    Abstract: Owners and operators of affected facilities are required 
to comply with reporting and record keeping requirements for the 
General Provisions (40 CFR part 63, subpart A), as well as the specific 
requirements at 40 CFR part 63, subpart JJJ. This includes submitting 
initial notifications, performance tests and periodic reports and 
results, and maintaining 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 reports are used by EPA to determine compliance with 
the standards.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Thermoplastic resin production 
facilities.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 63, 
subpart JJJ).
    Estimated number of respondents: 31 (total).
    Frequency of response: Initially, occasionally, semiannually, and 
quarterly.
    Total estimated burden: 177,000 hours (per year). Burden is defined 
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $9,350,000 in annualized capital/startup and/
or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is an increase in the total 
estimated burden, labor costs, and capital and O&M costs as currently 
identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved Burdens. The change in the 
burden and cost estimates occurred because the previously-approved ICR 
only covered the burden and costs associated with the 2014 amendment. 
This ICR combines the burden from both the 2014 amendment and the pre-
2014 requirements of the rule.
