    Title: 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 (Renewal).
    ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 2256.03, OMB Control Number 2060-0598.
    ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on October 31, 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 National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air 
Pollutants (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 were proposed on April 
4, 2007, and promulgated on July 16, 2007.
    Owners and operators of 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, must submit an initial notification of applicability, a 
notification of compliance status, initial performance test, and 
periodic reports and results. Owners and operators of an existing 
affected source are also required to comply with the requirements of 
any startup, shutdown, or malfunction in the operation of an affected 
facility. Semiannual reports are also required.
    Any owner or operator subject to the provisions of this part shall 
maintain a file of these measurements, and retain the file for at least 
five years following the date of such measurements, maintain reports 
and records. Performance tests reports are required as this is the 
Agency's record of a source's initial capability to comply with the 
emission standard, and they serve as a record of the operating 
conditions under which compliance was achieved.

[[Page 54337]]

    All reports are sent to the delegated State or local authority. In 
the event that there is no such delegated authority, the reports are 
sent directly to the EPA regional office. This information is being 
collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 63, subpart LLLLLL, 40 
CFR part 63, subpart MMMMMM, 40 CFR part 63, subpart NNNNNN, 40 CFR 
part 63, subpart OOOOOO, 40 CFR part 63, subpart PPPPPP, and 40 CFR 
part 63, subpart QQQQQQ, as authorized in sections 112 and 114(a) of 
the Clean Air Act. The required information consists of emissions data 
and other information that have been determined to be private.
    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 Number for EPA's 
regulations are list in 40 CFR part 9 and 48 CFR chapter 15, and are 
identified on the form and/or instrument, if applicable.
    Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping 
burden for this collection of information are estimated to average 12 
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 purpose of 
collecting, validating, and verifying information, processing and 
maintaining, information, and disclosing and providing information. All 
existing ways will have to adjust to comply with any previously 
applicable instructions and requirements that 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: 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.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 319.
    Frequency of Response: Initially, semiannually, and occasionally.
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 4,233.
    Estimated Total Annual Cost: $399,523, which includes $399,523 in 
labor costs, no capital/startup costs, and no operation and maintenance 
(O&M) costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is a decrease in the number of 
affected facilities due to a more accurate accounting of existing 
sources. This decrease is not due to any program changes.
    There is an increase in the estimated labor burden hours and cost 
as currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved Burdens. The 
increase is due to more accurate calculations, and the use of more 
recent labor rates.
