PAPERWORK REDUCTION ACT SUBMISSION WORKSHEET

PART I: Information Collection Request

This worksheet replaces the previous OMB 83-I form for Information
Collection Requests (ICRs).  This worksheet is intended to help ICR
preparers transition between the paper 83-I system and use of the
RISC/OIRA Consolidated Information System (ROCIS) ICR Module for
submitting ICRs to OMB/OIRA.  This form is not intended for submission
to OMB.  For additional guidance on completing this worksheet please
consult the two OMB guidance documents: ROCIS How To Guide for Agency
Users of the ICR Module and ROCIS IC Q&A, located at:   HYPERLINK
"http://intranet.epa.gov/icrintra/download" 
http://intranet.epa.gov/icrintra/download . In addition, please
reference OEI’s ROCIS instructions at:   HYPERLINK
"http://intranet.epa.gov/icrintra/download" 
http://intranet.epa.gov/icrintra/download  or visit EPA’s ICR webpage 
 HYPERLINK "http://intranet.epa.gov/icrintra/" 
http://intranet.epa.gov/icrintra/  and contact your appropriate ICR desk
officer.

10. Abstract (4000 characters maximum, attach additional sheets as
necessary):   FORMTEXT  EPA is proposing six national emission standards
for hazardous air pollutants (NESHAP) for seven area source categories. 
The proposed requirements for two area source categories (Flexible
Polyurethane Foam Production and Flexible Polyurethane Foam Fabrication)
are combined in one subpart.  The proposed standards include emissions
limitations and work practice requirements for new and existing plants
based on the generally available control technology or management
practices  (GACT) for each area source category.  Potential respondents
include one existing acrylic and modacrylic production facility, one
existing carbon black production area source, two existing chromium
product manufacturing facilities, 500 existing flexible polyurethane
foam production and fabrication facilities, 58 existing lead acid
battery manufacturing facilities, and 393 existing wood preserving
facilities.  The total annual responses attributable to this ICR for
existing sources are two one-time notifications; some existing
facilities may be required to prepare a startup, shutdown, and
malfunction plan and/or conduct an initial performance test.  The owner
or operator of a new area source would be required to comply with all
requirements of the General Provisions (40 CFR part 63, subpart A).  No
burden estimates are provided for new  area sources because no new
facilities are expected during the next 3 years.
