Title: NESHAP for Printing, Coating and Dyeing of Fabrics and Other
Textiles (Renewal).
ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 2071.04, OMB Control Number 2060-0522.
ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on June 30, 2009. Under
OMB regulations, the Agency may continue to conduct or sponsor the
collection of information while this submission is pending at OMB. 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. The OMB control numbers for EPA's regulations
in title 40 of the CFR, after appearing in the Federal Register when
approved, are listed in 40 CFR part 9, and displayed either by
publication in the Federal Register or by other appropriate means, such
as on the related collection instrument or form, if applicable. The
display of OMB control numbers in certain EPA regulations is
consolidated in 40 CFR part 9.
Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air
Pollutants (NESHAP) for Printing, Coating and Dyeing of Fabrics and
Other Textiles were proposed on July 11, 2002 (67 FR 46028),
promulgated on May 29, 2003 (68 FR 32172), and amended on August 4,
2004 (69 FR 47001). These standards apply to each existing, new or
reconstructed printing coating slashing, dyeing or finishing of fabric
and other textiles.
Owners or operators of the affected facilities must make the
following notifications: (1) Initial notification; (2) notification of
initial performance test; and (3) notification of compliance status.
Affected sources must submit an initial compliance status report, and a
startup, shutdown, and malfunction (SSM) plan. Respondents are also
required to maintain records of the occurrence and duration of any
startup, shutdown, or malfunction.
Any owner or operator subject to the provisions of this subpart
must maintain a file of these measurements and retain the file for at
least five years following the collection of such measurements,
maintenance reports, and records. All reports are sent to the delegated
state or local authority. In the event that there is no such delegated
authority, the reports are sent directly to the EPA regional office.
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. The OMB Control Numbers for EPA's
regulations are listed in 40 CFR part 9 and 48 CFR chapter 15, and are
identified on the form and/or instrument, if applicable.
Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 69
hours per response. Burden means the total time, effort, or financial
resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or
disclose or provide information either to or for a Federal agency. This
includes the time needed to review instructions; develop, acquire,
install, and utilize technology and systems for the purposes of
collecting, validating, and verifying information, processing and
maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information;
adjust the existing ways to comply with any previously applicable
instructions and requirements which have subsequently changed; train
personnel to be able to
[[Page 26689]]
respond to a collection of information; search data sources; complete
and review the collection of information; and transmit or otherwise
disclose the information.
Respondents/Affected Entities: Printing, coating, and dyeing of
fabrics and other textiles facilities.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 140.
Frequency of Response: On occasion, semiannually and initially.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 20,821.
Estimated Total Annual Cost: $1,687,784: which is comprised of
$3,640 in O&M costs, $1,680,831 in Labor costs, and $2,953 in total
capital/startup costs.
Changes in the Estimates: There is no change in either the burden
hours or cost to the respondents in this ICR compared to the previous
ICR. This is due to two considerations: (1) The regulations have not
changed over the past three years and are not anticipated to change
over the next three years; and (2) the growth rate for the respondents
is very low, negative or nonexistent. Therefore, the labor hours and
cost figures in the previous ICR reflect the current burden to the
respondents and are reiterated in this ICR. It should be noted that the
burden hours and annual cost shown in this ICR are somewhat different
than in the previous ICR due to the correction of a typographical error
and the more accurate rounding of numbers.
