    Title: NESHAP for Printing, Coating and Dyeing of Fabrics and Other 
Textiles (Renewal).
    ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 2071.04, OMB Control Number 2060-0522.
    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 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 notifications: (1) Initial notification; (2) notification of 
initial performance test; and (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 either 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: $1,687,784: which is comprised of 
$3,640 in O&M costs, $1,680,831 in Labor costs, and $2,953 in total 
capital/startup costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is no change in either the burden 
hours or cost to the respondents in this ICR compared to the previous 
ICR. This is due to two considerations: (1) The regulations have not 
changed over the past three years and are not anticipated to change 
over the next three years; and (2) the growth rate for the respondents 
is very low, negative or nonexistent. Therefore, the labor hours and 
cost figures in the previous ICR reflect the current burden to the 
respondents and are reiterated in this ICR. It should be noted that the 
burden hours and annual cost shown in this ICR are somewhat different 
than in the previous ICR due to the correction of a typographical error 
and the more accurate rounding of numbers.
