Title: NESHAP for Leather Finishing 

Operations (Renewal). 

ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 

1985.05, OMB Control Number 2060– 

0478. 

ICR Status: This ICR is schedule to 

expire on November 30, 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, and 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 National Emission 

Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants 

(NESHAP) for Leather Finishing 

Operations were proposed on October 2, 

2000 (65 FR 58702), and promulgated 

on February 27, 2002. These standards 

apply to any existing, reconstructed, or 

new leather finishing operations. A 

leather finishing operation is a single 

process or group of processes used to 

adjust and improve the physical and 

aesthetic characteristics of the leather 

surface through multistage application 

of a coating comprising of dyes, 

pigments, film-forming materials, and 

performance modifiers dissolved or 

suspended in liquid carriers. A leather 

finishing operation is subject to the 

regulation only if it is a major source of 

hazardous air pollutant (HAP) emitting, 

or has the potential to emit, any single 

HAP at the rate of 10 tons (9.07 

megagrams) or more per year, or any 

combination of HAP at the rate of 25 

tons (22.68 megagrams) or more per 

year. 

Owners and operators must submit 

notification reports upon the 

construction or reconstruction of any 

leather finishing operation. Any leather 

finishing operation that starts up after 

proposal, but before promulgation, must 

submit an initial notification similar to 

the one submitted by existing sources. 

Each new or reconstructed source that 

starts up after promulgation must 

submit a series of notifications in 

addition to the initial notification that 

includes notification of intent to 

construct or reconstruct, and 

notification of startup. Upon the 

collection of twelve months of data after 

the date of initial notification, owners or 

operators of leather finishing operations 

must submit an annual compliance 

status certification report and, 

thereafter, annually. 

Owners or operators of a leather 

finishing operation subject to the rule 

must maintain a file of these 

measurements, and retain the file for at 

least five years following the date of 


Emcdonald on DSK5VPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
58266 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 182 / Tuesday, September 20, 2011 / Notices 

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 reports are sent 

directly to the EPA regional office. This 

information is being collected to assure 

compliance with 40 CFR part 63, 

subpart TTTT, and 40 CFR part 63, 

subpart A, 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 to be private. 

Burden Statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information estimated 

to average 33 hours per response. 

Burden means the total time, effort, or 

financial resources expended by persons 

to generate, maintain, retain, or disclose 

and 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. All existing 

ways will have to adjust to comply with 

any previously applicable instructions 

and requirements that 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: 

Leather finishing operations. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

10. 

Frequency of Response: Initially, 

occasionally, and annually. 

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 

334. 

Estimated Total Annual Cost: 

$31,495.00, inclusion of labor costs. 

There are no capital/startup costs, and 

no operation and maintenance (O&M) 

costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is no 

change in the labor hours in this ICR as 

compared to the Previous ICR. This 

situation is due to two considerations: 

(1) the regulations have not changed 

over the past three years and not 

anticipated to change over the next 

three years; and (2) the growth rate for 

the industry is very low, negative, or 

non-existent, so there is no significant 

change in the overall burden. There is, 

however, an increase in the estimated 

burden cost as currently identified in 

the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR 

Burdens. The increase is not due to any 

program changes. The change in burden 

cost is due to the use of the most 

updated labor rates.
