*Title:*                     NESHAP for Carbon Black, Ethylene, Cyanide, and Spandex (Renewal).                 

*ICR Numbers:*                     EPA ICR Number 1983.05, OMB Control Number 2060-0489.                 

*ICR Status:*                     This ICR is scheduled to expire on November 30, 2008. 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:*                     All existing sources must be in compliance with the requirements of the Generic Maximum Achievable Control Technology (MACT) National Emissions Standard for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) within three years of the effective date (promulgation date) of standards for an affected source. All new sources must be in compliance with the requirements of the Generic MACT (GMACT) NESHAP upon startup or prior to the promulgation date of standards for an affected source, whichever is later. These standards apply to hazardous air pollutant (HAP) emission sources in the carbon black production, cyanide chemicals manufacturing, ethylene production, and spandex production source categories.                 

Compliance is assumed through initial performance testing or design analysis, as appropriate, and ongoing compliance is demonstrated through parametric monitoring. The facilities are subject to the major source provisions specified under the GMACT NESHAP. 

*Burden Statement:*                     The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 90 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:*                     Facilities that manufacture carbon black, cyanide chemicals, ethylene, and spandex.                 

*Estimated Number of Respondents:*                     72.                 

*Frequency of Response:*                     Occasionally, semiannually and annually.                 

*Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:*                     13,533                 

*Estimated Total Annual Cost:*                     $1,439,214, which is comprised of Operations & Management (O&M) costs of $359,065, labor costs of $1,080,149, and no annualized capital/start-up costs.                 

*Changes in the Estimates:*                     There is no change in the total estimated burden currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR Burdens.
