    Title: NESHAP for Magnetic Tape Manufacturing Operations (40 CFR 
Part 63, Subpart EE).
    ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 1678.06, OMB Control Number 2060-0326.
    ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on May 31, 2007. Under 
OMB regulations, the Agency may continue to conduct or sponsor the 
collection of information while this submission is pending at OMB. 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 title 40 of the CFR, after appearing in the Federal Register when 
approved, are listed in 40 CFR part 9, and displayed either by 
publication in the Federal Register, or by other appropriate means, 
such as on the related collection instrument or form, if applicable. 
The display of OMB control numbers in certain EPA regulations is 
consolidated in 40 CFR part 9.
    Abstract: Owners or operators of magnetic tape manufacturing 
operations must make the following one-time-only reports: notification 
of the date of construction or reconstruction; notification of the 
anticipated and actual dates of startup; notification of any physical, 
or operational change to an existing facility which may increase the 
regulated pollutant emission rate; notification of the date of the 
initial performance test; and the results of the initial performance 
test. Owners, or operators also are required to maintain records of the 
occurrence and duration of any startup, shutdown, or malfunction in the 
operation of an affected facility. Each owner, or operator of an 
affected magnetic tape coating operation shall install, calibrate, 
maintain, and operate a monitoring device that continuously measures 
control device efficiency. Recordkeeping requirements include records 
of the freeboard ratio, compliance monitoring system (CMS) maintenance 
and calibration, performance tests, material balance calculation, and 
hazardous air pollutant (HAP) usage.
    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

[[Page 17896]]

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 which have subsequently changed; 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: Initially, on occasion, semiannually, 
quarterly.
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 3,395.
    Estimated Total Annual Cost: $264,722, which includes $11,000 
annualized capital cost, $36,000 O&M costs, and $217,722 labor costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is no change in the labor hours, or 
cost in this ICR compared to the previous ICR. This is due to two 
considerations. First, the regulations have not changed during the past 
three years and are not anticipated to change in the next three years. 
Second, the growth rate for the industry is very low, negative, or non-
existent, so there is no significant change in the overall burden. 
Because there are no changes in the regulatory requirements and there 
is no significant industry growth, the labor hours and cost figures in 
the previous ICR are used in this ICR, and there is no change in burden 
to industry.
