    Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air 
Pollutants (NESHAP) for printing, coating and dyeing of fabrics and 
other textiles were proposed on July 11, 2002 (67 FR 46028), 
promulgated on May 29, 2003 (68 FR 32172), and amended on August 4, 
2004 (69 FR 47001). These standards apply to each existing, new or 
reconstructed printing coating slashing, dyeing or finishing of fabric 
and other textiles.
    Owners or operators of the affected facilities must make the 
following notification: (1) Initial notification, (2) notification of 
initial performance test, (3) notification of compliance status. 
Affected sources must submit an initial compliance status report, and a 
startup, shutdown, and malfunction (SSM) plan. Respondents are also 
required to maintain records of the occurrence and duration of any 
startup, shutdown, or malfunction.
    Any owner or operator subject to the provisions of this subpart 
must maintain a file of these measurements, and retain the file for at 
least five years following the collection of such measurements, 
maintenance 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.
    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 69 
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 which have subsequently changed; 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: Printing, coating, and dyeing of 
fabrics and other textiles facilities.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 140.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion, semiannually and initially.
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 20,821.
    Estimated Total Annual Cost: $1,687,831 which includes $3,000 
annualized capital start-up costs, $4,000 annualized O&M costs, and 
annualized labor costs of $1,680,831.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is a decrease of 8,670 hours in the 
total estimated burden currently identified in the OMB Inventory of 
Approved ICR Burdens.
    The decrease in burden from the most recently approved ICR is due 
to the requirements of the standard, which requires all existing 
sources to be in compliance within three years. Therefore, all existing 
sources are assumed to be in compliance, and the burden associated with 
the initial compliance efforts no longer exists.
    There was a decrease in the capital/startup and operations and 
maintenance (O&M) costs from the previous ICR. The reason for this 
decrease is that we are accounting only for the number of respondents 
associated with the O&M costs, not for the number of annual reports 
used in the previous ICR.
