TITLE: Reporting and Recordkeeping Requirements for the New Source 
Performance Standards (NSPS) for Rubber Tire Manufacturing Industry 
(ICR No. 1158.05; OMB No. 2060-0156).

ABSTRACT: This ICR is for an extension of an existing information 
collection in support of the Clean Air Act, as described under the 
general NSPS at 40 CFR Part 60.7-60.8 and the specific NSPS, for 
volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions from the rubber tire 
manufacturing industry, at 40 CFR Part 60.540-60.546. The information 
will be used by the EPA to direct monitoring, inspection, and 
enforcement efforts, thereby ensuring compliance with the NSPS.
    Owners and operators of affected facilities must provide EPA with: 
(1) Notification of construction, reconstruction, or modification; (2) 
anticipated and actual dates of facility startup; (3) initial and, 
where appropriate, monthly performance test data and results; (4) 
physical and operational changes; (5) initial performance test results; 
(6) initial and annual formulation data or Method 24 results to verify 
VOC content of water-based sprays; and (7) a semiannual report of any 
monitored operating parameter or emission rate that falls outside a 
specified limit.
    All affected facilities must maintain records on the facility 
operation that document: (1) The occurrence and duration of any 
startups, shutdowns, [[Page 31154]] and malfunctions; (2) VOC use and 
emission reduction system operating data; (3) monthly performance test 
results; (4) formulation data or results of Method 24 analysis of 
water-based sprays containing less than 1.0 percent of VOC; and (5) 
number of tires processed or the number of beads cemented if affected 
facility elects to comply with a g/tire or g/bead limitation. All 
subject facilities must maintain records related to compliance for two 
years.

BURDEN STATEMENT: Public reporting burden for facilities subject to 
this collection of information is estimated to average 31 hours per 
response including time for reviewing instructions, searching existing 
data sources, gathering and maintaining data, and completing and 
reviewing the collection of information. Public recordkeeping burden is 
estimated to average 352 hours annually.

RESPONDENTS: Owners or operators of subject rubber tire manufacturing 
facilities which commenced construction, reconstruction, or 
modification after January 20, 1983.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 31.
    Estimated Number of Responses Per Respondent: 2.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden on Respondents: 10,914 hours.
    Frequency of Collection: One-time notifications for new facilities; 
annual and semiannual reporting, as appropriate, for subject 
facilities.
    Send comments regarding the burden estimate, or any other aspect of 
this collection of information, including suggestions for reducing 
burden, (please refer to EPA ICR #1158.05 and OMB #2060-0156) to:
