SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
    Title: National Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutant 
Emissions for Polyether Polyol Production, OMB Control Number 2060-
0415, EPA ICR Number 1811.03, expiration date July 31, 2002.
    Abstract: The National Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air 
Pollutants for Polyether Polyols production, (40 CFR part 63 subpart 
PPP) was proposed on June 1, 1999 and published January 30, 2002. These 
regulations apply to new and existing facilities that engage in the 
manufacture of polyether polyols (which also include polyether mono-
ols) and emit hazardous air pollutants (GAP). Owners or operators of 
polyester polyols production facilities to which this regulation is 
applicable must choose one of the compliance options described in the 
rule or install and monitor a specific control system that reduces HAP 
emissions to the compliance level. The respondents are also subject to 
sections of Subpart A relating to NESHAP.
    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 January 30, 
2002. No comments were received.
    Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping 
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 248 
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: Polyester Polyol Plants.
