    Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air 
Pollutants (NESHAP) for Vinyl Chloride (40 CFR part 61, subpart F) 
apply to new and existing plants that produce: Ethylene dichloride 
(EDC) by reaction of oxygen and hydrogen chloride with ethylene; vinyl 
chloride (VC) by any process; and one or more polymers containing any 
fraction of polymerized VC. This Subpart does not apply to equipment 
used in research and development if the reactor used to polymerize the 
VC has a capacity of no more than 0.19 m\3\. 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 with 40 CFR part 61, subpart F.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Ethylene dichloride, polyvinyl 
chloride and vinyl chloride plants.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 61, 
subpart F).
    Estimated number of respondents: 16 (total).
    Frequency of response: Initially, quarterly and occasionally.
    Total estimated burden: 6,540 hours (per year). Burden is defined 
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $1,410,000 (per year), which includes 
$720,000 in annualized capital/startup and/or operation & maintenance 
costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is an adjustment decrease in the 
estimated respondent burden and costs as currently identified in the 
OMB Inventory of Approved Burdens. This is not due to any program 
changes. The change has occurred due to a decrease in the number of 
respondents complying with this rule. Based on the Agency's 
consultation with the Vinyl Institute, the number of sources has 
decreased from an average of 18 sources in the previous ICR to an 
average of 16 sources for the current ICR period.

Director, Regulatory Support Division.
