    Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air 
Pollutants (NESHAP) for the regulations published at 40 CFR part 63, 
subpart U were proposed on June 12, 1995, promulgated on September 5, 
1996, and amended on June 19, 2000, July 16, 2001, December 16, 2008, 
and April 21, 2011. These regulations apply to existing and new 
elastomer product process units (EPPU) and associated equipment 
including waste management units, maintenance wastewater, heat exchange 
systems, and equipment required by or utilized to comply with this 
Subpart located at facilities that are major sources of hazardous air 
pollutants (HAPs) and are classified in the Group I Polymers and Resins 
source category. The Group I Polymers and Resins source category 
includes the following categories: Butyl Rubber Production, 
Epichlorohydrin Elastomers Production, Ethylene Propylene Rubber 
Production, Hypalon Production, Neoprene Production, Nitrile Butadiene 
Rubber (NBR) Production, Polybutadiene Rubber Production, Polysulfide 
Rubber Production, and Styrene Butadiene Rubber and Latex Production. 
New facilities include those that commenced construction, or 
reconstruction after the date of proposal. This ICR combines burden 
from the 2011 amendment with the burden associated with the existing 
provisions of the rule. In general, all NESHAP standards require 
initial notifications, performance tests, and periodic reports by the 
owners/operators of the affected facilities. They 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. These 
notifications, reports, and records are essential in determining 
compliance, and are required of all affected facilities subject to 
NESHAP. Any owner/operator subject to the provisions of this part shall 
maintain a file containing these documents, and retain the file for at 
least five years following the generation date of such maintenance 
reports and records. All reports are sent to the delegated state or 
local authority. In the event that there is no such delegated 
authority, the reports are sent directly to the United States 
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regional office.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Facilities with elastomer product 
process units and associated equipment.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 63, 
subpart U).
    Estimated number of respondents: 19 (total).
    Frequency of response: Initially, occasionally, and semiannually.
    Total estimated burden: 56,400 hours (per year). Burden is defined 
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $11,200,000 (per year), includes $5,230,000 
annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is an adjustment increase in the 
total estimated burden, labor costs, and capital and O&M costs as 
currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved Burdens. This 
increase is not due to any program changes. The change in the burden 
and cost estimates occurred because the previously approved ICR only 
covered the burden and costs associated with the 2011 amendment. This 
ICR combines the burden from both the 2011 amendment and the pre-2011 
provisions of the rule.
