    Abstract: The New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for NSPS for 
Magnetic Tape Coating Facilities (40 CFR part 60, subpart SSS) apply to 
each new and existing coating operation and coating mixing equipment at 
magnetic tape coating facilities for which construction, modification, 
or reconstruction began after January 22, 1986. 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 60, subpart SSS.
    In general, all NSPS 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 NSPS.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Magnetic tape coating facilities.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 60, 
subpart SSS).
    Estimated number of respondents: 6 (total).
    Frequency of response: Initially, quarterly, and semiannually.
    Total estimated burden: 2,030 hours (per year). Burden is defined 
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $321,000 (per year), includes $86,400 in 
annualized capital and/or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is no change in the labor hours in 
this ICR compared to the previous ICR. This is due to two 
considerations. First, the regulations have not changed over the past 
three years and are not anticipated to change over the next three 
years. Secondly, the growth rate for the industry is very low, negative 
or non-existent, so there is no significant change in the overall 
burden.
