Proposed Information Collection Request; Comment Request; NESHAP 
for Pulp and Paper Production (Renewal)

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is planning to 
submit an information collection request (ICR), NESHAP for Pulp and 
Paper Production (EPA ICR Number 1657.08, OMB Control Number 2060-
0387), to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and 
approval in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act. Before doing 
so, EPA is soliciting public comments on specific aspects of the 
proposed information collection as described below. This is a proposed 
extension of the ICR. 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: Comments must be submitted on or before December 14, 2018.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, referencing Docket ID Number EPA-OECA-
2014-0054, online using www.regulations.gov (our preferred method), or 
by mail to: EPA Docket Center, Environmental Protection Agency, Mail 
Code 28221T, 1200 Pennsylvania Ave. NW, Washington, DC 20460.
    EPA's policy is that all comments received will be included in the 
public docket without change including any personal information 
provided, unless the comment includes profanity, threats, information 
claimed to be Confidential Business Information (CBI) or other 
information whose disclosure is restricted by statute.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Patrick Yellin, Office of Enforcement 
and Compliance Assistance, Mail Code 2227A, Environmental Protection 
Agency, 1200 Pennsylvania Ave. NW, Washington, DC 20460; telephone 
number: 202-564-2970; fax number: 202-564-0050; email address: 
[email protected].

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, WJC 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.
    Pursuant to section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA, EPA is soliciting 
comments and information to enable it to: (i) Evaluate whether the 
proposed collection of information is necessary for the proper 
performance of the functions of the Agency, including whether the 
information will have practical utility; (ii) evaluate the accuracy of 
the Agency's estimate of the burden of the proposed collection of 
information, including the validity of the methodology and assumptions 
used; (iii) enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the 
information to be collected; and (iv) minimize the burden of the 
collection of information on those who are to respond, including 
through the use of appropriate automated electronic, mechanical, or 
other technological collection techniques or other forms of information 
technology, e.g., permitting electronic submission of responses. EPA 
will consider the comments received and amend the ICR as appropriate. 
The final ICR package will then be submitted to OMB for review and 
approval. At that time, EPA will issue another Federal Register notice 
to announce the submission of the ICR to OMB and the opportunity to 
submit additional comments to OMB.
    Abstract: Respondents are owners or operators of facilities that 
produce pulp, paper, or paperboard by employing kraft, soda, sulfite, 
semi-chemical, or mechanical pulping processes using wood; or any 
process using secondary or non-wood fiber and that emits 10 tons per 
year or more of any hazardous air pollutant or 25 tons per year or more 
of any combination of hazardous air pollutants. Affected sources are 
all the hazardous air pollutant emission points or the HAP emission 
points in the pulping and bleaching system for mechanical pulping 
processes using wood and any process using secondary or non-wood fiber.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Owners or operators of pulp and 
paper production facilities. Respondent's obligation to respond: 
Mandatory (40 CFR part 63, subpart S).
    Estimated number of respondents: 114 (total).
    Frequency of response: Initially, occasionally, quarterly, and 
semiannually.
    Total estimated burden: 44,438 hours (per year). Burden is defined 
at 5 CFR 1320.03(b).
    Total estimated cost: $5,191,626 (per year), includes $841,000 in 
annualized capital or operations and maintenance costs.
    Changes in Estimates: There is an adjustment decrease in the total 
estimated burden as currently identified in the OMB Inventory of 
Approved Burdens. This decrease is not due to any program changes. The 
currently approved burden estimates contain requirements from the 
previous regulation as well as duplicate burden activities. In 
preparing this ICR renewal, EPA has removed duplicate items and updated 
the ICR so that it only reflects current requirements. This results in 
an apparent decrease in burden.

Director, Regulatory Support Division.
