    Title: NESHAP for Inorganic Arsenic Emissions from Glass 
Manufacturing Plants (Renewal).
    Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air 
Pollutants (NESHAP) for inorganic arsenic emissions from glass 
manufacturing plants were proposed on July 20, 1983, and promulgated on 
August 4, 1986, and 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.
    Owners or operators must submit initial notifications, performance 
tests, and periodic reports. Respondents 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 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, 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 49 
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: Owners and operators of glass 
manufacturing plants that emit inorganic arsenic.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 16.

[[Page 48125]]

    Frequency of Response: Initially, on occasion, annually, and 
semiannually.
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 3,098 hours.
    Estimated Total Capital and Operations & Maintenance (O&M) Annual 
Costs: $306,106, which includes $0 annualized capital/startup costs, 
$56,000 annual O&M costs, and $250,106 Respondent Labor Costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is a decrease of 1,426 hours in the 
total estimated burden currently identified in the OMB Inventory of 
Approved ICR Burdens. This decrease is due to a decrease in the number 
of sources. Our data indicates that there are approximately sixteen 
sources to the rule, as compared to the active ICR that shows twenty-
eight sources. There are no new facilities expected to be constructed 
in the next three years. The burden in the renewed ICR shows a higher 
cost for each respondent than in the active ICR, this is due to the 
fact that we are presently accounting for management and clerical 
person hours per year in the renewal ICR, which was omitted in the 
active ICR, and a revised salary table.
