Production (40 CFR part 63, subpart S) (Renewal)'' (EPA ICR No.

    Abstract: Respondents are owners or operators of facilities that 
produce pulp, paper, or paperboard by employing kraft, soda, sulfite, 
semi-chemical, or mechanical pulping processes using wood; or any 
process using secondary or non-wood fiber and that emits 10 tons per 
year or more of any hazardous air pollutant (HAP) or 25 tons per year 
or more of any combination of HAPs. Affected sources are all the 
hazardous air pollutant emission points or the HAP emission points in 
the pulping and bleaching system for mechanical pulping processes using 
wood and any process using secondary or non-wood fiber.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Owners and operators of pulp and 
paper mills that are major sources of HAP emissions.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 63, 
subpart S).
    Estimated number of respondents: 114 (total).
    Frequency of response: Initially, occasionally, and semiannually.
    Total estimated burden: 44,438 hours (per year). Burden is defined 
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $5,191,626 (per year), includes $841,000 
annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is an adjustment decrease in the 
total estimated burden as currently identified in the OMB Inventory of 
Approved Burdens. This decrease is not due to any program changes. The 
currently approved burden estimates contain requirements from the 
previous regulation as well as duplicate burden activities. In 
preparing this ICR renewal, EPA has removed duplicate items and updated 
the ICR so that it only reflects current requirements. This results in 
an apparent decrease in burden.
