Abstract: The New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for Synthetic Fiber Production Facilities (40 CFR part 60, subpart HHH) were proposed on November 23, 1982, promulgated on April 5, 1984, and amended on October 17, 2000. These regulations apply to both existing and new synthetic fiber production plants with a solvent-spun, synthetic fiber process that produce more than 500 megagrams (Mgs) of fiber per year that commenced construction or reconstruction after the date of proposal. In general, all NSPS 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 NSPS. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 60, subpart HHH. Form Numbers: None. Respondents/affected entities: Synthetic fiber production plants.

Changes in the estimates: There is no change in hours in the total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently approved by OMB. This is due to two considerations. First, the regulations have not changed over the past three years and are not anticipated to change over the next three years. Second, the growth rate for this industry is very low or non-existent, so there is no significant change in the overall burden.
