    Title: NESHAP for Wood Furniture Manufacturing Operations (40 CFR 
part 63, subpart JJ).
    Abstract: Respondents to this information collection request are 
the owners and operators of both new and existing wood furniture 
manufacturing operations that are sources of hazardous air pollutants. 
Major sources are required to perform recordkeeping activities and 
submit both initial and semiannual/quarterly compliance reports. 
Incidental wood furniture manufacturers and area sources must keep 
records to show that they are not major sources. The information is 
used to determine that all sources subject to the rule are complying 
with the standards. The information to be collected is mandatory under 
the rule.
    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 is estimated to average 45 
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: Wood Furniture Manufacturers.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 750.
    Frequency of Response: Semiannually, quarterly and initially.
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 47,190 hours.
    Estimated Total Annual Costs: $3,003,109, which includes zero 
annualized capital/startup costs, $18,000 annual O&M costs, and 
$2,985,109 respondents' labor costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is a decrease of 44,881 hours in 
the total estimated burden currently identified in the OMB Inventory of 
Approved ICR Burdens. This decrease is a result of a more accurate 
characterization of the sources affected by the standard.

    Dated: January 22, 2004.

Acting Director, Collection Strategies Division.
