continue to conduct or sponsor the
collection of information while this
submission is pending at OMB.
Abstract: The National Emissions
Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants
(NESHAP) for Pesticide Active
Ingredient Production were proposed on
November 10, 1997 (62 FR 60579), and
promulgated on June 23, 1999, (64 FR
33550).
Owners or operators of pesticide
active ingredient (PAI) production
facilities to which this regulation
applies must choose one of the
compliance options that are described
in the rule or install and monitor a
specific control system that reduces
hazardous air pollutant (HAP) emissions
to the compliance level. The
respondents are subject to sections of
subpart A of 40 CFR part 63 relating to
NESHAP. These requirements include
those associated with the applicability
determination; the notification that the
facility is subject to the rule; the
notification of testing [control device
performance test and continuous
monitoring system (CMS) performance
evaluation]; the results of performance
testing and CMS performance
evaluations; startup, shutdown, and
malfunction reports; semiannual or
quarterly summary reports, and/or
excess emissions reports; and CMS
performance reports. In addition to the
requirements of subpart A, many
respondents are required to submit precompliance plan and leak detection and
repair (LDAR) reports; and plants that
wish to implement emissions averaging
provisions must submit an emissionaveraging plan.
Respondents electing to comply with
the emission limit or emission reduction
requirements for process vents, storage
tanks, or wastewater must record the
values of equipment operating
parameters as specified in 40 CFR
63.1367 of the rule.
Owners or operators of PAI
production facilities subject to the rule
must maintain a file of these
measurements, and retain the file for at
least five years following the date 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. This
information is being collected to assure
compliance with 40 CFR part 63,
subpart MMM, as authorized in section
112 and 114(a) of the Clean Air Act. The
required information consists of
emissions data and other information
that have been determined to be private.
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
Number 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 57 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:
Pesticide active ingredient production.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
15.
Frequency of Response: Initially,
quarterly, and semiannually.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:
3,666.
Estimated Total Annual Cost:
$366,098, which includes $346,223 in
labor costs, no capital/startup costs, and
$19,875 in operation and maintenance
(O&M) costs.
Changes in the Estimates: The
adjustment decrease in burden from the
most recently approved ICR is due to a
more accurate estimate of existing and
anticipated new sources. After
consulting with the EPA Office of Air
Quality Planning and Standards
(OAQPS), and a number of trade
associations, our data indicates that
there are approximately fifteen sources
subject to the rule, as compared with the
active ICR that shows eighty-eight
sources. There are no new facilities
expected to be constructed over the next
three years of this ICR. The decline in
the number of sources is due to: (1)
Plant closures, including the cost to
retrofit aging facilities increased due to
the down turn in the economy; (2)
corporate mergers; and (3) foreign
competition. Therefore, there is a net
decrease in the burden to industry.
Because there are no new sources
with reporting requirements, no capital/

startup costs are incurred. The only cost
that is incurred is for the operation and
maintenance (O&M) of the monitoring
equipment, which have decreased by
$333,125 due to the decline in the
number of sources, as explained above.

Abstract: The National Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air
Pollutants (NESHAP) for Pesticide Active Ingredient Production were
proposed on November 10, 1997 (62 FR 60579), and promulgated on June

Owners or operators of pesticide active ingredient (PAI) production
facilities to which this regulation applies must choose one of the
compliance options that are described in the rule or install and

continuous monitoring system (CMS) performance evaluation]; the results

In addition to the requirements of subpart A, many respondents are
required to submit pre-compliance plan and leak detection and repair
(LDAR) reports; and plants that wish to implement emissions averaging
provisions must submit an emission-averaging plan.
Respondents electing to comply with the emission limit or emission
