Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: Yes

Burden Reduction Due to: Miscellaneous Actions

Short Statement: There is a decrease in the respondent and Agency burden as a result of the PVC NESHAP standard at 40 CFR part 63, subpart HHHHHHH. Beginning in April 17, 2015, 12 of the existing vinyl chloride plants will comply with the part 63 rule, and will no longer be subject to the part 61 NESHAP. Therefore, we expect a decrease in the number of respondents beginning in Year 2 of this ICR period. In addition, we have updated the number of existing sources from 28 in the previous ICR to 26 based on latest Agency estimates for this industry.
