    Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air 
Pollutants (NESHAP) for Chemical Recovery Combustion Sources at Kraft, 
Soda, Sulfite, and Stand-Alone Semichemical Pulp Mills apply to new and 
existing chemical recovery combustion sources at kraft, soda, sulfite, 
and stand-alone semichemical pulp mills, for which the chemical 
recovery combustion sources emit greater than or equal to 10 tons per 
year (tpy) of any one hazardous air pollutant (HAP) or greater than or 
equal to 25 tpy of any combination of HAPs. 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 any failures to meet 
applicable standards, 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 40 CFR part 63, subpart MM.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Chemical recovery combustion sources 
at kraft, soda, sulfite, and stand-alone semichemical pulp mills.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 63, 
subpart MM).
    Estimated number of respondents: 107 (total).
    Frequency of response: Initially, occasionally, and semiannually.
    Total estimated burden: 122,000 hours (per year). Burden is defined 
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $14,700,000 (per year), which includes 
$831,000 in annualized capital/startup and/or operation & maintenance 
costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is decrease in the total estimated 
respondent burden compared with the ICR currently approved by OMB. This 
ICR includes a more accurate estimate of the number of new respondents 
based on EPA's recent consultations with industry trade groups, which 
indicated that one new facility will start up in the third year of this 
information collection, in addition to the one new respondent per year 
that is an existing facility constructing new process units. This ICR 
also updates the burden associated with the October 11, 2017 RTR 
amendments, including removing first-year costs associated with the 
amendments, and accounting for the remaining one-time burden for 
facilities that applies through October 2020.
