    Title: NESHAP for Glass Manufacturing Plants (Renewal).
    ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 1131.10, OMB Control Number 2060-0054.
    ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on December 31, 2011. 
Under OMB regulations, the Agency may continue to conduct or sponsor 
the collection of information while this submission is pending at OMB.
    Abstract: The New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for Glass 
Manufacturing Plants (40 CFR part 60, subpart CC) were promulgated on 
October 7, 1980 and amended on October 17, 2000. The provisions of this 
subpart apply to each glass manufacturing plant that either commenced 
construction or modification after June 15, 1979.
    Owners or operators of subpart CC facilities are required to comply 
with reporting and recordkeeping requirements, and maintain records of 
specific information needed by EPA to determine if compliance has been 
achieved. Sources are required to submit semiannual reports of excess 
emissions. These notifications, reports, and records are essential in 
determining compliance; and, in general, are required of all sources 
subject to NSPS.
    Notifications are to inform the Agency or delegated authority when 
a source becomes subject to the standard. The reviewing authority may 
then inspect the source to ensure that the pollution control devices 
are properly installed and operating and that the standards are being 
met. Performance test reports are required as these are the Agency's 
records of a sources' initial capability to comply with the emission 
standards and to serve as a record of the operating conditions under 
which compliance are to be achieved. The information generated by 
monitoring, recordkeeping, and reporting requirements described in this 
ICR are used by the Agency to

[[Page 80928]]

ensure that facilities that are affected by the standard continue to 
operate the control equipment and achieve continuous compliance with 
the regulation.
    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 60, subpart CC, 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 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 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 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: Glass manufacturing plants.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 41.
    Frequency of Response: Occasionally, semiannually and annually.
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 803.
    Estimated Total Annual Cost: $314,638 which includes $76,838 in 
labor costs, no capital/startup costs, and $237,800 in operation and 
maintenance (O&M) costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is no change in the labor hours in 
this ICR as compared to the previous ICR. This is due to two 
considerations: (1) The regulations have not changed over the past 
three years and are not anticipated to change over the next three 
years; and (2) the growth rate according to the industry sources is 
very low, negative, or non-existent, so there is no significant change 
in the overall burden. There are no new facilities expected to be 
constructed over the next three years of this ICR.
    However, there is an increase in the estimated burden cost as 
currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved Burdens. The 
increase is not due to any program changes. The change in burden is due 
to the use of the most updated labor rates.
