    Abstract: Respondents are owners or operators of facilities that 
produce pulp, paper, or paperboard by employing kraft, soda, sulfite, 
semi-chemical, or mechanical pulping processes using wood; or any 
process using secondary or non-wood fiber and that emits 10 tons per 
year or more of any hazardous air pollutant (HAP) or 25 tons per year 
or more of any combination of HAPs. Affected sources are all the 
hazardous air pollutant emission points or the HAP emission points in 
the pulping and bleaching system for mechanical pulping processes using 
wood and any process using secondary or non-wood fiber.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Owners and operators of pulp and 
paper mills that are major sources of HAP emissions.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 63, 
subpart S).
    Estimated number of respondents: 114 (total).
    Frequency of response: Initially, occasionally, and semiannually.
    Total estimated burden: 52,304 hours (per year). Burden is defined 
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $4,939,270 (per year), includes $841,000 
annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is no change in the total estimated 
burden as currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved 
Burdens. This ICR covers the burden resulting from the 2012 RTR. OMB 
Control Number 2060-0387 (EPA ICR Number 1657.07) covers the burden in 
the previously existing rule. That ICR is currently being renewed to 
cover the burden under both of these series. In preparing that ICR 
renewal, EPA will removed any duplicate items so that it only reflects 
current requirements.
