    Title: NESHAP for Magnetic Tape Manufacturing Operations (40 CFR 
part 63, Subpart EE).
    Abstract: This NESHAP requires initial notification, 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, in general, 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 
five years following the date of such measurements, maintain 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 EPA Regional Office. This information 
is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 63, subpart EE 
as authorized in sections 112 and 114(a) of the Clean Air Act. The 
required information consists of emissions data and other information 
that have been determined not to be private.
    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 in 40 CFR are listed in 40 CFR part 9 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 200 
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

[[Page 68618]]

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: Owners or operators of magnetic tape 
manufacturing operations.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 6.
    Frequency of Response: Initial, quarterly, semiannually.
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 3,395 hours.
    Estimated Total Annual Cost: $265,000, includes $11,000 annualized 
capital/startup costs, $36,000 annual O&M costs, and $218,000 labor 
costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is a decrease of 3,647 hours in the 
total estimated burden currently identified in the OMB Inventory of 
Approved ICR Burdens. This decrease is due to a reduction in the number 
of sources affected by the standard.

    Dated: November 14, 2003.

Acting Director, Collection Strategies Division.
