Information Collection Request Submitted to OMB for Review and 
Approval; Comment Request; NESHAP for Reinforced Plastic Composites 
Production (Renewal)

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has submitted an 
information collection request (ICR), NESHAP for Reinforced Plastic 
Composites Production (EPA ICR No. 1976.07, OMB Control No. 2060-0509), 
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-2014-0081, to: (1) EPA online using www.regulations.gov (our

    Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air 
Pollutants (NESHAP) for Reinforced Plastic Composites (RPC) Production 
(40 CFR part 63, subpart WWWW) apply to both existing facilities 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.
    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 with 40 CFR part 63, 
subpart WWWW.
    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: 448 (total).
    Frequency of response: Initially, occasionally, and semiannually.
    Total estimated burden: 14,800 hours (per year). Burden is defined 
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $2,160,000 (per year), which includes 
$468,000 annualized capital/startup and/or operation & maintenance 
costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: The decrease in burden from the most-
recently approved ICR is not due to any program changes. The change in 
the burden and cost estimates occurred because the total number of 
respondents has decreased due to consolidation within the industry, and 
no new respondents are anticipated over the next three years of this 
ICR. The decrease in the number of existing and new respondents also 
results in a reduced number of total annual responses; this ICR reduces 
the number of responses associated with submittal of exceedance reports 
from existing respondents and excludes responses associated with the 
submittal of initial notifications or performance test plans or results 
that were previously only required from new respondents. Additionally, 
there is a decrease in the Agency burden as this ICR removes the burden 
associated with review of submitted initial notifications and materials 
related to performance tests, which are only applicable to new 
respondents. There is also an adjustment decrease in the capital/
startup and O&M costs due to the reduced number of respondents.
