Composites Production (40 CFR part 63, subpart WWWW) (Renewal)'' (EPA

    Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air 
Pollutants (NESHAP) for Reinforced Plastic Composites Production apply 
to existing and new facilities with reinforced plastic composites (RPC) 
production operations and processes. 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 WWWW.
    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.
    Any owner/operator subject to the provisions of this part shall 
maintain a file of these measurements, and retain the file for at least 
five years following the date of 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 United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) 
regional office.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Facilities with RPC production 
operations and processes.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 63, 
subpart WWWW).
    Estimated number of respondents: 600 (total).
    Frequency of response: Initially, occasionally, and semiannually.
    Total estimated burden: 20,900 hours (per year). Burden is defined 
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $2,580,000 (per year), includes $476,000 
annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is an increase in the total 
estimated burden as currently identified in the OMB Inventory of 
Approved Burdens. This increase is not due to any program changes. The 
change in the burden and cost estimates occurred because the total 
number of respondents has increased, after accounting for anticipated 
industry growth over three years. The increase in O&M costs is due to 
the inclusion of the MACT compliance standard for SMC enclosure for one 
large facility, based on comment received from industry consultation.
