edocket/. index listing of the contents of the official public docket,
and to access those documents in the public docket that are available
electronically. After entering the system, select ``search,'' then key
in the docket identification number.
Certain types of information will not be placed in the EPA Dockets.
Information claimed as CBI, and other information whose disclosure is
restricted by statute, which is not included in the official public
docket, will not be available for public viewing in EPA's electronic
public docket. EPA's policy is that copyrighted material will not be
placed in EPA's electronic public docket but will be available only in
printed, paper form in the official public docket. To the extent
feasible, publicly available docket materials will be made available in
EPA's electronic public docket. When a document is selected from the
index list in EPA Dockets, the system will identify whether the
document is available for viewing in EPA's electronic public docket.
Although not all docket materials may be available electronically, you
may still access any of the publicly available docket materials through
the docket facility identified in section I.A.1. EPA intends to work
toward providing electronic access to all of the publicly available
docket materials through EPA's electronic public docket.
For public commenters, it is important to note that EPA's policy is
that public comments, whether submitted electronically or in paper,
will be made available for public viewing in EPA's electronic public
docket as EPA receives them and without change, unless the comment
contains copyrighted material, CBI, or other information whose
disclosure is restricted by statute. When EPA identifies a comment
containing copyrighted material, EPA will provide a reference to that
material in the version of the comment that is placed in EPA's
electronic public docket. The entire printed comment, including the
copyrighted material, will be available in the public docket.
Public comments submitted on computer disks that are mailed or
delivered to the docket will be transferred to EPA's electronic public
docket. Public comments that are mailed or delivered to the Docket will
be scanned and placed in EPA's electronic public docket. Where
practical, physical objects will be photographed, and the photograph
will be placed in EPA's electronic public docket along with a brief
description written by the docket staff.
For additional information about EPA's electronic public docket,
visit EPA Dockets online or see 67 FR 38102, May 31, 2002.
B. How and To Whom Do I Submit Comments?
You may submit comments electronically, by mail, or through hand
delivery/courier service. To ensure proper receipt by EPA, identify the
[[Page 27061]]
appropriate docket identification number in the subject line on the
first page of your comment. Please ensure that your comments are
submitted within the specified comment period. Comments received after
the close of the comment period will be marked ``late.'' EPA is not
required to consider late comments in formulating a final decision. If
you wish to submit CBI or information that is otherwise protected by
statute, please follow the instructions in section I.C. Do not use EPA
Dockets or e-mail to submit CBI or information protected by statute.
1. Electronically. If you submit an electronic comment as
prescribed below, EPA recommends that you include your name, mailing
address, and an e-mail address or other contact information in the body
of your comment. Also include this contact information on the outside
of any disk or CD ROM you submit, and in any cover letter accompanying
the disk or CD ROM. This ensures that you can be identified as the
submitter of the comment and allows EPA to contact you in case EPA
cannot read your comment due to technical difficulties or needs further
information on the substance of your comment. EPA's policy is that EPA
will not edit your comment, and any identifying or contact information
provided in the body of a comment will be included as part of the
comment that is placed in the official public docket, and made
available in EPA's electronic public docket. If EPA cannot read your
comment due to technical difficulties and cannot contact you for
clarification, EPA may not be able to consider your comment.
i. EPA Dockets. Your use of EPA's electronic public docket to
submit comments to EPA electronically is EPA's preferred method for
receiving comments. Go directly to EPA Dockets at http://www.epa.gov/
edocket, and follow the online instructions for submitting comments.
To access EPA's electronic public docket from the EPA Internet Home Page,
select ``Information Sources,'' ``Dockets,'' and ``EPA Dockets.'' After
entering the system, select ``search,'' and then key in Docket ID
Number. The system is an ``anonymous access'' system, which means EPA
will not know your identity, e-mail address, or other contact
information unless you provide it in the body of your comment.
ii. E-mail. Comments may be sent by electronic mail (e-mail) to
docket.oeca@epa.gov. Provide the Docket ID Number when submitting your
comments. In contrast to EPA's electronic public docket, EPA's e-mail
system is not an ``anonymous access'' system. If you send an e-mail
comment directly to the Docket without going through EPA's electronic
public docket, EPA's e-mail system automatically captures your e-mail
address. E-mail addresses that are automatically captured by EPA's e-
mail system are included as part of the comment that is placed in the
official public docket, and made available in EPA's electronic public
docket.
iii. Disk or CD ROM. You may submit comments on a disk or CD ROM
that you mail to the mailing address identified in section I.A.1. These
electronic submissions will be accepted in WordPerfect or ASCII file
format. Avoid the use of special characters and any form of encryption.
2. By Mail. Send your comments to the EPA Docket Center using the
address provided in section I.A.1.; Attention: Docket ID Number
(provide number).
3. By Hand Delivery or Courier Service. Deliver your comments to
address provided in section I.A.1; Attention: Docket ID Number (provide
number). Such deliveries are only accepted during the Docket's normal
hours of operation as identified in section I.A.1.
C. How Should I Submit CBI to the Agency?
Do not submit information that you consider to be CBI
electronically through EPA's electronic public docket or by e-mail.
Send or deliver information identified as CBI only to the contact
individuals listed in section II.C.; Attention: Docket ID Number
(provide number). You may claim information that you submit to EPA as
CBI by marking any part or all of that information as CBI. If you
submit CBI on disk or CD ROM, mark the outside of the disk or CD ROM as
CBI, and then identify within the disk or CD ROM the specific
information that is CBI. Information so marked will not be disclosed
except in accordance with procedures set forth in 40 CFR part 2.
In addition to one complete version of the comment that includes
any information claimed as CBI, a copy of the comment that does not
contain the information claimed as CBI must be submitted for inclusion
in the public docket and EPA's electronic public docket. If you submit
the copy that does not contain CBI on disk or CD ROM, mark the outside
of the disk or CD ROM clearly that it does not contain CBI. Information
not marked as CBI will be included in the public docket and EPA's
electronic public docket without prior notice. If you have any
questions about CBI or the procedures for claiming CBI, please consult
the person identified under the section titled FOR FURTHER INFORMATION
CONTACT.
D. What Should I Consider as I Prepare My Comments for EPA?
You may find the following suggestions helpful for preparing your
comments:
(1) Explain your views as clearly as possible.
(2) Describe any assumptions that you used.
(3) Provide any technical information and/or data you used that
support your views.
(4) If you estimate potential burden or costs, explain how you
arrived at your estimate.
(5) Provide specific examples to illustrate your concerns.
(6) Offer alternatives.
(7) Make sure to submit your comments by the comment period
deadline identified.
(8) To ensure proper receipt by EPA, identify the appropriate
docket identification number in the subject line on the first page of
your response. It would also be helpful if you provided the name, date,
and Federal Register citation related to your comments.
E. In What Information Is EPA Particularly Interested?
Pursuant to section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the PRA, EPA specifically
solicits comments and information to enable it to:
(1) Evaluate whether the proposed collections of information are
necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the Agency,
including whether the information will have practical utility.
(2) Evaluate the accuracy of the Agency's estimates of the burdens
of the proposed collections of information.
(3) Enhance the quality, utility, and clarity of the information to
be collected.
(4) Minimize the burden of the collections of information on those
who are to respond, including through the use of appropriate automated
or electronic collection technologies or other forms of information
technology, e.g., permitting electronic submission of responses.
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
[[Page 27062]]
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.
II. ICRs To Be Renewed
A. 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.
These information collection requirements are mandatory.
Furthermore, the records required by New Source Performance Standards
(NSPS) must be retained by the owner or operator for at least two years
and 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. In general, the required information consists of
emissions data and other information deemed not to be private.
In the absence of such information collection requirements,
enforcement personnel would be unable to determine whether the
standards are being met on a continuous basis, as required by the Clean
Air Act.
The EPA computed the burden for each of the recordkeeping and
reporting requirements applicable to the industry for the currently
approved Information Collection Requests (ICRs) listed in this notice.
Where applicable, the EPA identified specific tasks and made
assumptions, while being consistent with the concept of the Paperwork
Reduction Act.

D. Information for Individual ICRs
(1) NESHAP for Secondary Lead Smelting (40 CFR part 63, subpart X);
EPA ICR Number 1686.05; OMB Control Number 2060-0296; expiration date
October 31, 2003.
Affected Entities: Entities potentially affected by this action are
owners or operators of secondary lead smelters that operate blast,
reverberatory, rotary, or electric smelting furnaces to recover lead
metal from scrap lead, primarily from used lead-acid automotive-type
batteries.
Abstract: The standards at 40 CFR part 63, subpart X, were
promulgated on June 23, 1995. In response to industry petitions to
reconsider, final standards were amended on June 13, 1997. These
standards require sources to submit initial notifications, conduct
performance tests, and submit periodic reports. In addition, sources
are required to maintain records of the occurrence and duration of any
startup, shutdown, or malfunction in the operation of an affected
facility; any period during which the monitoring system is inoperative;
bag leak detection system alarms, including corrective actions; and of
parametric monitoring data, system maintenance and
[[Page 27064]]
calibration. Records are to be retained two years on-site of the
required total five years. These notifications, reports, and records
are essential in determining compliance with the standards.
Burden Statement: In the previously approved ICR, the estimated
number of respondents for this information collection was 23 with no
new sources expected over the three-year period. However, it was
expected that one furnace would be rebuilt per year and that each
facility will make a major adjustment one time per year which will
require revising its operational plan. The annual industry reporting
and recordkeeping burden was estimated to be 16,033 hours with a total
of 48 responses per year. Therefore, each respondent reported an
average of two times per year and spent about 334 hours preparing each
response (includes time for recordkeeping activities). There were no
capital/startup costs associated with continuous emission monitoring
(CEM) in the previously approved ICR. The operation and maintenance
costs associated with CEM were estimated at $150,000.
(2) NESHAP for Halogenated Solvent Cleaning (40 CFR part 63,
subpart T); EPA ICR Number 1652.05; OMB Control Number 2060-0273;
expiration date October 31, 2003.
Affected Entities: Entities potentially affected by this action are
batch vapor, in-line vapor, in-line cold, and batch cold solvent
cleaning machines, batch vapor or in-line cleaning machines.
Abstract: The NESHAP for Halogenated Solvent Cleaning (40 CFR part
63, subpart T) was promulgated on December 2, 1994, and a correction to
the final standards published June 5, 1995.
The monitoring, recordkeeping, and reporting requirements outlined
in the standards are similar to those required for other NESHAP
regulations. Plants must demonstrate compliance with the emission
standards by monitoring their control devices and performing annual
emissions testing. This information notifies EPA when a source becomes
subject to the regulations, informs the EPA if a source is in
compliance when it begins operation, and informs EPA if the source
remained in compliance during any period of operation.
These standards rely on the proper design and operation of
halogenated solvent cleaners such as working-mode covers, freeboard
ratio of 1.0, and reduced room draft to reduce solvent emissions from
halogenated solvent cleaners. Certain records and reports are necessary
to enable the EPA to identify sources subject to the standards and to
ensure that the standards are being achieved. Sources subject to these
standards must provide EPA with an initial notification of existing or
new solvent cleaning machines, initial statements of compliance, an
annual control device monitoring report for batch vapor and in-line
cleaning machines, an annual solvent emission report for batch vapor
and in-line cleaning machines complying with the alternative standard,
and exceedance of monitoring parameters or emissions. These records
that the facilities maintain indicate to EPA whether they are operating
and maintaining the halogenated solvent cleaners properly to control
emissions. In order to ensure compliance with the standards, adequate
reporting and recordkeeping is necessary. All sources subject to these
standards are required to submit quarterly, semiannual, and annual
reports.
Burden Statement: In the previously approved ICR, the estimated
number of respondents for this information collection was 1,431 with
3,943 responses per year. The annual industry reporting and
recordkeeping burden for this collection of information was 45,207
hours. The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this
collection of information is estimated to average 11 hours per
response.
The total annualized reporting and recordkeeping cost burden is
approximately $4,091,000 of which the capital startup costs are
$3,079,000 and the operation and maintenance costs are $1,012,000.
(3) NSPS for Storage Vessels for Petroleum Liquids for Which
Construction, Reconstruction or Modification Commenced After June 11,
1973, and prior to May 19, 1978 (40 CFR part 60, subpart K); EPA ICR
Number 1797.03; OMB Control Number 2060-0442; expiration date January
31, 2004.
Affected Entities: Entities potentially affected by this action
are: (1) Those facilities that operate a storage vessel with petroleum
liquids which has a storage capacity greater than 151,416 liters
(40,000 gallons) and for which construction commenced after June 11,
1973, and prior to May 19, 1978; (2) those facilities that operate a
storage vessel greater than 151,416 liters (40,000 gallons), but not
exceeding 246,052 liters (65,000 gallons) that commenced construction
or modification after March 8, 1974, and prior to May 19, 1978; and (3)
those facilities that operate a storage vessel that has a capacity
greater than 246,052 liters (65,000 gallons) that commenced
construction or modification after June 11, 1973, and prior to May 19,
1978.
Abstract: The applicable standards, 40 CFR part 60, subpart K, were
promulgated on March 8, 1974. These are new source performance
standards that require initial notification, 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 these standards include collecting
and maintaining a record of the petroleum liquid stored, the period of
storage and the maximum true vapor pressure of that liquid during the
respective storage period. This information is collected when the
petroleum liquid within the storage vessel changes. Performance test
reports, and excess emissions reports serve as a record of the
conditions under which compliance was achieved. The 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 220 with 4
responses per year. The annual industry reporting and recordkeeping
burden for this collection of information was 678 hours. On the
average, each respondent reported 0.02 times per year and 170 hours
were spent preparing each response. The response was prepared on
occasion. There were no capital/startup costs or operation and
maintenance costs associated with continuous emission monitoring in the
previous ICR. It is assumed that 2 percent of the approximately 220
respondents per year that are subject to these standards will modify or
reconstruct their tanks to such a degree that they must submit a
report.
(4) NSPS for Commercial and Industrial Solid Waste Incineration
Units (40 CFR part 60, subpart CCCC); EPA ICR Number 1926.03; OMB
Control Number 2060-0450; expiration date January 31, 2004.
Affected Entities: Entities potentially affected by this action are
commercial and industrial solid waste incineration (CISWI) units.
Abstract: The NSPS for Commercial and Industrial Solid Waste
Incineration Units (40 CFR part 60, subpart CCCC) was promulgated on
March 27, 2001.
The standards require initial performance tests for 10 pollutants,
annual performance testing for particulate matter (PM), hydrogen
chloride (HCl), opacity continuous operating parameter monitoring,
annual
[[Page 27065]]
operator training and annual reporting. (Deviation reports are required
if any of the emission limitations or operating limits are exceeded).
To minimize the burden of the annual performance testing, the
standards only require that the owner or operator test for PM, HCl, and
opacity. Annual performance testing is not required for dioxins/furans,
cadmium, carbon monoxide, lead, mercury, nitrogen oxides, and sulfur
dioxide. This significantly reduces the testing costs while still
providing the EPA with sufficient data to adequately assess compliance.
In addition, the standards allow the owner or operator to skip two
annual tests for a pollutant if all performance tests over the previous
three years show compliance with the emission limit. Reports must be
submitted semiannually and annually.
Burden Statement: In the previously approved ICR, the estimated
number of respondents for this information collection was 1 with 18
responses per year. The annual industry reporting and recordkeeping
burden for this collection of information was 11,209 hours. The annual
public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of
information is estimated to average 623 hours per response.
The annual capital/startup costs per year were approximately
$14,000 and there were no annualized operation and maintenance costs.
(5) NSPS for Ammonium Sulfate Manufacture (40 CFR part 60, subpart
PP); EPA ICR Number 1066.04; OMB Control Number 2060-0032; expiration
date January 31, 2004.
Affected Entities: Entities potentially affected by this action
applies to ammonium sulfate dryer within an ammonium sulfate
manufacturing plant in the caprolactam, synthetic and coke oven by-
products sectors of the ammonium sulfate manufacturing industry.
Abstract: NSPS for Ammonium Sulfate Manufacture (40 CFR part 60,
subpart PP), was promulgated on November 12, 1980. All affected
facilities in this subpart 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; and
the notification of the date of the initial performance test.
The recordkeeping requirements for ammonium sulfate plants consist
of the occurrence and duration of all startups and malfunctions, the
initial performance tests results, amount of ammonium sulfate feed
material, and the pressure drop across the emission control system.
Records of startups, shutdowns and malfunctions shall be noted as they
occur. Records of the performance test should include information
necessary to determine the conditions of the performance test, and
performance test measurements (including pressure drop across the
emission control system) and results. The continuous emission monitors
(CEMS) shall record pressure drop across the scrubbers continuously and
automatically. The reporting requirements for this industry include
initial notifications, and initial performance tests.
Burden Statement: In the previously approved ICR, the estimated
number of respondents for this information collection was 2 with 2
responses per year. The annual industry reporting and recordkeeping
burden for this collection of information was 182 hours. On the
average, each respondent reported one time per year and 91 hours were
spent preparing each response. There were no capital/startup costs or
operation and maintenance costs associated with the previous ICR.
(6) NESHAP for Phosphoric Acid Manufacturing Plants and Phosphate
Fertilizers Production Plants (40 CFR part 63, subparts AA and BB); EPA
ICR Number 1790.03; OMB Control Number 2060-0361; expiration date
January 31, 2004.
Affected Entities: Entities potentially affected by this action are
phosphoric acid manufacturing and phosphate fertilizer production
plants.
Abstract: The NESHAP for Phosphoric Acid Manufacturing Plants and
Phosphate Fertilizers Production Plants (40 CFR part 63, subparts AA
and BB) was promulgated on December 29, 1992, and amended on December
17, 2001.
All affected facilities must submit one-time notifications (where
applicable) and a one-time report on performance test results. Plants
must develop and implement a startup, shutdown, and malfunction plan
and submit semiannual reports of any event where the plan was not
followed.
Semiannual reports for periods of operation during which the
monitoring parameter boundaries established during the initial
compliance test are exceeded (or reports certifying that no exceedances
have occurred) also are required. General requirements applicable to
all NESHAP require records of applicability determinations; test
results; exceedances; periods of startups; shutdowns; or malfunctions;
monitoring records; and all other information needed to determine
compliance with the applicable standards. Records and reports must be
retained for a total of 5 years (2 years at the site; the remaining 3
years of records may be retained off-site).
Subparts AA and BB require respondents to install monitoring
devices to measure the pressure drop and liquid flow rate for wet
scrubbers. These operating parameters are permitted to vary within
ranges determined concurrently with performance tests. Exceedances of
the operating ranges are considered violations of the emission limits.
The requirements include an option which allows sources to retest and
demonstrate that the operating parameter exceedances are not
exceedances of the emissions limit.
The standards require sources to determine and record the amount of
phosphatic feed material processed or stored on a daily basis. This
requirement allows verification of plant operating rate which is one of
the factors considered in establishing the operating ranges of control
devices. This requirement poses no additional burden upon the industry.
This is so because proper plant operation and industry practice include
daily recording of phosphate-bearing feed processed. Because the daily
recordkeeping requirement places no additional burden upon sources, no
cost estimate has been made for this requirement. Respondents also
maintain records of specific information needed to determine that the
standards are being achieved and maintained.
Since many of the facilities potentially affected by the standards
are currently subject to a similar new source performance standard
(NSPS), these standards include an exemption from the NSPS for those
sources. That exemption eliminates duplication of information
collection requirements.
Burden Statement: In the previously approved ICR, the estimated
number of respondents was 15 with 193 responses per year. The annual
industry reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of
information was 4,143 hours. The annual public reporting and
recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to
average 21 hours per response.
The annual reporting and recordkeeping cost burden was $66,000 of
which the capital/startup costs were $53,000 and the operation and
maintenance costs were $13,000.
(7) Emission Guidelines for Commercial and Industrial Solid Waste
Incineration Units (40 CFR part 60,
[[Page 27066]]
subpart DDDD); EPA ICR Number 1927.03; OMB Control Number 2060-0451;
expiration date January 31, 2004.
Affected Entities: Entities potentially affected by this action
applies to commercial and industrial solid waste incineration units
that commenced construction on or before November 30, 1999.
Abstract: Emission Guidelines for Commercial and Industrial Solid
Waste Incineration Units (40 CFR part 60, subpart DDDD) were
promulgated on December 1, 2000.
The emission guidelines require a one-time waste management plan,
initial performance tests for 10 pollutants, annual performance testing
for particulate matter, hydrogen chloride and opacity, continuous
operating parameter monitoring, annual operator training, and annual
reporting. Only the control plan and the waste management plan are
submitted in the first 3 years after promulgation of the emission
guidelines. The one-time control plan will allow the Designated
Administrator to determine whether the respondent has an adequate
strategy for achieving compliance with the emission guidelines by the
final compliance date. The one-time waste management plan will allow
the Designated Administrator to determine whether the respondent has an
adequate plan for reducing and separating waste. The final compliance
report notifies the Designated Administrator that the owner or operator
has achieved compliance with the emission guidelines. Annual reporting
allows the submitting of required information and data parameters so
that any potential problems can be identified in a timely fashion.
Burden Statement: In the previously approved ICR, the estimated
number of respondents for this information collection was 116 with 116
responses per year. The annual industry reporting and recordkeeping
burden for this collection of information was 9,145 hours. Therefore,
each respondent must report one time per year and the average number of
hours preparing each report is 79. There were no capital/startup or
operation and maintenance costs associated with the continuous emission
monitoring required by the previous ICR.
(8) NESHAP for Magnetic Tape Manufacturing Operations (40 CFR part
63, subpart EE); Docket ID Number OECA-2003-0022; EPA ICR Number
1678.05; OMB Control Number 2060-0326; expiration date January 31,
2004.
Affected Entities: Entities potentially affected by this action are
magnetic tape manufacturing operations.
Abstract: The NESHAP standard for Magnetic Tape Manufacturing
Operations was promulgated on December 15, 1994.
Owners or operators of magnetic tape manufacturing operations 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 also are required to maintain records of the
occurrence and duration of any startup, shutdown, or malfunction in the
operation of an affected facility.
Each owner or operator of an affected magnetic tape coating
operation shall install, calibrate, maintain, and operate a monitoring
device that continuously measures control device efficiency.
Recordkeeping requirements include records of the freeboard ratio,
compliance monitoring system (CMS) maintenance and calibration,
performance tests, material balance calculation, and hazardous air
pollutant (HAP) usage.
Burden Statement: In the previously approved ICR, the estimated
number of respondents for this information collection was 13 with 26
responses per year. The annual industry reporting and recordkeeping
burden for this collection of information was 7,042 hours. On the
average, each respondent reported two times per year and 271 hours were
spent preparing each response. Reports are submitted semiannually,
quarterly and on occasion. The annual reporting and recordkeeping cost
burden associated with continuous emission monitoring in the previous
ICR was $89,000 of which the capital/startup costs were $10,000 and the
operation and maintenance costs were $79,000.
(9) NESHAP for Flexible Polyurethane Foam Production (40 CFR part
63, subpart III); EPA ICR Number 1783.03; OMB Control Number 2060-0357;
expiration date January 31, 2004.
Affected Entities: Entities potentially affected by this action are
owners or operators of facilities that engage in the manufacture of
flexible polyurethane foam products. This includes facilities making
flexible polyurethane foam, rebind flexible polyurethane foam, and/or
molded flexible polyurethane foam.
Abstract: The standards at 40 CFR part 63, subpart III, were
promulgated on October 7, 1998. These standards require sources to
choose one of several compliance options or reduce hazardous air
pollutant (HAP) emissions to below the compliance level. Sources are
required to submit initial notifications, including a pre-compliance
report, conduct performance tests, and submit semiannual compliance
reports and annual compliance certifications. In addition, sources are
required to maintain records of the occurrence and duration of any
startup, shutdown, or malfunction in the operation of an affected
facility; any period during which the monitoring system is inoperative;
bag leak detection system alarms, including corrective actions; and of
parametric monitoring data, system maintenance and calibration. Records
are to be retained two years on-site of the required total five years.
These notifications, reports, and records are essential in determining
compliance with the standards.
Burden Statement: In the previously approved ICR, the estimated
number of respondents for this information collection was 132. However,
it was estimated that approximately six existing facilities will
undergo reconstruction or modification over the period of the ICR. The
annual industry reporting and recordkeeping burden for the previous
information collection was estimated to be 6,400 hours with a total of
143 responses per year. Therefore, each respondent reported an average
of one time per year and spent about 45 hours preparing each response
(includes time for recordkeeping activities).
There were no capital/startup costs and no operation and
maintenance costs associated with CEM in the previous ICR. This
estimate was based on the assumption that all foam production sources
will elect the source-wide emission limitation, which requires no
startup, capital, or operation and maintenance costs paid outside of
the company.
(10) NESHAP for Mineral Wool Production (40 CFR part 63, subpart
DDD); EPA ICR Number 1799.03; OMB Control Number 2060-0362; expiration
date January 31, 2004.
Affected Entities: Entities potentially affected by this action are
existing, new, or reconstructed mineral wool production facilities.
Abstract: The NESHAP for Mineral Wool Production (40 CFR part 63,
subpart DDD) was promulgated on June 1, 1999.
The monitoring, recordkeeping, and reporting requirements outlined
in the standards are similar to those required for other NESHAP
standards. Plants must demonstrate compliance with the standards by
monitoring their control devices and performing annual emissions
testing. Respondents must
[[Page 27067]]
provide notification to the EPA of construction, modification,
startups, shutdowns, date and results of initial performance tests and
provide semiannual reports of excess emissions. They are also required
to install fabric filter bag leak detection systems and then initiate
corrective action procedures in the event of an operating problem.
Continuous monitoring and recording of: (1) The operating temperature
of each thermal incinerator; (2) cupola production rate; and (3) for
each curing over, the formaldehyde content of each binder formulation
used to manufacture bonded products is required.
Records and reports must be retained for a total of 5 years (2
years at the site, and the remaining 3 years may be retained off-site).
All sources subject to these standards are required to submit initial
and semiannual reports.
Burden Statement: In the previously approved ICR, the estimated
number of respondents for this information collection was 13 with 26
responses per year. The annual industry reporting and recordkeeping
burden for this collection of information was 5,779 hours. The
respondent must report two times per year spending approximately 222
hours preparing each response.
The annual reporting and recordkeeping cost burden in the previous
ICR was approximately $100,000 of which the capital/startup costs were
$96,000 and the operation and maintenance costs were $4,000.
(11) NSPS for Nitric Acid Plants (40 CFR part 60, subpart G); EPA
ICR Number 1056.08; OMB Control Number 2060-0019; expiration date
January 31, 2004.
Affected Entities: Entities potentially affected by this action
applies to nitric acid production facility producing weak nitric acid
by either the pressure or atmospheric pressure process.
Abstract: The NSPS for Nitric Acid Plants (40 CFR part 60, subpart
G) was promulgated on June 14, 1974. All affected facilities in this
subpart 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; and the notification of the date of
the initial performance test.
The recordkeeping requirements for nitric acid plants consist of
the occurrence and duration of all startups, shutdowns, or malfunctions
of an affected facility, or any period during which the monitoring
system is inoperative. These notifications, reports, records and
semiannual reports, in general, apply to all NSPS subject sources.
Burden Statement: In the previously approved ICR, the estimated
number of respondents for this information collection was 35 with 71
responses per year. The annual industry reporting and recordkeeping
burden for this collection of information was 1,796 hours. The annual
public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of
information is estimated to average 25 hours per response.
The annual reporting and recordkeeping cost burden was
approximately $3,568,000 of which the capital/startup costs were
$68,000 and the operation and maintenance costs were $3,500,000.
(12) NESHAP for Off-Site Waste and Recovery Operations (40 CFR part
63, subpart DD); EPA ICR Number 1717.04; OMB Control Number 2060-0313;
expiration date January 31, 2004.
Affected Entities: Entities potentially affected by this action
applies to waste management facilities that receive off-site materials
and have operations that are regulated as hazardous waste treatment,
storage, and disposal facilities.
Abstract: The NESHAP for Off-Site Waste and Recovery Operations (40
CFR part 63, subpart DD) was promulgated on July 1, 1996. The
monitoring, recordkeeping, and reporting requirements outlined in the
standards are similar to those required for other NESHAP regulations.
Plants must demonstrate compliance with the standards by monitoring
their control devices and performing annual emissions testing. The
affected facilities must make a one-time-only notification. Respondents
are 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. Semiannual reports of excess emission are required.
Records and reports must be retained for a total of 5 years (2 years at
the site, and the remaining 3 years may be retained off-site).
Burden Statement: In the previously approved ICR, the estimated
number of respondents for this information collection was 250 with
1,000 responses per year. The annual industry reporting and
recordkeeping burden for this collection of information was 162,050
hours. Therefore, each respondent reported approximately four times per
year and spent 162 preparing each response. There were no capital and
startup costs or operation and maintenance costs associated with
continuous emission monitoring in the previous ICR.

M, was promulgated on March 8, 1974, and amended recently on February
14, 1989. 40 CFR part 60, subpart P, was promulgated on January 15,
1976. 40 CFR part 60, subpart Q, was promulgated on January 15, 1976.
40 CFR part 60, subpart R, was promulgated on January 15, 1976. 40 CFR
part 60, subpart S, was promulgated on July 25, 1977, and amended most
recently on February 14, 1989. 40 CFR part 60, subpart Z, was
promulgated on July 25, 1977, and amended most recently on February 14,
1990. These NSPS standards require sources to submit initial
notifications, conduct performance tests, and submit periodic reports.
The types of reports may include semiannual reports of excess emissions
by primary copper, lead, and zinc smelters and ferroalloy plants;
reports of excess emissions in each monthly or annual performance test
by aluminum reduction plants; and reports of product change by
ferroalloy plants. 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; any period during
which the monitoring system is inoperative; parametric monitoring data,
system maintenance and calibration. Records are required to be retained
for two years. These notifications, reports, and records are essential
in determining compliance with the standards.
Burden Statement: In the previously approved ICR, the estimated
number of respondents was 27 (i.e., 5 secondary brass or bronze
production plants, 13 primary copper smelters, 1 primary zinc smelter,
1 primary lead smelter, 6 primary aluminum reduction plants, and 1
ferroalloy production facility). The annual industry reporting and
recordkeeping burden for the previous information collection was
estimated to be 5,351 hours for a total of 82 responses per year.
Therefore, each respondent reported an average of three times per year
and spent about 65 hours preparing each response.
There were no capital/startup costs associated with continuous
emission monitors (CEMs) in the previous ICR. The operation and
maintenance costs associated with CEMs for the previous ICR are
$231,900.
(18) NESHAP for Gasoline Distribution Facilities (40 CFR part 63,
subpart R); EPA ICR Number 1659.05; OMB Control Number 2060-0325;
expiration date February 29, 2004.
Affected Entities: Entities potentially affected by this action are
new and existing bulk gasoline terminals and pipeline breakout stations
that are major sources of hazardous air pollutants (HAP) emissions or
are located at sites that are major sources of HAP emissions.
Abstract: The standards at 40 CFR part 63, subpart R, were
promulgated on December 14, 1994. The standards were revised on June
26, 1995, to correct errors in the printing of the emission screening
equation in the final standards, and amended on February 29, 1996, to
extend the initial compliance date for the equipment leak standard. The
standards were amended again June 12, 1996, to clarify the coverage of
gasoline loading racks at refineries with through-puts greater than
75,700 liters/day. Updated direct final standards were promulgated on
February 28, 1997, to implement a proposed settlement with the American
Petroleum Institute.
The monitoring, recordkeeping, and reporting requirements outlined
in the standards are similar to those required for other NESHAP
regulations. Respondents must submit one-time notifications of
applicability and reports on initial performance test results.
Respondents must develop and implement a startup, shutdown, and
malfunction plan and submit semiannual reports describing any
occurrence when the plan was not followed. Respondents must also
develop and implement an operation, maintenance, and monitoring plan
covering each affected facility and each emission control device. In
addition to the general requirements, this NESHAP requires respondents
to submit one-time reports of start of construction, anticipated and
actual startup dates, and physical or operational changes to existing
facilities. Reports of initial performance tests at bulk terminal
loading racks are also required and are necessary to show that the
installed control devices are meeting the emission limitations required
by the NESHAP. Annual reports of storage vessel inspections at all
affected facilities are required. Respondents must also submit
semiannual startup, shutdown, and malfunction reports, semiannual
excess emissions and continuous monitoring system performance reports,
and semiannual reports of equipment leaks not repaired within five days
or loadings of gasoline cargo tanks for which vapor tightness
documentation is not on file. Quarterly excess emissions reports are
required for control device monitoring parameter exceedances, equipment
leaks for which timely repair is not made, and reloadings of nonvapor
tightness certified cargo tanks. All affected bulk terminals must
maintain records of the cargo tank vapor tightness test data on the
facility premises.
Burden Statement: In the previously approved ICR, the estimated
number of respondents for this information collection was 263 with 526
responses per year. On the average, each respondent reported 2 times
per year and 62 hours were spent preparing each response. The
respondents provided reports semiannually, quarterly and on occasion.
In the previous ICR, the total annual reporting and recordkeeping
cost burden was approximately $851,000 which covered the operation and
maintenance costs associated with the continuous monitoring
requirements.

hazardous air pollutants (HAP). The affected facility covers
pharmaceutical manufacturing operations which include process vents,
storage tanks, equipment components, and wastewater systems.
Abstract: The NESHAP for Pharmaceutical Production (40 CFR part 63,
subpart GGG) was promulgated on September 21, 1998.
The monitoring, recordkeeping, and reporting requirements outlined
in the standards are similar to those required for other NESHAP
regulations. These standards require initial notifications, performance
tests, and periodic reports. 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 monitoring system is inoperative. Respondents subject
to these standards will provide a one-time report of initial
performance tests and semiannual reports of noncompliance.
Respondents subject to the provisions of this part shall maintain a
file of these measurements, and retain the file for at least five years
following the date of such measurements, maintenance reports, and
records.
Burden Statement: In the previously approved ICR, the estimated
number of respondents for this information collection was 103 with 209
responses per year. The annual industry reporting and recordkeeping
burden for this collection of information was 161,326 hours. Therefore,
each respondent reported approximately two times per year and spent an
average of 409 hours preparing each response.
[[Page 27070]]
The annual reporting and recordkeeping cost burden in the previous
ICR was $8,000 of which the capital/startup costs were $4,000 and the
operation and maintenance costs were $4,000.
(20) NSPS for Magnetic Tape Coating Facilities (40 CFR part 60,
subpart SSS); Docket ID Number OECA-2003-0023; EPA ICR Number 1135.08;
OMB Control Number 2060-0171; expiration date February 29, 2004.
Affected Entities: Magnetic tape coating facilities.
Abstract: The NSPS for Magnetic Tape Coating Facilities was
promulgated on October 3, 1988. These standards apply to each coating
operation and each piece of coating mix preparation equipment for which
construction, modification or reconstruction commenced after January
22, 1986. Volatile organic compounds (VOC) are the pollutants regulated
under the standards.
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 also are required to maintain records of the
occurrence and duration of any startup, shutdown, or malfunction in the
operation of an affected facility.
Monitoring requirements specific to the magnetic tape coating
facilities consist mainly of VOC measurements, including monthly
records of VOC content of all coatings applied, total amount and
percent VOC recovered, and the total amount of coating applied. In
addition, facilities utilizing less solvent annually than the
applicable cutoff shall make semiannual estimates of projected annual
amount of solvent use and maintain records of actual solvent use.
Each owner or operator of affected magnetic tape coating facilities
shall install, calibrate, maintain, and operate a monitoring device
that continuously indicates and records the concentration level of
organic compounds in the outlet gas stream. Certain facilities will
also be required to continuously measure and record either the
combustion temperature of the incinerator (for those facilities
controlled by a thermal incinerator) or the condenser exhaust
temperature.
Burden Statement: In the previously approved ICR, the estimated
number of respondents for this information collection was 13 with 56
responses per year. The annual industry reporting and recordkeeping
burden for this collection of information was 3,891 hours. On the
average, each respondent reported 4.3 times per year and 70 hours were
spent preparing each response. The annual reporting and recordkeeping
cost burden associated with continuous emission monitoring in the
previous ICR and annualized over its expected useful life was $93,000
