Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval in 
accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.). 
This is a proposed extension of the ICR, which is currently approved 
through March 31, 2016. Public comments were previously requested via 
the Federal Register (80 FR 32116) on June 5, 2015, 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 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 April 20, 
2016.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Supporting documents which explain in detail 
the information that the EPA will be collecting are available in the 
public docket for this ICR. The docket can be viewed online at 
www.regulations.gov or in person at the EPA Docket Center, EPA West, 
Room 3334, 1301 Constitution Ave., NW., Washington, DC. The telephone 
number for the Docket Center is 202-566-1744. For additional 
information about EPA's public docket, visit http://www.epa.gov/dockets.
    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.
