    Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air 
Pollutants (NESHAP) for the Generic Maximum Achievable Control 
Technology (GMACT) Standards published at (40 CFR part 63, subpart YY) 
apply to existing and new carbon black (CB), cyanide (CY), ethylene 
(ET), and spandex (SP) facilities that would be subject to the major 
source provisions specified under the GMACT NESHAP. New facilities 
include those that commenced construction or reconstruction after the 
date of proposal. 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.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Carbon black production, cyanide 
production, ethylene production, and spandex production facilities.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 63, 
subpart YY).
    Estimated number of respondents: 61 (total).
    Frequency of response: Initially, occasionally, and semiannually.
    Total estimated burden: 41,800 hours (per year). Burden is defined 
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $4,930,000 (per year), which includes 
$351,000 in annualized capital/startup and/or operation and maintenance 
costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is an increase of 61 hours in the 
total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently 
approved by OMB. The adjustment increase in burden from the most-
recently approved ICR is the addition of burden hours to account for 
the time spent by existing facilities to re-familiarize themselves 
annually with the rule requirements.

Director, Regulatory Support Division.
