ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
[FRL-7383-3]
Agency Information Collection Activities: Request for Comments on
Fourteen Proposed Information Collection Requests (ICRs)
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: In compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501
et seq.), this document announces that EPA (the Agency) is planning to
submit the fourteen continuing Information Collection Requests (ICRs)
listed in Section A of this notice to the Office of Management and
Budget (OMB). Before submitting the ICRs to OMB for review and
approval, EPA is soliciting comments on specific aspects of the
information collections as described at the beginning of the
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION provided in this notice.
DATES: Comments must be submitted on or before November 26, 2002.
ADDRESSES: Compliance Assessment and Media Programs Division, Office of
Compliance, Office of Enforcement and Compliance Assurance, Mail Code
2223A, United States Environmental Protection Agency, 1200 Pennsylvania
Avenue, NW., Washington, DC 20460. A hard copy of a specific ICR may be
obtained without charge by calling the identified information contact
person listed in Section B under Supplementary Information.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For specific information on an
individual ICR, contact the person listed in Section B under
Supplementary Information.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
For All ICRs
An Agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required
to respond to, a collection information unless it displays a currently
valid OMB control number. The OMB control numbers for EPA's regulations
are displayed in 40 CFR part 9.
The EPA would like to solicit comments to:
(i) Evaluate whether the proposed collection of information is
necessary
[[Page 60673]]
for the proper performance of the functions of the Agency, including
whether the information will have practical utility;
(ii) Evaluate the accuracy of the Agency's estimate of the burden
of the proposed collection of information;
(iii) Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information
to be collected; and
(iv) Minimize the burden of the collection of information on those
who respond through the use of automated, electronic, mechanical, or
other forms of information technology.
Burden means the total time, effort, or financial resources
expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or disclose or
provide information to or for a Federal Agency. This 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.
In the absence of the information collection requirements in each
applicable standard, enforcement personnel would be unable to determine
whether the standards are being met on a continuous basis, as required
by the Clean Air Act. Consequently, these information collection
requirements are mandatory, and the records required by New Source
Performance Standards (NSPS) must be retained by the owner or operator
for at least two years; records required by the National Emission
Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) must be retained by the
owner or operator for at least five years; and the records required by
the NESHAP Maximum Achievable Control Technology standards (NESHAP-
MACT) must be retained by the owner or operator for at least five
years. In general, the required information consists of emissions data
and other information deemed not to be private. However, any
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 part 2; 41 FR
36902, September 1, 1976; amended by 43 FR 39999, September 8, 1978; 43
FR 42251, September 28, 1978; 44 FR 17674, March 2, 1979).
The Agency computed the burden for each of the recordkeeping and
reporting requirements applicable to the industry for the currently
approved ICRs. Where applicable, the Agency identified specific tasks
and made assumptions, while being consistent with the concept of the
Paper Work Reduction Act.

Section C: Summaries of Individual ICRs
(1) NESHAP Subpart E: NESHAP for Mercury (40 CFR part 61, subpart
E); EPA ICR Number 0113.08, OMB Control Number 2060-0097; expiration
date June 30, 2003.
Affected Entities: Entities potentially affected by this action are
stationary sources that process mercury ore to recover mercury, use
mercury chlor-alkali cells to produce chlorine gas and alkali metal
hydroxide, and incinerate or dry wastewater treatment plant sludge.
Abstract: 40 CFR part 61, subpart E, was proposed on December 7,
1971, promulgated on April 6, 1973, and amended on October 14, 1975,
and March 19, 1987. This NESHAP requires initial notifications,
performance tests, and periodic reports by affected entities. The
monitoring, recordkeeping, and reporting requirements outlined in this
standard are similar to those required for other NESHAP regulations.
Affected sources must demonstrate compliance with the emission
standards by monitoring their control devices and performing annual
emission testing. Affected sources are also required to submit one-time
notifications of startup; a one-time report on performance test
results; an initial report specifying the intended methods of
compliance including a plan-specific monitoring plan, if it applies;
and a semiannual report that includes a summary of the monitoring
results. Sources must maintain records of emission test results, sludge
sampling data, leaks, spills, process/control device parameters, and
occurrences where the monitoring system is malfunctioning or
inoperative.
Burden Statement: In the previously approved ICR, the estimated
number of respondents for this information collection was 142 with 24
responses per year. The annual industry reporting and recordkeeping
burden for this collection of information was 26,504 hours. On the
average, each respondent reported 0.16 times per year and 1,104 hours
were spent preparing each response. There were no capital/startup costs
or operation and maintenance costs associated with continuous emission
monitoring in the previous ICR.
(2) NSPS Subpart KK: NSPS for Lead Acid Battery Manufacturing (40
CFR part 60, subpart KK); EPA ICR Number 1072.07; OMB Control Number
2060-0081; expiration date June 30, 2003.
Affected Entities: Entities potentially affected by this action are
lead acid battery manufacturing plants with production capacity that is
equal to or exceeds 6.5 tons of lead having one or more of the
following operations: grid casting, paste mixing, three-process
operation, lead-oxide manufacturing, lead reclamation, and other lead-
emitting operations.
Abstract: 40 CFR part 60, subpart KK, was proposed on January 14,
1980, and promulgated on April 16, 1982. This NSPS requires initial
notifications, performance tests, and periodic reports. In addition,
owners or operators of the subject facilities must 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 a
monitoring system is inoperative. Specific monitoring requirements
include information on the operation of the scrubber device and
compliance with the particulate matter and opacity standards.
Burden Statement: In the previously approved ICR, the estimated
number of respondents for this information collection was 82 with 82
responses per year. The annual industry reporting and recordkeeping
burden for this collection of information was 123 hours. On the
average, each respondent reported once
[[Page 60675]]
per year, and 1.5 hours were spent preparing each response. There were
no capital/startup costs associated with the continuous monitoring
system (CMS) in the previous ICR. However, CMS are used to comply with
the reporting and recordkeeping requirements of the standard. The
annual operation and maintenance costs for CMS in the previous ICR were
estimated to be $18,000. This is based on the assumption that 20 of the
82 existing sources have CMS for their scrubber systems at an annual
cost of $900 per source.
(3) NSPS Subpart L: NSPS for Secondary Lead Smelters (40 CFR part
60, subpart L); EPA ICR Number 1128.07; OMB Control Number 2060-0080;
expiration date June 30, 2003.
Affected Entities: Entities potentially affected by this action are
any pot furnace of more than 250 kg charging capacity, blast (cupola)
furnaces, and reverberatory furnaces in secondary lead smelters.
Abstract: 40 CFR part 60, subpart L, was proposed on June 11, 1973
and promulgated on March 8, 1974. This NSPS requires initial
notifications, performance tests, and periodic reports. In addition,
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 a
monitoring system is inoperative.
Burden Statement: In the previously approved ICR, the estimated
number of respondents for this information collection was 23 with 23
responses per year. The annual industry reporting and recordkeeping
burden for this collection of information was 35 hours. On the average,
each respondent reported once per year and 1.5 hours were spent
preparing each response. There were no capital/startup costs or
operation and maintenance costs associated with the continuous emission
monitoring in the previous ICR.
(4) NSPS Subparts T, U, V, W and X: Standards of Performance for
New Stationary Sources for Phosphate Fertilizer Industry (40 CFR part
60, subparts T, U, V, W, X); EPA ICR Number 1061.09; OMB Control Number
2060-0037; expiration date June 30, 2003.
Abstract: Under 40 CFR part 60, subparts T, U, V, W, X, owners/
operators of phosphate fertilizer plants and phosphate bearing feed
operations must notify the Agency of construction, modification,
startups, shutdowns, malfunctions, and dates and results of the initial
performance test. Owners/operators must also install, calibrate, and
maintain monitoring devices to continuously measure and record the
pressure drop across the scrubbers. Recordkeeping includes the
occurrence and duration of all startups and malfunctions; initial
performance tests results; amount of phosphate feed material;
equivalent calculated amounts of phosphorus pentoxide; and pressure
drops across scrubber systems. Startups, shutdowns and malfunctions
must be recorded as they occur. Performance test records must contain
information necessary to determine conditions of performance test and
performance test measurements. Equivalent phosphorus pentoxide stored
or amount of feed must be recorded daily. Continuous monitoring systems
(CMSs) record the pressure drop across scrubbers continuously and
automatically. Reporting includes initial notifications and performance
test results.
Burden Statement: In the previously approved ICR, the estimated
number of respondents for this information collection was 11 with 11
responses per year. The annual industry reporting and recordkeeping
burden for this collection of information was 963 hours. On the
average, each respondent reported once per year and 87.5 hours were
spent preparing each response. There were no capital/startup costs or
operation and maintenance costs associated with the continuous emission
monitoring in the previous ICR.
(5) NSPS Subparts AA and AAa: NSPS for Steel Plants--Electric Arc
Furnaces and Argon Oxygen Decarbonization Vessels (40 CFR part 60,
subparts AA and AAa); EPA ICR Number 1060.11; OMB Control Number 2060-
0038; expiration date June 30, 2003.
Affected Entities: Entities potentially affected by this action are
electric arc furnaces, argon-oxygen decarburization (AOD) vessels, and
dust handling systems at steel plants (minimills) that produce carbon,
alloy, or specialty steels.
Abstract: 40 CFR part 60, subparts AA and AAa, were proposed on
October 21, 1974 and promulgated on September 23, 1975 respectively. A
review of Subpart AA in 1980 resulted in the promulgation of a new
standard (Subpart AAa). Subpart AAa was proposed on August 17, 1983 and
promulgated on October 31, 1984. On March 2, 1999, the Agency proposed
a direct final rule to amend Subparts AA and AAa to add alternative
requirements for monitoring in response to recommendations made by the
Common Sense Initiative subcommittee on iron and steel. This NSPS
requires initial notifications, performance tests, and periodic
reports. In addition, 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.
Burden Statement: In the previously approved ICR, the estimated
number of respondents for this information collection was 90 with 182
responses per year. The annual industry reporting and recordkeeping
burden for this collection of information was 48,413 hours. On the
average, each respondent reported twice per year and 266 hours were
spent preparing each response.
The number of sources in the previous ICR is based on the number of
the electric arc furnaces constructed prior to the 1974 Subpart AA
cutoff date. It was also assumed that two additional sources became
subject to the standard during the three-year ICR approval cycle. In
the most previously approved ICR, there are continuous monitoring
system (CMS) capital/startup costs associated with the two new affected
facilities at a total cost of $27,600. It is assumed that new sources
will not have to purchase continuous opacity monitors. Also, it is
estimated that ten percent of the existing sources will have annual
operation and maintenance costs associated with continuous opacity
monitors at a cost of $66,750.
(6) NSPS Subpart OOO: NSPS for Nonmetallic Mineral Processing (40
CFR part 60, subpart OOO); EPA ICR Number 1084.07; OMB Control Number
2060-0050; expiration date June 30, 2003.
Affected Entities: This standard applies to owners or operators of
new, modified, or reconstructed facilities at nonmetallic mineral
processing plants that commenced construction, modification, or
reconstruction after August 1, 1985. Nonmetallic mineral processing
includes the following: each crusher, grinding mill, screening
operation, bucket elevator, belt conveyor, bagging operation, storage
bin, and enclosed truck or railcar loading station. This standard does
not apply to facilities located in underground mines; stand-alone
screening operations; operations that only involve recycled asphalt;
fixed sand gravel, crushed stone plants with capacities of 25 tons per
hour or less; portable sand, gravel, or crushed stone plants with
capacities of 150 tons per hour or less; common clay or pumice plants
with capacities of 10 tons per hour or less. In addition, when an
existing facility is replaced by a piece of equipment of equal or
smaller size, it is
[[Page 60676]]
not subject to the standard until all facilities in a production line
are replaced. Affected facilities in the plant process that are subject
to 40 CFR part 60, subpart F, for Portland Cement NSPS, or Subpart I,
Asphalt Concrete Plants NSPS, are not subject to this NSPS.
Abstract: Respondents subject to 40 CFR part 60, subpart OOO, must
submit the following one-time-only reports: notification of the date of
construction or reconstruction, notification of the actual date of
initial startup, notification of any physical or operational change to
an existing facility that may increase the regulated pollutant emission
rate, notification of demonstration of the continuous monitoring system
(CMS) where the CMS is required (e.g., wet scrubber), notification of
the date of the initial performance test, and the results of the
initial performance test. Wet mining/screening operations are exempt
from all requirements of the regulation, except an initial report and
record describing the location of these operations. The requirement to
submit a notification of the anticipated date of initial startup is
waived for respondents subject to this standard.
Respondents 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 CMS is
inoperative. Owners or operators of facilities using a wet scrubber
must record the measurements of both the change in pressure of the gas
stream across the scrubber and the scrubbing liquid flow rate and
submit semiannual reports for exceedances.
Burden Statement: In the previously approved ICR, the estimated
number of respondents for this information collection was 4,305 with
2,320 responses per year. The annual industry reporting and
recordkeeping burden for this collection of information was 31,746
hours. On the average, each respondent reported 0.5 times per year and
14 hours were spent preparing each response. There were no capital/
startup costs or operation and maintenance costs associated with
continuous emission monitoring in the previous ICR.
(7) NSPS Subpart FFF: NSPS for Flexible Vinyl and Urethane Coating
and Printing (40 CFR part 60, subpart FFF); EPA ICR Number 1157.07; OMB
Control Number 2060-0073; expiration date June 30, 2003.
Affected Entities: Entities potentially affected by this action are
owners or operators of rotogravure printing lines used to print or coat
flexible vinyl or urethane products, and for which construction,
modification or reconstruction commenced after the date of proposal.
Abstract: 40 CFR part 60, subpart FFF, was proposed on January 18,
1983, and promulgated on June 29, 1984. This NSPS requires initial
notifications, performance tests, and periodic reports. In addition,
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. Monitoring requirements specific to
this standard provide information on the operation of emissions control
devices. Semiannual reports of excess emissions or exceedances of
standards are also required.
Burden Statement: In the previously approved ICR, the estimated
number of respondents for this information collection was 10 with 21
responses per year. The annual industry reporting and recordkeeping
burden for this collection of information was 329 hours. On the
average, each respondent reported twice per year and 16 hours were
spent preparing each response.
The annual reporting and recordkeeping cost burden for this ICR was
estimated at $52,000 that includes $7,000 for capital/startup costs,
and $45,000 for operation and maintenance costs.
(8) NSPS Subpart TTT: NSPS for the Surface Coating of Plastic Parts
for Business Machines (40 CFR part 60, subpart TTT); EPA ICR Number
1093.07; OMB Control Number 2060-0162; expiration date July 31, 2003.
Affected Entities: Entities potentially affected by this action are
facilities in industrial surface coating operations that apply coatings
to plastic parts for use in the manufacture of business machines
including each spray booth that applies prime coats, color coats,
texture coats or touch-up coats.
Abstract: 40 CFR part 60, subpart TTT, was proposed on January 8,
1986 and promulgated on January 29, 1988. This NSPS requires initial
notifications, performance tests, and periodic reports. In addition,
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. The required notifications are used
to inform the Agency or delegated authority when a source becomes
subject to the standard. Performance test reports are needed to
demonstrate a source's initial capability to comply with the emission
standard, and serve as a record of the operating conditions under which
compliance was achieved. Quarterly and semiannual reports are used for
problem identification, as a check on source operation, and maintenance
and for compliance determinations.
Burden Statement: In the previously approved ICR, the estimated
number of respondents for this information collection was 41 with 121
responses per year. The annual industry reporting and recordkeeping
burden for this collection of information was 3,639 hours. On the
average, each respondent reported three times per year and 30 hours
were spent preparing each response. There were no capital/startup costs
or operation and maintenance costs associated with continuous emission
monitoring in the previous ICR. One additional new source per year is
expected to become subject to the regulation in the next three years.
(9) NESHAP-MACT Subpart RRR: NESHAP-MACT for Secondary Aluminum
Production (40 CFR part 63, subpart RRR); EPA ICR Number 1894.03; OMB
Control Number 2060-0433; expiration date July 31, 2003.
Affected Entities: Entities potentially affected by this action are
owners or operators of existing secondary aluminum production
facilities. The standard applies to component processes at these
facilities: aluminum scrap shredders, thermal chip dryers, scrap
dryers/delacquering kilns/decoating kilns, secondary aluminum
processing units composed of in-line fluxers and process furnaces
(including both melting and holding furnaces of various
configurations), sweat furnaces, dross-only furnaces, and rotary dross
coolers.
Abstract: 40 CFR part 63, subpart RRR, was proposed on February 11,
1999 and promulgated on March 23, 2000. On September 14, 2000, the
Agency proposed the removal of aluminum foundries and aluminum die
casting facilities from the secondary aluminum production source
category. On June 14, 2002, the Agency published amendments to the
standards to clarify compliance dates and defer certain early
compliance obligations.
The monitoring, recordkeeping, and reporting requirements outlined
in the standard are similar to those required for other NESHAP
regulations. Respondents must submit one-time notifications of
applicability and reports on initial performance test results. Plants
must develop and implement a startup, shutdown, and malfunction plan
and submit semiannual reports of any event when the plan was not
followed. Respondents must also
[[Page 60677]]
develop and implement an operation, maintenance, and monitoring plan
covering each affected source and each emission control device used for
compliance with the standard. Semiannual reports for periods of
operation during which the monitoring parameter ranges established
during the initial compliance test are exceeded, or reports certifying
that no exceedances have occurred also are required.
Burden Statement: In the previously approved ICR, the estimated
number of respondents for this information collection was 887 with
2,315 responses per year. The annual industry reporting and
recordkeeping burden for this collection of information was 148,031
hours. On the average, each respondent reported 2.6 times per year and
64 hours were spent preparing each response.
The total capital and startup costs annualized over its expected
useful life are approximately $687,000. The total annualized capital/
startup costs are approximately $535,000, and the total annualized
operation and maintenance costs are approximately $152,000.
(10) NSPS Subpart PPP and NESHAP-MACT Subpart NNN: NSPS for Wool
Fiberglass Insulation Manufacturing Plants (40 CFR part 60, subpart
PPP), and NESHAP-MACT for Wool Fiberglass Manufacturing Plants (40 CFR
part 63, subpart NNN); EPA ICR Number 1160.07; OMB Control Number 2060-
0114; expiration date July 31, 2003.
Affected Entities: Entities potentially affected by the NSPS
standard are each rotary spin wool fiberglass insulation manufacturing
line located at a wool fiberglass insulation manufacturing plant.
Entities potentially affected by the NESHAP-MACT standard are glass-
melting furnaces, rotary spin manufacturing lines that produce bonded
building insulation, and flame attenuation manufacturing lines
producing bonded pipe insulation located at wool fiberglass
manufacturing plants.
Abstract: 40 CFR part 60, subpart PPP, applies to each rotary spin
wool fiberglass insulation manufacturing line for which construction,
modification or reconstruction commenced after February 2, 1984.
This NSPS requires initial notifications, performance tests, and
periodic reports. In addition, 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. Owners or
operators 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 that may increase the
regulated pollutant emission rate; and the notification of the date 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.
Recordkeeping requirements specific to wool fiberglass insulation
manufacturers include continuous measurements of control device
operating parameters. When a wet scrubbing control device is used, the
owner or operator of an affected facility must measure the gas pressure
drop across each scrubber and the scrubbing liquid flow rate to each
scrubber no less than once every four hours. Owners or operators who
comply using a wet electrostatic precipitator control device must
measure the primary and secondary current and voltage in each
electrical field and the inlet water flow rate no less than once every
four hours.
The reporting requirements for this industry include the initial
notifications listed, the initial performance test results, and
semiannual reports of excess emissions.
The NESHAP-MACT rule requires initial notifications, performance
tests, and periodic reports. In addition, 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. 40 CFR 63.1386 of the final rule specifies additional
records to be kept by owners or operators of wool fiberglass
manufacturing plants including: (1) Bag leak detection system alarm
activations; (2) electrostatic precipitator (ESP) parameter values; (3)
air temperature measurements above the molten glass in an uncontrolled
cold top electric furnace; (4) uncontrolled glass-melting furnace (that
is not a cold top electric furnace) parameter values used to monitor
furnace performance; (5) the loss-on-ignition and product density for
each bonded product manufactured on a rotary spin (RS) or flame
attenuation (FA) manufacturing line; (6) the free formaldehyde content
of each resin shipment received and used in binder formulation, and the
binder formulation of each batch; (7) process parameter levels for RS
and FA manufacturing lines that use process modifications to comply
with the emission standards; (8) scrubber pressure drop, scrubbing
liquid flow rate, and any chemical additives; (9) incinerator operating
temperatures and results of the periodic inspection of incinerator
components; and (10) the glass pull rate, including any period when the
pull rate exceeds the average pull rate established during the
performance test by more than 20 percent.
Burden Statement: In the previously approved ICR, the estimated
number of respondents for this information collection was 20 with 128
responses per year. The annual industry reporting and recordkeeping
burden for this collection of information was 19,098 hours. On the
average, each respondent reported 6.4 times per year and 149 hours were
spent preparing each response.
The total capital and startup costs annualized over its expected
useful life are approximately $689,000. The total annualized capital/
startup costs are approximately $485,000, and the total annualized
operation and maintenance costs are approximately $204,000. It is
estimated that no additional sources will become subject to the
standard over the next three years.
(11) NESHAP-MACT Subpart II: NESHAP for Shipbuilding and Ship
Repair Facilities--Surface Coating (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart II); EPA
ICR Number 1712.04; OMB Control Number 2060-0330; expiration date
August 31, 2003.
Affected Entities: Entities potentially affected by this action are
all new and existing shipbuilding and repair facilities that are major
sources of hazardous air pollutants.
Abstract: 40 CFR part 63, subpart II, was proposed on December 6,
1994 and promulgated on December 15, 1995. Owners or operators of
shipbuilding and ship repair facilities to which this regulation is
applicable must choose one of the four compliance options described in
the final rule or install and monitor a specific control system to
control coating emissions and reduce Hazardous Air Pollutant (HAP)
emissions to the compliance level. This NESHAP requires initial
notifications, performance tests, and periodic reports. In addition,
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. Also, respondents are required to
submit with the initial notification an implementation plan that
describes the coating compliance procedures; recordkeeping procedures;
and transfer, handling, and storage procedures that the source intends to
[[Page 60678]]
use. Respondents choosing any of the four compliance options described
in the final rule must record the following: the total volume of
coating applied at the source to ships; the volume of each low-usage-
exempt coating applied; the identities of the coatings used, the
appropriate coating categories, and applicable volatile organic
hazardous air pollutant limit; the content certifications for each
batch of coating; a determination of whether containers meet the
standards; and the results of any Method 24 or approved test conducted
on individual containers of coating, as applied.
Burden Statement: In the previously approved ICR, the estimated
number of respondents for this information collection was 45 with 45
responses per year. The annual industry reporting and recordkeeping
burden for this collection of information was 22,149 hours. On the
average, each respondent reported once per year and 492 hours were
spent preparing each response. There were no capital/startup costs or
operation and maintenance costs associated with continuous emission
monitoring in the previous ICR. One additional new source per year is
expected to become subject to the regulation over the next three years.
(12) NESHAP-MACT Subpart KK: NESHAP for the Printing and Publishing
Industry (40 CFR part 63, subpart KK); EPA ICR 1739.04; OMB Control
Number 2060-0335; expiration date September 30, 2003.
Affected Entities: Entities potentially affected by this action are
owners or operators of publication rotogravure, product and packaging
rotogravure, and wide-web flexographic printing presses at major
sources, existing or commencing construction or reconstruction after
the effective date of this Subpart.
Abstract: 40 CFR part 63, subpart KK, was proposed on March 14,
1995 (60 FR 13664) and promulgated on May 30, 1996 (61 FR 27131). This
NESHAP requires initial notifications, performance tests, and periodic
reports. In addition, 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. Monitoring
requirements specific to this standard provide information on the
operation of the emissions control device and compliance with the
opacity limit.
Burden Statement: In the previously approved ICR, the estimated
number of respondents for this information collection was 135 with 273
responses per year. The annual industry reporting and recordkeeping
burden for this collection of information was 52,495 hours. On the
average, each respondent reported twice per year and 192 hours were
spent preparing each response.
The total capital and startup costs annualized over its expected
useful life are approximately $403,000. The total annualized capital/
startup costs are approximately $7,000, and the total annualized
operation and maintenance costs are approximately $396,000. It is
estimated that one source per year will become subject to the standard
over the next three years.
(13) NESHAP-MACT Subpart M: NESHAP for Perchloroethylene Dry
Cleaning Facilities (40 CFR part 63, subpart M); OMB Control Number
2060-0234; EPA ICR Number 1415.05; expiration date September 30, 2003.
Affected Entities: Entities potentially affected by this action are
those owners or operators of dry cleaning facilities using
perchloroethylene (PCE) as a solvent.
Abstract: Sources subject to 40 CFR part 63, subpart M must submit
certain records and reports to enable the Agency to identify facilities
that may not be in compliance with the standard. Monitoring is
conducted on a weekly basis to ensure that the emission control devices
are being properly operated and maintained on a continuous basis to
reduce vented PCE emissions, and leak detection and repair are
conducted on a weekly basis to reduce fugitive PCE emissions. The
required records indicate whether the facilities are operating and
maintaining equipment properly to control vented emissions, and whether
transfer emissions and other fugitive emissions are being properly
controlled. To minimize the burden, much of the information that the
Agency requires is recorded and retained on-site at the facility. Such
information is reviewed by enforcement personnel during inspections and
does not need to be routinely reported to the Agency. Records that must
be maintained include the solvent purchased each month, yearly PCE
consumption, weekly or biweekly inspections, dates of repair or
purchase orders, monitoring and initial report requirements. In
addition, sources must report on facility status change to a major
source and exceedances of the low solvent consumption exemption level.
Burden Statement: In the previously approved ICR, the estimated
number of respondents for this information collection was 25,090 with
5,270 responses per year. The annual industry reporting and
recordkeeping burden for this collection of information was 1,212,129
hours. On the average, each respondent reported 0.21 times per year and
230 hours were spent preparing each response.
The total capital and startup costs annualized over its expected
useful life are approximately $47,000. The total annualized capital/
startup costs are zero, and the total annualized operation and
maintenance costs are approximately $47,000.
(14) NSPS Subpart MM: NSPS for Automobile and Light Duty Truck
Surface Coating Operations (40 CFR part 60, subpart MM); EPA ICR Number
1064.10; OMB Control Number 2060-0034; expiration date September 30,
2003.
Affected Entities: Entities potentially affected by this action are
the following automobile and light duty truck assembly plant lines:
each prime coat operation, guide coat operation, and top coat operation
commencing construction, modification or reconstruction after October
5, 1979.
Abstract: 40 CFR part 60, subpart MM, was proposed on October 5,
1979 and promulgated on December 24, 1980 (45 FR 85415). This NSPS
requires initial notifications, performance tests, and periodic
reports. In addition, 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.
The control of emissions from automobile and light duty truck
coating operations requires not only the installation of properly
designed equipment, but also the operation and maintenance of that
equipment. The required notifications are used to inform the Agency or
delegated authority when a source becomes subject to the standard.
Performance test reports are needed as these are the Agency's records
of a source's initial capability to comply with the emission standard,
and serve as a record of the operating conditions under which
compliance was achieved. When thermal or catalytic incineration is
performed, the owner or operator shall keep records of each three-hour
period during which the incinerator temperature averaged more than 28
degrees centigrade below the temperature of the most recent performance
test, and when the average temperature difference across the catalyst
bed is less than 80% of the average temperature difference recorded
during the most recent performance test. The semiannual reports are
used for problem identification, as a check on
[[Page 60679]]
source operation and maintenance, and for compliance determinations.
Burden Statement: In the previously approved ICR, the estimated
number of respondents for this information collection was 45 with 171
responses per year. The annual industry reporting and recordkeeping
burden for this collection of information was 145,599 hours. On the
average, each respondent reported 3.8 times per year and 851 hours were
spent preparing each response.
The total capital and startup costs annualized are approximately
$7,000, the total annualized capital/startup costs are $2,000 and the
total annualized operation and maintenance costs are approximately
$5,000.
