    Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air 
Pollutants (NESHAP) for Solvent Extraction for Vegetable Oil Production 
(40 CFR part 63, subpart GGGG) apply to existing facilities and new 
facilities with a vegetable oil production process and that is a major 
source of hazardous air pollutant (HAP) or is collocated with other 
sources that are individually or collectively a major source of HAP 
emissions. Owners and operators of affected facilities are required to 
comply with reporting and recordkeeping requirements for the General 
Provisions (40 CFR part 63, subpart A), as well as for the applicable 
specific standards. 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. This 
information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 
63, subpart GGGG.
    Form numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Facilities with a vegetable oil 
production process.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 63, 
subpart GGGG).
    Estimated number of respondents: 87 (total).
    Frequency of response: Initially, occasionally, and annually.
    Total estimated burden: 33,000 hours (per year). Burden is defined 
at 5 CFR 1320.03(b).
    Total estimated cost: $4,520,000 (per year), which includes $0 
annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the estimates: There is a decrease of 1,100 hours in the 
total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently 
approved by OMB. This decrease is due to a decrease in the number of 
sources.
