Title: NESHAP for the Manufacture of Amino/Phenolic Resins (40 CFR
Part 63, Subpart OOO), OMB Control Number 2060-0434, EPA ICR Number
1869.03.
Abstract: This NESHAP standard requires initial notification,
performance tests, and periodic reports. Owners or operators 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 and are required, in general, 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
5 years following the date of such measurements, maintain 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. This information
is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 63, subpart EE
as authorized in sections 112 and 114(a) of the Clean Air Act. The
required information consists of emissions data and other information
that have been determined not 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 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 293
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 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; 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: Owners or operators of amino/
phenolic resins manufacturing operations.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 40.
Frequency of Response: On occasion, initially, quarterly,
semiannually.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 24,044 hours.
Estimated Total Annual Costs: $1,537,017 which includes $0
annualized capital/startup costs, $16,000 annual O&M costs and
$1,521,017 labor costs for respondents.
Changes in the Estimates: There is a decrease of 8,208 hours in the
total estimated burden currently identified in the OMB inventory of
approved ICR burdens. This decrease is due to a reduction in annual
burden after facilities have completed initial compliance activities
during their first year of required compliance.
Dated: February 24, 2004.

Director, Collection Strategies Division.
