Upon
resubmission, the agency must update the burden estimates to
accurately reflect the number of respondents and include burden
estimates for State reporting and recordkeeping requirements.
Ensure that burden is calculated for all of the requirements and
ensure that the requirements and burden tables are consistent. The
agency must provide screen shots of the mode of collection, ICIS,
that is used for this information collection. In addition, the
agency must have a burden statement that aligns with the
requirements under 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3) and placement of the OMB
control number for on-line submissions on the initial screen per 5
CFR 1320.3(f)(2).

The National Emission Standards for
Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP), for Hydrochloric Acid Production
(40 CFR Part 63, Subpart NNNNN) were proposed on September 18,
2001, promulgated on April 17, 2003, and amended on April 7, 2006.
These regulations apply to existing and new hydrochloric acid (HCI)
production facilities. New facilities include those that commenced
construction or reconstruction after the date of proposal. This
information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR
Part 63, Subpart NNNNN. 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 compliance, and are required of all
affected facilities subject to NESHAP.
There is an adjustment decrease
in burden and costs from the most recently-approved ICR. The
adjustment decrease in burden is due to more accurate estimates of
existing and anticipated new sources, which are based on EPAs
recent re-evaluation of the source category inventory as part of a
proposed rulemaking and risk and technology review for 40 CFR 63,
Subpart NNNNN. We have also corrected the previous assumption that
existing respondents would record startup, shutdown, and
malfunction events 100 times per year. Based on information
received from industry in the development of the proposed risk and
technology review, this assumption has been corrected to 10 times
per year. Further, as a result of the decrease in existing and new
sources, there is also an adjustment decrease in the number of
total annual responses and the capital and operating and
maintenance costs.
