    Abstract: The affected entities are subject to the General 
Provisions of the NESHAP at 40 CFR part 63, subpart A, and any changes, 
or additions to the Provisions specified at 40 CFR part 63, subpart 
FFFF. Owners or operators of the affected facilities must submit a one-
time-only report of any physical or operational changes, initial 
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. Reports are also required semiannually.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Miscellaneous organic chemical 
manufacturing facilities.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 63, 
subpart FFFF).
    Estimated number of respondents: 269 (total).
    Frequency of response: Initially and semiannually.
    Total estimated burden: 436,000 hours (per year). Burden is defined 
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $49,700,000 (per year), includes $5,750,000 
annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is an increase in burden in this 
ICR from the most recently approved ICR. This is due

[[Page 15105]]

to an increase in the estimated number of respondents subject to the 
rule. Based on the Agency's projected industry growth rate, we assume 
the number of sources will continue to grow at a rate of two new 
sources per year. This results in an increase in the respondent labor 
hours, number of responses, and total O&M costs.

Acting Director, Collection Strategies Division.
