Abstract: The New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for Magnetic Tape Coating Facilities (40 CFR part 60, subpart SSS) were proposed on January 22, 1986; promulgated on October 3, 1988; and most-recently amended on February 12, 1999. These regulations apply to both existing and new coating operation and coating mixing equipment at magnetic tape coating facilities. 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: 4 (total). Frequency of response: Initially, quarterly, and semiannually. Total estimated burden: 811 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b). Total estimated cost: $132,000 (per year), which includes $34,900 in annualized capital/startup and/or operation & maintenance costs. Changes in the Estimates: The decrease in burden from the most- recently approved ICR is due to an adjustment(s). The adjustment decrease in burden from the most-recently approved ICR is due to a decrease in the number of sources. The number of respondents decreased by approximately 33%. The adjustment decrease in the number of respondents is due to a review of the EPA's Enforcement and Compliance History Online (ECHO) database, a list of [[Page 72484]] facilities from a 2003 EPA Residual Risk Analysis, and facility permits. Additionally, the previous ICR included capital/startup costs in the estimated burden due to the addition of new coating lines to existing facilities. For the next three years, we do not expect new coating lines to be added, but the existing continuous monitoring equipment are expected to have O&M costs.
