    Title: NESHAP for the Printing and Publishing Industry (Renewal).
    ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 1739.05, OMB Control Number 2060-0335.
    ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on January 31, 2007. 
Under OMB regulations, the Agency may continue to conduct or sponsor 
the collection of information while this submission is pending at OMB. 
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 
in title 40 of the CFR, after appearing in the Federal Register when 
approved, are listed in 40 CFR part 9, are displayed either by 
publication in the Federal Register or by other appropriate means, such 
as on the related collection instrument or form, if applicable. The 
display of OMB control numbers in certain EPA regulations is 
consolidated in 40 CFR part 9.
    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.
    Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping 
burden for this collection of information are estimated to average 100 
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: 352.
    Frequency of Response: Initially, on occasion, and semiannually.
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 50,796.
    Estimated Total Capital and Operations & Maintenance (O&M) Annual 
Costs: $412,000, which includes $7,000 annualized capital/startup costs 
and $405,000 annual O&M costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is no change in the labor hours or 
cost in this ICR compared to the previous ICR. This is due to two 
considerations. First, the regulations have not changed over the past 
three years and are not anticipated to change over the next three 
years. Secondly, the growth rate for the industry is very low, negative 
or non-existent, so there is no significant change in the overall 
burden.
    Since there are no changes in the regulatory requirements and there 
is no significant industry growth, the labor hours and cost figures in 
the previous ICR are used in this ICR and there is no change in burden 
to industry.
