allows for an additional 30 days for public comments. A fuller 
description of the ICR is given below, including its estimated burden 
and cost to the public. An agency may neither conduct nor sponsor, and 
a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information 
unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number.

    Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air 
Pollutants (NESHAP) for Pesticide Active Ingredient Production (40 CFR 
part 63, subpart MMM) apply to existing and new facilities engaged in 
the production of pesticide active ingredients (PAIs) that emit HAPs. 
New facilities include those that commenced construction, modification 
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 63, subpart MMM.
    Form numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Owners and operators of pesticides 
active ingredient production operations.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 63, 
subpart MMM).
    Estimated number of respondents: 18.
    Frequency of response: Initially, quarterly, and semiannually.
    Total estimated burden: 12,100 hours (per year). Burden is defined 
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $1,350,000 (per year), which includes $26,500 
in annualized capital/startup and/or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the estimates: There is a decrease in the total capital/
startup cost and O&M cost due to a correction. This ICR corrects an 
error in the capital/startup cost calculation in the previous ICR, as 
existing sources are not expected to incur capital/startup costs 
associated with purchasing PRD electronic indicators. There is also a 
small adjustment increase in the estimated labor hours due to a change 
in assumption. This ICR assumes all existing sources will take some 
time to re-familiarize with the regulations each year.
