    Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air 
Pollutants (NESHAP) for the regulations published at 40 CFR part 63, 
subpart OOO were proposed on December 14, 1998, promulgated on January 
20, 2000, and amended on April 20, 2006, October 8, 2014, and October 
15, 2018. These regulations apply to existing facilities and new 
facilities that engage in the manufacture of amino/phenolic resins with 
HAP emissions points that include: (1) Reactor batch process vents; (2) 
nonreactor batch process vents; (3) continuous process vents; (4) 
equipment leaks; (5) wastewater; (6) storage vessels; and (7) heat 
exchangers. New facilities include those that commenced construction or 
reconstruction after the date of proposal of the 2014 rule amendment. 
This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR 
part 63, subpart OOO.
    The October 15, 2018 amendments (83 FR 51842) responded to 
petitions for reconsideration regarding the NESHAP rule revisions that 
were promulgated on October 8, 2014 and revised the standards for 
continuous process vents (CPVs) at existing affected sources, revised 
the requirements for storage vessels at new and existing sources during 
periods when an emission control system used to control vents on fixed 
roof storage vessels is undergoing planned routine maintenance, and 
included minor technical corrections to improve rule clarity. This 
renewal incorporates revised costs and burden from activities from 
these final rule amendments.
    In general, all NESHAP standards require initial notifications, 
performance tests, and periodic reports by the owners/operators of the 
affected facilities. They 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. These notifications, reports, and 
records are essential in determining compliance, and are required of 
all affected facilities subject to NESHAP.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Facilities that manufacture amino/
phenolic resins.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 63, 
subpart OOO).
    Estimated number of respondents: 19 (total).
    Frequency of response: Initially, occasionally, and semiannually.
    Total estimated burden: 23,300 hours (per year). Burden is defined 
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $4,910,000 (per year), which includes 
$2,210,000 annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is an increase in burden from the 
most recently approved ICR. This renewal incorporates revised costs and 
burden from activities applicable to a subset of facilities with 
storage tanks or continuous process vents, which includes 
recordkeeping, reporting and monitoring requirements. There is an 
increase in the annual O&M costs for facilities with RTOs for control 
of continuous process vents.
