NATIONAL EMISSION STANDARDS FOR HAZARDOUS AIR POLLUTANTS (NESHAP) FOR AREA SOURCES:  ACRYLIC AND MODACRYLIC FIBERS PRODUCTION, CARBON BLACK PRODUCTION, CHEMICAL MANUFACTURING: CHROMIUM COMPOUNDS, FLEXIBLE POLYURETHANE FOAM PRODUCTION AND FABRICATION, LEAD ACID BATTERY MANUFACTURING, AND WOOD PRESERVING

PART A

1.0  Identification of the Information Collection

(a) Title and Number of the Information Collection.

	“NESHAP for Area Sources:  Acrylic and Modacrylic Fibers Production, Carbon Black Production, Chemical Manufacturing: Chromium Compounds, Flexible Polyurethane Foam Production and Fabrication, Lead Acid Battery Manufacturing, and Wood Preserving.”  This is a new information collection request (ICR) and the EPA tracking number is 2240.01.

 (b) Short Characterization.

	This ICR covers information collection requirements in the final area source rules for

acrylic and modacrylic fibers production (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart LLLLLL), carbon black production (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart MMMMMM), chemical manufacturing: chromium compounds (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart NNNNNN), flexible polyurethane foam production and fabrication (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart OOOOOO), lead acid battery manufacturing (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart PPPPPP), and wood preserving (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart QQQQQQ).

	The first type of potential respondents is owners or operators of any existing or new acrylic or modacrylic fibers production plant that is an area source of hazardous air pollutants (HAP) emissions.  The one existing area source is already subject to emissions limits and other requirements that are the same as those in this final NESHAP.  These include numerical limits for acrylonitrile emissions from the control devices (packed column scrubbers) for polymerization process equipment (e.g., reactors, feed tanks) and monomer recovery process equipment such as polymer holding tanks; operating limits for the scrubbers; and requirements in 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart Kb pertaining to volatile organic liquids in acrylonitrile storage tanks.  The final standards for new area source acrylic or modacrylic fibers production plants apply to process vents, fiber spinning lines, storage tanks, process and maintenance wastewater, and equipment leaks.  These include numerical limits for acrylonitrile emissions from these sources and various testing, monitoring, and recordkeeping requirements.  Compliance requirements for all sources include an initial notification of applicability, a notification of compliance status, and a startup shutdown malfunction (SSM) plan.

	The second type of potential respondents is owners or operators of any existing or new carbon black production plant that is an area source of HAP emissions.  There are no existing area sources.  The final rule for existing sources includes requirements to reduce emissions from carbon black production units by using either a flare or by venting through a closed vent system to a control device that reduces emissions by 98 weight-percent or to a HAP concentration of 20 Parts per million by volume (ppmv).  Area sources are also required to monitor operating parameters specific to the type of control device being used.  The requirements for new area source carbon black production plants are the same as those for existing plants.  Compliance requirements include an initial notification, a notification of compliance status, periodic reports, and an SSM plan.

The third type of potential respondents is owners or operators of area source facilities that use chromite ore as the basic feedstock to manufacture chromium compounds, primarily sodium dichromate, chromic acid, and chromic oxide.  There are only two plants in this area source category, and both are already subject to particulate matter (PM) control requirements that are the same as those in the final NESHAP.  Sources will be subject to PM emissions limits and inspection and maintenance requirements specific to the type of control device.  Compliance requirements include an initial notification of applicability, a notification of compliance status, and an SSM plan.

The fourth type of potential respondents is owners or operators of area source facilities that manufacture or fabricate flexible polyurethane foam.  There are hundreds of plants in this area source category, but almost all of them have already discontinued use of the urban HAP of interest, methylene chloride.  Use of materials containing methylene chloride is forbidden for mixhead flush, mold release agents, and equipment cleaning at slabstock, molded, and rebond foam production facilities.  Foam fabrication facilities are forbidden to use adhesives containing methylene chloride.  Compliance requirements for molded and rebond foam facilities, and foam fabrication facilities not operating loop slitters include only recordkeeping requirements.  Compliance requirements for foam fabrication facilities operating loop slitters include a notification of compliance status.   Emissions limits are established for HAP emissions from auxiliary blowing agents (ABA) used in production lines at slabstock foam production facilities, using a formula which takes into account the variable amount of ABA used to produce different grades of foam.  Compliance requirements for slabstock foam facilities using no methylene chloride include a notification of compliance status.  Compliance requirements for slabstock foam production facilities using HAP-containing ABA include an initial notification, a pre-compliance report, a notification of compliance status, semiannual reports, and an annual compliance certification.

	The fifth type of potential respondents is owners or operators of any existing or new lead acid battery manufacturing facility that is an area source of HAP emissions.  The 60 existing facilities are already subject to or able to meet the emission limits and other requirements of the new source performance standards (NSPS) for lead acid batteries in 40 CFR 60.372 of Subpart KK.  The lead acid battery NSPS emission limits are the same as those in this NESHAP.  These include numerical emissions limits for grid casting, paste mixing, three-process operation, lead oxide manufacturing, lead reclamation, and other lead emitting processes.  This final NESHAP requires control by fabric filters for the paste mixing, three-process operation, lead oxide manufacturing, and other lead-emitting processes and by impingement scrubber for the grid casting and lead reclamation processes.  The NESHAP adds the periodic monitoring and semi-annual inspection of fabric filters and the semi-annual reporting requirements found in State permits.  The requirements for new area source lead acid battery manufacturing facilities are the same as those for existing facilities.  Compliance requirements include an initial notification, a notification of compliance status, performance testing if recent test reports are not available, periodic monitoring, semi-annual inspection of fabric filters, and semi-annual reporting.

The sixth type of potential respondents is owners or operators of area source facilities that use pressure or thermal processes to impregnate chemicals into wood to a depth that will provide effective long-term resistance to attack by fungi, bacteria, insects, and marine borers.  Existing facilities in the wood preserving source category are currently well controlled in terms of urban metal HAP emissions as a result of a voluntary decision by the industry to discontinue the consumer uses of chromated copper arsenate (CCA).  All sources will be required to submit an initial notification, a notification of compliance status, and a compliance report within 30 days of a deviation from prohibitions.  No other recordkeeping or reporting requirements in the General Provisions apply to facilities in this area source category.

	New and existing area sources (except as specifically excluded) are subject to requirements in the General Provisions (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart A).  An existing affected source would be required to submit an initial notification of applicability and a notification of compliance status.  The owner or operator of an existing affected source is allowed to certify initial compliance based on previous performance test results; performance tests are required to demonstrate initial compliance for a new affected source   The owner or operator of an existing affected source (except as specifically excluded) are also required to comply with the requirements for SSM plans and reports in 40 CFR 63.6(e)(3).  All requirements in the General Provisions apply to the owner or operator of a new affected source.

The information collection requirements for existing and new area sources are listed in Attachments 1A and 1B.

2.  Need For and Use of the Collection

(a)	Need/Authority for the Collection.

	Section 112 of the Clean Air Act (CAA) requires EPA to establish NESHAP for both major and area sources of HAP that are listed for regulation under CAA section 112(c).  An area source is a stationary source that is not a major source (i.e., an area source does not emit and does not have the potential to emit more than 10 tons per year of any single HAP or more than 25 tons per year of any combination of HAP).  Requirements for area sources in CAA sections 112(c)(3) and 112(k) direct EPA to (1)  identify at least 30 air toxics that present the greatest potential health threat in the largest number of urban areas and (2) to identify sufficient area source categories to ensure that sources representing 90 percent or more of the of the emissions of the 30 “listed” HAP are subject to regulation.  EPA implements these requirements through the Integrated Urban Air Toxics Strategy (64 FR 38715, July 19, 1999).  Each of the source categories included in the final NESHAP are on the Integrated Urban Air Toxics Strategy Area Source Category List.

Under  CAA section 112(d)(5), we may elect to promulgate HAP standards for area sources based on the use of generally available control technology (GACT) or management practices used by the sources.  We can consider costs and economic impacts in determining GACT, which is particularly important when developing regulations for source categories that may have few establishments and many small businesses, or when determining whether additional control is needed for sources that are already well-controlled as a result of other air emissions standards.

 Facilities in these source categories are currently well controlled as a result of State and national standards and permitting requirements for criteria pollutants that obtain co-control of HAP.  There is only one area source plant in the U.S. in the acrylic and modacrylic fibers source category, and this plant is currently subject to State permit requirements.  There are no existing area sources in the carbon black source category.  The two area source plants that manufacture chromium compounds are well controlled as a result of title V permit requirements.  Of the 60 area source plants in the lead acid battery manufacturing category, we believe all are already subject to (or can achieve) the emission requirements of the NSPS for lead-acid battery manufacturing plants at 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart KK and estimate 90 percent (54) are already meeting the NESHAP fabric filter monitoring and the reporting requirements through their State permits.

There are hundreds of facilities in the flexible polyurethane foam and fabrication area source categories.  The vast majority of these facilities no longer use methylene chloride in the processes for several reasons, including State and national air emission standards and worker exposure limits established by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).  For the purposes of this estimate, we have assumed that there are 50 area source slabstock foam production facilities in the country, including one which still uses methylene chloride as an ABA.

There are approximately 400 area source facilities in the wood preserving area source category.  All of these facilities are well controlled in terms of metal HAP (i.e., chromium and arsenic) emissions as a result of a February 2002 voluntary decision by the industry to discontinue the consumer uses of chromated copper arsenate as a wood preservative.  These facilities have also discontinued the use of methylene chloride.

	Certain records and reports are necessary for the Administrator to confirm the compliance status of area sources, identify any new or reconstructed sources subject to the standards, and confirm that the standards are being achieved on a continuous basis.  These recordkeeping and reporting requirements are specifically authorized by section 114 of the Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C. 7414) and set out in the Part 63 NESHAP General Provisions.  The recordkeeping and reporting requirements for title V permits are contained in 40 CFR 70.6 and 40 CFR 71.6.   Under Parts 63 and 70 or 71, the owner or operator must keep each record for 5 years following the date of each occurrence, measurement, maintenance, corrective action, report, or record.

 (b)	Use/Users of the Data.

	The information will be used by the delegated authority (State agency or Regional Administrator if there is no delegated State agency) to ensure that the emissions limits and other requirements are being achieved.  Based on review of the recorded information at the site and the reported information, the delegated permitting authority can identify facilities that may not be in compliance and decide which plants, records, or processes may need inspection.

3.	Nonduplication, Consultations, and Other Collection Criteria

(a)	Nonduplication.

A computer search of EPA's ongoing ICR's revealed no duplication of information-gathering efforts.

 (b)  Public Notice Required Prior to ICR Submission to OMB.

	This section is not applicable because this is a rule-related ICR.

(c)	Consultations.

The final rules were developed in consultation with individual plants, State agencies, and trade associations.  The non-EPA persons consulted on the information collection activities are identified in Table 1.

	None of the guidelines in 5 CFR 1320.6 are being exceeded.

(f)	Confidentiality.

	All information submitted to the Agency for which a claim of confidentiality is made will be safeguarded according to the Agency policies set forth in Title 40, Chapter 1, Part 2, Subpart B -- Confidentiality of Business Information (see 40 CFR 2; 41 FR 36902, September 1, 1976; amended by 43 FR 39999, September 28, 1978; 43 FR 42251, September 28, 1978; 44 FR 17674, March 23, 1979).

(g)  Sensitive Questions.

	This section is not applicable because this ICR does not involve matters of a sensitive nature.

4.	The Respondents and the Information Requested

(a)	Respondents/NAICS Codes.

	Potential respondents under Subpart LLLLLL are owners or operators of any existing or new acrylic or modacrylic fibers production plant that is an area source of HAP emissions.  The one existing area source is already subject to emissions limits and other requirements that are the same as those in the final NESHAP.  The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for acrylic or modacrylic fibers production plants is 325222.  We estimate that one existing source will be subject to the final NESHAP; no new area sources are projected during the 3 year period of this ICR.

Potential respondents under Subpart MMMMMM are owners or operators of any existing or new area source facilities that manufacture carbon black using the furnace, thermal, or acetylene decomposition process.  The NAICS code for carbon black production is 325182.  Based on public comments, we learned there are no existing area sources.  No new area sources are projected during the 3 year period of this ICR.

Potential respondents under Subpart NNNNNN are owners or operators of area source facilities that use chromite ore as the basic feedstock to manufacture chromium compounds, primarily sodium dichromate, chromic acid, and chromic oxide.  Chromium products are contained in NAICS code 325188.  There are only two existing plants; no new area sources are expected during the 3-year period of this ICR.

Potential respondents under Subpart OOOOOO are owners or operators of existing or new area source facilities that either manufacture foam from polyurethane polymer or cut or bond flexible polyurethane foam pieces together or to other substrates.  The NAICS code for flexible polyurethane foam production and fabrication is 326150.  We estimate that 500 or more existing sources will be subject to the final NESHAP; no new area sources are projected during the 3 year period of this ICR.

Potential respondents under Subpart PPPPPP are owners or operators of existing or new area source facilities that manufacture lead acid storage batteries made from lead alloy ingots and lead oxide.  The NAICS code for lead acid battery manufacturing is 335911.  We estimate that 60 existing sources will be subject to the final NESHAP; no new area sources are projected during the 3 year period of this ICR.

Potential respondents under Subpart QQQQQQ are owners or operators of area source facilities that use pressure or thermal processes to impregnate chemicals into wood to a depth that will provide effective long-term resistance to attack by fungi, bacteria, insects, and marine borers.  The NAICS code for wood preserving is 321114.  There are approximately 400 area source facilities in the wood preserving area source category; no new area sources are expected during the 3 year period of this ICR.

(b) Information Requested.

	(i)  Data Items, Including Recordkeeping Requirements.  Attachments 1A and 1B, Source Data and Information Requirements, summarizes the data items, including recordkeeping and reporting requirements.

	(ii)  Respondent Activities.  The respondent activities required by the final rules are identified in Tables 2A, 2B, 2C, 2D, 2E, and 2F and are introduced in section 6(a).

5.	The Information Collected–Agency Activities, Collection Methodology, and Information Management

(a)	Agency Activities.

	The Agency activities are provided in Tables 3A, 3B, 3C, 3D, 3E, and 3F and are introduced in section 6(c).

(b)	Collection Methodology and Management.

	Data and records maintained by the respondents are tabulated and published for use in compliance and enforcement programs of the delegated permitting authority.  The monitoring reports submitted to the permitting authority are used for problem identification, as a check on source operation and maintenance, and for compliance determinations.  EPA is the permitting authority until the State agency is delegated authority to implement the final rule.  Therefore, information contained in the reports submitted to the Regional Administrator will be entered into the Air Facility System (AFS), which is operated and maintained by EPA's Office of Compliance.  AFS is EPA’s database for the collection, maintenance, and retrieval of compliance data for approximately 125,000 industrial and government-owned facilities.  EPA uses the AFS for tracking air pollution compliance and enforcement by local and state regulatory agencies, EPA regional offices and EPA headquarters.  EPA and its delegated authorities can edit, store, retrieve and analyze the data.

(c)  Small Entity Flexibility.

	The Small Business Administration defines a small entity as a firm having no more than 1,000 employees (for the acrylic and modacrylic fibers production facilities and chromium compound production facilities) or 500 employees (for the production of carbon black, flexible polyurethane foam, lead acid batteries, and for the wood preserving industry).  There will not be adverse impacts on any small entities in any of the seven source categories because the final rules do not create any new requirements or burdens for existing sources other than minimal notification, reporting, and recordkeeping requirements.

(d)  Collection Schedule.

	The specific frequency for each information collection activity within this request is shown in Tables 2A, 2B, 2C, 2D, 2E, and 2F.

6.   Estimating the Burden and Cost of the Collection

(a)  Estimating Respondent Burden.

	The annual burden estimates for the final NESHAP are shown in Tables 2A (for Subpart LLLLLL), 2B (for Subpart NNNNNN), 2C (for Subpart OOOOOO), 2D (for Subpart PPPPPP), and 2E (for Subpart QQQQQQ).  These numbers were derived from estimates based on EPA’s experience with other standards.  No burden estimates are provided for new area sources because no new facilities are expected during the 3-year period of this ICR.

(b)  Estimating Respondent Costs.

	The information collection activities for the final NESHAP are presented in Tables 2A, 2B, 2C, 2D, and 2E.  Because the data are already collected by respondents as required by the existing permit requirements, no respondent development costs are associated with the information collection activities.

(i)  Estimating Labor Costs.  Labor rates and associated costs are based on Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) data.  Technical, management, and clerical average hourly rates for private industry workers were taken from the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, December 2006, “Table 2. Civilian Workers, by occupational and industry group” available at   HYPERLINK "http://www.bls.gov/news.release/ecec.t02.htm"  http://www.bls.gov/news.release/ecec.t02.htm .  Wages for occupational groups are used as the basis for the labor rates with a total compensation of $41.89/hour for technical, $48.09/hour for managerial, and $20.86/hour for clerical.  These rates represent salaries plus fringe benefits and do not include the cost of overhead.  An overhead rate of 110 percent is used to account for these costs.  The fully-burdened hourly wage rates used to represent respondent labor costs are:  technical at $87.98, management at $100.98, and clerical at $43.80.

	(ii)  Estimating Capital and Operations and Maintenance (O&M) Costs.  The final NESHAP do not require the installation of any new control devices or monitoring systems at existing facilities with the exception of fabric filter monitoring for lead acid battery manufacturers.  We estimate six facilities will need to have initial labor costs to provide training to meet the periodic and semi-annual monitoring and inspection requirements of the lead acid battery manufacturing area source NESHAP.   Capital and O&M costs are not estimated for new sources because no new sources are expected during the next 3-year period.

	(iii)  Capital/Startup vs. O&M Costs.  Capital/startup costs for existing lead acid battery manufacturing area sources are estimated at $4,840 for 55 hours of training at $88 per hour.  No other final NESHAP require the installation of any new control devices or monitoring systems.  Capital/startup costs are not estimated for new sources because no new sources are expected during the next 3-year period.  Therefore, capital/startup costs associated with the final NESHAP are $4,840 during the 3-year period of this ICR.

	(iv)  Annualizing Capital Costs.  The annualized costs associated with the final NESHAP during the 3-year period of this ICR are $800 for the initial labor costs for the lead acid battery manufacturing area source fabric filter monitoring and inspection requirements.

(c)  Estimating Agency Burden and Cost.

	Because the information collection requirements were developed as an incidental part of standards development, no costs can be attributed to the development of the information collection requirements.  Because reporting and recordkeeping requirements on the part of the respondents are required under the operating permits rules in 40 CFR Part 70 or Part 71 and the Part 63 NESHAP General Provisions, no operational costs would be incurred by the Federal Government.  Publication and distribution of the information are part of the Compliance Data System, with the result that no Federal costs can be directly attributed to the ICR.  Examination of records to be maintained by the respondents will occur incidentally as part of the periodic inspection of sources that is part of EPA's overall compliance and enforcement program, and, therefore, is not attributable to the ICR.  The only costs that the Federal government will incur are user costs associated with the analysis of the reported information, as presented in Tables 3A, 3B, 3C, 3D, and 3E.

	The Agency labor rates are from the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) 2006 General Schedule which excludes locality rates of pay.  These rates can be obtained from Salary Table 2006-GS available on the OPM website,   HYPERLINK "http://www.opm.gov/oca/06tables/html/gs_h.asp"  http://www.opm.gov/oca/06tables/html/gs_h.asp . The government employee labor rates are $14.35/hour for clerical (GS-6, Step 3), $26.53 for technical (GS-12, Step 1), and $35.75/hr for management (GS-13, Step 5).  These rates were increased by 60 percent to include fringe benefits and overhead.  The fully-burdened wage rates used to represent Agency labor costs are:  clerical at $22.96; technical at $42.45, and management at $57.20.

(d) 	Estimating the Respondent Universe and Total Burden and Costs.

There is one existing acrylic and modacrylic fiber production area source facility.  No new sources are expected during the next 3 years.  Consequently, the average number of respondents during the 3 year period of this ICR is 0.33.  There are no existing carbon black production area sources, and no new sources are expected during the next 3 years.  Consequently, the average number of respondents during the 3 year period of this ICR is 0.  There are two existing chromium compound manufacturing area sources.  No new sources are expected during the next 3 years.  Consequently, the average number of respondents during the 3 year period of this ICR is 0.67.  There are approximately 500 existing flexible polyurethane foam production and fabrication area sources.  No new sources are expected during the next 3 years.  Consequently, the average number of respondents during the 3 year period of this ICR is 166.67.  Forty-nine slabstock foam production area sources are subject to reporting requirements (notification of compliance status) that the other foam facilities are not.  The average number of respondents required to submit a notification of compliance status during the 3 year period of this ICR is 16.33.  A single slabstock foam production plant which still uses methylene chloride is projected to have a higher burden than the other plants due to burden items resulting from additional rule requirements.  There are 60 existing lead acid battery manufacturing area sources.  No new sources are expected during the next 3 years.  Consequently, the average number of respondents during the 3 year period of this ICR is 20.  There are 393 existing wood preserving area sources.  No new sources are expected during the next 3 years.  Consequently, the average number of respondents during the 3 year period of this ICR is 131.  The total average number of respondents for all source categories is 0.33 + 0.67 + 166.67 + 20 + 131 = 319.

The only components of the total annual responses attributable to this ICR are the SSM plan for some plants, two one-time initial notifications for each existing facility, and semi-annual reports for six lead acid battery plants and one chromium plant.

The number of total annual responses for Subpart LLLLLL (acrylic and modacrylic fibers production area sources) is estimated as:  (0.33 annual average respondents × 1 notification) + (0.33 annual average respondents × 1 notification) + (0.33 annual average respondents × 1 written plan).   Therefore, the number of total annual responses for Subpart LLLLLL is 1.

The number of total annual responses for Subpart MMMMMM (carbon black production area sources) is estimated as 0.

The number of total annual responses for Subpart NNNNNN (chemical manufacturing: chromium compounds area sources) is estimated as:  (0.67 annual average respondents × 1 notification) + (0.67 annual average respondents × 1 notification) + (0.67 annual average respondents × 1 written plan).  Therefore, the number of total annual responses for Subpart NNNNNN is 2.

The number of total annual responses for Subpart OOOOOO (flexible polyurethane foam production and fabrication area sources) is estimated as:  (16.33 annual average* respondents × 1 notification) + (0.33 annual average respondents × 5 notifications).   Therefore, the number of total annual responses for Subpart OOOOOO is 18.

The number of total annual responses for Subpart PPPPPP (lead acid battery manufacturing area sources) is estimated as:  (20 annual average respondents × 1 notification) + (20 annual average respondents × 1 notification) + (5 annual average respondents x 1 performance test) + (6 annual average respondents × 2 semi-annual reports).   Therefore, the number of total annual responses for Subpart PPPPPP is 57.

The number of total annual responses for Subpart QQQQQQ (wood preserving area sources) is estimated as:  (131 annual average respondents × 1 notification) + (131 annual average respondents × 1 notification).   Therefore, the number of total annual responses for Subpart QQQQQQ is 262.

The total number of responses for the combined source categories is 336.

 (e)	Bottom Line Burden Hours and Cost Tables.

	(i)  Respondent tally.  The bottom line respondent burden hours and costs, presented in Tables 2A, 2B, 2C, 2D, and 2E are calculated by adding person-hours per year down each column for technical, managerial, and clerical staff, and by adding down the cost column.

The average annual burden for the monitoring, recordkeeping, and reporting requirements in Subpart LLLLLL for the one existing acrylic and modacrylic production area source is 9 person hours with an annual average cost of $780 with no capital and O&M costs.

The average annual burden for the monitoring, recordkeeping, and reporting requirements in Subpart MMMMMM for existing carbon black manufacturing area sources is 0.

The average annual burden for the monitoring, recordkeeping, and reporting requirements in Subpart NNNNNN for the two existing chromium chemical compound production area sources is 194 person hours with an annual average cost of $16,409 with no capital and O&M costs.

The average annual burden for the monitoring, recordkeeping, and reporting requirements in Subpart OOOOOO for the 500+ existing flexible polyurethane production and fabrication area sources is 925 person hours with an annual average cost of $78,337 with no capital and O&M costs.

The average annual burden for the monitoring, recordkeeping, and reporting requirements in Subpart PPPPPP 60 existing lead acid battery manufacturing area sources is 2,032 person hours with an annual average cost of $172,477 with capital/O&M costs of $4,840 for initial labor costs.

The average annual burden for the monitoring, recordkeeping, and reporting requirements in Subpart QQQQQQ for the 393 existing wood preserving area sources is 1,055 person hours with an annual average cost of $89,324 with no capital and O&M costs.

The total annual burden for all source categories is 3,985 hours at $337,816 with no capital and O&M costs.

	(ii)  The Agency tally.  The total annual Federal Government cost is $47,099 for 1,143 total annual hours.  The bottom line Agency burden hours and costs presented in Tables 3A, 3B, 3C, 3D, and 3E are calculated by adding person-hours per year down each column for technical, managerial, and clerical staff, and by adding down the cost column.

	(iii)  Variations in the annual bottom line.   This section does not apply since no significant variation is anticipated.

(f)	Reasons for Change in Burden.

	This section does not apply because this is a new ICR.

 (g)  Burden Statement

	The average annual respondent burden for the final NESHAP for acrylic and modacrylic production area sources is estimated at 9 hours.  The average annual respondent burden for the final NESHAP for carbon black manufacturing area sources is estimated at 9 hours.  The average annual respondent burden for the final NESHAP for chromium chemical compound production area sources is estimated at 179 hours.  The average annual respondent burden for the final NESHAP for flexible polyurethane production and fabrication area sources is estimated at 925 hours.  The average annual respondent burden for the final NESHAP for lead acid battery manufacturing area sources is estimated at 1,802 hours.  The average annual respondent burden for the final NESHAP for wood preserving area sources is estimated at 1,055 hours.

    In its filing with the Commission, the self-regulatory organization
included statements concerning the purpose of, and basis for, the
proposed rule change and discussed any comments it received on the
proposed rule change. The text of those statements may be examined at
the places specified in Item IV below. The Exchange has prepared
summaries, set forth in sections A, B, and C below, of the most
significant parts of such statements.

A. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and the
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

1. Purpose
    The Exchange proposes to amend its rules to delete the term
``allied person'' from its rules. The ``allied person'' designation is
a regulatory category based on a person's control of an OTP Firm or ETP
Holder.\4\ The Exchange's affiliate New York Stock Exchange LLC (the
``NYSE'') no longer has allied members.\5\ More recently, another
affiliate of the Exchange, NYSE American LLC (``NYSE American''),
deleted the term ``allied member'' from its rules.\6\ FINRA has also
deleted the term from its Incorporated NYSE Rules.\7\ In order to
harmonize with the rules of the NYSE, NYSE American and FINRA, the
Exchange accordingly proposes to delete reference to ``allied person''
from the following Exchange rules: Rule 1.1(c), Rule 1.1(qq), Rule
1.1(aaa), Rule 2.14, Rule 2.21, Rule 2.23, Commentary .01, Rule 2.24,
Commentary .01, Rule 3.2, Rule 4.2-O(a), Rule 4.2-O(b), Rule 4.2-O(e),
Rule 4.2-O(g), Rule 4.2-O(h), Rule 4.16-O(b), Rule 4.16-O(c), Rule
4.16-O(d), Rule 6.2-O, Rule 9.1-O(c), Rule 9.2-O(c), Commentary .01,
Rule 9.3-O(b), Rule 9.6-O(a), Rule 4.3-E(a), Rule 4.3-E(b), Rule 4.3-
E(e), Rule 4.3-E(h), Rule 4.3-E(i), Rule 4.15-E(b), Rule 4.15-E(c),
Rule 4.15-E(d), Rule 7.3-E, Rule 9.1-E(c), Rule 9.2-E(c), Commentary
.01, Rule 9.3-E(b) and Rule 9.6-E(a). The Exchange also proposes to
delete Rule 1.1(b), which defines the term allied person, in its
entirety.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ See current Rule 1.1(b), defining Allied Person.
    \5\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 58549 (September 15,
2008), 73 FR 54444 (September 19, 2008) (SR-NYSE-2008-80) (Notice).
    \6\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 84724 (December 6,
2018), 83 FR 63960 (December 12, 2018) (SR-NYSEAmer-2018-54)
(Notice).
    \7\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 58533 (September 12,
2008), 73 FR 54652 (September 22, 2008) (SR-FINRA-2008-036) (Order).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Statutory Basis
    The proposed rule change is consistent with Section 6(b) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the ``Act''),\8\ in general, and
furthers the objectives of Section 6(b)(5),\9\ in particular, because
it is designed to prevent fraudulent and manipulative acts and
practices, to promote just and equitable principles of trade, to foster
cooperation and coordination with persons engaged in facilitating
transactions in securities, to remove impediments to, and perfect the
mechanism of, a free and open market and a national market system and,
in general, to protect investors and the public interest.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \8\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b).
    \9\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change will harmonize
its rules with NYSE, NYSE American and FINRA rules, thus assisting ETP
Holders, OTP Holders and OTP Firms in complying with those rules and
thereby enhancing regulatory efficiency. In addition, the Exchange
believes that providing greater harmonization between the Exchange and
NYSE, NYSE American and FINRA rules would result

in less burdensome and more efficient regulatory compliance for ETP
Holders, OTP Holders and OTP Firms that are subject to regulatory
examination and oversight, thereby removing impediments to and
perfecting the mechanism of a free and open market and a national
market system, consistent with the objectives of Section 6(b)(5) of the
Act. Additionally, the Exchange believes that deletion of the term
``allied person'' is consistent with the Act because the Exchange no
longer recognizes allied person as a registration category and no ETP
Holder, OTP Holder or OTP Firm is currently registered as an allied
person. Accordingly, deletion of the term from the Exchange's rules
will provide clarity and remove any potential confusion among potential
ETP Holders, OTP Holders or OTP Firms as to the category of memberships
and registration requirements on the Exchange.

B. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Burden on Competition

    The Exchange does not believe that the proposed rule change will
impose any burden on competition that is not necessary or appropriate
in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. The proposed amendments are
intended to promote clarity to the Exchange's rules applicable to ETP
Holders, OTP Holders and OTP Firms and their registered personnel.
Further, the proposed changes would apply to all ETP Holders, OTP
Holders and OTP Firms in the same manner and therefore would not impose
any unnecessary intramarket burdens.

C. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Comments on the Proposed
Rule Change Received from Members, Participants, or Others

    No written comments were solicited or received with respect to the
proposed rule change.

III. Date of Effectiveness of the Proposed Rule Change and Timing for
Commission Action

    The Exchange has filed the proposed rule change pursuant to Section
19(b)(3)(A)(iii) of the Act \10\ and Rule 19b-4(f)(6) thereunder.\11\
Because the proposed rule change does not: (i) Significantly affect the
protection of investors or the public interest; (ii) impose any
significant burden on competition; and (iii) become operative prior to
30 days from the date on which it was filed, or such shorter time as
the Commission may designate, if consistent with the protection of
investors and the public interest, the proposed rule change has become
effective pursuant to Section 19(b)(3)(A) of the Act and Rule 19bd-
4(f)(6)(iii) thereunder.\12\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \10\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(3)(A)(iii).
    \11\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6).
    \12\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4(f)(6)(iii). In addition, Rule 19b-4(f)(6)
requires a self-regulatory organization to give the Commission
written notice of its intent to file the proposed rule change at
least five business days prior to the date of filing of the proposed
rule change, or such shorter time as designated by the Commission.
The Exchange has satisfied this requirement.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    At any time within 60 days of the filing of such proposed rule
change, the Commission summarily may temporarily suspend such rule
change if it appears to the Commission that such action is necessary or
appropriate in the public interest, for the protection of investors, or
otherwise in furtherance of the purposes of the Act. If the Commission
takes such action, the Commission shall institute proceedings under
Section 19(b)(2)(B) \13\ of the Act to determine whether the proposed
rule change should be approved or disapproved.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \13\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(2)(B).
