SUMMARY: In compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C.

Request (ICR) for Standards of Performance for New Stationary Sources--
Wool Fiberglass Insulation Manufacturing Plants--NSPS Subpart PPP (OMB 
#2060-0114) described below has been forwarded to the Office of 
Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval. The ICR describes 
the nature of the information collection and its expected burden and 
cost; where appropriate, it includes the actual data collection 
instrument.

DATES: Comments must be submitted on or before February 26, 1997.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

    Title: Standards of Performance for Wool Fiberglass Insulation 
Manufacturing Plants (OMB Control No.2060-0114; EPA ICR No 1160.05, 
expiring 4/30/97). This is a request for extension of a currently 
approved collection.
    Abstract: The Administrator has judged that PM emissions from wool 
fiberglass insulation manufacturing plants cause or contribute to air 
pollution that may reasonably be anticipated to endanger public health 
or welfare. Owners/operators of wool fiberglass insulation 
manufacturing plants must notify EPA of construction, modification, 
startups, shut downs, date and results of initial performance test and 
provide semiannual reports of excess emissions.
    In order to ensure compliance with the standards promulgated to 
protect public health, adequate reporting and recordkeeping is 
necessary. In the absence of such information enforcement personnel 
would be unable to determine whether the standards are being met on a 
continuous basis, as required by the Clean Air Act.
    An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required 
to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a
