SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Title: MACT Subpart KK, National Emission Standards for the 
Printing and Publishing Industry (OMB Control No. 2060-0335; EPA ICR 
No.1739.03) expiring 03/31/00. This is a request for extension of a 
currently approved collection.
    Abstract: The Maximum Achievable Control Technology (MACT) for the 
Printing and Publishing Industry were promulgated on May 30, 1996 (61 
FR 27131). These standards apply to the following facilities in 40 CFR 
part 63, subpart KK: publication rotogravure, product and packaging 
rotogravure, and wide-web flexographic printing presses at major 
sources. The effective date is May 30, 1999 for sources existing on May 
30, 1996. For new sources or reconstructed sources after May 30, 1996, 
the effective date is start-up or May 30, 1996, whichever is later.
    These standards of performance for this category of major sources 
and area sources of hazardous air pollutants are required by section 
112 of the Clean Air Act. Facilities may meet the standards by 
materials substitution, by installing control devices, or by a 
combination of both. The information that is required to be submitted 
to the Agency or kept at the facility is needed to insure compliance 
with the regulation. These include initial one time notifications, 
performance tests plans and reports and records of maintenance and 
shutdown, startup, and malfunctions. The required notifications are 
used to inform the Agency or delegated authority when a source becomes 
subject to the standard. The reviewing authority may then inspect the 
source to check if the pollution control devices are properly installed 
and operated, leaks are being detected and repaired and the standard is 
being met. Performance test reports are needed as these are the 
Agency's record of a source's initial capability to comply with the 
emission standard, and serve as a record of the operating conditions 
under which compliance was achieved. For facilities that install CMS 
there are performance test, and maintenance reports. Excess emissions 
reports are submitted semiannually. Responses to the collection of 
information are mandatory.
    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. The 
Federal Register document required under 5 CFR 1320.8(d), soliciting 
comments on this collection of information was published on 7/29/99 (64 
FR 41110); no comments/comments were received.
    Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping 
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 192 
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 publication 
rotogravure, product and packaging rotogravure, or wide-web 
flexographic printing presses.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 135.
    Frequency of Response: one time notifications, semiannual reports.
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 52,495
    Estimated Total Annualized Capital, O&M Cost Burden: $403,000
    Send comments on the Agency's need for this information, the 
accuracy of the provided burden estimates, and any suggested methods 
for minimizing respondent burden, including through the use of 
automated collection techniques to the following addresses. Please 
refer to EPA ICR No. 1739.03 and OMB Control No. 2060-0335 in any
