	Title:  NESHAP for Chromium Emissions from Hard and Decorative Chromium
Electroplating and Chromium Anodizing Tanks (40 CFR part 63, subpart N)

	ICR Numbers:  EPA ICR Number 1611.07, OMB Control Number 2060–0327.

	ICR Status:  This ICR is scheduled to expire on September 30, 2010. 
Under OMB regulations, the Agency may continue to conduct or sponsor the
collection of information while 

this submission is pending at 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, and 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: The affected entities are subject to the General Provisions
of the NESHAP at 40 CFR part 63, subpart A, and any changes, or
additions to the General Provisions specified at 40 CFR part 63, subpart
N. Owners or operators of the affected facilities must submit a
one-time-only report of any physical or operational changes, initial
performance tests, and periodic reports and results. Owners or operators
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. Reports, at a minimum, are

required semiannually.

	Burden Statement:  The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden
for this collection of information is estimated to average 77.6 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 which have subsequently changed; 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: Hard chromium electroplating, decorative
chromium electroplating, and chromium anodizing.  

	Estimated Number of Respondents: 1,770 

	Frequency of Response: Initially, occasionally, quarterly,
semiannually, and annually.

	Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:  171,118

	Estimated Total Annual Cost:  $31,933,586, which includes $5,383,586 in
labor costs, $0 in capital/startup costs, and $26,550,000 in operation
and maintenance (O&M) costs. 

	Changes in the Estimates: There was a decrease in burden hours, costs,
and number of responses currently identified in the OMB Inventory of
Approved Burdens.  This is due to a change in the number of estimated
chromium electroplating and anodizing operations affected by ICR since
the last renewal which decreased from 5,020 to 1,770 sources.
