**7 . A**  **bstract** (4000 characters maximum, attach additional sheets as necessary): **The amendments to the ICR are a result of the review of the existing NESHA**  **P for Natural Gas Transmission and Storage (40 CFR part 63, subpart HHH) as required by**  **the Clean A ir A**  **ct. The National Emission Standards for Hazardous A ir Pollutants (NESHA**  **P) for Natu ral Gas**  **Transmission a nd Storage, published at 40 CFR part 63, subpart HHH, were proposed on February**  **6, 1998 and promulgated on June 17, 1999. These regulations apply**  **to existing facilities and new facilities that are major sources of hazardous air pollutants ( HA**  **P) and that t**  **ransport or store natural gas prior to entering the pipeline to a local distribution company or to a final end user (if the**  **re is no local distribution company**  **). New facilities include those that commenced construction or reconstruction after the date of proposal. This**  **information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 63, subpart HHH. The proposed rulemaking would amend title 40, chapter I, part 63 subpart HHH to include, emission sources for which standards**  **were not previously** 

**d eveloped. We are proposing standards for these emission sources pursuant to CAA**  **section 112(d)(2) and (3). Therefore, the number of affected facilities under this subpart is expected to increase. The estimates of the size of the regulated uni**  **verse are b ased**  **on information obtained from the National Emissions Inventory (NEI) database. Overall, EPA**  **estimates that approximately 53 r**  **espondents would be subject to the regulation, and an additional 2 respondents will become subject each year. Labor costs wer**  **e also updated in this ICR to reflect current burden on industry**  **and the A gency**  **. EPA assumes that there is an average of one affected facility**  **per plant (i.e.,**  **respondent). EPA**

**estimates that the annual cost of this information collection will be $0 for non**  **- labor and $**  **86,823 for labor, based on a**  **labor burden of 2,**  **591 hours.** Revised 1/30/2007
