Abstract: The affected entities are subject to the General Provisions of the NESHAP (40 CFR part 63, subpart A), and any changes, or additions. to the Provisions are specified at 40 CFR part 63, subpart T. Owners or operators of the affected facilities must submit initial notification reports, performance tests, and periodic reports and results. 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. Reports, at a minimum, are required semiannually.

Form Numbers: None.

Respondents/affected entities: Facilities with halogenated HAP solvent cleaning machines.

Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 63, subpart T).

Estimated number of respondents: 1,431 (total).

Frequency of response: Initially, quarterly, semiannually and annually.

Total estimated burden: 48,000 hours (rounded) (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).

Total estimated cost: $5,960,000 (per year), which includes $1,010,000 in either annualized capital/startup or operation & maintenance costs.

Changes in the Estimates: There is an adjustment increase in respondent labor hours in this ICR from the most recently approved ICR. This is due to assuming all existing sources will have to re-familiarize with the regulatory requirements each year. Additionally, there is a small decrease in the total capital and O&M cost due to the rounding of all calculated values to three significant digits.
