    Title: NESHAP for the Printing and Publishing Industry (40 CFR part 
63, subpart KK), OMB Control Number 2060-0335, EPA ICR Number 1739.04.
    Abstract: The Maximum Achievable Control Technology (NESHAP) 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 was May 30, 1999, for sources existing on 
May 30, 1996. For new sources or reconstructed sources after May 30, 
1996, the effective date of startup is 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 test 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 records 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 
continuous monitoring systems (CMS) there are performance test, and 
maintenance reports. Excess emissions reports are submitted 
semiannually. Responses to the information collection are mandatory 
under Clean Air Act section 112 and 40 CFR part 63, subpart KK. The 
responses are not anticipated to be kept confidential due to the nature 
of the information collected; however, any information submitted to the 
Agency for which claim of confidentiality is made will be safeguarded 
according to the Agency policy set forth in 40 CFR part 2.
    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 are estimated to average 163 
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: 151.
    Frequency of Response: One time notification, semiannual reports, 
and on occasion.
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 49,548 hours.
    Estimated Total Annual Capital and Operations and Maintenance 
Costs: $412,000, which includes $7,000 annualized capital/startup costs 
and $405,000 annual O&M costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is a decrease of 2,947 hours in the 
total estimated burden currently identified in the OMB Inventory of 
Approved ICR Burdens.
    Even though there is a decrease of hours in the total estimated 
burden from the most recently approved ICR, there was an increase in 
the number of new or modified sources, and an increase in the annual 
cost, which is due to a revised hourly rate from the United States 
Department of Labor.

    Dated: August 12, 2003.

Acting Director, Collection Strategies Division.
