. **1(b) Short Characterization/Abstract** The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for : Acrylic and Modacrylic Fibers Production ; Carbon Black Production ; Chemical Manufacturing: Chromium Compounds ; Flexible Poly urethane Foam Production and Fabrication ; Lead Acid Battery Manufacturing ; and Wood Preserving were all: proposed on April 4, 2007, promulgated on June 16, 2007, and amended on March 26, 2008 . These various regulations apply to six different types of potential respondents. The first ty

pe of potential respondents are either owners or operators of any existing or new acrylic or modacrylic fibers production plant that is an area source of hazardous air pollutants (HAP) emissions. The one existing area source is already subject to emissions limits and other requirements that are the same as those in this final NESHAP. These include : numerical limi ts for acrylonitrile emissions from the control devices (packed column scrubbers) for poly merization process equipment (e.g., reactors, feed tanks) and monomer recovery process equipment such as pol ym er holding tanks; operating limits for the scrubbers; an d requirements in 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart Kb pertaining to volatile organic liquids in acrylonitrile storage tanks. The final standards for new area source acrylic or modacrylic fibers production plants apply to process vents, fiber spinning lines, storag e tanks, process and maintenance wastewater, and equipment leaks. These include numerical limits for acrylonitrile emissions from these sources and various testing, monitoring, and recordkeeping requirements. Compliance requirements for all sources inclu de an initial notification of applicability , a notification of compliance status, and a startup shutdown malfunction (SSM) plan.
The second type of potential respondents covers owners or operators of an y existing or new carbon black production plant that is an area source of HAP emissions. There are no existing area sources. The final rule for existing sources includes requirements to reduce emissions from carbon black production units b y using either a flare or b y venting through a2

closed vent s ys tem to a control device that reduces emissions by 98 weight

- percent or to a HAP concentration of 20 Parts per million by volume (ppmv). Area sources are also required to monitor operating parameters specific to the type of control device being used. Th e requirements for new area source carbon black production plants are the same as those for existing plants. Compliance requirements include an initial notification, a notification of compliance status, periodic reports, and an SSM plan. The third ty

pe of potential respondents involves owners or operators of area source facilities that use chromite ore as the basic feedstock to manufacture chromium compounds, primarily sodium dichromate, chromic acid, and chromic oxide. There are only two plants in this area source category , and both are already subject to particulate matter ( PM) control requirements that are the same as those in the final NESHAP. Sources will be subject to PM emissions limits and inspection and maintenance requirements specific to the ty pe of control device. Compliance requirements include an initial notification of applicability , a notification of compliance status, and an SSM plan.
The fourth t ype of potential respondents covers owners or operators of area source facilities that manufacture or fabricate flexible poly urethane foam. There are hundreds of plants in this area source category , but almost all of them have already discontinued use of the urban HAP of interest, meth yl en e chloride. Use of materials containing methylene chloride is forbidden for mixhead flush; mold release agents; and equipment cleaning at slabstock, molded; and rebond foam production facilities. Foam fabrication facilities are forbidden to use adhesives containing meth yl ene chloride. Compliance requirements for molded and rebond foam facilities, and foam fabrication facilities not operating loop slitters include only recordkeeping requirements. Compliance requirements for foam fabrication facilities op erating loop slitters include a notification of compliance status. Emissions limits are established for HAP emissions from auxiliary

blowing agents (ABA) used in production lines at slabstock foam production facilities, using a formula which takes into a ccount the variable amount of ABA used to produce different grades of foam. Compliance requirements for slabstock foam facilities using no methylene chloride include a notification of compliance status. Compliance requirements for slabstock foam producti on facilities using HAP

- containing ABA include an initial notification, a pre - compliance report, a notification of compliance status, semiannual reports, and an annual compliance certification. There are 500 respondents in this area source category.
The fifth ty

pe of potential respondents involves owners or operators of an y existing or new lead acid battery

manufacturing facility

that is an area source of HAP emissions. The 60 existing facilities are already subject to or able to meet the emission limits and other requirements of the new source performance standards (NSPS) for lead acid batteries in 40 CFR 60.372 of Subpart KK. The lead acid battery NSPS emission limits are the same as those in this NESHAP. These include numerical emissions limits for grid casting, paste mixing, three

process operation, lead oxide manufacturing, lead reclamation, and other lead emitting processes. This final NESHAP requires control b y fabric filters for the paste mixing, three

- process operation, lead oxide manufacturing , and other lead

- emitting processes and by impingement scrubber for the grid casting and lead reclamation processes. The NESHAP adds the periodic monitoring and semi

- annual inspection of fabric filters and the semi

- annual reporting3

requirements found in s tate permits. The requirements for new area source lead acid battery manufacturing facilities are the same as those for the existing facilities

. Compliance requirements include an initial notification, a notification of compliance status, performance testing if recent test reports are not available, periodic monitoring, semi

- annual inspection of fabric filters, and semi

- annual reporting.
The six th ty

pe of potential respondents involves owners or operators of area source facilities that use either pressure or thermal processes to impregnate chemicals into wood to a depth that will provide effective long

- term resistance to attack by fungi, bacteria , insects, and marine borers . Existing facilities in the wood preserving source category are currently

well controlled in terms of urban metal HAP emissions as a result of a voluntary decision by

the industry to discontinue the consumer uses of chromated copper arsenate (CCA). All sources will be required to submit an initial notification, a notification of compliance status, and a compliance report within 30 day s of a deviation from an y of these prohibitions. No other recordkeeping or reporting requirem ents in the General Provisions apply to facilities in this area source category

. Currently , there are 393 respondents in this area source category

. 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 s LLLLLL, MMMMMM, NNNNNN, OOOOOO, PPPPPP, and QQQQQQ

. In general, all NESHAP standards require initial notifications, performance tests, and periodic reports by

the owner s/operators of the affected facilities. They are also required to maintain records of the occurrence and duration of an y startup, shutdown, or malfunction in the operation of an affected facility , or any period during which the monitoring sy stem is inoper ative. These notifications, reports, and records are essential in determining compliance, and are required of all affected facilities subject to NESHAP. Any owner/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 report s are sent directl y to the U

. S

. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regional office. Based on our consultations with industry representatives, there is an average of one affected facility at each plant site and that each plant site has only one respo ndent (i.e., the owner/operator of the plant site).
Over the next three ye ars, an average of 956 sources per ye ar will be subject to the se standard s , and no additional respondents per year will become subject to the se standard s
. This estimate includes the combined respondents from all six source categories described above. The Office of Management and Budget ( OMB) approved the currentl y active I CR without any

“Terms of Clearance.”4

All of the a cryl ic and modacrylic fibers production, carbon black production, chemical manufacturing: chromium compounds, flexible poly urethane foam production and fabrication, lead acid battery

manufacturing, and wood preserving facilities in the United States are owned and operated b y the a cryl ic and modacrylic fibers production, carbon black production, chemical manufacturing: chromium compounds, flexible poly urethane foam production and fabrication, lead acid battery

manufacturing, and wood preserving industry (the “Affected Public”). None of the facilities in the United States are owned b y either state, or local, or tribal or the Federal government. They

are all privately

- owned , for

- profit businesses. The “burden ” to the “Affected Public” may

be found below in T ables 1a through 1 f : Annual Respondent Burden and Cost

– NESHAP for Area Sources: Acrylic and Modacrylic Fibers Production, Carbon Black Production, Chemical Manufacturing: Chromium Compounds, Flexible Poly urethane Foam Production and Fabrication, L ead Aci d Battery Manufacturing, and Wood Preserving (40 CFR Part 63, Subparts LLLLLL, MMMMMM, NNNNNN, OOOOOO, PPPPPP, and QQQQQQ) (Renewal) . The “burden ” to the “Federal Government” is attributed entirely to work performed by either F ederal emplo yees or government contractors and may be found below in Table s 2a through 2 f

: Average Annual EPA Burden and Cost

– NESHAP for Area Sources: Acrylic and Modacrylic Fibers Production, Carbon Black Production, Chemical Manufacturing: Chromium Compounds, Flexible Polyurethane Foam Production and Fabrication, Lead Acid Battery Manufacturing, and Wood Preserving (40 CFR Part 63, Subparts LLLLLL, MMMMMM, NNNNNN, OOOOOO, PPPPPP, and QQQQQQ) ( Renewal)

. **2. Need for and Use of the Collection 2(a) Ne**  **ed/Authority for the Collection** The EPA is charged under Section 112 of the Clean Air Act, as amended, to establish standards of performance for each category or subcategory

of major sources and area sources of hazardous air pollutants. These standards are applicable to new or existing sources of hazardous air pollutants and shall require the maximum degree of emission reduction. In addition, section 114(a) states that the Administrator may require any

owner/operator subject to any requirement of this Ac t to: (A) Establish and maintain such records; (B) make such reports;

(C) install, use, and maintain such monitoring equipment, and use such audit procedures, or methods; (D) sample such emissions (in accordance with such procedures or methods, at such locations, at such intervals, during such periods, and in such manner as the Administrator shall prescribe); (E) keep records on control equipment parameters, production variables or other indirect data when direct monitoring of emissions is impractical; ( F) submit compliance certifications in accordance with Section 114(a)(3); and (G) provide such other information as the Administrator may reasonabl y require. In the Administrator's judgment, HAP emissions from a cryl ic and modacrylic fibers5

production, car

bon black production, chemical manufacturing: chromium compounds, flexible poly urethane foam production and fabrication, lead acid battery manufacturing, and wood preserving cause or contribute to air pollution that may reasonably

be anticipated to endange r public health or welfare. Therefore, the NESHAP were promulgated for this source category at 40 CFR part 63, subpart s LLLLLL, MMMMMM, NNNNNN, OOOOOO, PPPPPP, and QQQQQQ

. **2(b) Practical Utility/Users of the Data** The recordkeeping and reporting requirements in the standard s ensure compliance with the applicable regulations which where promulgated in accordance with the Clean Air Act. The collected information is also used for targeting inspections and as evidence in legal proceedings.
Performan ce tests are required in order to determine an affected facility ’ s initial capability to comply

with the emission standards. Continuous e mission monitors are used to ensure compliance with the standards at all times. During the performance test , a record o f the operating parameters under which compliance was achieved may be recorded and used to determine compliance in place of a continuous emission monitor. The notifications required in the standards are used to inform the Agency or delegated authority whe n a source becomes subject to the requirements of the regulations. The reviewing authority may then inspect the source to check if the pollution control devices are properl y installed and operated , leaks are being detected and repaired , and the standards are being met. The performance test may also be observed. The required semiannual reports are used to determine periods of excess emissions, identify problems at the facility , verify operation/maintenance procedures and for compliance determinations.
**3. Non** 
**- duplication, Consultations, and Other Collection Criteria**  The requested recordkeeping and reporting are required under 40 CFR part 63, subparts LLLLLL, MMMMMM, NNNNNN, OOOOOO, PPPPPP, and QQQQQQ

. **3(a) Non**
**- duplication**  If the subject standards have not been delegated, the information is sent directl y to the appropriate EPA regional office. Otherwise, the information is sent directl y to the delegated state or local agency . If a state or local agency has adopted its own similar standards to implement the Federal standards, a cop y of the report submitted to the state or local agency can be sent to the Administrator in lieu of the report required by the Federal standards. Therefore, duplication does not exist.6

**3(b) P ublic Notice Required Prior to ICR Submission to OMB**  An announcement of a public comment period for the renewal of this I CR was published in the Federal Register (78 FR 33409) on June 4, 2013. No comments were received on the burden published in the Fede ral Register

. **3(c) Consultations** The Agency ’s industry

experts have been consulted, and the Agency ’s internal data sources and projections of industry growth over the next three years have been considered. The primary

source of information as reported by industry , in compliance with the recordkeeping and reporting provisions in the standard, is the Online Tracking Information Sy stem (OTIS) which is operated and maintained by EPA's Office of Compliance. OTIS is EPA’s database for the collection, maintenance, and retrieval of all compliance data. The growth rate for the industry is based on our consultations with the Agency ’s internal industry experts. Industry trade associations and other interested partie s were provided an opportunity to comment on the burden associated with the se standard s as they were being developed and the se standard s have been reviewed previousl y to determine the minimum information needed for compliance purposes. Indeveloping this I CR, we contacted : 1) the Polyurethane Foam Association (PFA), at (865) 690

- 4648 ; 2) the Flex

- Foam Incorporated , at (602) 252

- 5819 ; 3) the Axion Power Battery , at (724) 654

- 9300 ; and 4) the Treated Wood Council, at (202) 463

- 2045

. It is our policy

to respond after a thorough review of comments received since the last ICR renewal , as well as those submitted in response to the first Federal Register notice. In this case, no comments were received. **3(d) Effects of Less Frequent Collection** Less frequent information collection would decrease the margin of assurance that facilities are continuing to meet the standards. Requirements for information gathering and recordkeeping are useful techniques to ensure that good operation and maintenance practices are applied and emission limitations are met. If the information required by these standards was collected less frequentl y, the proper operation and maintenance of control equipment and the possibility

of detecting violations would be less likel y. **3(e) General Guidelines**
T hese reporting or recordkeeping requirements do not violate any of the regulations promulgated b y OMB under 5 CFR part 1320, section 1320.5. These standards require the respondents to maintain all records, including reports and notifications for at least five years. This is consistent with the General Provisions as applied to the se standards. EPA believes that the five

- ye ar records retention requirement is consistent with7

Part 70 permit program and the five

- ye ar statute of limitations on which the permit program is based. The retention of records for five ye ars allows EPA to establish the compliance history of a source, an y pattern of non

- compliance and to determine the appropriate level of enforcement action. EPA has foun d that the most flagrant violators have violations extending beyond five ye ars. In addition, EPA would be prevented from pursuing the violators due to the destruction or nonexistence of essential records. **3(f) Confidentiality** Any information submitted to the Agency for which a claim of confidentiality is made will be safeguarded according to the Agency policies set forth in Title 40, chapter 1, part 2, subpart B

- Confidentiality of Business Information (CBI) (see 40 CFR 2; 41 FR 36902, September 1, 197 6; amended by 43 FR 40000, September 8, 1978; 43 FR 42251, September 20, 1978; 44 FR 17674, March 23, 1979). **3(g) Sensitive Questions**
T he reporting or recordkeeping requirements in the standard do not include sensitive questions. **4. The Respondents and the Information Requested**  **4(a) Respondents/SIC Codes** The respondents to the recordkeeping and reporting requirements are a cryl ic and modacrylic fibers production, carbon black production, chemical manufacturing: chromium compounds, flexible poly urethane foam production and fabrication, lead acid battery manufacturing, and wood preserving facilities .

Some of the r espondents are using monitoring equipment that automatically records parameter data. Although personnel at the affected facility must still evaluate the data, internal automation has significantly reduced the burden associated with monitoring and recordkeeping at a plant site. Also, regulatory

agencies in cooperation with th e respondents continue to create reporting sy stems to transmit data electronically . However, electronic reporting s ys tems are still not widely used. At this time, it is estimated that no ne of the respon dents use electronic reporting. **(ii) Respondent Activities**

**Respondent Activities** Read instructions.12 **Respondent Activities** Install, calibrate, maintain, and ope rate CMS for opacity , or for pressure drop and liquid supply pressure control devices, bag leak detection sy stem, and air scavenging s ys tems for control device. Perform initial performance test, Reference Method 1, 1A, 2, 2A, 2C, 2D, 2F, 3, 3A, 3B, 5, 5D test, and repeat performance tests if necessary

. Write the notifications and reports listed above. Enter information required to be recorded above. Submit the required reports developing, acquiring, installing, and utilizing technology and sy stems for the purpose of collecting, validating, and verifying information. Develop, acquire, install, and utilize technology and sy stems for the purpose of processing and maintaining information. Develop, acquire, install, and utilize technology and sy stems for the purpose of disclosing and providing information. Train personnel to be able to respond to a collection of information. Transmit, or otherwise disclose the information. Currently sources are using monitoring and reporting equipment that provide parameter data in an automated way ( e.g., continuous parameter monitoring s ys tem ) . Although personnel at the source still need to evaluate the data, this ty pe of monitoring equipm ent has significantl y reduced the burden associated with monitoring and recordkeeping. **5. The Information Collected: Agency Activities, Collection Methodology, and Information Management**  **5(a) Agency Activities** EPA conducts the following activities in connection with the acquisition, analysis, storage, and distribution of the required information.
**Agency Activities** Review notifications and reports, including performance test reports, and excess emissions reports, required to be submitted by industry

. Audit facility

records.13 **Agency Activities** Input, anal yz e, and maintain data in the Online Tracking Information Sy stem (OTI S). **5(b) Collection Methodology and Management** Following notification of startup, the reviewing authority could inspect the source to determine whether the pollution control devices are p roperl y installed and operated. Performance test reports are used b y the Agency to discern a source ’ s initial capability to comp ly with the emission standard, and note the operating conditi ons under which compliance was achieved. Data and records maintained by the respondents are tabulated and published for use in compliance and enforcement programs. The semiannual reports are used for problem identification, as a check on source operation and maintenance, and for compliance determinations.
In formation contained in the reports is entered into OTI S which is operated and maintained by

EPA's Office of Compliance. OT IS is EPA ’ s database for the collection, maintenance, and retrieval of compli ance data for approximately 125,000 industrial and government

- owned facilities. EPA uses the OTI S for tracking air pollution compliance and enforcement b y local and state regulatory agencies, EPA regional offices and EPA headquarters. EPA and its delegat ed Authorities can edit, store, retrieve and analyze the data. The records required b y this regulation must be retained by the owner/operator for five ye ars. **5(c) Small Entity Flexibility** A majority

of the respondents are large entities (i.e., large businesses). However, the impact on small entities (i.e., small businesses) was taken into consideration during the development of the regulation. Due to technical considerations invol ving the process operations and the ty pes of control equipment employed, the recordkeeping and reporting requirements are the same for both small and large entities. The Agency considers these to be the minimum requirements needed to ensure compliance and therefore cannot reduce them further for small entities. To the extent that larger businesses can use economies of scale to reduce their burden, the overall burden will be reduced. **5(d) Collection Schedule** The specific frequency

for each information collection activity within this request is shown below in Tables 1a through 1 f : Annual Respondent Burden and Cost

. These are the costs of recordkeeping. **6(c) Estimating Agency Burden and Cost** The only costs to the Agency

are those costs associated with anal ys is of the reported information. EPA's overall compliance and enforcement program includes activities such as the examination of records maint ained by the respondents, periodic inspection of sources of emissions, and the publication and distrib ution of collected information.
The combined average annual Agency cost during the three ye ars of the ICR is estimated16

to be $ 1, 658

. This cost is based on the average hourl y labor rate as follows: Managerial $ 6 2.27 (GS

- 13, Step 5, $ 3 8. 92 + 60% ) Technical $ 4 6

. 21 (GS

- 12, Step 1, $ 28. 88 + 60% ) Clerical $2 5.01 (GS

- 6, Step 3, $ 15. 63 + 60% ) These rates are from the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) , 20 1 3 General Schedule , which excludes locality , rates of pay

. The rates have been increased b y 60 percent to account for the benefit packages available to government employees

- recentl y approved I CR . The decrease in burde n and cost estimates occurred because the se standard s has been in effect for more than three ye ars and the requirements are different during the initial compliance period as compared to the on - going compliance period . The previous I CR reflected those burdens and costs associated with initial activities such as submitting initial notification reports , conducting performance tests, and establishing SSM plans. This I CR reflects the on

- going burden and costs for existing facilities, including subm ittin g semiannual reports. Note the standard does not impose regular reporting requirements for all subject area source sectors. **6(g) Burden Statement** The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 8 hours per response. “ Burden ” means the total time, effort, or financial resources expended b y 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 s ys tems for the purposes of collecting, validating, and verifying information, processing and maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information; adjust the existing way s to compl y with any previously

applicable instructions and requirements; 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. An agency

may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a20

collection of information unless it displays a valid OMB Control Number. The OMB Control Numbers for EPA regulations are listed at 40 CFR part 9 and 48 CFR chapter 15.
