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

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has submitted an 
information collection request (ICR), NESHAP for Flexible Polyurethane 
Foam Product (EPA ICR No. 1783.09, OMB Control No. 2060-0357), to the 
Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval in 
accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act. This is a proposed

    Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air 
Pollutants (NESHAP) for Flexible Polyurethane Foam Product (40 CFR part 
63, subpart III) apply to owners or operators of both new and existing 
facilities that engage in the manufacture of flexible polyurethane foam 
products which emit hazardous air pollutants (HAPs). This includes 
facilities making slabstock flexible polyurethane foam (slabstock 
foam), rebond flexible polyurethane foam (rebond foam), and/or molded 
flexible polyurethane foam (molded foam). In general, all NESHAP 
standards require initial notifications, performance tests, and 
periodic reports by the owners/operators of the affected facilities. 
Owners or operators of flexible polyurethane foam production facilities 
to which this rule is applicable must choose one of the compliance 
options described in these standards or reduce HAP emissions to below 
the compliance level. Specifically, the rule requirements for slabstock 
foam producers include an initial notification, notification of 
compliance status, semiannual reports and annual compliance 
certifications. The rule requirements for molded and rebond foam 
producers include a notification of compliance status report and an 
annual compliance certification. These notifications, reports, and 
records are essential in determining compliance with 40 CFR part 63, 
subpart III.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Manufacturers of flexible 
polyurethane foam products.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 63, 
subpart III).
    Estimated number of respondents: 12 (total).
    Frequency of response: Initially, annually, and semiannually.
    Total estimated burden: 869 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 
5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $94,700 (per year), includes which $0 for 
annualized capital/startup and/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. The decrease is not due to any program changes. The 
change in burden hours and number of responses is a result of removing 
burden for reconstructed sources as no

reconstructed sources are expected to occur during this ICR renewal 
period.
