    Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air 
Pollutants (NESHAP) for Wood Furniture Manufacturing Operations (40 CFR 
part 63, subpart JJ) apply to both existing and new wood furniture 
manufacturing operations that are major sources of hazardous air 
pollutants (HAPs). A ``major source'' is a stationary source or group 
of stationary sources that emit or have the potential to emit 10 tons 
per year (tpy) or more of a HAP or 25 tpy or more of a combination of 
HAPs. New facilities include those that commenced construction, 
modification, or reconstruction after the date of proposal. These 
standards also apply to existing and new incidental sources and to area 
sources. These sources are only required to maintain purchase or usage 
records demonstrating that they meet the definition for incidental or 
area sources. Incidental and area sources are not subject to any other 
provisions of these standards. An ``incidental source,'' as defined in 
these standards, is a major source that is primarily engaged in the 
manufacture of products other than wood furniture or wood furniture 
components, and that uses no more than 100 gallons per month of 
finishing

material or adhesives in the manufacture of wood furniture or wood 
furniture components. An ``area source'' is any stationary source that 
is not a major source.''
    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 63, 
subpart JJ.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Wood furniture manufacturing 
facilities.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 63, 
subpart JJ).
    Estimated number of respondents: 856 (total).
    Frequency of response: Initially, occasionally, quarterly, 
semiannually, and annually.
    Total estimated burden: 70,800 hours (per year). Burden is defined 
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $7,780,000 (per year), which includes $24,600 
in annualized capital/startup and/or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the estimates: The increase in burden hours and the 
number of responses from the most-recently approved ICR is due to 
several adjustments: (1) This ICR accounts for the time for each source 
to refamiliarize themselves with the regulatory requirements each year; 
and (2) this ICR added in one-time requirements for reconstructed and 
modified sources that were missing from the previous renewal and edited 
the frequency of records to better match regulatory requirements. 
Overall, these changes resulted in an increase of 4,565 hours.

Director, Regulatory Support Division.
