    Abstract: The affected entities are subject to the General 
Provisions of the NESHAP (40 CFR part 61, subpart A), and to the 
Provisions at 40 CFR part 61, subparts L and Y. 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 required quarterly or semiannually at a minimum.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Owners or operators of benzene 
storage vessels and coke oven by-product recovery plants.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 61, 
subparts L and Y).
    Estimated number of respondents: 21 (total).
    Frequency of response: Occasionally, semiannually, and annually.

[[Page 16035]]

    Total estimated burden: 3,220 hours (per year). Burden is defined 
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $332,000 (per year), which includes no 
annualized capital/startup or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is a small adjustment increase in 
the respondent labor hours in this ICR compared to the previous ICR. 
The increase is due to a change in Agency assumption in calculating 
labor hours; this ICR assumes all sources will take time to re-
familiarize with the regulation each year. This results in a small 
overall increase in burden.
