Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Plating and Polishing Area Sources regulations apply to respondents that are plating and polishing facilities engaged in any of the following processes: Non-chromium electroplating; electroless or nonelectrolytic plating; other nonelectrolytic metal coating processes such as chromate conversion coating, nickel acetate sealing, sodium dichromate sealing, manganese phosphate coating, thermal spraying; dry mechanical polishing of finished metals and formed products after plating or thermal spraying, electroforming, and electro-polishing. New facilities include those that commenced construction or reconstruction after the date of proposal. The required annual reports are used to determine periods of excess emissions, identify problems at the facility, verify operation/maintenance procedures and for compliance determinations. This information is also collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 63, subpart WWWWWW. Form Numbers: None. Respondents/affected entities: Owners and operators of plating and polishing facilities. Respondent’s obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 63, subpart WWWWWW). Estimated number of respondents: 2,900 (total). Frequency of response: Initially and annually. Total estimated burden: 64,315 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b). Total estimated cost: $6,304,966 (per year), which includes $8,314 in annualized capital/start-up costs and 0 in operation & maintenance costs. Changes in the Estimates: There is an increase of 31,208 hours in the total PO 00000 Frm 00021 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 16379 estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently approved by OMB. The change in burden and cost estimates occurred as a result of updating the burden tables to accurately reflect the reporting and recordkeeping requirements of the rule.

The Agency will consider all comments received during the public comment period and make changes, as appropriate, to the draft human health and ecological risk assessments. EPA will then, as needed, issue revised risk assessments, explain any changes to the draft risk assessments, and respond to the comments. In the Federal Register notice announcing the availability of the revised risk assessments, if a revised risk assessment indicates risks of concern, the Agency may provide a comment period for the public to submit suggestions for mitigating the risks identified in the revised risk assessment before developing a proposed registration review decision. Alternatively, the Agency may seek public comment on a proposed registration review decision without revising the risk assessments for any given chemical.

information in response to this document. To be considered during a 
pesticide's registration review, the submitted data or information must 
meet the following requirements:
     To ensure that EPA will consider data or information 
submitted, interested persons must submit the data or information 
during the comment period. The Agency may, at its discretion, consider 
data or information submitted at a later date.
     The data or information submitted must be presented in a 
legible and useable form. For example, an English translation must 
accompany any material that is not in English and a written transcript 
must accompany any information submitted as an audiographic or 
videographic record. Written material may be submitted in paper or 
electronic form.
     Submitters must clearly identify the source of any 
submitted data or information.
     Submitters may request the Agency to reconsider data or 
information that the Agency rejected in a previous review. However, 
submitters must explain why they believe the Agency should reconsider 
the data or information in the pesticide's registration review.
    As provided in 40 CFR 155.58, the registration review docket for 
each pesticide case will remain publicly accessible through the 
duration of the registration review process; that is, until all actions 
required in the final decision on the registration review case have 
been completed.

    Dated: March 13, 2015.
