EPA is proposing national emission
standards for the control of hazardous air pollutants (HAP) from
sources in the chemical preparations industry area source category.
These proposed emission standards for new and existing sources are
based upon EPA's proposed determination as to what constitutes the
generally available control technology or management practices
(GACT) for the source category. The NESHAP includes emission
standards and monitoring, reporting, and recordkeeping requirements
for area sources of HAP. The burden estimate for this ICR is based
upon the 26 existing facilities that we anticipate will conduct the
required testing, monitoring, recordkeeping, and reporting
activities. We do not anticipate any new or reconstructed
facilities in the 3-year period covered by this ICR.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
