    Title: NESHAP for Epoxy Resin and Non-Nylon Polyamide Production 
(Renewal).
    ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 1681.07, OMB Control Number 2060-0290.
    ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on May 31, 2011. Under 
OMB regulations, the Agency may continue to conduct or sponsor the 
collection of information while this submission is pending at OMB. An 
agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to 
respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently 
valid OMB control number. The OMB control numbers for EPA's regulations 
in title 40 of the CFR, after appearing in the Federal Register when 
approved, are listed in 40 CFR part 9, and displayed either by 
publication in the Federal Register or by other appropriate means, such 
as on the related collection instrument or form, if applicable. The 
display of OMB control numbers in certain EPA regulations is 
consolidated in 40 CFR part 9.
    Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air 
Pollutants (NESHAP) for Epoxy Resin and Non-Nylon Polyamide Production 
were proposed on May 16, 1994, and promulgated on March 8, 1995. This 
ICR contains recordkeeping and reporting requirements that are 
mandatory for compliance with 40 CFR part 63, subpart W, regulating 
hazardous air pollutants from process vents, storage vessels, 
wastewater systems and equipment leaks. The standards require mandatory 
recordkeeping and reporting to document process information related to 
the source's ability to comply with the standards. This information is 
used by the Agency to identify sources subject to the standards and to 
insure that the maximum achievable control technology is being properly 
applied. Section 112 of the Clean Air Act, as amended in 1990, requires 
that EPA establish standards to limit emissions of hazardous air 
pollutants (HAPs) from stationary sources. The sources subject to these 
provisions emit the HAPs epichlorohydrin, and in lesser amounts, 
hydrochloric acid and methanol. Respondents are owners or operators of 
new and existing facilities that manufacture polymers and resins from 
epichlorohydrin. Source categories include basic liquid epoxy resin 
(BLR) producers and producers of epichlorohydrin-modified non-nylon 
polyamide resins, also known as wet strength resins (WSR).
    Any owner or operator subject to the provisions of this part shall 
maintain a file of these measurements, and retain the file for at least 
five years following the date of such measurements, maintenance 
reports, and records. All reports are sent to the delegated State or 
local authority. In the event that there is no such delegated 
authority, the reports are sent directly to the EPA regional office. 
This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR 
part 63, subpart W, and 40 CFR part 63, Subpart A, as authorized in 
section 112 and 114(a) of the Clean Air Act. The required information 
consists of emissions data and other information that have been 
determined to be private.
    An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required 
to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a 
currently valid OMB Control Number. The OMB Control Number for EPA's 
regulations are listed in 40 CFR part 9 and 48 CFR chapter 15, and are 
identified on the form and/or instrument, if applicable.
    Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping 
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 214 
hours per response. Burden means the total time, effort, or financial 
resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or 
disclose or provide information to or for a Federal agency. This 
includes the time needed to review instructions; develop, acquire, 
install, and utilize technology and systems for the purpose of 
collecting, validating, and verifying information, processing and 
maintaining, information, and disclosing and providing information. All 
existing ways will have to adjust to comply with any previously 
applicable instructions and requirements that have subsequently 
changed; train personnel to be able to respond to a collection of 
information; search data sources; complete and review the collection of 
information; and transmit or otherwise disclose the information.
    Respondents/Affected Entities: Epoxy resin and non-nylon polyamide 
production.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 7.
    Frequency of Response: Semiannually, quarterly and initially.
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 3,853.
    Estimated Total Annual Cost: $370,463, which includes $361,463 in 
labor costs, no capital/startup costs, and $9,000 in operation and 
maintenance (O&M) costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is no increase in the number of 
affected facilities, labor hours, or the number of responses compared 
to the previous ICR. There is, however, an increase in the estimated 
labor burden cost as currently identified in the OMB Inventory of 
Approved Burdens. This increase is not due to any program change. The 
change in the labor burden cost estimates has occurred because we 
updated the labor rates, which resulted in an increase in cost.

Director, Collection Strategies Division.
