ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 1984.04, OMB Control Number 2060-0552. ICR Status: This ICR is schedule to expire on October 31, 2010. 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 Plywood and Composite Products were proposed on January 9, 2003, and promulgated on July 30, 2004, and amended on February 16, 2006. This regulation covers both new and existing plywood and composite wood products (PCWP) facilities. Plywood and/or composite products are manufactured by bonding wood material (fibers, particles, strands, veneers, etc.) or agricultural fiber with resin, generally under head and pressure, to form a structural panel or engineered wood product. Plywood and composite products include, but are not limited to, plywood, veneer, particleboard, oriented strand board, hardboard, fiberboard, medium density fiberboard, laminated strand lumber, laminated veneer lumber, wood I-joists, kiln-dried lumber and glue- laminated beams. Owners/operators of plywood and composite products facilities are required to submit initial notification, performance tests, and compliance status reports. Also, respondents are 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. Semiannual reports are required. These notifications, reports, and records are essential in determining compliance and, in general, are required of all sources subject to NESHAP. Any owner or operator subject to the provisions of this part shall maintain a file of these measurements, and retain the file for at least five years following the date of such measurements, maintenance reports, and records. Performance tests reports are required as this is the Agency's record of a source's initial capability to comply with the emission standard, and they serve as a record of the operating conditions under which compliance was achieved. 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. This information is [[Page 47304]] being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 63, subpart DDDD, as authorized in section 112 and 114(a) of the Clean Air Act. The required information consists of emissions data and other information that has been determined to be private. 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 Number 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 21 hours per response. Burden means the total time, effort, or financial resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or disclose or provide information to or for a Federal agency. This includes the time needed to review instructions; develop, acquire, install, and utilize technology and systems for the purpose of collecting, validating, and verifying information, processing and maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information. All existing ways will have to adjust to comply with any previously applicable instructions and requirements that have subsequently changed; train personnel to be able to 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: Plywood and composite products. Estimated Number of Respondents: 228. Frequency of Response: Initially and semiannually. Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 11,680. Estimated Total Annual Cost: $1,120,813 which includes $1,104,853 in labor costs, no capital/startup costs, and $15,960 in operation and maintenance (O&M) costs. Changes in the Estimates: There is an adjustment in the labor hour burden in this ICR compared to the previous ICR. The labor burden is decreased compared to the most recently approved ICR because the industry is experiencing a flat production with no new facilities anticipated in the three years of this ICR. In addition, the new facilities in the previous ICR have become existing facilities. Existing facilities must demonstrate and report continuing compliance with the requirement. There is a decrease in the capital/startup and O&M costs compared to the previous ICR because there are no new facilities that must purchase continuous monitoring equipment. Dated: July 30, 2010.
