information that the EPA will be collecting are available in the public

    Abstract: The affected entities are subject to the General 
Provisions of the NESHAP (40 CFR part 63, subpart A), and any changes 
or additions to the General Provisions are specified at 40 CFR part 63, 
subpart PPP. Owners or operators of the affected facilities must submit 
initial notification, 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, at a minimum, are required 
semiannually.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Polyether polyols production 
facilities.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 63, 
subpart PPP).
    Estimated number of respondents: 23 (total).
    Frequency of response: Initially, occasionally and semiannually.
    Total estimated burden: 3,710 hours (per year). Burden is defined 
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $383,000 (per year), and does not include any 
annualized capital/startup or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is a small increase in labor hours 
in this ICR compared to the previous ICR. This is due to the removal of 
affirmative defense and the addition of a one-hour estimate associated 
with re-familiarization of the regulatory requirements for each 
regulated source. There is also a decrease in the total capital and O&M 
costs. Since all existing sources are expected to be compliant with any 
initial requirements

[[Page 28656]]

of the 2014 rule, the estimated capital cost has decreased since the 
last ICR.
