Approval; Comment Request; NESHAP for Flexible Polyurethane Foam 
Fabrication (Renewal)

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency has submitted an 
information collection request (ICR), ``NESHAP for Flexible 
Polyurethane Foam Fabrication (40 CFR part 63, subpart MMMMM) 
(Renewal)'' (EPA ICR No. 2027.06, OMB Control No. 2060-0516, to the 
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval in 
accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.).

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 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.

DATES: Additional comments may be submitted on or before October 15, 
2015.

    Abstract: The affected entities are subject to the General 
Provisions of the NESHAP (40 CFR part 63, subpart A), and any changes, 
or additions to the Provisions specified at 40 CFR part 63, subpart 
MMMMM. Owners or operators of the affected facilities must submit 
initial notification reports, performance tests, and periodic reports 
and results. Owners or operators 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.
    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: 17 (total).
    Frequency of response: Initially, occasionally, semiannually, and 
annually.
    Total estimated burden: 18,900 hours (per year). Burden is defined 
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $1,930,000 (per year), including $29,500 in 
annualized capital/startup and/or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is an increase in the total 
estimated respondent burden as currently identified in the OMB 
Inventory of Approved Burdens. This burden increase is due to 
adjustments EPA has made to account for industry growth that has 
occurred since the ICR was last approved. EPA has also updated 
corresponding labor costs to reflect current rates referenced from the 
Bureau of Labor Statistics. EPA has similarly adjusted the Agency labor 
burden to reflect industry growth over the past three years and has 
updated labor costs to reflect rates referenced from the Office of 
Personnel Management.
    There is an increase in the total annual O&M cost as compared to 
the previous ICR. The previous ICR's estimate only reflected those 
costs associated with new sources. The resulting omission of O&M costs 
also incurred by existing sources resulted in a significant 
underestimation of the total cost; therefore, EPA has both reconciled 
the noted discrepancy and increased the total annual O&M cost 
accordingly.
