    Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air 
Pollutants

[[Page 53579]]

(NESHAP) for Inorganic Arsenic Emissions from Glass Manufacturing 
Plants (40 CFR part 61, subpart N) were proposed on July 20, 1983, and 
promulgated on August 4, 1986. The standards were amended on May 31, 
1990, to add an alternative test method. These standards apply to each 
glass melting furnace that uses commercial arsenic as a raw material. 
These standards do not apply to pot furnaces. Also, rebricking is not 
considered construction or modification for the purposes of 40 CFR 
61.05. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 
CFR part 61, subpart N. In general, all NESHAP standards require 
initial notifications, performance tests, and periodic reports. 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 
essential in determining compliance, and are required of all sources 
subject to NESHAP. 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, 
maintenance reports, and records. 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 United States 
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Regional Office.
    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 document required under 5 CFR 1320.8(d), soliciting 
comments on this collection of information was published on October 29, 
2001 (66 FR 54514). No comments were received.
    Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping 
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 141 
hours per response. 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: Glass manufacturing plants that use 
commercial arsenic as a raw material.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 28.
    Frequency of Response: Semi-annually.
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 4,524 hours.
    Estimated Total Annualized Capital, O&M Cost Burden: $98,000.
    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 addresses listed above. Please 
refer to EPA ICR No. 1081.07 and OMB Control No. 2060-0043 in any 
correspondence.
