    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 either 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 the NESHAP.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Existing and new facilities that are 
area sources and that process asphalt or manufacture asphalt roofing 
products.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 63, 
subpart AAAAAAA).
    Estimated number of respondents: 59 (total).
    Frequency of response: Semiannually.
    Total estimated burden: 2,370 hours (per year). Burden is defined 
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $286,000 (per year), which includes $885 in 
annualized capital/startup and/or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: The increase in burden from the most 
recently approved ICR is due to an adjustment. The adjustment increase 
is due to an increase in the number of respondents based on review of 
the results of a Section 114 request from 2017, EPA's ECHO database, 
and facility permits. There is an increase in the operation and 
maintenance (O&M) costs due to the increased number of respondents.
