    Title: NESHAP for the Manufacture of Amino/Phenolic Resins (40 CFR 
Part 63, Subpart OOO), OMB Control Number 2060-0434, EPA ICR Number 
1869.03.
    Abstract: This NESHAP standard requires initial notification, 
performance tests, and periodic reports. 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. These notifications, reports, and records are essential in 
determining compliance and are required, in general, of all sources 
subject to NESHAP.
    Any owner or operator subject to the provisions of this part shall 
maintain a file of these measurements, and retain the file for at least 
5 years following the date of such measurements, maintain reports, and 
records. All reports are sent to the delegated State or local 
authority. In the event that there is no such delegated authority, the 
reports are sent directly to the EPA regional office. This information 
is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 63, subpart EE 
as authorized in sections 112 and 114(a) of the Clean Air Act. The 
required information consists of emissions data and other information 
that have been determined not to be private.
    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 293 
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 amino/
phenolic resins manufacturing operations.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 40.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion, initially, quarterly, 
semiannually.
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 24,044 hours.
    Estimated Total Annual Costs: $1,537,017 which includes $0 
annualized capital/startup costs, $16,000 annual O&M costs and 
$1,521,017 labor costs for respondents.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is a decrease of 8,208 hours in the 
total estimated burden currently identified in the OMB inventory of 
approved ICR burdens. This decrease is due to a reduction in annual 
burden after facilities have completed initial compliance activities 
during their first year of required compliance.

    Dated: February 24, 2004.

Director, Collection Strategies Division.
