SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

    Title: Standards of Performance for Magnetic Tape Coating 
Facilities (OMB Control No. 2060-0171; EPA ICR No. 1135.06).
    Expiration date: 9/30/97. This is a request for extension of a

    Abstract: The Administrator has judged that VOC emissions from

[[Page 31598]]

magnetic tape coating facilities cause or contribute to air pollution 
that may reasonably be anticipated to endanger public health or 
welfare. Owners/operators of magnetic tape coating facilities 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 
currently valid OMB control number. The OMB control numbers for EPA's 
regulations are listed in 40 CFR part 9 and 48 CFR Chapter 15. The 
Federal Register Notice required under 5 CFR 1320.8(d), soliciting 
comments on this collection of information was published on March 5, 
1997 and no comments were received.
    Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping 
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 
3982.2 hours. 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 
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.
    Respondents/Affected Entities: Magnetic Tape Manufacturing.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 14.
    Frequency of Response: 2.
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 3982.2 hours.
    Estimated Total Annualized Cost Burden: $139,377.
    Send comments on the Agency's need for this information, the 
accuracy of the provided burden estimates, and any suggested methods 
for minimizing respondent burden, including through the use of 
automated collection techniques to the following addresses. Please 
refer to EPA ICR No. 1135.06 and OMB Control No. 2060-0171 in any 
correspondence.
