SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) Emissions Standards for the
Polymer Manufacturing Industry, Subpart DDD, OMB Control No. 2060-
[[Page 52450]]
0145; EPA ICR No. 1150.04. expiring November 30, 1996. This is a
request for an extension of a currently approved collection.
Abstract: The Agency uses the information required by 40 CFR part
60, Subpart DDD to identify sources subject to the standards and to
ensure that the best demonstrated technology is being properly applied.
The standards require periodic recordkeeping to document process
information relating to the sources' ability to meet the requirements
of the standard and to note the operation conditions under which
compliance was achieved.
Owners or operators of the affected facilities described must make
the following one-time-only reports: notification of the date of
construction or reconstruction; notification of the anticipated and
actual dates of startup; notification of any physical or operational
change to an existing facility which may increase the regulated
pollutant emission rate; notification of the date of the initial
performance test; and the results of the initial performance test.
Owners or operators 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 required, in general, of all sources subject to New Source
Performance Standards.
An Agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required
to respond to a collection of information unless it displays a
currently valid OMB control number. The OMB control numbers for EPA's
regulations are listed in 40 CFR Part 9. The Federal Register Notice
with a 60-day comment period soliciting comments on this collection of
information was published on 06/11/96 (FR 14681).
Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 51.8
hours per response. This estimate includes the time needed to review
instructions; develop, acquire, install, and utilize technology and
systems for the purposes of collecting, validating, and verifying
information, processing and maintaining information, and disclosing and
providing information; adjust the existing ways to comply with any
previously applicable instructions and requirements; train personnel to
be able to respond to a collection of information; search data sources;
complete and review the collection of information; and transmit or
otherwise disclose the information.
Affected Entities: Polymer manufacturers.
Estimated No. of Respondents: 90.
Estimated Total Annual Burden on Respondents: 12,425 hours.
Frequency of Collection: Semiannual.
Send comments on the Agency's need for the information in this
collection, the accuracy of the provided burden estimates, and any

the use of automated collection techniques to the following addresses.
