    Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for the Printing and Publishing Industry were proposed on March 14, 1995, promulgated on May 30, 1998, and most-recently amended on April 21, 2011. These regulations apply to both existing and new facilities operating publication rotogravure, product and packaging rotogravure, or wide-web flexographic printing presses at major sources. These standards also apply to owners and/or operators who choose to commit to and meet the criteria of establishing the facility to be an area source of hazardous air pollutants (HAP). New facilities include those that commenced construction or reconstruction after the effective date of this subpart. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 63, subpart KK.

    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 essential in determining compliance, and are required of all affected facilities subject to NESHAP.

    Form Numbers: None.

    Respondents/affected entities: Printing and publishing facilities.

    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 63, subpart KK).

    Estimated number of respondents: 352 (total).

    Frequency of response: Initially and semiannually.

    Total estimated burden: 59,800 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).

    Total estimated cost: $7,220,000 (per year), which includes $414,000 in annualized capital/startup and/or operation & maintenance costs.

    Changes in the Estimates: There is no change in the labor hours in this ICR compared to the previous 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. Secondly, this ICR assumes the respondent universe subject to the regulation has remained stable since the last ICR renewal.
