    Title: NESHAP for Wet-formed Fiberglass Mat Production (Renewal).
    Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air 
Pollutants (NESHAP) for Wet-formed Fiberglass Mat Production were 
proposed on May 26, 2000 (65 FR 34251), and promulgated on April 11, 
2002 (67 FR 17823). These standards apply to new and existing component 
processes at industrial facilities that manufacture wet-formed 
fiberglass mat including preparation of glass fibers, formation of 
fibers into a fiberglass mat, saturation with urea-formaldehyde binder 
solution, curing and drying the binder-coated fiberglass mat, cooling 
the mat, and trimming, cutting, and packaging. This information is 
being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 63, subpart HHHH.
    The monitoring, recordkeeping, and reporting requirements outlined 
in these rules are similar to those required for other NESHAP 
regulations. Consistent with the NESHAP General Provisions (40 CFR part 
63, subpart A), respondents are required to submit initial 
notifications, conduct performance tests, and submit semiannual 
reports. They are also required to maintain records of applicability 
determinations; performance test results; exceedances; periods of 
startup, shutdown, or malfunction; monitoring records; and all other 
information needed to determine compliance with the applicable 
standard.
    An 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, maintenance 
reports, and records. Records and reports must be retained for a total 
of 5 years, two years on-site. The files may be maintained on 
microfilm, on a computer or floppy disks, on magnetic tape disks, or on 
microfiche. 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

[[Page 74314]]

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 61 
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: Manufacturers of wet-formed 
fiberglass mats.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 14.
    Frequency of Response: Initial, semiannual and on occasion.
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 1,966 hours.
    Estimated Total Annual Costs: $158,672, which includes $0 Capital 
Expense/ startup costs, $0 Operation and Maintenance costs, and 
$158,672 in Respondent Labor costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: The decrease in labor burden to industry 
from the most recently approved ICR from 2,983 hours to 1,966 hours is 
due to the assumptions that existing sources are in compliance with the 
initial rule requirements and that there will be no new lines 
constructed over the three-year period of this ICR.
    The total annualized capital and operations and maintenance costs 
decreased from $2,000 to none due to the lack of capital/startup costs 
associated with new sources purchasing continuous emission monitoring 
equipment.
    There was also an increase in labor rates for both industry and the 
Federal Government; however, it did not offset the reduction in labor 
burden described above.
