    Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air 
Pollutants (NESHAP) for Area Sources: Asphalt Processing and Asphalt 
Roofing Manufacturing (40 CFR part 63, subpart AAAAAAA) were proposed 
on July 9, 2009, promulgated on December 2, 2009, and amended on March 
18, 2010. These regulations apply to existing facilities and new 
facilities that are Area Sources and that either process asphalt or 
manufacture asphalt roofing products. New facilities include those that 
commenced construction, modification or reconstruction after the date 
of proposal. This information is being collected to assure compliance 
with 40 CFR part 63, subpart AAAAAAA.
    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.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Existing and new facilities that are 
area sources and that process asphalt or manufacture asphalt roofing 
products. New facilities include those that commenced construction, 
modification or reconstruction after the date of proposal.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 63, 
subpart AAAAAAA).
    Estimated number of respondents: 35 (total).
    Frequency of response: Semiannually.
    Total estimated burden: 1,410 hours (per year). Burden is defined 
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $161,000 (per year), which includes $525 in 
annualized capital/startup and/or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the estimates: There is a decrease in hours in the total 
estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently-approved by 
OMB. This is due to a decrease in EPA's estimate of the number of 
industry sources subject to this regulation, which is based on 
information collected during a recent analysis of asphalt processing 
and asphalt roofing major sources for a risk and technology review. The 
growth rate for the industry continues to be very low, negative or non-
existent.
