    Title: NESHAP for Beryllium Rocket Motor Firing (40 CFR part 61, 
subpart D) (Renewal).
    Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air 
Pollutants (NESHAP, 40 CFR part 61, subpart D) was promulgated on April 
6, 1973, and amended on November 7, 1985, for this source category. 
These standards establish limits for beryllium. The rule requires 
subject test sites to test ambient air for beryllium during and after 
firing a rocket motor. Samples are analyzed within 30 days and results 
are reported to EPA by registered letter by the business day following 
the determination and calculation. The rule also requires continuous 
stack sampling of beryllium combustion products during and after firing 
a rocket motor, and analysis and reporting within 30 days. In addition, 
other reporting requirements include notification of anticipated firing 
date; air quality emissions and ambient air quality and emission test 
reports. Recordkeeping requirements include air sampling test results, 
record of emission test results and making these records available to 
the Agency. Records are kept for a period of two years for the air 
sampling test results.
    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 8 
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 previous 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: These standards apply to sources 
that are rocket motor test sites that use beryllium propellant.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 1.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion.
    Estimated Total Annual Burden: 8 hours.
    Estimated Total Annual Costs: $0, which includes $0 annualized 
capital/startup costs, $0 annual O&M costs, and $0 annual labor costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: Industry burden hours remain unchanged.

    Dated: November 13, 2004.
