    Title: NESHAP for Reinforced Plastic Composites Production 
(Renewal)
    ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 1976.05, OMB Control Number 2060-0509.
    ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on July 31, 2012. Under 
OMB regulations, the Agency may continue to conduct or sponsor the 
collection of information while this submission is pending at OMB.
    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 Provisions specified at 40 CFR part 63, subpart 
WWWW.
    Owners or operators of the affected facilities must submit initial 
notification, performance tests, and periodic reports and results. 
Owners or

[[Page 37905]]

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.
    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 WWWW, as 
authorized in section 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 Numbers for the EPA 
regulations are listed 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 is estimated to average 16 
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: Owners or operators of reinforced 
plastic composites production facilities.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 552.
    Frequency of Response: Initially, and semiannually.
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 19,312.
    Estimated Total Annual Cost: $1,874,090, which includes $1,850,478 
in labor costs, no capital/startup costs, and $23,612 in operation and 
maintenance (O&M) costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is an increase in burden hours to 
the both the respondents and the Agency as compared to the most 
recently approved ICR. The increase is due to industry growth in the 
past three years, resulting in additional number of respondents that 
are subject to this standard. The growth in respondent universe also 
results in an increase in the total O&M costs.
    In addition, there is an increase in burden costs to both the 
respondent and the Agency due to an adjustment in labor rates. This ICR 
uses the most recent labor rates from the Bureau of Labor Statistics in 
calculating the labor costs.
