Upon
resubmission, the agency must update the burden estimates to
accurately reflect the number of respondents in industry and verify
that there are no reporting or recordkeeping requirements for
States in 40 CFR part 63, subpart DDDD. The agency must also ensure
that burden is calculated for all of the requirements and that the
requirements and burden tables are consistent throughout the
supporting statement. The agency must provide screen shots of the
electronic mode of collection 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 Plywood and Composite
Products (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart DDDD) apply to both new and
existing plywood and composite wood products (PCWP) facilities that
are a major source of hazardous air pollutants (HAP). A PCWP
manufacturing facility is a major source of HAP emissions either in
and of itself, or because it is located with other major sources of
HAP. A PCWP manufacturing facility is a facility that manufactures
plywood and/or composite wood products by bonding wood material
(fibers, particles, strands, veneers, etc.) or agricultural fiber,
generally with resin under heat and pressure, to form a structural
panel or engineered wood product. Plywood and composite wood
products manufacturing facilities also include facilities that
manufacture dry veneer and lumber kilns located at any facility.
Plywood and composite wood products include, but are not limited
to, plywood, veneer, particleboard, oriented strandboard,
hardboard, fiberboard, medium density fiberboard, laminated strand
lumber, laminated veneer lumber, wood I-joists, kiln-dried lumber,
and glue-laminated beams. New facilities include those that
commenced construction, or reconstruction after January 9, 2003.
This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40
CFR Part 63, Subpart DDDD. 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 increase
in the total estimated burden as currently identified in the OMB
Inventory of Approved Burdens. This increase is not due to any
program changes. The adjustment increase in burden is due to
several factors. The Agency developed a more accurate estimate of
existing and anticipated new sources during the development of the
proposed Risk and Technology Review for this subpart. The increase
in the number of existing sources led to an increase in burden
hours and costs for labor and operation and maintenance. The
increase in the number of new sources led to an increase in burden
hours and costs for labor, capital, performance testing, and
operation and maintenance. New sources are required to purchase and
install CMS, conduct performance testing, and send several
notifications and reports to EPA. O&M costs for existing
sources were updated to reflect more accurate costs for these
O&M activities. Also, in the previous ICR, it was assumed that
only 10% of sources kept daily records of continuous compliance and
annual records of calibration of their CMS; we have corrected this
assumption to reflect that 100% of PCWP facilities keep these
records. The overall result is an increase in burden hours and
costs.
