    Title: NESHAP for Mineral Wool Production (Renewal).
    ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 1799.08, OMB Control Number 2060-0362.
    ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on June 30, 2013. Under 
OMB regulations, the Agency may continue to either conduct or sponsor 
the collection of information while this submission is pending at OMB.
    Abstract: The affected entities are subject to the General 
Provisions of the NESHAP at 40 CFR part 63, subpart A, and any changes, 
or additions to the Provisions specified at 40 CFR part 63, subpart 
DDD.
    Owners or operators of the affected facilities must submit an 
initial notification report, performance tests, and periodic reports 
and results. Owners or operators 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. Reports are required semiannually 
at a minimum.
    Respondents/Affected Entities: Owners or operator of mineral wool 
production facilities.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 6.
    Frequency of Response: Initially and semiannually.
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 1,581. ``Burden'' is defined at 
5 CFR 1320.3 (b).
    Estimated Total Annual Cost: $157,566, which includes $153,066 in 
labor costs, no capital/startup costs, and $4,500 in operation and 
maintenance (O&M) costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is no change in the respondent 
labor hours in this ICR compared to the previous ICR. This is due to 
two considerations: (1) The reporting requirements have not changed 
over the past three years and are not anticipated to change over the 
next three years; and (2) the growth rate for the industry is very low, 
negative or non-existent, so there is no significant change in the 
overall labor hours. However, there is an adjustment increase in the 
respondent labor costs due to the use of updated labor rates.
    There is a decrease in Agency labor hours and costs due to a 
mathematical correction. The previous ICR incorrectly calculated the 
number of hours associated with review of excess emissions reports. 
This ICR corrects the error, which results in a decrease of 55 hours 
and an associated decrease in labor costs.
