    Title: NSPS for Wool Fiberglass Insulation Manufacturing Plants (40 
CFR Part 60, Subpart PPP) and NESHAP for Wool Fiberglass Manufacturing 
Plants (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart NNN) (OMB Control Number 2060-0114, EPA 
ICR Number 1160.07). This is a request to renew an existing approved 
collection that is scheduled to expire on July 31, 2003. Under OMB 
regulations, the Agency may continue to conduct or sponsor the 
collection of information while this submission is pending at OMB.
    Abstract: The Administrator has judged that Particulate Matter (PM) 
and Hazardous Air Pollutants (HAP) emissions from wool fiberglass 
manufacturing plants cause or contribute to air pollution that may 
reasonably be anticipated to endanger public health or welfare. Owners/
operators of wool fiberglass manufacturing plants subject to New Source 
Performance Standards (NSPS) subpart PPP and/or National Emissions 
Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) subpart NNN must 
provide notifications to EPA of construction, modification, startups, 
shut downs, date and results of initial performance tests and provide 
semiannual reports of excess emissions. Owners/operators of wool 
fiberglass manufacturing facilities subject to NSPS subpart PPP and/or 
NESHAP subpart NNN must also record continuous measurements of control 
device operating parameters. For NSPS subpart PPP these operating 
parameters include gas pressure drop and liquid flow rate if using a 
wet scrubber and voltage and inlet water flow rates if using an 
electrostatic precipitator (ESP). For NESHAP subpart NNN operating 
parameter measurements, include bag leak detection system alarms, 
furnace operating temperature, glass pull rate, and scrubber and ESP 
parameter controls.
    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, and are 
identified on the form and/or instrument, if applicable.
    Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping 
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 101 
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: Wool Fiberglass Manufacturing 
Plants.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 61.
    Frequency of Response: Initial and semiannual.
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 18,216.
    Estimated Total Capital and Operations & Maintenance (O & M) Annual 
Costs: $488,500 which includes $0 annualized capital/startup costs and 
$488,500 annual O&M costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is a decrease of 882 hours in the 
total estimated burden currently identified in the OMB Inventory of 
Approved ICR Burdens. This decrease is due to all existing sources 
having already completed required performance testing given that the 
compliance date of June 14, 2002, has passed.

    Dated: July 17, 2003.

Acting Director, Collection Strategies Division.
