# SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

*Title:*                     NESHAP Subpart S, Pulp and Paper Industry, OMB Control No. 2060-0377; EPA ICR No. 1805.02, expiring 12/31/2000. This is a request for extension of a currently approved collection.                 

*Abstract:*                     This NESHAP standard requires initial notification, performance tests, and periodic reports. 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. These notifications, reports, and records are essential in determining compliance and are required, in general, of all sources subject to NESHAP.                 

                    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 5 years following the date of such measurements, maintain 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 S as authorized in sections 112 and 114(a) of the Clean Air Act. The required information consists of emissions data and other information that have been determined not 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 numbers for EPA's regulations are listed in 40 CFR part 9 and 48 CFR Chapter 15. The                     **Federal Register**                     document required under 5 CFR 1320.8(d), soliciting comments on this collection of information, was published on April 18, 2000. No comments were received. Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 463 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 requirement; 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 and Operators of Pulp and Paper Mills.                 

*Estimated Number of Responses:*                     158.                

*Frequency of Response:*                     2.
