costs are:  clerical at $22.96; technical at $42.45, and management at
$57.20.

(d) 	Estimating the Respondent Universe and Total Burden and Costs.

There is one existing acrylic and modacrylic fiber production area
source facility.  No new sources are expected during the next 3 years. 
Consequently, the average number of respondents during the 3 year period
of this ICR is 0.33.  There is one existing carbon black production area
source.  No new sources are expected during the next 3 years. 
Consequently, the average number of respondents during the 3 year period
of this ICR is 0.33.  There are two existing chromium compound
manufacturing area sources.  No new sources are expected during the next
3 years.  Consequently, the average number of respondents during the 3
year period of this ICR is 0.67.  There are approximately 500 existing
flexible polyurethane foam production and fabrication area sources.  No
new sources are expected during the next 3 years.  Consequently, the
average number of respondents during the 3 year period of this ICR is
166.67.  Forty-nine  slabstock foam production area sources are subject
to reporting requirements (notification of compliance status) that the
other foam facilities are not.  The average number of respondents
required to submit a notification of compliance status during the three
year period of this ICR is 16.67.  A single slabstock foam production
plant which still uses methylene chloride is projected to have a higher
burden than the other plants due to burden items resulting from
additional rule requirements.  There are 58 existing lead acid battery
manufacturing area sources.  No new sources are expected during the next
3 years.  Consequently, the average number of respondents during the 3
year period of this ICR is 19.33.  There are 393 existing wood
preserving area sources.  No new sources are expected during the next 3
years.  Consequently, the average number of respondents during the 3
year period of this ICR is 131.   The total average number of
respondents for all source categories is 0.33 + 0.33 + 0.67 +166.67+
19.33 + 131= 318.33. 

The only components of the total annual responses attributable to this
ICR are a startup, shutdown, and malfunction plan for some plants, two
one-time initial notifications for each existing facility, and initial
performance tests for lead acid battery plants and one chromium plant.

The number of total annual responses for proposed subpart LLLLLL
(acrylic and modacrylic fibers production area sources) is estimated as:
 (0.33 annual average respondents × 1 notification) + (0.33 annual
average respondents × 1 notification) + (0.33 annual average
respondents × 1 written plan).   Therefore, the number of total annual
responses for proposed subpart LLLLLL is 1.

The number of total annual responses for proposed subpart MMMMMM (carbon
black production area sources) is estimated as:  (0.33 annual average
respondents × 1 notification) + (0.33 annual average respondents × 1
notification) + (0.33 annual average respondents × 1 written plan).  
Therefore, the number of total annual responses for proposed subpart
MMMMMM is 1.  

The number of total annual responses for subpart NNNNNN (chemical
manufacturing: chromium compounds area sources) is estimated as:  (0.67
annual average respondents × 1 notification) + (0.67 annual average
respondents × 1 notification) + (0.67 annual average respondents × 1
written plan).  Therefore, the number of total annual responses for
subpart NNNNNN is 2.

The number of total annual responses for proposed subpart OOOOOO
(flexible polyurethane foam production and fabrication area sources) is
estimated as:  (16.67 annual average* respondents × 1 notification) +
(0.33 annual average respondents × 5 notifications).   Therefore, the
number of total annual responses for proposed subpart OOOOOO is 18.

The number of total annual responses for proposed subpart PPPPPP (lead
acid battery manufacturing area sources) is estimated as:  (19.33 annual
average respondents × 1 notification) + (19.33 annual average
respondents × 1 notification) + (5 annual average respondents × 1
performance test).   Therefore, the number of total annual responses for
proposed subpart PPPPPP is 44.

The number of total annual responses for proposed subpart QQQQQQ (wood
preserving area sources) is estimated as:  (131 annual average
respondents × 1 notification) + (131 annual average respondents × 1
notification).   Therefore, the number of total annual responses for
proposed subpart QQQQQQ is 262.

The total number of responses for the combined source categories is 328.

 (e)	Bottom Line Burden Hours and Cost Tables.

	(i)  Respondent tally.  The bottom line respondent burden hours and
costs, presented in Tables 2A, 2B, 2C, 2D, 2E, and 2F are calculated by
adding person-hours per year down each column for technical, managerial,
and clerical staff, and by adding down the cost column.

The average annual burden for the monitoring, recordkeeping, and
reporting requirements in proposed subpart LLLLLL for the one existing
acrylic and modacrylic production area source is 9 person hours with an
annual average cost of $780 with no capital and O&M costs.

The average annual burden for the monitoring, recordkeeping, and
reporting requirements in proposed subpart MMMMMM for the one existing
carbon black manufacturing area source is 9 person hours with an annual
average cost of $780 with no capital and O&M costs.

are area sources.  No new sources are projected during the 3-year term
of this ICR.  Therefore, the average number of respondents per year is
0.67 (2÷3=0.67).  No travel is expected.

b  This ICR uses the following average hourly labor rates: 57.20 for
managerial (GS-13, Step 5, $35.75 x 1.6), $42.45 (GS-12, Step 1, $26.53
x 1.6) for technical and $22.96 (GS-6, Step 3, $14.35 x 1.6) for
clerical.  These rates are from the Office of Personnel Management (OPM)
(2006 General Schedule( which excludes locality rates of pay.

   The Acrylic and Modacrylic Fibers Production, Flexible Polyurethane
Foam Production, Lead Acid Battery Manufacturing, and Wood Preserving
source categories were added to the area source category list on June
26, 2002 (67 FR 43112, 43113).  The Acrylic and Modacrylic Fibers area
source category listing was based on emissions of the HAP acrylonitrile.
 Emissions of HAP metals (lead and cadmium) were the basis for the
listing of the Lead Acid Battery Manufacturing area source categories. 
The listings of Flexible Polyurethane Foam Production and Flexible
Polyurethane Foam Fabrication Operations were based on HAP emissions of
methylene chloride, while the listing of Wood Preserving was based on
HAP emissions of arsenic, chromium, methylene chloride and dioxin.  On
November 22, 2002 (67 FR 70427), Carbon Black Production and Chemical
Manufacturing:  Chromium Compounds were added to the area source
category list based on HAP emissions of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons
(7-PAHs) and HAP metals (chromium), respectively.
