    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 Provisions specified at 40 CFR part 61, subpart F. 
Owners or operators of the affected facilities must submit a one-time-
only notification report of any physical or operational changes, 
initial performance tests, and periodic reports and results. Owners or 
operators are

[[Page 36055]]

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 are required quarterly at a minimum.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Owners or operators of vinyl 
chloride production facilities.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 61, 
subpart F).
    Estimated number of respondents: 18 (total).
    Frequency of response: Initially, quarterly, and occasionally.
    Total estimated burden: 7,603 hours (per year). Burden is defined 
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $1,553,615 (per year), includes $810,000 
annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is a decrease of 4,223 hours in the 
total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently 
approved by OMB as a result of the PVC NESHAP standard at 40 CFR part 
63, subpart HHHHHHH. Beginning in April 17, 2015, 12 of the existing 
vinyl chloride plants will comply with the part 63 rule, and will no 
longer be subject to the part 61 NESHAP. Therefore, we expect a 
decrease in the number of respondents beginning in Year 2 of this ICR 
period. In addition, we have updated the number of existing sources 
from 28 in the previous ICR to 26 based on latest Agency estimates for 
this industry.

Acting Director, Collection Strategies Division.
