Abstract
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has submitted an information collection request (ICR), NESHAP for Reinforced Plastic Composites Production (EPA ICR Number 1976.10, OMB Control Number 2060- 0509), to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act. This is a proposed extension of the ICR, which is currently approved through April 30, 2022. Public comments were previously requested, via the Federal Register, on April 13, 2021, during a 60-day comment period. This notice 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 the regulations (40 CFR part 63, subpart WWWW)
apply to both existing facilities and new facilities with reinforced
plastic composites (RPC) production operations and processes. 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
[[Page 24294]]
essential in determining compliance, and are required of all affected
facilities subject to NESHAP.
Form Numbers: 5900-566.
Respondents/affected entities: Owners and operators of reinforced
plastic composites production operations and processes.
Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 63,
subpart WWWW).
Estimated number of respondents: 448 (total).
Frequency of response: Monthly, semiannually, annually.
Total estimated burden: 38,600 hours (per year). Burden is defined
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
Total estimated cost: $4,570,000 (per year), which includes $0 for
annualized capital/startup and/or operation & maintenance costs.
Changes in the Estimates: The increase in burden from the most-
recently approved ICR is due to an increase in adjustment(s). The
adjustment increase in burden from the most-recently approved ICR is
due to a change in regulatory requirements stemming from the 2020 RTR
ICR (EPA ICR No. 1976.09) and the incorporation of its burden into the
currently-approved ICR. Items added include burden for work practice
requirements and time to record information. Work practice requirements
have had a significant impact on the burden since facilities are
complying with the current regulations through pollution prevention
measures rather than add-on control devices. The time to complete
semiannual compliance reports and time to train personnel have also
been adjusted. Reporting emissions exceedances or no emissions
exceedances is included in the semiannual compliance reports, and the
time to train personnel was adjusted to represent facilities of any
size. In addition, capital/startup and operation and maintenance costs
have decreased from the previous ICR. It is estimated no new facilities
will be subject to the rule and that existing facilities are complying
with the rule using compliant materials instead of add-on control
devices.

Director, Regulatory Support Division.
