C. Individual ICRs

(1) NSPS Subpart D, Fossil Fuel Fired Steam Generators; EPA ICR Number 
1052, and OMB Control Number 2060-0026, Expires September 30, 1999
    This standard applies to each fossil-fuel-fired steam generating 
unit of more than 73 MW heat input rate (250 million Btu per hour), 
that were constructed after August 17, 1971 and before September 18, 
1978. Owners or operators must provide EPA or the delegated State 
regulatory authority with the following one-time-only reports 
(specified in 40 CFR 60.7): Notifications of the anticipated and actual 
date of start up, notification of the date of construction or 
reconstruction, notification of any physical or operational changes to 
an existing facility which may increase the emission rate of any 
regulated air pollutant, notification of the date upon which 
demonstration of the continuous monitoring system performance 
commences, notification of the date of the initial performance test, 
and results of the performance test. Owners and operators are also 
required to maintain records of the occurrence and duration of any 
start up, shutdown, or malfunction in the operation of an affected 
facility, or malfunction in the operation of the air pollution control 
device, or any periods during which the monitoring system is 
inoperative. Records shall be retained for at least two years.
    In addition to reporting and recordkeeping requirements, facilities 
subject to this subpart must install, calibrate, maintain, and operate 
a continuous monitoring system (CMS) to monitor SO2, 
NOX and opacity (specified in 40 CFR 60.45), and must notify 
EPA or the State regulatory authority of the date upon which 
demonstration of the CMS commences. Owners or operators must submit 
quarterly reports indicating whether compliance was achieved, and their 
assessment of monitoring system performance (specified in 40 CFR 60.7).
    Burden Statement: The Agency computed the burden for each of the 
recordkeeping and reporting requirements applicable to the industry. 
Where applicable, the Agency identified specific tasks and made 
assumptions, while being consistent with the concept of burden under 
the Paper Reduction Act. The estimates were based on the assumption 
that there would be no new affected facilities, because new utility 
boilers constructed after September 18, 1978 are subject to subpart Da, 
and boilers constructed after June 19, 1986 are subject to subpart Db. 
Therefore, the requirements for initial notifications and the 
performance test are not included. Approximately 660 sources are 
currently subject to the standard. It was also assumed each source 
operates 365 days per year.
    For recordkeeping, it was estimated that for each source it would 
take 91.25 person-hours per year to check, maintain, and operate the 
continuous emission monitors. For reporting, it was estimated that for 
each source it would take 4 person-hours per year for the quarterly 
reports of excess emissions and monitoring system performance.
(2) NSPS Subpart Da, Electric Utility Steam Generating Units; EPA ICR 
Number 1053, and OMB Control Number 2060-0023, Expires September 30, 
1999
    This standard applies to each electric utility steam generating 
unit which is capable of combusting more than 73 MW (250 million Btu/
hr) heat input of fossil fuel, and for which construction or 
modification is commenced after September 18, 1978. Owners or operators 
must provide EPA, or the delegated State regulatory authority with the 
following one-time-only reports: Notifications of the anticipated and 
actual date of start up, notification of the date of construction or 
reconstruction, notification of any physical or operational changes to 
an existing facility which may increase the emission rate of any 
regulated air pollutant, notification of the date upon which 
demonstration of the continuous monitoring system commences, 
notification of the date of the initial performance test, and results 
of the performance test. Owners and operators are also required to 
maintain records of the occurrence and duration of any start up, 
shutdown, or malfunction in the operation of an affected facility, or 
malfunction in the operation of the air pollution control device, or 
any periods during which the monitoring system is inoperative. Records 
shall be retained for at least two years.

[[Page 30014]]

    In addition to reporting and recordkeeping requirements specified 
in 40 CFR 60.7, facilities subject to this subpart must install, 
calibrate, maintain, and operate a continuous monitoring system (CMS) 
to monitor SO2, NOX and opacity (specified in 40 
CFR 60.7 and 40 CFR 60.47a), and must notify EPA or the State 
regulatory authority of the date upon which demonstration of the CMS 
performance commences (specified in 40 CFR 60.47a). Owners or operators 
must submit quarterly reports indicating whether compliance was 
achieved, and their assessment of monitoring system performance 
(specified in 40 CFR 60.49a).
    Burden Statement: The Agency computed the burden for each of the 
recordkeeping and reporting requirements applicable to the industry. 
The estimates were based on the assumption that there would be seven 
new affected facilities each year, and there were an average of 103 
sources in existence for the three years covered by the ICR. It was 
also assumed each source operates 365 days per year.
    For each new source, it was estimated that it would take: One 
person-hour to read the instructions; 10.4 person-hours to write the 
initial notifications; and 290.8 person-hours to conduct the initial 
performance test and reference method 9 test (assuming that 20% of the 
tests must be repeated). For each source, it was estimated that it 
would take: 32 person-hours to write quarterly reports of excess 
emissions and monitoring system performance; and 182.5 person-hours to 
check, maintain, and operate continuous emission monitors.
(3) NSPS Subpart Db, Industrial-Commercial-Institutional Steam 
Generating Units; EPA ICR Number 1088, and OMB Control Number 2060-
0072, Expires August 31, 1999
    Affected facilities are each steam generating unit that commences 
construction, modification or reconstruction after June 19, 1984, and 
that has a heat input capacity from fuels combusted in the steam 
generating unit of greater than 29 MW (100 million Btu/hour). Owners or 
operators of the affected facilities described must make 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; notification of demonstration of the continuous monitoring system 
(CMS); notification of the date of the initial performance test; and 
the results of the initial performance 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. These notifications, reports and records are required, in 
general, of all sources subject to NSPS.
    Burden Statement: The Agency computed the burden for each of the 
recordkeeping and reporting requirements applicable to the industry. 
Where applicable, the Agency identified specific tasks and made 
assumptions, while being consistent with the concept of burden under 
the Paper Reduction Act. The estimate was based on the assumption that 
there would be 58 new affected facilities each year, and that there 
were approximately 785 sources in existence for the three years covered 
by the ICR. The annual burden of reporting and recordkeeping 
requirements for facilities subject to subpart Db are summarized by the 
following information.
    The reporting requirements are as follows: Read instructions (1 
person-hour); initial performance test (330 person-hours); 24-hour test 
for gas units (250 person-hours); repeat of initial performance test 
(330 person-hours); repeat of 24-hour test for gas units (250 person-
hours) (Assume 20% of tests are repeated); demonstration of CEMS: For 
SO2 (150 person-hours), for PM (100 person-hours), for 
NOX (350 person-hours); repeat demonstration of CEMS (Assume 
20% repeat rate); annual compliance tests for NOX (250 
person-hours); Appendix F annual accuracy test: For SO2 (146 
person-hours), for NOX (146 person-hours); Appendix F 
quarterly audit, SO2: For in-situ (125 person-hours), for 
extractive (36 person-hours); Appendix F quarterly audit, 
NOX: For in-situ (125 person-hours), for extractive (36 
person-hours) (Assume that 25% of units have an in-situ CEMS).
    Sources are required to write reports on: Notification of 
construction/reconstruction (2 person-hours), notification of 
anticipated startup (2 person-hours), notification of actual startup (2 
person-hours), monitoring plan (4 person-hours), notification of 
initial performance test: For SO2 (2 person-hours), for PM 
(2 person-hours), for NOX (2 person-hours); report of 
initial performance test: For SO2 (16 person-hours), for 
NOX (16 person-hours); notification of CMS demonstration: 
For SO2 (2 person-hours), for PM (2 person-hours), for 
NOX (2 person-hours). Quarterly reports for SO2 
(16 person-hours); quarterly reports for PM: Excess (16 person-hours), 
no excess (8 person-hours); quarterly reports for NOX: CEMS 
compliance (16 person-hours), excess (16 person-hours), no excess (8 
person-hours); Appendix F quarterly reports: For SO2 (11 
person-hours), for NOX (11 person-hours). Recordkeeping 
requirements include the following: Maintaining records of startups, 
shutdowns, and malfunctions (1.5 person-hours); maintaining records of 
all measurements (1.5 person-hours).
(4) NSPS Subpart I, Hot Mix Asphalt; EPA ICR Number 1127, and OMB 
Control Number 2060-0083, Expires September 30, 1999
    The New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for hot mix asphalt 
facilities were proposed on June 11, 1973 and promulgated on July 25, 
1977. These standards apply to each hot mix asphalt plant commencing 
construction, modification, or reconstruction after the date of 
proposal. The affected facility is each hot mix asphalt facility 
comprised only of any combination of the following: Dryers; systems for 
screening, handling, storing, and weighing hot aggregate; systems for 
loading, transferring, and storing mineral filler, systems for mixing 
hot asphalt; and the loading, transfer and storage systems associated 
with emission control systems.
    Approximately 1280 sources are currently subject to the standard 
and it is estimated that an additional 60 sources per year will become 
subject to the standard in the next three years. Particulate matter is 
the pollutant regulated under this Subpart.
    Owners or operators of the affected facilities described must make 
the following one-time only reports: Notification of the date of 
construction or reconstruction; notification of the anticipated and 
actual date of a start up; notification of any physical or operational 
change to an existing facility which may increase the regulated 
pollutant emission rate; notification of the date of the initial 
performance test; and results of the initial performance test including 
information necessary to determine the conditions of the performance 
test measurements and results, including particulate matter 
concentration and opacity. Owners or operators are also required to 
maintain records of the occurrence and duration of any startup, shut 
down, or malfunction in the operation of an affected facility as well 
as the nature and cause of the malfunction (if known) and corrective 
measures taken.
    Any owner or operator subject to the provisions of NSPS subpart I, 
shall maintain a file for a minimum of two

[[Page 30015]]

years following the date of such measurements, maintenance reports and 
records.
    Burden Statement: The average annual burden to industry over the 
next three years from these recordkeeping and reporting requirements is 
estimated at 4611 person-hours. Initial performance test require 
approximately 24 person-hours. From experience with the regulations we 
assume 20% of the initial performance test will be repeated due to 
failure. The written notifications of construction, modification and 
notification of initial performance test require 2.0 hours each. 
Reference Method 9 tests require 4 hours each. It is estimated to take 
1.5 hours per year per plant to record start-ups, shut-downs, and 
malfunctions.
(5) NSPS Subpart BB, Kraft Pulp Mills; EPA ICR Number 1055, and OMB 
Control Number 2060-0021, Expires September 30, 1999
    This ICR contains recordkeeping and reporting requirements that are 
mandatory for compliance with subpart BB, New Source Performance 
Standards for Kraft Pulp Mills. In the Administrator's judgement, 
particulate matter and Total Reduced Sulfur (TRS) from kraft pulp mills 
cause or contribute to air pollution that may reasonably be anticipated 
to endanger public health or welfare. Therefore, New Source Performance 
Standards have been promulgated for this source category as required 
under section 111 of the Clean Air Act.
    The control of emissions of particulate matter and TRS requires not 
only the installation of properly designed equipment, but also the 
proper operation and maintenance of that equipment. These standards 
rely on the capture of pollutants vented to a control device. Owners or 
operators of kraft pulp mills subject to NSPS subpart BB are required 
to make initial notifications for construction, startup, and 
performance testing. They must also report the results of a performance 
test, and demonstration of a continuous monitoring system if 
applicable. After the initial recordkeeping and reporting requirements, 
semiannual excess emission reports are required. 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 malfunction in the operation of the air pollution control 
device, or any periods during which the monitoring system is 
inoperative. These notifications, reports and records are required in 
general, of all sources subject to NSPS.
    Burden Statement: There are 74 sources subject to the standards. It 
is estimated that 2 additional sources per year will become subject to 
the standard. The current ICR estimates average annual burden to the 
industry to be 16,237 person hours. The following is a breakdown of 
burden used in the ICR. Burden is calculated as two hours for 
respondents to write the reports for; notification of construction or 
reconstruction, notification of physical or operational changes, 
notification of anticipated startup, notification of actual startup, 
notification of initial performance test, notification of demonstration 
of CMS. Initial performance tests are allocated 370 burden hours. It is 
assumed that 20% of all affected facilities will have to repeat 
performance tests. The ICR allocates four hours for Method 9.
    The recordkeeping burden is estimated to be 30 minutes to enter 
records of operating parameters. It is assumed that the plant will 
operate 350 days a year, therefore, this information will be recorded 
350 times a year. Sources which have excess emissions are required to 
submit excess emission reports. These reports are allocated 16 burden 
hours with an average of 2 reports per year. There is no additional 
third party burden relevant to this ICR.
(6) NSPS Subpart DD, Grain Elevators; EPA ICR Number 1130, and OMB 
Control Number 2060-0082, Expires November 30, 1999
    Grain terminal elevators and grain storage elevators as defined at 
40 CFR 60.301(c) and (f). Potentially affected facilities include each 
truck unloading station, truck loading station, barge and ship 
unloading station, barge and ship loading station, railcar unloading 
station, railcar loading station, grain dryer, and all grain handling 
operations at any grain terminal elevator or any grain storage 
elevator. There are 66 sources subject to the standard. EPA expects the 
industry to grow at the rate of one additional source each year. The 
regulated pollutant is particulate matter.
    The NSPS general provisions require owners or operators of the 
affected facilities subject to NSPS subpart DD to make the following 
one-time-only reports: Notification of the date of construction or 
reconstruction 40 CFR 60.7(a)(1), notification of the anticipated date 
of startup 40 CFR 60.7(a)(2), notification of actual date of startup 40 
CFR 60.7(a)(3), notification of any physical or operational change to 
an existing facility that may increase the rate of emission of the 
regulated pollutant 40 CFR 60.7(a)(4), notification of the date of the 
initial performance test 40 CFR 60.8(d). The results of the initial 
performance test, 40 CFR 60.8(a), including information necessary to 
determine the conditions of the performance test and performance test 
measurements and results, including particulate matter concentration 
and opacity must be reported. Records must be maintained of performance 
test results 40 CFR 60.7(c) for at least two years after the date of 
measurements 40 CFR 60.7(f), including performance test measurements, 
and all other information required by the general provisions in a form 
suitable for inspection. Records must be maintained of the occurrence 
and duration of any startup, shutdown, or malfunction in the operation 
of an affected facility, as well as the nature and cause of the 
malfunction (if known) and corrective measures taken, 40 CFR 60.7(b).
    Subpart DD does not specify a retention time. In the general 
provisions, section 60.7(f) requires owners and operators to retain 
facility records for at least two years after the date of measurement.
    Burden Statement: The estimated annual burden is calculated as one 
hour for the newly subject respondent to read the reporting 
requirements; 24 hours for the new respondent to perform the initial 
performance test, 4.8 hours annually to account for the estimated 20 
percent of performance tests that must be repeated, 4 hours for the new 
respondent to perform the Method 9 tests, 0.8 hours annually to account 
for the estimated 20 percent of Method 9 tests that must be repeated, 
two hours to prepare and send the notification of construction/
reconstruction of the newly-subject source, two hours to prepare and 
send notification of anticipated startup, two hours to prepare and send 
notification of actual startup, and two hours to prepare and send 
notification of the initial performance test. Together, these 
information collection activities required of the anticipated one new 
source annually amount to and average of 42.6 person hours. 
Additionally, EPA estimates that established sources will spend an 
average of an hour annually entering information regarding startups, 
shutdowns, and malfunctions.
(7) NSPS Subpart HH, Lime Manufacturing; EPA ICR Number 1167, and OMB 
Control Number 2060-0063, Expires August 31, 1999
    The New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for lime manufacturing 
plants were proposed on May 3, 1977 and promulgated on April 26, 1984. 
These standards apply to each rotary lime kiln used in lime

[[Page 30016]]

manufacturing, which commenced construction, modification or 
reconstruction after May 3, 1977. These standards do not apply to 
facilities used in the manufacture of lime at kraft pulp mills. 
Approximately 38 sources are currently subject to NSPS, subpart HH. It 
is estimated that an additional two sources per year will become 
subject to the standard in the next three years.
    Particulate matter is the pollutant regulated under this subpart. 
The standards limit particulate emissions to 0.03 kilogram per megagram 
(0.60 lb/ton) of stone feed, and limit opacity to 15% when exiting from 
a dry emission control device.
    Owners or operators of the affected facilities described must make 
the following one-time only reports: Notification of the date of 
construction and 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; notification of the demonstration of the 
continuous monitoring system (CMS); notification of the date of the 
initial performance test; and results of the initial performance 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. These notifications, reports and 
records are required, in general, of all sources subject to NSPS.
    Owners or operators of the rotary kilns using a control device with 
a multiple stack exhaust or roof monitor may instead monitor visible 
emissions at least once a day by a certified observer using Method 9. 
Owners or operators of affected facilities using a wet scrubber 
emission control device shall install, calibrate, maintain, and operate 
a continuous monitoring device which monitors the pressure loss of the 
gas stream through the scrubber, and a continuous monitoring device 
which monitors the scrubbing liquid supply pressure to the control 
device.
    Semiannual excess emissions reports and monitoring system 
performance reports shall include all 6-minute periods during which the 
average opacity of the visible emissions from any lime kiln is greater 
than 15% or for wet scrubbers, any period in which the scrubber 
pressure drop is greater than 30% below the rate established during the 
performance test, and reports of visible emissions; the date and time 
of the exceedance or deviance; the nature and cause of the malfunction 
(if known) and corrective measures taken; and identification of the 
time period during which the CMS was inoperative. This does not include 
zero and span checks nor typical repairs or adjustments.
    Any owner or operator subject to the provisions of this part shall 
maintain a file for a minimum of two years following the date of such 
measurements, maintenance reports and records.
    Burden Statement: The average annual burden to industry over the 
next three years from these recordkeeping and reporting requirements is 
estimated at 3,363.6 person-hours. The initial performance test 
requires approximately 280 person-hours. (Assuming 20% of the initial 
performance test will be repeated due to failure.) The Reference Method 
9 test requires 4.0 hours. The written notifications of construction, 
modification, notification of initial performance test and 
demonstration of CMS require 2.0 person-hours each. Records of 
startups, shutdown and malfunctions also require 2.0 hours to enter 
information. Excess emission reports require 8.0 person-hours.
(8) NSPS Subpart RR, Pressure Sensitive Tape and Label; EPA ICR Number 
0658, and OMB Control Number 2060-0004, Expires September 30, 1999
    This ICR contains recordkeeping and reporting requirements that are 
mandatory for compliance with subpart RR, New Source Performance 
Standards for facilities that manufacture pressure sensitive tape and 
labels. In the Administrator's judgement volatile organic compounds 
(VOC's) from this industry contribute to air pollution that may 
reasonably be anticipated to endanger public health and welfare. 
Therefore, this NSPS was promulgated under Clean Air Act (CAA) section 
111 for this source category. EPA is granted the authority to require 
facilities to provide information concerning their air emissions under 
CAA sections 111(a) and 114(a).
    Owners and operators of the affected facilities must make the 
following one time-only reports: Notification of the date of 
construction or reconstruction; notification of the anticipated and 
actual dates of initial start-up; notification of any physical change 
to an existing facility that may increase the regulated pollutant 
emission rate; notification of initial performance test and the results 
of the initial performance test. Owners or operators are also required 
to maintain records of the occurrence and duration of any start-up, 
shut-down or malfunction in the operation of an affected facility, or 
any period during which the monitoring system is inoperative. These 
notifications, reports and records are required, in general, of all 
sources subject to NSPS.
    Monitoring requirements specific to these coating operations 
consist of maintaining a calendar month record of all coatings used and 
their VOC content, the amount of solvent applied and recovered when a 
solvent recovery device is used, temperature of exhaust gases if 
thermal incineration is used, temperature of exhaust gases both 
upstream and downstream of the catalyst bed if catalytic incineration 
is used and an indication that a hood or enclosure device to capture 
fugitive emissions is operational. Any affected facility that inputs to 
the coating process 45 Mg of VOC or less per 12 month period is not 
subject to the emission limits of 40 CFR 60.442. However, the affected 
facility shall maintain a 12 month record of the amount of solvent 
applied in the coating at the facility. When thermal or catalytic 
incineration is performed, the owner or operator shall keep records of 
each three-hour period during which the incinerator temperature 
averaged more than 38 degrees Celsius below the temperature of the most 
recent performance test. Records of this information shall be kept at 
the source for a period of two years. The recordkeeping requirements 
for the surface coating industry of pressure sensitive tape and labels 
consist of the occurrence and duration of any start-up and malfunctions 
as described. They include the initial performance test results 
including information necessary to determine conditions of the 
performance test, and performance test measurements and results 
including, for affected facilities complying with the standard without 
the use of add-on controls, a weighted average of the mass of solvent 
used per mass of coating solids applied; the weighted average mass of 
VOC per mass of coating solids applied at facilities controlled by a 
solvent recovery device; and the weighted average mass of VOC per mass 
of coating solids applied being used at a facility controlled by a 
solvent destruction device; and the results of the monthly performance 
and records of operating parameters. Records of start-ups, shutdowns, 
and malfunctions should be noted as they occur. Any owner or operator 
subject to the provisions of this part shall maintain a file of these 
measurements, and retain the file for at least two years following the 
date of such measurements and records. The reporting requirements for 
this industry currently include the

[[Page 30017]]

initial notifications listed, the initial performance test results, 
quarterly reports of excess VOC emissions, and semiannual reports when 
no excess emissions are recorded. Semiannual monitoring system results 
shall include temperature variances of the control device, the date and 
time of the deviance, the nature and cause of the malfunction (if 
known) and corrective measures taken, and identification of the time 
period during which the continuous monitoring system was inoperative. 
Notifications inform the Agency or delegated authority about when a 
source becomes subject to the standard. The reviewing authority can 
then inspect the source to check if the pollution control devices are 
properly installed and operated. Performance test reports are needed as 
these are the Agency's record of a source's initial capability to 
comply with the emissions standard. The semiannual reports are used for 
problem identification, and a check on source operation and 
maintenance, and for compliance determinations. This collected 
information is used by the Agency to efficiently monitor industry 
compliance with NSPS. In the absence of collecting such information, 
continuous monitoring of compliance with the standards could be ensured 
only through continuous on-site inspections.
    Burden Statement: The reporting requirements for this information 
collection consist of performance testing, notifications and VOC 
emission reporting. EPA estimates that each initial performance test 
will take 60 hours to complete and that 45 new or modified facilities 
will be required to conduct the tests each year and that about 20 
percent will fail and have to re-test. In addition, there are monthly 
performance tests which take approximately 1 hour to conduct, for a 
total of 12 hours per year per facility. These are conducted to ensure 
that the pollution control systems are working. In terms of the 
notification requirements, EPA estimates that on average it takes two 
hours a piece to prepare the four different notifications for a new 
plant, notification of construction, anticipated start-up, actual 
start-up, initial performance test, and submission of the initial 
performance test. Each facility is required to report on a semiannual 
basis the amount of emissions that the facility emitted in excess of 
the emission standard. Assuming that a facility would submit one report 
a year for excess emissions in addition to the required semiannual 
emission report a facility would spend about 5 hours preparing each 
report for a total of 10 hours per year. For those facilities using 
incineration (assume 80 percent of all facilities) to control 
emissions, exhaust gas temperature reports would be submitted 
semiannually and would take approximately 4 hours to prepare for a 
total of 8 hours per facility. The emissions recordkeeping takes 
approximately 15 minutes per day and assuming that the facility is 
operational for 250 days a year the time expended on this activity 
would be 62 hours and 30 minutes. An existing facility that is in 
compliance will spend about 92 hours and 30 minutes complying with the 
standard. A facility that is new or that has been modified will spend 
an additional 68 hours complying with the performance test and 
notifications for new facilities. EPA estimates that there were 350 
affected facilities at the time of the previous ICR renewal. The total 
industry annual burden according to EPA's estimate is 54,921 hours.
(9) NSPS Subpart SS, Surface Coating of Large Appliances; EPA ICR 
Number 0659, and OMB Control Number 2060-0108, Expires October 31, 1999
    The New Source Performance Standard (NSPS) for Large Appliance 
Surface Coating was proposed on December 24, 1980 and promulgated on 
October 27, 1982. The standards apply to each surface coating operation 
in a large appliance surface coating line commencing construction, 
modification or reconstruction after December 24, 1980. Approximately 
294 sources are currently subject to the standard. It is estimated that 
an additional 26 sources per year will become subject to the standard 
in the next three years. Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are the 
pollutants regulated under NSPS Subpart SS.
    Owners or operators of the affected facilities described must make 
the following one-time only reports: Notification of the date of 
construction or reconstruction; notification of the anticipated and 
actual dates of a start up; notification of any physical or operational 
change to an existing facility which may increase the regulated 
pollutant emission rate; notification of the date of the initial 
performance test; and results of the initial performance test. Owners 
or operators are also required to maintain records of the occurrence 
and duration of any startup, shut down, or malfunction in the operation 
of an affected facility, or any period during which the monitoring 
system is inoperative. These notifications, reports and records are 
required, in general, of all sources subject to NSPS.
    Recordkeeping and reporting requirements include the performance 
test results including the type of coating used, and the VOC content. 
Subpart SS requires daily records of temperature if thermal 
incineration is used. For catalytic incineration daily records of gas 
stream temperature both upstream and downstream are required, or a 
daily record of the quantity of solvent recovered if a solvent recovery 
device is used. Monthly averages are calculated, and any affected 
facility shall report quarterly excess emissions or semiannual reports 
if no excess emissions occur.
    Any owner or operator subject to the provisions of NSPS subpart SS, 
shall maintain at the source, for a period of at least two years, 
records of all data calculations used to determine monthly VOC 
emissions from each affected facility and to determine the monthly 
emissions limit, where applicable.
    Burden Statement: There are currently 294 facilities currently 
subject to the standard. It is estimated that an additional 26 sources 
per year will become subject to the standard over the next three years 
of the ICR. It is assumed that there is no net growth in the number of 
facilities. New sources will replace existing sources. Initial 
performance and repeat performance tests require approximately 60 
person-hours each. (Assuming 20% of the initial performance test will 
be repeated due to failure.) The initial notifications require 2 hours. 
Semiannual emissions reporting will require 5 hours. Temperature 
variance reports require 4 person-hours. Eighty percent of sources use 
incineration. Recordkeeping requirements of monthly performance test 
require one hour and 0.25 hours is needed to record operating 
parameters.
(10) NSPS Subpart TT, Metal Coil Surface Coating; EPA ICR Number 0660, 
and OMB Control Number 2060-0107, Expires October 31, 1999
    The New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for Metal Coil Surface 
Coating were proposed on January 5, 1981 and promulgated on November 1, 
1982. The standards apply to the following facilities in Metal Coil 
Surface Coating operation: Each prime coat operation, each finish coat 
operation, and each prime and finish coat operation cured 
simultaneously where the finish coat is applied wet on wet over the 
prime coat and both coatings are cured simultaneously. These standards 
apply to metal coil surface coating facilities commencing construction, 
modification or reconstruction after January 5, 1981.

[[Page 30018]]

    Approximately 143 sources are currently subject to the standard. It 
is estimated that an additional 6 sources per year will become subject 
to the standard in the next three years. Volatile organic compounds 
(VOCs) are the pollutants regulated under NSPS subpart TT.
    Owners or operators of the affected facilities described must make 
the following one-time only reports: Notification of the date of 
construction or reconstruction; notification of the anticipated and 
actual dates of a start up; notification of any physical or operational 
change to an existing facility which may increase the regulated 
pollutant emission rate; notification of the date of the initial 
performance test; and results of the initial performance test. Owners 
or operators are also required to maintain records of the occurrence 
and duration of any startup, shut down, or malfunction in the operation 
of an affected facility, or any period during which the monitoring 
system is inoperative.
    Monitoring requirements specific to Metal Coil Surface Coating 
Operations requires the owner or operator to compute and record the 
average VOC content of coating applied during each calendar month for 
each affected facility. Initial compliance reports are required. There 
are specific recordkeeping requirements in section 60.465 depending on 
whether low VOC content coatings are used or higher VOC content 
coatings are used in conjunction with an emission control device. Where 
compliance is achieved through the use of low VOC-content coating 
without emission control devices or through the use of higher VOC-
content coating in conjunction with emission control devices, each 
owner or operator shall include in the initial compliance report the 
weighted average of the VOC content of coatings used during the period 
of one calender month for each affected facility. Values must be 
separated if the control device was used intermittently. Where 
compliance is achieved using an emission control device that destroys 
VOCs, each owner or operator shall include in the initial compliance 
report the overall VOC destruction rate used to attain compliance and 
the combustion temperature of the thermal incinerator or the gas 
temperature both upstream and downstream of the incinerator catalyst 
bed. Subpart TT also requires reports of incinerator temperature drop. 
Affected facilities shall report quarterly excess emissions or 
semiannual reports if no emissions occur. Any owner or operator subject 
to the provisions of NSPS subpart TT, shall maintain at the source, for 
a period of at least two years, records of all data and calculations.
    Burden Statement: There are 143 existing sources, and it is 
estimated that an additional 6 sources per year will become subject to 
the requirements. The initial performance test requires approximately 
60 person-hours. It is assumed that 20% of the initial performance 
tests will be repeated due to failure. The initial notifications each 
require 2 hours. Semiannual emissions reporting will require about 5 
hours and temperature variance reports require 4 person-hours. 
Recordkeeping requirements of monthly performance tests require one 
hour. To record the operating parameters requires 0.25 hours and it is 
assumed the plant operates 250 days a year.
(11) NSPS Subpart WW, Beverage Can Surface Coating; EPA ICR Number 
0663, and OMB Control Number 2060-0001, Expires September 30, 1999
    The New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for Beverage Can 
Surface Coating were proposed on November 26, 1980 and promulgated on 
August 25, 1983. These standards apply to following affected facilities 
in the beverage can surface coating lines: each exterior base coat 
operation, each overvarnish coating operation, and each inside spray 
coating operation. These standards apply to coating facilities 
commencing construction, modification or reconstruction after the 
November 26, 1980.
    Approximately 24 sources are currently subject to the standard. It 
is estimated that an additional 2 sources per year will become subject 
to the standard in the next three years. Volatile organic compounds 
(VOCs) are the pollutants regulated under NSPS subpart WW.
    Owners or operators of the affected facilities described must make 
the following one-time only reports: Notification of the date of 
construction or reconstruction; notification of the anticipated and 
actual dates of a start up; notification of any physical or operational 
change to an existing facility which may increase the regulated 
pollutant emission rate; notification of the date of the initial 
performance test; and results of the initial performance test. Owners 
or operators are also required to maintain records of the occurrence 
and duration of any startup, shut down, or malfunction in the operation 
of an affected facility, or any period during which the monitoring 
system is inoperative.
    Monitoring requirements specific to Beverage Can Surface Coating 
Operations include monthly performance tests to assure compliance with 
the performance standard for mass of VOCs per volume of coating solids. 
Additional monitoring is required only if a capture system and 
incineration are used. It is assumed 80% of sources use incineration. 
Owners or operators of the affected facilities using incineration are 
also required to install, calibrate, and maintain temperature 
measurement devices. If thermal incineration is used, the device shall 
be installed in the firebox. If catalytic incineration is used the 
devices shall be placed both upstream and downstream of the catalyst 
bed. The temperature must be continuously monitored and recorded.
    Records must be maintained if the VOC content of coatings is below 
the specified limits. If one or more coatings used the volume weighted 
average of the total mass of VOC per volume of coating solids must be 
recorded. When thermal or catalytic incineration is performed, the 
owner shall keep records of each three-hour period during which the 
incinerator temperature averaged more than 28 degrees Celsius below the 
temperature of the most recent performance test at which destruction 
efficiency was determined. The owners or operators shall identify, 
record and submit quarterly reports of each instance in which the 
volume-weighted average of the total mass of VOCs per volume of coating 
solids exceeded the standard. If there are no exceedances reports shall 
be submitted semiannually.
    Owners or operators are required to maintain a file of all 
measurements including the monitoring device, and performance testing 
measurements; all monitoring device calibration check adjustments and 
maintenance performed on these systems recorded in a permanent file, 
suitable for inspection and retained at the facility for a minimum 
period of two years.
    Burden Statement: The average annual burden to industry over the 
next three years from these recordkeeping and reporting requirements is 
estimated at 3,092 person-hours. Initial performance test requires 
approximately 60 person-hours. Assume 20% of the initial performance 
tests will be repeated due to failure. The initial notifications each 
require 2.0 hours. Semiannual emissions reports require 5.0 hours and 
temperature variance reports 4.0 person-hours. Recordkeeping 
requirements of monthly performance tests require one hour. To record 
the operating parameters requires 0.25 hours and it is assumed the 
plant operates 365 days a year.

(12) NSPS Subpart DDD, VOC Emissions From the Polymer Manufacturing 
Industry, EPA ICR Number 1150, and OMB Control Number 2060-0145, 
Expires November 30, 1999
    The standards apply to affected facilities involved in the 
manufacture of polypropylene, polystyrene, or poly (ethylene 
terephthalate) commencing construction, modification or reconstruction 
after January 10, 1989, depending on the process section.
    Approximately 75 sources are currently subject to the standard and 
it is estimated that an additional 10 sources per year will become 
subject to the standard in the next three years. Volatile organic 
compounds (VOCs) are the pollutants regulated under this Subpart.
    Owners or operators of the affected facilities must make the 
following one-time only reports: Notification of the date of 
construction or reconstruction; notification of the anticipated actual 
dates of startup; notification of any physical or operational change to 
an existing facility which may increase the regulated pollutant 
emission rate; notification of demonstration of the continuous 
monitoring system (CMS); notification of the date of the initial 
performance test; and results of the initial performance test. Owners 
and operators are also required to maintain records of the occurrence 
and duration of any startup, shutdown, or malfunction in the operation 
of the affected facility, or any period during which the monitoring 
system is inoperative.
    In addition, owners/operators of the affected facilities are 
required to record periods of operation during which the performance 
standards are exceeded, results of flare pilot flame monitoring, all 
periods of operation of a boiler or process heater, and to continuously 
record the indication of any emission stream diverted away from the 
control device. In general, these records are required to be maintained 
for at least two years following the dates of such measurements or 
records.
    Approximately one facility per year will conduct the initial 
performance test and it takes approximately 360 hours to conduct. It is 
estimated that approximately 20 percent of performance tests are 
repeated due to failure. Report writing including notifications of 
construction/modification, anticipated startup, and initial performance 
test takes approximately two hours per occurrence once a year for up to 
10 respondents. Notification of actual startup takes approximately one 
hour once per year for up to 10 respondents. (Assumes a growth rate of 
10 facilities per year.) Semi-annual reports take approximately 3 hours 
twice per year for 75 respondents. Recordkeeping for operating 
parameters and exceedances take approximately 8 hours once per year and 
records of startup, shutdown or malfunction take 1.5 hours per 
occurrence per year for 75 respondents.
(13) NSPS Subpart GGG, Petroleum Refineries; EPA ICR Number 0983, and 
OMB Control Number 2060-0067, Expires August 31, 1999
    Entities potentially affected by this action are process units at 
petroleum refineries that commenced construction, modification, or 
reconstruction after January 4, 1983. Affected process units include 
each group of equipment assembled to produce intermediate or final 
products from petroleum, unfinished petroleum derivatives, or other 
intermediates. Owners or operators of the affected facilities described 
must make the following one-time-only reports: notifications of the 
anticipated and actual date of startup, notification of the date of 
construction or reconstruction, notification of any physical or 
operational change to an existing facility which may increase the 
emission rate of any regulated air pollutant, notification of the date 
of the initial performance test, and results of the performance tests. 
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. These notifications, reports and 
records are required in general, of all sources subject to NSPS.
    NSPS GGG directs sources to comply with the requirements of NSPS 
VV. Semiannual reports are required to measure compliance with the 
standards of NSPS subpart VV. Monthly monitoring of equipment in VOC 
service shall take place as specified in subpart, VV section 60.485(b). 
If no leaks are detected for two successive months, monitoring may be 
performed once per quarter. If a leak is detected, the equipment shall 
be monitored monthly until a leak is not detected for two successive 
months. Also, leak location shall be recorded in a log, and this 
information shall be kept available for at least two years. Leaks shall 
be repaired within 15 days and the date of successful repair shall be 
recorded in the log.
    Semiannual reports shall be submitted itemizing information for 
each month. All reports are to be sent to the delegated State or local 
authority. In the event that there is no such delegated authority, the 
reports are sent directly to the EPA Regional office. Notifications are 
used to inform the agency or delegated authority when a source becomes 
subject to the standard. The reviewing authority may then inspect the 
source to check if the standard is being met. Performance test results 
are needed as these are the Agency's record of a sources initial 
capacity to meet the standard. The semiannual reports are used for 
problem identification, as a check on source operations and 
maintenance, and for compliance determinations.
    In the Administrator's judgement, VOC emissions from process units 
cause or contribute to air pollution that may reasonably be anticipated 
to endanger public health or welfare. Therefore, New Source Performance 
Standards have been promulgated for this source category as required 
under section 111 of the Clean Air Act.
    The control of emissions of VOC from process units requires not 
only the installation of properly designed equipment, but also the 
proper operation and maintenance of that equipment so that emissions 
can be minimized. VOC emissions from process units are the result of 
equipment leaks. These standards rely on the maintenance of the 
equipment and adequate monitoring. To ensure compliance with these 
standards, adequate recordkeeping and reporting is necessary. In the 
absence of such information collection requirements, enforcement 
personnel would be unable to determine whether the standards are being 
met on a continuous basis, as required by the Clean Air Act and in 
accordance with any applicable permit.
    Burden Statement: The Agency computed the burden for each of the 
recordkeeping and reporting requirements applicable to the industry. 
Where appropriate, the Agency identified specific tasks and made 
assumptions, while being consistent with the concept of burden under 
the Paper Work Reduction Act.
    The estimate was based on the assumption that there would be three 
new affected facilities each year and that there was an average of 34 
sources in existence at the start of the three years covered by the 
ICR. For the new sources, it was estimated that it would take: one hour 
to read the instructions, 8 person-hours to gather the information to 
write the initial reports and 28 person-hours to conduct the initial 
performance tests (assuming that 60% of the tests must be repeated). 
For all sources, it was estimated that it would take approximately 19 
person-hours to fill out the excess emission reports, and

[[Page 30020]]

approximately 129 person-hours to enter information for records of 
operating parameters (assuming a source operates 365 days per year and 
that it takes 0.3 hours per occurrence).
(14) NSPS Subpart HHH, Synthetic Fiber Production; EPA ICR Number 1156, 
and OMB Control Number 2060-0059, Expires October 31, 1999
    The New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for subpart, HHH-
Synthetic Fiber Production Facilities were proposed on November 23, 
1982 and promulgated on April 5,1984. These standards apply to each 
solvent spun synthetic fiber process that produces more than 500 
megagrams of fiber per year that commenced construction after November 
23, 1982. The provisions of this subpart do not apply to facilities 
that use the reaction spinning process to produce spandex fiber or the 
viscose process to produce rayon fiber, nor to facilities that commence 
modification but not reconstruction after November 23, 1982. Twenty 
eight sources are currently subject to the standard. It is estimated 
that an additional one source per year will become subject to the 
standard in the next three years. VOCs are the pollutants regulated 
under NSPS subpart HHH.
    Owners or operators of the affected facilities must make the 
following one-time only reports: Notification of the date of 
construction or reconstruction; notification of the anticipated and 
actual date of a start up; notification of any physical or operational 
change to an existing facility which may increase the regulated 
pollutant emission rate; notification of the demonstration of the 
continuous monitoring system (CMS); notification of the date of the 
initial performance test; and results of the initial performance test. 
Owners or operators are also required to maintain records of the 
occurrence and duration of any startup, shut down, or malfunction in 
the operation of an affected facility, or any period during which the 
monitoring system is inoperative.
    Any owner or operator subject to the provisions of this part shall 
maintain a file for a minimum of two years following the date of such 
measurements, maintenance reports and records.
    Burden Statement: The average annual burden to industry over the 
next three years from these recordkeeping and reporting requirements is 
estimated at 2448.65 person-hours. The initial performance test done by 
new sources requires approximately 72 person-hours per test. It is 
assumed that 20% of the initial performance test will be repeated due 
to failure. Written notifications of construction, modification, 
notification of initial performance test and demonstration of CMS 
require 2.0 person-hours each test. Records of anticipated and actual 
startups, shutdowns and malfunctions require 2.0 hours each test to 
enter information. VOC emission reports require 8.0 person-hours. It is 
assumed that each affected facility must submit one quarterly report 
every other year, in addition to semiannual reports.
(15) NSPS Subparts III and NNN, SOCMI Air Oxidation and Distillation; 
EPA ICR Number 0998, and OMB Control Number 2060-0197, Expires August 
31, 1999
    This ICR contains recordkeeping and reporting requirements that are 
mandatory for compliance with 40 CFR 60.610, Subpart III, Standards of 
Performance for VOC Emissions from SOCMI Air Oxidation Unit Processes 
and 40 CFR 60.660, Subpart NNN, Standards of Performance for VOC from 
SOCMI Distillation Operations. This information is used by the Agency 
to identify sources subject to the standards and to insure that the 
best demonstrated technology is being properly applied. The standards 
require periodic recordkeeping to document process information relating 
to the sources' ability to meet the requirements of the standard and to 
note the operation conditions under which compliance was achieved.
    In the Administrator's judgment, VOC emissions from SOCMI air 
oxidation unit processes and distillation operations cause or 
contribute to air pollution that may reasonably be anticipated to 
endanger public health or welfare. Therefore, NSPS were promulgated for 
this source category.
    Owners or operators of the affected facilities described must make 
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; notification of the date of the initial 
performance test; and the results of the initial performance 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. These notifications, reports and 
records are required, in general, of all sources subject to NSPS.
    In addition, owners/operators of affected facilities are required 
to record periods of operation during which the performance boundaries 
are exceeded, results of flare pilot flame monitoring, all periods of 
operation of a boiler or process heater, and to continuously record the 
indication of vent stream flow to the control device. Records of 
startups, shutdowns, and malfunctions should be noted as they occur. 
Any owner or operator subject to the provisions of this part shall 
maintain a file of all of these records, and retain the file for at 
least two years following the date of such measurements and records.
    The reporting requirements for this industry currently include the 
initial notifications listed, the initial performance test results, and 
semiannual reports. Semiannual reports shall include the following: All 
exceedances of parameter boundaries; all periods during which the vent 
stream is diverted from the control device or has no flow rate; all 
periods when the boiler or process heater was not operated; all periods 
in which the pilot flame of the flare was absent; and any recalculation 
of the TRE index value. All reports are sent to the delegated State or 
local authority. In the event that there is no such delegated 
authority, the reports are sent directly to the EPA Regional Office. 
Notifications are used to inform the Agency or delegated authority when 
a source becomes subject to the standard. The reviewing authority may 
then inspect the source to check if the pollution control devices are 
properly installed and operated and the standard is being met. 
Performance test reports are needed as these are the Agency's records 
of a source's initial capability to comply with the emission standard, 
and note the operating conditions under which compliance was achieved. 
The semiannual reports are used for problem identification, as a check 
on source operation and maintenance, and for compliance determinations.
    Burden Statement: The Agency computed the burden for each of the 
recordkeeping and reporting requirements applicable to the industry for 
the currently approved ICR. Where appropriate, the Agency identified 
specific tasks and made assumptions, while being consistent with the 
concept of burden under the Paperwork Reduction Act.
    The burden estimates for NSPS subpart III: The estimate was based 
on the assumption that there would be 10 new affected facilities each 
year and that there would be an annual average of 75 affected 
facilities over each of the three years covered by the ICR. For new

[[Page 30021]]

sources, it was estimated that it would take: 1 person hour to read the 
instructions, 60 person hours to conduct the initial performance tests 
(assuming that 20% of the tests must be repeated), and 7 person hours 
to gather the information and write the initial reports. For all 
sources, it was estimated that it would take: 6 person hours to fill 
out semiannual reports and 84 person hours to enter information for 
records of operating parameters.
    The burden estimates for NSPS subpart NNN: The estimate was based 
on the assumption that there would be 236 new affected facilities each 
year and that there would be an annual average of 1770 affected 
facilities over each of the three years covered by the ICR. For new 
sources, it was estimated that it would take: 1 person hour to read the 
instructions, 72 person hours to conduct the initial performance tests 
(assuming that 20% of the tests must be repeated), and approximately 7 
person hours to gather the information and write the initial reports. 
For all sources, it was estimated that it would take: 6 person hours 
each to fill out semiannual reports and 84 person hours each to enter 
information for records of operating parameters.
(16) NSPS Subpart JJJ, Petroleum Dry Cleaners; EPA ICR Number 0997, and 
OMB Control Number 2060-0079, Expires November 30, 1999
    The information collected is needed to determine which sources are 
subject to the regulation and whether these sources are in compliance 
with the standards. EPA is required to under section 111 of the Clean 
Air Act, as amended, to establish standard of performance for new 
stationary sources. Volatile organic compounds (VOC) are the pollutants 
regulated under this Subpart. The standards require that any affected 
petroleum dry cleaning dryer be a solvent recovery dryer.
    Owners or operators of the affected facilities described must make 
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 the notification of the date of the 
initial performance 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 the affected facility. 
These notifications, reports and records are required, in general, of 
all sources subject to NSPS. Notifications are used to inform the 
Agency or delegated authority when a source becomes subject to the 
standard. Performance test records are needed as these are the Agency's 
record of a source's initial capability to comply with the emission 
standards.
    Recordkeeping requirements specific to petroleum dry cleaners 
include only the performance test required under section 60.624. There 
are no reporting requirements specific to subpart JJJ. Under the 
General Provisions for NSPS under section 60.7, the 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. These records are required of all sources subject to NSPS.
    Burden Statement: The estimate was based on the assumption that 
there are approximately 270 sources currently subject to the standard, 
and it is estimated that an additional 18 sources per year will become 
subject to the standard in the next three years. For new sources it is 
estimated that it takes a respondent 82.4 person hours for 
recordkeeping and reporting. This is based upon 69 person-hours for 
reporting, which includes 61 hours for the initial performance test, 
reading instructions, and planning activities; two hours each for the 
notification reports (construction/modification, anticipated startup, 
actual startup, and initial performance test); and 1 person-hour for 
recording the performance test recordkeeping. It also assumes that 20% 
of the performance tests will required repeat tests. The frequency of 
these reports is once. The annual burden to industry is 1,483 person 
hours per year. 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.
(17) NSPS Subpart RRR, SOCMI Reactor Processes; EPA ICR Number 1178, 
and OMB Control Number 2060-0269, Expires September 30, 1999
    Entities potentially affected by this action are those which are 
subject to the Standards of Performance of Volatile Organic Compound 
(VOC) emissions from the Synthetic Organic Chemical Manufacturing 
Industry (SOCMI) Reactor Processes, subpart RRR with the exceptions 
listed in 40 CFR 60.760 (c). This ICR contains recordkeeping and 
reporting requirements that are mandatory for compliance with 40 CFR 
60.700, subpart RRR, Standards of Performance for VOC Emissions from 
SOCMI Reactor Processes. This information is used by the Agency to 
identify sources subject to the standards and to insure that the best 
demonstrated technology is being properly applied. The standards 
require periodic recordkeeping to document process information relating 
to the sources' ability to meet the requirements of the standard and to 
note the operation conditions under which compliance was achieved.
    In the Administrator's judgment, VOC emissions from SOCMI reactor 
processes cause or contribute to air pollution that may reasonably be 
anticipated to endanger public health or welfare. Therefore, NSPS were 
promulgated for this source category.
    Owners or operators of the affected facilities described must make 
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; notification of the date of the initial 
performance test; and the results of the initial performance 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. These notifications, reports and 
records are required, in general, of all sources subject to NSPS. In 
addition, owners/operators of affected facilities are required to 
record periods of operation during which the performance boundaries are 
exceeded, results of flare pilot flame monitoring, all periods of 
operation of a boiler or process heater, and to continuously record the 
indication of vent stream flow to the control device. Records of 
startups, shutdowns, and malfunctions should be noted as they occur. 
Any owner or operator subject to the provisions of this part shall 
maintain a file of all of these records, and retain the file for at 
least two years following the date of such measurements and records.
    The reporting requirements for this industry currently include the 
initial notifications listed, the initial performance test results, and 
semiannual reports. Semiannual reports shall include the following: All 
exceedances of parameter boundaries; all periods during which the vent 
stream is diverted from the control device or has no flowrate; all 
periods when the boiler or process heater was not operated; all periods 
in which the pilot flame of the flare was absent; and

[[Page 30022]]

any recalculation of the TRE index value.
    All reports are sent to the delegated State or local authority. In 
the event that there is no such delegated authority, the reports are 
sent directly to the EPA Regional Office. Notifications are used to 
inform the Agency or delegated authority when a source becomes subject 
to the standard. The reviewing authority may then inspect the source to 
check if the pollution control devices are properly installed and 
operated and the standard is being met. Performance test reports are 
needed as these are the Agency's records of a source's initial 
capability to comply with the emission standard, and note the operating 
conditions under which compliance was achieved. The semiannual reports 
are used for problem identification, as a check on source operation and 
maintenance, and for compliance determinations.
    Burden Statement: The Agency computed the burden for each of the 
recordkeeping and reporting requirements applicable to the industry for 
the currently approved ICR. Where appropriate, the Agency identified 
specific tasks and made assumptions, while being consistent with the 
concept of burden under the Paperwork Reduction Act.
    The existing ICR (1996) burden estimates for NSPS Subpart RRR was 
based on the assumption that there would be 27 new affected facilities 
each year and that there would be an annual average of 203 affected 
facilities over each of the three years covered by the ICR. For new 
sources, it was estimated that it would take each affected facility: 1 
hour to read the instructions, 426 person-hours to conduct the initial 
performance tests (assuming that 20% of the tests must be repeated), 
and 16 person-hours to gather the information and write the initial 
reports. For all sources, it was estimated that it would take each: 4-
person hours to fill out semiannual reports and approximately 18 
person-hours to enter information for records of operating parameters.
(18) NESHAP Subpart FF, Benzene Waste; EPA ICR Number 1541, and OMB 
Control Number 2060-0183, Expires September 30, 1999
    The provisions of this subpart apply to owners and operators of 
chemical manufacturing plants, coke by-product recovery plants, and 
petroleum refineries. In addition, this subpart applies to owners and 
operators of hazardous waste treatment, storage, and disposal 
facilities that treat, store, or dispose of hazardous waste generated 
from the above facilities.
    The calculation of total annual benzene (TAB) quantity in all 
aqueous waste streams determines whether a facility is subject to 
control requirements of the rule. A facility at or above the TAB 
threshold in the rule of 10 megagram per year (Mg/yr) is required to 
control each benzene waste stream at the facility or demonstrate that 
the waste stream meets a criterion in the rule for exemption from 
control. A facility with a TAB below 10 Mg/yr is only subject to the 
rule's reporting and recordkeeping provisions, unless the facility 
receives a waste from offsite that must be controlled to meet subpart 
FF in which case that waste must be controlled. A facility with a TAB 
less than 1 Mg/yr is only subject to maintain documentation of the 
quantity of benzene in the waste.
    Owners or operators of the affected facilities described above must 
make the following one-time-only notices or reports: Notifications of 
anticipated and actual startup; notification of emission test, report 
following an emission test; notification of any physical/operational 
changes (i.e., modification) that could increase emissions, a 
monitoring system performance test; and a report following a monitoring 
system performance test. These notifications and reports are general 
provisions and required of all sources subject to any NESHAP.
    Reporting requirements specific to benzene waste operations include 
submission, within 90 days after January 7,1993 or by the initial 
startup for a new source, of an initial report that summarizes the 
regulatory status of each waste stream containing benzene. Each owner 
or operator who has no benzene onsite in wastes, products, byproducts, 
or intermediary shall submit an initial report that is a statement to 
this effect.
    If the TAB quantity from facility waste is less tan 1 Mg/yr, then 
the owner and operator shall submit a report that updates its 
regulatory status whenever there is a change in the process that may 
cause the TAB to increase. If the TAB is less than 10 Mg/yr but equal 
to or greater than 1 Mg/yr, then the owner or operator shall submit to 
a report that updates the regulatory status of each waste stream 
containing benzene. The report shall be submitted annually and whenever 
there is a change in the process generating the waste stream that could 
cause the total annual benzene quantity from facility waste to increase 
to 10 Mg/yr or more. If the information in the annual report is not 
changed in the following year, the owner or operator may submit a 
statement to that effect.
    If the total annual benzene quantity from facility waste is equal 
to or greater than 10 Mg/yr, then the owner or operator shall submit to 
the following reports:

    (1) Within 90 days after January 7, 1993, or by the date of 
initial startup for a new source with an initial startup after the 
effective date, a certification that the equipment necessary to 
comply with these standards has been installed and that the required 
initial inspections or tests have been carried out in accordance 
with this subpart.
    (2) Beginning on the date that the equipment necessary to comply 
with these standards has been certified, the owner or operator shall 
submit annually a report that updates the regulatory status of each 
stream.
    (3) Beginning three months after the date that the equipment 
necessary to comply with these standards has been certified, the 
owner or operator shall submit quarterly a certification that all of 
the required inspections have been carried out in accordance with 
the requirements of this subpart.
    (4) Beginning three months after the date that the equipment 
necessary to comply with these standards has been certified, the 
owner or operator shall submit a report quarterly that summarizes 
all the monitoring of operations.
    (5) Beginning one year after the date that the equipment 
necessary to comply with these standards has been certified, the 
owner or operator shall submit annually a report that summarizes all 
inspections during which detectable emissions are measured or a 
problem (such as a broken seal, gap or other problem) that could 
result in benzene emissions is identified, including information 
about the repairs or corrective action taken.

    Monitoring and record keeping requirements specific to benzene 
waste operations includes maintaining records that identify each waste 
stream at the facility subject to this subpart, and indicate whether 
the waste stream is controlled for benzene emissions in accordance with 
this subpart. In addition the owner or operator shall maintain the 
following records:

    (1) For each waste stream not controlled for benzene emissions 
in accordance with this subpart, the records shall include all test 
results, measurements, calculations, and other documentation used to 
determine the following information for the waste stream: Waste 
stream identification, water content, whether or not the waste 
stream is a process wastewater stream, annual waste quantity, range 
of benzene concentrations, annual average flow-weighted benzene 
concentration, and annual benzene quantity.
    (2) For each process wastewater stream not controlled for 
benzene emissions, the records shall include all measurements, 
calculations, and other documentation used to determine that the 
continuous flow of process wastewater is less than 0.02 liters per 
minute or the annual waste quantity of process wastewater is less 
than 10 Mg/yr.
    (3) For each facility where process wastewater streams are 
controlled for

[[Page 30023]]

benzene emissions, the records shall include for each treated 
process wastewater stream all measurements, calculations, and other 
documentation used to determine the annual benzene quantity in the 
process wastewater stream exiting the treatment process.
    (4) For each facility where wastewater streams are controlled 
for benzene emissions, the records shall include all measurements, 
calculations, and other documentation used to determine the annual 
benzene quantity in the wastewater streams exiting wastewater 
treatment systems at the facility.
    (5) Owners or operators transferring waste off-site to another 
facility for treatment shall maintain documentation for each offsite 
waste shipment that includes the following information: date waste 
is shipped offsite, quantity of waste shipped offsite, name and 
address of the facility receiving the waste, and a copy of the 
notice sent with the waste shipment.
    (6) An owner or operator of control equipment, shall maintain 
engineering design documentation for all control equipment installed 
on the waste management unit. The documentation shall be retained 
for the life of the control equipment.

    Burden Statement: Most of the industry costs associated with the 
information collection activity in the standards are labor. The current 
average annual burden to industry from these record keeping and 
reporting requirements is estimated at 17,028 person-hours.
    Based upon available information, it has been estimated that 395 
facilities are subject to the standards and 140 of those are estimated 
to have more than 10 Mg/yr of benzene in the waste. In addition, the 
EPA estimates that these 140 facilities have a total of 2,819 waste 
streams per facility for which initial benzene concentration 
determination could be made. A total of 57 facilities are estimated to 
have more than 50 Mg/yr of benzene in their wastes and are expected to 
apply controls without applying for exceptions.
(19) NESHAP Subpart M, Asbestos; EPA ICR Number 0111, and OMB Control 
Number 2060-0101, Expires September 30, 1999
    Owners or operators of the affected milling, manufacturing, 
fabricating, waste disposal, and waste conversion facilities described 
must make 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. 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. 
Therefore, the recordkeeping requirements for the facilities mentioned 
above consist of the occurrence and duration of any startup and 
malfunction as described. They include the initial performance test 
results including information necessary to determine the conditions of 
the performance test, the performance test measurements and results, 
including monitoring each potential source of asbestos emissions for 
visible emissions to the outside air and inspecting air cleaning 
devices to ensure proper operation. Records of startups, shutdowns, and 
malfunctions should be noted as they occur. Any owner or operator 
subject to the provisions of this subpart shall maintain a file of 
these measurements for at least two years following the date of such 
measurements, maintenance reports, and records. The reporting 
requirements for this industry currently include the initial 
notifications listed, the initial performance test results, and 
quarterly reports of instances when visible emissions are observed at 
any time during the quarter.
    Owners or operators of demolitions and renovations must notify EPA 
in advance of the initiation of any asbestos removal work. The notice 
provides information on the dates of operation, the nature of the 
removal operation, the quantity of asbestos, and controls to be used. 
The reviewing authority may then inspect the source to ensure 
compliance with the standard. Demolitions and renovations tend to be 
short projects, and it is difficult at best to determine compliance 
with the standard once the project has been completed. Therefore, it is 
important that the delegated authority be renotified as necessary when 
information in the original notification changes. Additionally, without 
renotification, the Agency or delegated authority may needlessly 
inspect a demolition or renovation site where the project has been 
delayed. The demolition and renovation standard requires that a 
representative (such as a foreman or management-level person) trained 
in the provisions of the standard be present at the facility. Evidence 
that the required training has been completed is required in order to 
ensure compliance with the provisions of the standard. The regulation 
requires asbestos removal contractors that claim exemption from the 
wetting provisions because of freezing temperatures to take temperature 
readings throughout the day and record the information. The provisions 
require that all containers of asbestos waste be labeled including the 
name of the waste generator and the location of where the waste was 
generated. Owners or operators of demolitions and renovations are 
required to prepare and maintain, for at least two years, records of 
waste shipment as to its destination, the quantity of waste, the date 
of shipment, and to furnish a copy of the record to disposal site 
owners or operators. The regulation also requires that generators of 
asbestos waste attempt to reconcile instances in which a signed copy of 
the waste shipment record is not received from the disposal site and 
that the generator notify EPA if delivery to the disposal site cannot 
be confirmed.
    Owners or operators of waste disposal sites are required to 
document all asbestos waste shipments that are received and send a copy 
of each record back to the generator. A record of the location and 
quantity of asbestos in the landfill is required as well as noting the 
presence and location of asbestos in the landfill property deed. 
Disposal site owners or operators have to report to EPA any 
discrepancies between the amount of waste designated on the waste 
shipment record and the amount actually received, as well as instances 
of improperly contained waste. Disposal sites are required to maintain 
records for at least two years. An owner or operator of an operation in 
which asbestos-containing materials are spray-applied must notify EPA 
in advance of the spraying operation. The notice provides information 
on the name and address of the owner or operator, location of the 
spraying operation, and procedure to be followed.
    In the Administrator's judgement, asbestos emissions from the 
demolition or renovation of asbestos-containing structures; the 
disposal of asbestos waste; asbestos milling, manufacturing, and 
fabricating; the use of asbestos on roadways; the use of asbestos 
insulation and spray materials; and the conversion of asbestos-
containing waste material into nonasbestos material cause or contribute 
to air pollution that may reasonably be anticipated to endanger public 
health or welfare. Therefore, a NESHAP was promulgated under section 
112 of the Clean Air Act for this source category. The control of 
emissions of asbestos from the regulated sources requires not only the 
installation of properly designed equipment, but also the operation and 
maintenance of that equipment and following specified work practices. 
These standards rely on the capture and reduction of asbestos emissions 
by air cleaning equipment and specified work

[[Page 30024]]

practices. Effective enforcement of the standard is particularly 
necessary in light of the hazardous nature of asbestos. In order to 
ensure compliance with the standards, adequate 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.
    Burden Statement: The Agency computed the burden for each of the 
recordkeeping and reporting requirements applicable to the industry. 
Where appropriate the Agency identified specific tasks and made 
assumptions, while being consistent with the concept of burden under 
the Paper Work Reduction Act.
    The estimate was based on the assumption that there was an average 
of 70,380 sources of demolitions or renovations per year (completed by 
approximately 6,900 contractors), and that 3,447 sources for milling, 
manufacturing, fabricating and waste disposal were subject to the 
standard. For demolitions and renovations, it was estimated that it 
would take 1 hour for each of the 6,900 respondents to read the 
instructions, 164,565 person-hours to write notifications (assuming 
that there are 12,420 renotifications at 0.25 person-hours per 
renotification) and excepted waste shipment record reports, 6.7 person-
hours per respondent to record information and mark vehicles, and 12 
person-hours per respondent to train supervisors. For milling, 
manufacturing, and fabricating, it was estimated that there was 430 
respondents, and that it would take 1 person-hour each to read the 
instructions, 106.3 hours per respondent to record the information and 
mark vehicles, 3 person-hours per respondent to write the reports and 
develop the record system. For waste disposal, it was estimated that 
there were 3,017 respondents, and that it would take each respondent 1 
hour to read the instructions, approximately 23 person-hours per 
respondent to create and gather the information, and 3.5 person-hours 
per respondent to write the reports.
