Office of Air and Radiation

    Title: New Source Performance Standard (NSPS) for Recordkeeping and 
Reporting for Lead Acid Battery Manufacturing (subpart FF)-(EPA ICR No. 
1072.04; OMB No. 2060-0081). This is a request for renewal of a 
currently approved information collection.
    Abstract: Owners or operators of lead acid battery manufacturing 
facilities must provide EPA or the delegated State regulatory authority 
with 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 notification of the date of the initial 
performance test and the results of this 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.
    Owners or operators of affected facilities using scrubbers are 
required to install, calibrate, maintain, and operate a monitoring 
device that measures and records pressure drop across the scrubbing 
system. Owners or operators must maintain a file of these measurements, 
and retain the file for at least two years.
    The notifications and reports enable EPA or the delegated State to 
determine that best demonstrated technology is installed and properly 
operated and maintained and to schedule inspections.
    Burden Statement: The burden for this collection of information is 
estimated to average 42.6 hours per response for reporting and 87.5 
hours per recordkeeper annually. This estimate includes the time needed 
to review instructions, develop a recall plan, create and gather data, 
and review and store the information.
    Respondents: The owners or operators of Lead Acid Battery 
Manufacturing facilities.
    Estimated No. of Respondents: 3.
    Estimated No. of Responses per Respondent: 1.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden on Respondents: 3,540.
    Frequency of Collection: One-time.
    Send comments regarding the burden estimate, or any other aspect of 
the information collection, including suggestions for reducing the 
burden to:
