SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: NSPS Asphalt Processing and Asphalt Roofing Manufacture; OMB
Control Number 2060-0002; EPA ICR No. 0661.07, expiring September 30,
2001. This is a request for extension of a currently approved
collection.
Abstract: This ICR contains recordkeeping and reporting
requirements that are mandatory for compliance with 40 CFR Part 60, New
Source Performance Standards (NSPS), Subpart UU. The respondents of the
recordkeeping and reporting requirements are asphalt processing and
roofing manufacturers (SIC Codes 2911, 2951, and 2952) which commenced
construction, modification, or reconstruction after November 18, 1980,
or May 26, 1981 as appropriate. The control of emissions of particulate
matter from asphalt processing and asphalt roof manufacturing requires
not only the installation of properly designed equipment, but also the
operation and maintenance of that equipment. Particulate matter
emissions from asphalt processing and asphalt roof manufacturing are
the result of materials handling, fuel combustion, and storage. These
standards rely on the reduction of particulate matter emissions by
pollution control devices such as electrostatic precipitators, high
velocity
[[Page 49021]]
air filters, or afterburners. In order to ensure compliance with these
standards, adequate recordkeeping is necessary. In the absence of such
information enforcement personnel would be unable to determine whether
the standards are being met on a continuous basis, as required by the
Clean Air Act. The standards require initial notification reports with
respect to construction, modification, reconstruction, startups,
shutdowns, and malfunctions. The standards also require reports on
initial performance tests. Under the standard, the data collected by
the affected industry is retained at the facility for a minimum of two
(2) years and available for inspection by the Administrator.
An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required
to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a
currently valid OMB control number. The OMB control numbers for EPA's
regulations are listed in 40 CFR part 9 and 48 CFR Chapter 15. The
Federal Register document required by 5 CFR 1320.8(d), soliciting
comments on this collection of information was published on February 1,
2001. No comments were received.
Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 1,509
hours per response. Burden means the total time, effort, or financial
resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or
disclose or provide information to or for a Federal agency. This
includes the time needed to review instructions; develop, acquire,
install, and utilize technology and systems for the purposes of
collecting, validating, and verifying information, processing and
maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information;
adjust the existing ways to comply with any previously applicable
instructions and requirements; train personnel to be able to respond to
a collection of information; search data sources; complete and review
the collection of information; and transmit or otherwise disclose the
information.
Respondents/Affected Entities: Asphalt Processing and Asphalt
Roofing Manufacturers.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 83.
Frequency of Response: Initial start-up.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 15,089 hours.
Estimated Total Annualized Capital, O&M Cost Burden: $3,105,000.
Send comments on the Agency's need for this information, the
accuracy of the provided burden estimates, and any suggested methods
for minimizing respondent burden, including through the use of
automated collection techniques to the following addresses. Please
refer to EPA ICR Number 0661.07 and OMB Control Number 2060-0002, in
any correspondence.
Dated: September 12, 2001.

Director, Collection Strategies Division.
