    Title: NESHAP for Reinforced Plastic Composites Production 
(Renewal).
    ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 1976.04, OMB Control Number 2060-0509.
    ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on June 30, 2009. 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, and 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 National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air 
Pollutants (NESHAP) for Reinforced Plastic Composites (RPC) Production 
Operations and Processes were proposed on August 2, 2001 (66 FR 40323), 
and promulgated on April 21, 2003 (68 FR 19375). These standards 
regulate fugitive emissions from reinforced plastic composites (RPC) 
production operations and processes resulting from hazardous air 
pollutants (HAPs) evaporating from the resins, gel coats, and cleaning 
solvents.
    Owners and operators of affected sources are subject to the 
monitoring, recordkeeping and reporting requirements of 40 CFR part 63, 
subpart A, the General Provisions, unless specified otherwise in the 
regulation. This rule requires sources to submit initial notifications, 
conduct performance tests if source is using an add-on control device, 
and submit periodic compliance reports. In addition, sources are 
required to maintain records of the occurrence and duration of any 
startup, shutdown, or malfunction in the operation if using an add-on 
control device; any period during which the monitoring system is 
inoperative; parametric monitoring data; system maintenance and 
calibration; and work practices to demonstrate initial and ongoing 
compliance with the regulation.
    Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping 
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 16 
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: Reinforced plastic composites 
production facilities.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 504.
    Frequency of Response: Initially, and semiannually.
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 17,740.
    Estimated Total Annual Cost: $1,454,143, including: $1,432,143 in 
annual labor costs, $22,000 in O&M costs, and no annualized capital 
costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is no change in the total estimated 
burden currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR 
Burdens.

    Dated: April 13, 2009.

Acting Director, Collection Strategies Division.
