Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for the Manufacture of Amino/Phenolic Resins (40 CFR part 63, subpart OOO) were proposed on December 14, 1998; promulgated on January 20, 2000; and amended on: April 20, 2006; October 8, 2014; October 15, 2018; and November 19, 2020. These regulations apply to existing facilities and new facilities that manufacture amino/phenolic resins with HAP emissions points that include: (1) reactor batch process vents; (2) nonreactor batch process vents; (3) continuous process vents; (4) equipment leaks; (5) wastewater; (6) storage vessels; and (7) heat exchangers. New facilities include those that either commenced construction, modification, or reconstruction after the date of the proposal. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 63, subpart OOO. 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 SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: PO 00000 Frm 00039 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 compliance, and are required of all affected facilities subject to NESHAP. Form Numbers: None. Respondents/affected entities: Amino/phenolic resins manufacturing facilities. Respondent’s obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 63, subpart OOO). Estimated number of respondents: 19 (total). Frequency of response: Initially, occasionally, quarterly, semiannually, and annually. Total estimated burden: 23,300 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.03(b). Total estimated cost: $5,080,000 (per year), which includes $2,280,000 in annualized capital/startup and/or operation & maintenance costs. Changes in the Estimates: There is no change in burden from the most recently approved ICR as currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved Burdens. This is due to two considerations: (1) the regulations have not changed over the past three years and are not anticipated to change over the next three years; and (2) the growth rate for this industry is either very low or non-existent, so there is no significant change in the overall burden. Since there are no changes in the regulatory requirements and there is no significant industry growth, there are also no changes in the capital/startup or operation and maintenance (O&M) activities. This ICR also updates the capital/startup and O&M costs from 2014 to 2020, using the annual Chemical Engineering Plant Cost Index (CEPCI). Courtney Kerwin, Director, Regulatory Support Division.
