    Title: NESHAP for Vinyl Chloride (Renewal).
    ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 0186.12, OMB Control Number 2060-0071.
    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, are 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 affected entities are subject to the General 
Provisions of the NESHAP at 40 CFR part 61, subpart A, and any changes, 
or additions to the General Provisions specified at 40 CFR part 61, 
subpart F.
    Owners or operators of the affected facilities must submit a one-
time-only report of any physical or operational changes, initial 
performance tests, and periodic reports and results. Owners or 
operators are also required to maintain records of the occurrence and 
duration of any startup, shutdown, or malfunction in the operation of 
an affected facility, or any period during which the monitoring system 
is inoperative. Reports, at a minimum, are required quarterly.
    Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping 
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 60 
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 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 which 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: Owners or operators of vinyl 
chloride production facilities.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 28.
    Frequency of Response: Initially, quarterly and on-occasion.
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 11,826.
    Estimated Total Annual Cost: $2,369,531, which includes $1,109,531 
in labor costs, no capital/startup costs and $1,260,000 in operation 
and maintenance (O&M) costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is no change in the total estimated 
burden currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR 
Burdens. This is due to two considerations. First, the regulations have 
not changed over the past three years and are not anticipated to change 
over the next three years. Secondly, the growth rate for the 
respondents is very low, negative, or non-existent. It should be noted 
that there is an apparent increase of one hour in respondent labor 
hours. This is due to the retention of decimal places in the Table 1 
calculations and final rounding.
    The capital/startup and operation and maintenance costs remain the 
same. The increase in cost to respondents is due to updating of the 
labor rates to reflect the most recent available estimates.

Director, Collection Strategies Division.
