SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Affected entities: Entities potentially

affected by this action are wood

furniture manufacturing operations.

Title: 40 CFR parts 9 and 63, Final

Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutant

Emissions From Wood Furniture

Manufacturing Operations; 40 CFR part

63, subpart JJ, §§ 63.800 through 63.819.

OMB Control Number: 2060–0324.

Expiration Date: February 10, 1998.

Abstract: Information is supplied to

the Agency under the applicable rule by

owners and operators of new and

existing wood furniture manufacturing

operations that are major sources of

hazardous air pollutants (HAPs). An

estimated 750 of the 11,000 existing

wood furniture manufacturers are major

HAP emitters.

The respondents are required by 40

CFR part 63, subparts A (General

Provisions) and JJ (source-specific

provisions) to submit periodic reports

and perform various recordkeeping

activities to enable the Administrator to:

(i) Identify new, modified,

reconstructed and existing sources

subject to the standard, and

(ii) Ensure that the standards, which

are based on maximum achievable

control technology, are being met.

The reporting requirements of the

standard include; (1) Submission of an

application requesting approval for

construction/reconstruction; (2)

notification of start-up, construction and

reconstruction; (3) notification of

physical/operational changes; (4) sitespecific performance and CMS

performance evaluation test plans; (5)

notification and reporting of

performance and CMS tests/results; (6)

a semi-annual compliance report; (7)

work practice standards implementation

plan reports; (8) notification to the

Agency of rule applicability; and (9)

notification and reporting of compliance

status.

The recordkeeping requirements of

the rule include: (1) Five-year

maintenance and retention of records;

(2) records of startups, shutdowns, and

malfunctions; (3) records required as

part of the work practice

implementation plan; (4) continuous

monitoring system (CMS) data records;

(5) records of the types and quantities of
Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 160 / Tuesday, August 19, 1997 / Notices 44123

finishing, cleaning materials and

adhesives used; (6) monthly weighted

average emission calculations; (7)

documentation of area source status, if

claimed; and (8) records of performance

and CMS tests.

Most recordkeeping and reporting

provisions of the rule consist of

emissions-related data and other

information not considered confidential.

However, the confidentiality of certain

information obtained by the Agency is

safeguarded according to Agency

policies set forth in title 40, chapter I,

part 2, subpart B—Confidentiality of

Business Information (see 40 CFR part 2;

41 FR 36902, September 1, 1976:

amended by 43 FR 3999, September 8,

1978; 43 FR 42251, September 20, 1987;

44 FR 17674, March 23, 1979).

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 the Agency’s regulations

are listed in 40 CFR part 9.

The Agency would like to solicit

comments to:

(i) Evaluate whether the proposed

collection of information is necessary

for the proper performance of the

functions of the agency, including

whether the information will have

practical utility;

(ii) Evaluate the accuracy of the

agency’s estimate of the burden of the

proposed collection of information,

including the validity of the

methodology and assumptions used;

(iii) Enhance the quality, utility, and

clarity of the information to be

collected; and

(iv) Minimize the burden of the

collection of information on those who

are to respond, including through the

use of appropriate automated electronic,

mechanical, or other technological

collection techniques or other forms of

information technology, e.g., permitting

electronic submission of responses.

Burden Statement: The previous ICR,

approved for use through February 10,

1998, indicates an average annual

person-hours burden, during the first

three years of rule implementation, of

140,603 person-hours. However, it

should be recognized that the burden

costs the first year of operation under

the rule are somewhat different than the

burden costs to maintain compliance

with the rule year-after-year. As

explained below, the first year burden

costs include certain initial, one-timeonly, reporting costs plus the same

recordkeeping burden costs as the

second and third year. The second and

third year reporting burden costs

include recurring costs associated with

subsequent years of operation (in

addition to the same recordkeeping

costs incurred the first year of

operation). By adding the annual

person-hour figures for the first three

years of operation and dividing by three,

an average annual person-hour figure of

140,603 is computed.

The initial reporting costs unique to

the first year of operation include: (1)

8,835 technical person-hours, 442

management person-hours, and 884

clerical person-hours to report on the

various initial performance and CMS

tests required to determine the capture/

control equipment efficiencies; (2)

45,000 technical person-hours, 2,250

management person-hours, and 4,500

clerical person-hours to develop a work

practice implementation manual; (3)

1,532 technical person-hours, 77

management person-hours, and 153

clerical person-hours to notify the

Agency of rule applicability to their

manufacturing and to report on the

initial performance/CMS test results;

and (4) 640 technical person-hours, 36

management person-hours, and 64

clerical person-hours to develop startup,

shutdown, malfunctions, and CMS

quality control plans. The first year

reporting costs also include: (1) 750

technical person-hours, 38 management

person-hours, and 75 clerical personhours to read instructions, and (2) 1,654

technical person-hours, 84 management

person-hours, and 166 clerical personhours to notify the Agency of any

construction, reconstruction, physical,

operational change, or actual startup,

and to provide excess emissions reports

as required.

Reporting burdens after the first year

of operation include: (1) 152 technical

person-hours, 8 management personhours, 15 clerical person-hours for

subsequent construction/reconstruction

application and approval; (2) 750

technical person-hours, 38 management

person-hours, and 75 clerical personhours to read instructions; (3) 7,526

technical person-hours, 378

management person-hours, and 753

clerical person-hours to notify the

Agency of any construction,

reconstruction, physical, operational

change, or actual startup, and to provide

compliance status and excess emissions

reports as required; and (4) 58,500

technical person-hours, 2,925

management person-hours, and 5,850

clerical person-hours to maintain lists of

the types and quantities of volatile HAP

materials used.

Recordkeeping burdens during the

first year of operation and each year

thereafter are the same and include the

following: (1) An estimated 30,000

technical person-hours; 1,500

management person-hours and 3,000

clerical person-hours to develop

recordkeeping systems; (2) a total of

4,272 technical person-hours; 213

management person-hours and 427

clerical person-hours to record startup,

shutdown, malfunction information,

document completion of operator

training courses, compile records of

CMS parameters and the types/

quantities of volatile HAP materials

used; (3) a total of 24,000 technical

person-hours; 1,200 management

person-hours and 2,400 clerical personhours to train in-plant personnel to

various surfacing coating and control

equipment in compliance with the rule.

To compute the annual cost burden in

dollars expended, the technical personhours were multiplied by an hourly rate

of $33, the management person-hours

were multiplied by an hourly rate of $49

per hour, and the clerical person-hours

multiplied by $15 per hour. Using these

hourly rates an average annual dollar

cost figure is $4,517,642.

As described above, the burden

estimates include the time needed to

review instructions; develop, acquire,

install, and utilize technology and

systems for the purposes of collecting,

validating, and verifying information,

processing and maintaining

information, and disclosing and

providing information; adjust the

existing ways to comply 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.
