    Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air 
Pollutants (NESHAP) for Miscellaneous Organic Chemical Manufacturing 
(40 CFR part 63, subpart FFFF) were proposed on April 4, 2002, and 
promulgated on July 14, 2006. These regulations apply to both existing 
facilities and new facilities that manufacture a miscellaneous organic 
chemical and that are located at, or are part of, major sources of 
hazardous air pollutant (HAP) emissions. New facilities include those 
that commenced construction, modification or reconstruction after the 
date of proposal. This information is being collected to assure 
compliance with 40 CFR part 63, subpart FFFF.
    In general, all NESHAP standards require initial notifications, 
performance tests, and periodic reports by the owners/operators of the 
affected facilities. They are also required to maintain records of the 
occurrence and duration of any startup, shutdown, or malfunction in the 
operation of an affected facility, or any period during which the 
monitoring system is inoperative. These notifications, reports, and 
records are essential in determining compliance, and are required of 
all affected facilities subject to NESHAP.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Miscellaneous organic chemical 
manufacturing facilities.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 63, 
subpart FFFF).
    Estimated number of respondents: 202 (total).
    Frequency of response: Initially and semiannually.
    Total estimated burden: 327,000 hours (per year). Burden is defined 
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $41,600,000 (per year), which includes 
$4,310,000 in annualized capital/startup and/or operation & maintenance 
costs.
    Changes in the estimates: There is an adjustment decrease in the 
total estimated burden as currently identified in the OMB Inventory of 
Approved Burdens; this decrease is not due to any program changes. The 
decrease in burden is due to more accurate estimates of existing 
sources based on information gathered by EPA and confirmed by industry. 
The decrease in the number of respondents also results in a decrease in 
responses and operation and maintenance costs.

Director, Regulatory Support Division.
