    Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air 
Pollutants (NESHAP) for the Printing and Publishing Industry (40 CFR 
part 63, subpart KK) apply to both existing facilities and new 
facilities operating: publication rotogravure, product and packaging 
rotogravure, or wide-web flexographic printing presses at major 
sources. These standards also apply to owners and/or operators who 
choose to commit to, and meet the criteria of establishing the facility 
to, be an area source of hazardous air pollutants (HAP). New facilities 
include those that commenced construction or reconstruction after the 
date of proposal. This information is being collected to assure 
compliance with 40 CFR part 63, subpart KK. In general, all NESHAP 
standards require initial notifications, performance tests, and 
periodic reports by the owners/operators of the affected facilities. 
They 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 of all affected facilities 
subject to NESHAP.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Owners and operators of printing and 
publishing facilities.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 63, 
subpart KK).
    Estimated number of respondents: 352 (total).
    Frequency of response: Annually, semiannually.
    Total estimated burden: 59,800 hours (per year). Burden is defined 
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $7,590,000 (per year), which includes 
$414,000 in annualized capital/startup and/or operation & maintenance 
costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is no change in burden from the 
most-recently approved ICR as currently identified in the OMB Inventory 
of Approved Burdens. This is due to two considerations: (1) the 
regulations have not changed over the past three years and are not 
anticipated to change over the next three years; and (2) the growth 
rate for this industry is very low or non-existent, so there is no 
significant change in the overall burden. Since there are no changes in 
the regulatory requirements and there is no significant industry 
growth, there are also no changes in the capital/startup or operation 
and maintenance (O&M) costs.
