ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

[EPA-HQ-OECA-2014-0086; FRL-9990-10-OEI]

Information Collection Request Submitted to OMB for Review and 
Approval; Comment Request; NESHAP for Flexible Polyurethane Foam 
Fabrication (Renewal)

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has submitted an 
information collection request (ICR), NESHAP for Flexible Polyurethane 
Foam Fabrication (EPA ICR No. 2027.07, OMB Control No. 2060-0516), to 
the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval in 
accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act. This is a proposed 
extension of the ICR, which is currently approved through March 31, 
2019. Public comments were previously requested, via the Federal 
Register, on May 30, 2018 during a 60-day comment period. This notice 
allows for an additional 30 days for public comments. A fuller 
description of the ICR is given below, including its estimated burden 
and cost to the public. An agency may neither conduct nor sponsor, and 
a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information 
unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number.

DATES: Additional comments may be submitted on or before April 17, 
2019.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, referencing Docket ID Number EPA-HQ-
OECA-2014-0086, to: (1) EPA online using www.regulations.gov (our

    Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air 
Pollutants (NESHAP) for Integrated Iron and Steel Manufacturing 
Facilities (40 CFR part 63, subpart FFFFF) apply to new and existing 
sinter plants, blast furnaces, and basic oxygen process furnace shops 
at integrated iron and steel manufacturing facilities that are major 
sources of hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) or are co-located at major 
sources. New facilities include those that commenced either 
construction or reconstruction after the date of proposal. 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. This information is being 
collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 63, subpart FFFFF.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Flexible polyurethane foam 
fabrication facilities.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 63, 
subpart MMMMM).
    Estimated number of respondents: 20 (total).
    Frequency of response: Initially, occasionally, semiannually, and 
annually.
    Total estimated burden: 22,200 hours (per year). Burden is defined 
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $2,560,000 (per year), which includes $34,500 
in annualized capital/startup and/or operation & maintenance costs.

    Changes in the Estimates: There is an increase in the total 
estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently approved by 
OMB. The increase in burden is not due to any program changes, but is 
due to an adjustment. The adjustment increase in burden from the most-
recently approved ICR is due to an increase in the number of new or 
modified sources due to continued industry growth. In addition, the 
burden estimate for reading and understanding the rule requirements was 
adjusted to reflect the time it would take existing respondents to 
review the rule each year. The overall result is an increase in burden 
and costs.
