    Abstract: EPA promulgated revisions for the National Emission 
Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Group I Polymers 
and Resins. Potential respondents subject to the new requirements of 
the NESHAP include an estimated 5 existing facilities that produce 
butyl rubber, epichlorohydrin elastomer, ethylenepropylene rubber, 
neoprene rubber, and nitrile butadiene rubber. The burden attributable 
to this ICR consist of notification of front-end process vent limits, 
notification of backend operation limits, recordkeeping related to the 
new limits, and reports submitted to satisfy affirmative defense 
provisions.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Owners and operators of facilities 
that produce butyl rubber, epichlorohydrinelastomer, ethylene-propylene 
rubber, neoprene rubber, and nitrile butadienerubber.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 63, 
subpart U).
    Estimated number of respondents: 5 (total).
    Frequency of response: Initially, occasionally, and semiannually.

[[Page 36316]]

    Total estimated burden: 315 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 
5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $16,791 (per year), includes no annualized 
capital/startup nor any operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is an increase of 64 hours in the 
total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently 
approved by OMB. This is due to an adjustment, not due to any program 
changes. The respondent burden increased because this ICR revised the 
hours associated with affirmative defense, using latest estimates 
provided by industry during consultation. The previous ICR covers the 
burden associated with initial compliance of the final standard, 
including one-time notification of performance tests and notifications 
of the back-end process limits. This burden decreased because this ICR 
assumes that existing facilities have already submitted initial 
notifications and reports, and covers the burden associated with on-
going compliance.
