Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air
Pollutants (NESHAP) for Group IV Polymers and Resins (40 CFR part 63,
subpart JJJ) were proposed on March 29, 1995; promulgated on September
12, 1996; and most-recently amended on March 27, 2014. These
regulations apply to each new and existing thermoplastic product
process units (TPPU) and associated equipment that produce the subset
of polymers and resins known as ``Group IV Polymers and Resins'' that
is a major source of organic hazardous air pollutants (HAPs). Group IV
polymers and resins include the following source categories:
Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS), Methyl Methacrylate
Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (MABS), Methyl Methacrylate Butadiene
Styrene (MABS), Nitrile Resin, Polyethylene Terephthalate
[[Page 10913]]
(PET), Polystyrene (PS), and Styrene Acrylonitrile (SAN). This
information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part
63, subpart JJJ.
Form Numbers: None.
Respondents/affected entities: Each new and existing thermoplastic
product process unit (TPPU) and associated equipment that produces the
subset of polymers and resins known as ``Group IV Polymers and Resins''
that is a major source of organic hazardous air pollutants (HAPs).
Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 63,
subpart JJJ).
Estimated number of respondents: 24 (total).
Frequency of response: Initially, occasionally, semiannually, and
quarterly.
Total estimated burden: 141,000 hours (per year). Burden is defined
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
Total estimated cost: $19,300,000 (per year), includes $10,300,000
annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs.
Changes in the estimates: There is no change in burden from the
most recently approved ICR. This is due to two considerations. First,
the regulations have not changed over the past three years and are not
anticipated to change over the next three years. Second, the growth
rate for this industry is very low or non-existent, so there is no
significant change in the overall burden. There is an adjustment
increase in the capital/startup or operation and maintenance (O&M)
costs, which have been adjusted to reflect 2023 dollars using the CEPCI
CE index.

Director, Information Engagement Division.
