    Abstract: The NESHAP for the Manufacture of Amino/Phenolic Resins 
were proposed on December 14, 1998, and promulgated on January 20, 
2000. 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 OOO. 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 are required semiannually at 
a minimum.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Amino/phenolic resins manufacturing 
facilities.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 63, 
subpart OOO).
    Estimated number of respondents: 37 (total).
    Frequency of response: Initially, occasionally, quarterly, 
semiannually, and annually.
    Total estimated burden: 22,370 hours (per year). ``Burden'' is 
defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $2,202,893 (per year), includes $14,800 
annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is an overall decrease in burden 
and cost for both the respondent and Agency. This is not due to any 
program changes. The burden decreased since the last ICR renewal due to 
a revision in the number of respondents. Based on recent industry data 
and Agency estimates, we have revised the number of affected sources 
from 40 to 37. This revision also resulted in a corresponding decrease 
in the total O&M costs.
    In addition, this ICR corrects the Agency burden associated with 
the review of repeat performance tests. This ICR assumes that only 5 
percent of respondents will conduct these tests.

Director, Collection Strategies Division.
