    Abstract: Owners and operators of affected facilities are required 
to comply with reporting and record keeping requirements for the 
General Provisions (40 CFR part 63, subpart A and 40 CFR part 60, 
subpart A), as well as for the specific requirements at 40 CFR part 63, 
subpart NNN and 40 CFR part 60 Subpart PPP. This includes submitting 
initial notification reports, performance tests and periodic reports 
and results, and maintaining 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 reports are used by EPA to determine compliance with 
these standards. This information is being collected to assure 
compliance with 40 CFR part 60, subpart PPP.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Wool fiberglass insulation 
manufacturing plants.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 60, 
subpart PPP and 40 CFR part 63, subpart NNN).
    Estimated number of respondents: 38 (total).
    Frequency of response: Semiannual.
    Total estimated burden: 5,580 hours (per year) (total). Burden is 
defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $1,250,000 (per year), which includes 
$585,445 in annualized capital/startup and/or operation & maintenance 
costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is a net adjustment decrease in 
burden from

the most-recently approved ICR due to more accurate estimates of 
existing sources. The industry trade organization North American 
Insulation Manufacturers Association (NAIMA) commented in response to 
consultation that an estimate of five facilities subject to 40 CFR part 
63, subpart NNN is more accurate than the previous estimate, while the 
previous estimate of facilities subject to subpart PPP is increasing by 
one due to construction of a new facility. The labor cost per facility 
has increased due to updated labor rates from the most-recent Bureau of 
Labor Statistics report (September 2021).
    There is a net adjustment decrease in the operation and maintenance 
(O&M) costs as calculated in section 6(b)(iii) compared with the costs 
in the previous ICR, due to the decreased number of respondents subject 
to Subpart NNN based on the information provided by NAIMA. This offsets 
the increase in capital and O&M costs due to the addition of one 
facility subject to Subpart PPP.
    This ICR also includes an adjustment decrease in the annual 
estimated hours to familiarize with regulatory requirements (Table 1b) 
to align with the typical time required for existing respondents to 
refamiliarize themselves with the NESHAP regulations each year.
