Short
Characterization/
Abstract
The
New
Source
Performance
Standards
(
NSPS)
for
rubber
tire
manufacturing
plants
were
proposed
on
January
20,
1983,
and
promulgated
on
September
15,
1987.
Minor
revisions
to
the
standards
of
performance
for
the
rubber
tire
manufacturing
industry
were
proposed
on
February
14,
1989
and
promulgated
on
September
19,
1989.
These
standards
apply
undertread
cementing
operations,
sidewall
cementing
operations,
tread
end
cementing
operations,
bead
cementing
operations,
green
tire
spraying
operations,
Michelin­
A
operations,
Michelin­
B
operations,
and
Michelin­
C­
automatic
operations,
commencing
construction,
modification
or
reconstruction
after
January
20,
1993.
This
information
is
being
collected
to
assure
compliance
with
40
CFR
Part
60,
Subpart
BBB.

In
general,
all
NSPS
standards
require
initial
notifications,
performance
tests,
and
periodic
reports.
Owners
or
operators
are
also
required
to
maintain
records
of
the
occurrence
and
duration
of
any
start­
up,
shutdown,
or
malfunction
in
the
operation
of
an
affected
facility,
or
any
period
during
which
the
monitoring
system
is
inoperative.
Monitoring
requirements
specific
to
rubber
tire
manufacturing
plants
provide
information
on
the
operation
of
the
emissions
control
device
and
compliance
with
the
VOCs
standards.
Semiannual
reports
of
excess
emissions
are
required.
These
notifications,
reports,
and
records
are
essential
in
determining
compliance,
and
are
required
of
all
sources
subject
to
NSPS.
Any
owner
or
operator
subject
to
the
provisions
of
this
part
shall
maintain
a
file
of
these
measurements,
and
retain
the
file
for
at
least
two
years
following
the
date
of
such
measurements,
maintenance
reports,
and
records.
All
reports
are
sent
to
the
delegated
State
or
Local
authority.
In
the
event
that
there
is
no
such
delegated
authority,
the
reports
are
sent
directly
to
the
EPA
Regional
Office.

Approximately
43
rubber
tire
manufacturing
plants
are
currently
subject
to
the
standard.
It
is
estimated
that
there
will
be
no
industry
growth
over
the
next
three
years.
Although
some
plants
may
conduct
operational
changes,
these
changes
will
not
trigger
applicability
of
this
rule.
We
are
also
assuming
that
all
plants
are
now
using
the
water­
based
sprays
that
meet
the
NSPS
green
tire
spray
limits
without
having
to
use
add­
on
control
equipment.
These
estimates
are
based
on
the
consultation
with
the
EPA
Office
of
Air
Quality
and
Standards.
The
assumptions
used
for
the
burden
estimate
in
this
ICR
are
substantially
different
from
the
previous
one
due
to
better
information
EPA
has
acquired
regarding
the
number
of
sources
subject
to
the
rule
and
the
lack
of
2
industry
growth
(
i.
e.,
no
new
sources).
The
cost
of
this
ICR
for
industry
will
be
$
727,797
dollars
(
rounded).

2.
Need
for
and
Use
of
the
Collection
2(
a)
Need/
Authority
for
the
Collection
The
EPA
is
charged
under
Section
111
of
the
Clean
Air
Act,
as
amended,
to
establish
standards
of
performance
for
new
stationary
sources
that
reflect:

"
Application
of
the
best
technological
system
of
continuous
emissions
reduction
which
(
taking
into
consideration
the
cost
of
achieving
such
emissions
reduction,
or
any
non­
air
quality
health
and
environmental
impact
and
energy
requirements)
the
Administrator
determines
has
been
adequately
demonstrated
[
Section
111(
a)(
l)]."

The
Agency
refers
to
this
charge
as
selecting
the
best
demonstrated
technology
(
BDT).
Section
111
also
requires
that
the
Administrator
review
and,
if
appropriate,
revise
such
standards
every
four
years.

In
addition,
Section
114(
a)
states
that:

.
.
.
the
Administrator
may
require
any
owner
or
operator
subject
to
any
requirement
of
this
Act
to
(
A)
establish
and
maintain
such
records,
(
B)
make
such
reports,
(
C)
install,
use,
and
maintain
such
monitoring
equipment
or
methods
(
in
accordance
with
such
methods
at
such
locations,
at
such
intervals,
and
in
such
manner
as
the
Administrator
shall
prescribe,
and
(
D)
sample
such
emissions,
(
E)
keep
records
on
control
equipment
parameters,
production
variables
or
other
indirect
data
when
direct
monitoring
of
emissions
is
impractical,
(
F)
submit
compliance
certifications,
and
(
G)
provide
such
other
information
as
he
may
reasonably
require.

In
the
Administrator's
judgment,
VOC
emissions
from
rubber
tire
manufacturing
plants
cause
or
contribute
to
air
pollution
that
may
reasonably
be
anticipated
to
endanger
public
health
or
welfare.
Therefore,
this
NSPS
was
promulgated
for
this
source
category
at
40
CFR
Part
60,
Subpart
BBB
(
the
rule).

2(
b)
Practical
Utility/
Users
of
the
Data
The
control
of
emissions
of
VOCs
from
rubber
tire
manufacturing
plants
requires
not
only
the
installation
of
properly
designed
control
devices,
but
also
continuing
operation
and
maintenance
(
O&
M)
of
the
emission
measurement
equipment.
VOCs
from
rubber
tire
manufacturing
plants
are
emitted
from
the
following
affected
facilities:
undertread
cementing
operations,
sidewall
cementing
operations,
tread
end
cementing
operations,
bead
cementing
operations,
green
tire
spraying
operations,
Michelin­
A
operations,
Michelin­
B
operations,
and
3
Michelin­
C­
automatic
operations.
The
reduction
of
VOC
emissions
is
accomplished
by
employing
thermal
incinerators,
and
catalytic
incinerators,
carbon
absorbers
and/
or
other
recovery
devices.

The
required
notifications
in
the
rule
are
used
to
inform
the
Agency
or
delegated
authority
when
a
source
becomes
subject
to
the
standard.
The
reviewing
authority
may
then
inspect
the
source
to
check
if
the
standard
is
being
met.
Performance
test
reports
are
needed
to
document
for
the
Agency
that
a
source
is
capable
of
complying
with
the
emission
standard,
and
under
what
operating
conditions
was
compliance
achieved.
The
semiannual
reports
are
used
for
problem
identification,
as
a
check
on
source
operation
and
maintenance,
and
for
compliance
determinations.
The
information
generated
by
the
monitoring,
recordkeeping
and
reporting
requirements
described
in
this
ICR
is
used
by
the
Agency
to
ensure
that
facilities
affected
by
the
NSPS
continue
to
operate
the
control
equipment
used
to
achieve
compliance
with
the
NSPS.
Adequate
monitoring,
recordkeeping,
and
reporting
is
necessary
to
ensure
compliance
with
these
standards,
as
required
by
the
Clean
Air
Act.
The
information
collected
from
recordkeeping
and
reporting
requirements
is
also
used
for
targeting
inspections,
and
is
of
sufficient
quality
to
be
used
as
evidence
in
court.

3.
Nonduplication,
Consultations,
and
Other
Collection
Criteria
The
recordkeeping
and
reporting
requested
is
required
under
40
CFR
Part
60,
Subpart
BBB.

3(
a)
Nonduplication
If
the
standard
has
not
been
delegated,
the
information
is
sent
to
the
appropriate
EPA
Regional
Office.
Otherwise,
the
information
is
sent
directly
to
the
delegated
State
or
Local
Agency.
If
a
State
or
Local
Agency
has
adopted
their
own
similar
regulation
to
implement
the
Federal
Regulation,
a
copy
of
the
report
submitted
to
the
State
or
Local
Agency
can
be
sent
to
the
Administrator
in
lieu
of
the
report
required
by
the
Federal
Standard.
Therefore,
no
duplication
exists.

3(
b)
Public
Notice
Required
Prior
to
ICR
Submission
to
OMB
An
announcement
of
a
public
comment
period
for
the
renewal
of
this
ICR
was
published
in
the
Federal
Register
on
February
1,
2001,(
66FR8588).
No
comments
were
received
on
the
burden
published
in
the
Federal
Register.

3(
c)
Consultations
No
comments
were
received
on
the
industry
burden
published
in
the
Federal
Register.
The
estimated
number
of
sources
and
the
assumptions
regarding
industry
growth
were
based
on
consultations
with
the
Regulatory
Affairs
Division
of
the
Rubber
Manufacturers
Association.

3(
d)
Effects
of
Less
Frequent
Collection
Less
frequent
information
collection
would
decrease
the
margin
of
assurance
that
facilities
are
continuing
to
meet
the
required
standards.
Requirements
for
information
gathering
and
recordkeeping
are
useful
techniques
to
ensure
that
good
operation
and
maintenance
practices
are
applied
and
emission
limitations
are
met.
If
the
information
required
by
these
standards
was
collected
less
frequently,
the
likelihood
of
detecting
poor
operation
and
maintenance
of
control
equipment
and
noncompliance
would
decrease.

3(
e)
General
Guidelines
None
of
these
reporting
or
recordkeeping
requirements
violate
any
of
the
regulations
established
by
OMB
in
5
CFR
1320.5.

3(
f)
Confidentiality
The
required
information
consists
of
emissions
data
and
other
information
that
have
been
determined
not
to
be
private.
However,
any
information
submitted
to
the
Agency
for
which
a
claim
of
confidentiality
is
made
will
be
safeguarded
according
to
the
Agency
policies
set
forth
in

Data
obtained
during

personnel
from
records
maintained

are
tabulated
and
published
for

The
semiannual
reports
are
used
for
problem
identification,
as
a
check
on
source
operation
and
maintenance,
and
for
compliance
determinations.

After
reviewing
the
various
reports
submitted
by
industry,
the
Agency
enters
the
results
of
the
reviews
into
the
Aerometric
Information
Retrieval
System
(
AIRS)
Facility
Subsystem
(
AFS)
which
is
operated
and
maintained
by
EPA's

Small
Entity
Flexibility
A
majority
of
the
affected
facilities
are
large
entities
(
e.
g.,
large
businesses).
However,
the
impact
on
small
entities
was
taken
into
consideration
during
the
development
the
regulation.

Due
to
technical
considerations
involving
the
process
operations
and
the
types
of
control
equipment
employed
,
the
recordkeeping
and
reporting
requirements
are
the
same
for
both
small
and
large
entities.
The
Agency
considers
these
requirements
the
minimum
needed
to
ensure
compliance
and,
therefore,
cannot
reduce
them
further
for
small
entities.
To
the
extent
that
larger
businesses
can
use
economies
of
scale
to
reduce
their
burden,
the
overall
burden
will
be
reduced.

individual
burdens
are
expressed
under
standardized
headings
believed
to
be
consistent
with
the
concept
of
burden
under
the
Paperwork
Reduction
Act.
Where
appropriate,
specific
tasks
and
major
assumptions
have
been
identified.
Responses
to
this
information
collection
are
mandatory.

The
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.

6(
a)
Estimating
Respondent
Burden
The
average
annual
burden
to
industry
over
the
next
three
years
from
these
recordkeeping
and
reporting
requirements
is
estimated
at
13,151
(
rounded)
person­
hours.
These
hours
are
based
on
Agency
studies
and
background
documents
from
the
development
of
the
standards
or
test
methods,
Agency
knowledge
and
experience
with
the
NSPS
program,
the
previously
approved
ICR,
and
any
comments
received.

Estimating
Respondent
Costs
(
i)
Estimating
Labor
Costs
This
ICR
uses
a
technical
labor
rate
of
$
55.34
per
hour.
This
rate
is
from
the
United
States
Department
of
Commerce
Bureau
of
Labor
Statistics,
March
2000,
"
Table
10.
Private
industry,
by
occupational
and
industry
group."
The
rate
is
from
column
1,
"
Total
compensation."
The
wage
9
rate
has
been
increased
by
110%
to
account
for
the
benefit
packages
available
to
those
employed
by
private
industry.

We
are
using
this
technical
labor
rate
since
employees
at
this
level
are
responsible
for
conducting
the
required
activities
to
meet
the
rule's
recordkeeping
and
reporting
requirements
for
the
rubber
tire
manufacturing
source
category.

(

Estimating
Capital/
Startup
and
Operation
and
Maintenance
Costs
There
are
both
capital/
startup
and
operation
and
maintenance
(
O&
M)
costs
associated
with
this
rule.
Two
types
of
monitoring
devices
are
used
to
collection
information:
the
gas
stream
monitoring
device
and
the
VOC
monitoring
device.
The
gas
stream
temperature
monitoring
device
has
continuous
recorder
to
measure
the
temperature
before
and
after
the
emission
reduction
at
the
control
device.
The
VOC
monitoring
device
has
a
continuous
analyzer
to
measure
the
outlet
gas
concentration
when
a
VOC
recovery
device
is
used.

The

are
one

when
an

facility
becomes
subject
to
the
standard.
Since
we
have
assumed
that
no
new
plants
will
be
built
in
the
next
three
years
and
operational
changes
at
existing
facilities
will
not
trigger
applicability
of
this
rule,
there
will
be
no
start­
up
costs
associated
with
this
rule
during
the
three­
year
period
that
this
ICR
addresses.
The
total
of
Column
D
is
therefore
zero.

The
total
annual
operations
and
maintenance
(
O&
M)
costs
for
this
ICR
are
$
17,200
dollars.
This
O&
M
estimate
is
based
on
the
assumption
that
10
percent
of
the
43
existing
plants
have
a
temperature
monitor
with
a
continuous
recorder
per
combustion
control
device
for
VOC
10
emission
reduction
(
e.
g.,
an
incinerator).
This
is
the
total
of
column
G.
This
number
is
then
multiplied
by
$
4,000
for
O&
M.
This

The
average
annual
burden
for
capital
and
start
up
costs
for
this
ICR
is
estimated
to
be
zero.
This
is
the

Estimating
Agency
Burden
and
Cost
The
costs
to
the
Agency
are
user
costs
associated
with
analysis
of
the
reported
information.
Publication
and
distribution
of
the
information
are
part
of
the
AIRS
program.
Examination
of
records
to
be
maintained
by
the
respondents
will
occur
as
part
of
the
periodic
inspection
of
sources,
which
is
part
of
EPA's
overall
compliance
and
enforcement
program.

The
average
annual
Agency
cost
during
the
3
years
of
the
ICR
is
estimated
to
be
$
14,613
(
see
Table
1
attached).
This
cost
is
based
on
a
GS­
12,
Step
1
average
hourly
labor
rate
times
a
1.6
benefit
multiplication
factor
to
account
for
government
overhead
expenses
for
a
total
hourly
rate
of
$
36.97.
This
rate
is
from
OPM's
"
2001
General
Schedule"
which
excludes
locality
rates
of
pay.

6(
f)
Reasons
for
Change
in
Burden
The
decrease
in
burden
hours
from
the
most
recently
approved
ICR
is
due
to
an
adjustment.
The
adjustment
decrease
is
due
to
a
decrease
in
the
number
of
new
sources.
The
ICR
preparer
assumed
that
there
will
be
no
industry
growth
based
on
consultation
with
EPA's
Office
of
Air
Quality
and
Standards
(
OAQPS).

OAQPS
provided
recent
information
regarding
the
number
of
sources
affected
by
the
rule
and
on
the
current
status
of
industry
in
meeting
rule
requirements
due
to
recent
efforts
to
obtain
data
on
this
sector
for
a
potential
new
rule
targeted
at
this
sector.
The
number
of
new
affected
facilities
per
year
has
decreased
to
zero
and
the
number
of
existing
sources
has
increased
to
43
when
compared
to
the
previous
ICR
which
listed
7
new
and
33
existing
sources
subject
to
the
rule.
Also,
OAQPS
indicated
that
all
of
the
plants
are
using
water­
based
sprays
that
meet
the
requirements
of
the
rule
and
will
not
need
to
use
an
organic
monitoring
device.
Therefore,
the
annualized
capital
and
operation
and
maintenance
costs
have
decrease
significantly
due
to
decreases
in
costs
associated
with
the
organic
monitoring
device
and
the
fact
that
there
will
be
no
new
affected
facilities
per
year.
