[top] Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Flexible Polyurethane Foam Product (40 CFR part 63, subpart III) apply to owners or operators of both new and existing facilities that engage in the manufacture of flexible polyurethane foam products which emit hazardous air pollutants (HAPs). This includes facilities making slabstock flexible polyurethane foam (slabstock foam), rebond flexible polyurethane foam (rebond foam), and/or molded flexible polyurethane foam (molded foam). In general, all NESHAP standards require initial notifications, performance tests, and periodic reports by the owners/operators of the affected facilities. Owners or operators of flexible polyurethane foam production
Form Numbers: None.
Respondents/affected entities: Slabstock foam and molded and rebond foam producers.
Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 63, subpart III).
Estimated number of respondents: 12 (total).
Frequency of response: Semiannually and annually.
Total estimated burden: 869 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
Total estimated cost: $102,000 (per year), which includes $0 annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs.
Changes in the Estimates: There is no change in burden from the most-recently approved ICR as currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved Burdens. This is due to two considerations: (1) The regulations have not changed over the past three years and are not anticipated to change over the next three years; and the growth rate for this industry is very low or non-existent, so there is no significant change in the overall burden. Since there are no changes in the regulatory requirements and there is no significant industry growth, there are also no changes in the capital/startup or operation and maintenance (O&M) costs.

Director, Regulatory Support Division.
