    Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air 
Pollutants (NESHAP) for Asphalt Processing and Asphalt Roofing 
Manufacturing apply to both existing facilities and new facilities that 
manufacture asphalt roofing products or oxidized asphalt that are major 
sources of hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) or are collocated at major 
sources. New facilities include those that commenced construction or 
reconstruction after the date of the original proposal (November 21, 
2001). In general, all NESHAP standards require initial notifications, 
performance tests, and periodic reports by the owners/operators of the 
affected facilities. They 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 affected facilities subject to NESHAP. This information is being 
collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 63, subpart LLLLL.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Asphalt processing and asphalt 
roofing manufacturing facilities.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 63, 
subpart LLLLL).
    Estimated number of respondents: 8 (total).
    Frequency of response: Initially, occasionally and semiannually.
    Total estimated burden: 3,970 hours (per year). Burden is defined 
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $472,000 (per year), which includes $20,000 
in annualized capital/startup and/or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is an adjustment decrease in the 
total estimated burden as currently identified in the OMB Inventory of 
Approved Burdens. This increase is not due to any program changes. The 
change in the burden and cost estimates is due to more accurate 
estimates of existing sources based on EPA's recent re-evaluation of 
the source category inventory, which indicated that several facilities 
have shut down since the last ICR renewal period. These changes result 
in an overall decrease in the labor hours and O&M costs.
