Office of Air and Radiation

    Title: New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for Nitric Acid 
Plants (Subpart G)--Information Requirements. (EPA ICR No. 1056.05; OMB 
Control No. 2060-0019). This is a renewal of a currently approved 
collection.
    Abstract: Owners or operators of nitric acid plants must provide 
EPA, or the delegated State regulatory authority, with one-time 
notifications and reports, and must keep records, as required of all 
facilities subject to the general NSPS requirements. In addition, 
facilities subject to this subpart must install, calibrate, maintain, 
and operate a continuous monitoring system (CMS) for the measurement 
and recording of nitrogen oxides emissions, and must notify EPA or the 
State regulatory authority of the date upon which demonstration of the 
CMS' performance commences. Owners or operators must submit semiannual 
reports of excess nitrogen oxides emissions and of monitoring system 
performance. The notifications and reports enable EPA or the delegated 
State regulatory authority to determine that best demonstrated 
technology is installed and properly operated and maintained and to 
schedule inspections.
    Burden Statement: The public reporting burden for this collection 
of information is estimated to average 9 hours per response for 
reporting, and 175 hours per recordkeeper annually. The estimated 
reporting burden includes the time needed to review instructions, 
search existing data sources, gather the data needed and review the 
collection of information.
    Respondents: Owners and operators of nitric acid plants.
    Estimated No. of Respondents: 30.
    Estimated No. of Responses Per Respondent: 2.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden on Respondents: 5,800 hours.
    Frequency of Collection: Once and semiannually.
    Send comments regarding the burden estimate, or any other aspect of 
the information collection, including suggestions for reducing the 
burden, to:
