    Title: NSPS and NESHAP for Wool Fiberglass Manufacturing Plants 
(Renewal).
    ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 1160.08, OMB Control Number 2060-0114.
    ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on February 28, 2007. 
Under OMB regulations, the Agency may continue to conduct or sponsor 
the collection of information while this submission is pending at OMB. 
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 
in title 40 of the CFR, after appearing in the Federal Register when 
approved, are listed in 40 CFR part 9, and displayed either by 
publication in the Federal Register or by other appropriate means, such 
as on the related collection instrument or form, if applicable. The 
display of OMB control numbers in certain EPA regulations is 
consolidated in 40 CFR part 9.
    Abstract: The New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for the 
regulations published at 40 CFR part 60, subpart PPP were proposed on 
February 7, 1984, and promulgated on February 25, 1985. These 
regulations apply to each rotary spin wool fiberglass insulation 
manufacturing line, which commenced construction, modification, or 
reconstruction after February 2, 1984. The purpose of this NSPS is to 
control the emissions of particulate matter from each rotary spin wool 
fiberglass insulation manufacturing line. The standards limit 
particulate emissions to 5.5 kilograms per megagram (11.0 lb./ton) of 
molten glass used to manufacture the product.
    The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants 
(NESHAP) for the regulations published at 40 CFR part 63, subpart NNN 
were proposed on March 31, 1997, and promulgated on June 14, 1999. 
These regulations apply to each glass melting furnace located at a wool 
fiberglass manufacturing plant;

[[Page 7978]]

each rotary spin (RS) manufacturing line producing building insulation; 
each new and existing flame attenuation (FA) manufacturing line that 
produces pipe products; and each new FA manufacturing line that 
produces heavy density products. Plants that manufacture mineral wool 
from rock or slag are not subject to the proposed rule but are subject 
to a separate NESHAP standard for mineral wool production. A facility 
that is determined to be an area source would not be subject to this 
NESHAP standard. This information is being collected to assure 
compliance with 40 CFR part 60, subpart PPP and 40 CFR part 63, subpart 
NNN.
    In general, all NSPS and NESHAP 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 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 sources subject to 
both the NSPS and NESHAP.
    Any owner or operator subject to the provisions of 40 CFR part 60, 
subpart PPP 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. Any owner or operator subject to the 
provisions of 40 CFR part 63, subpart NNN shall maintain a file of 
these measurements, and retain the file for at least five years 
following the date of such measurements, maintenance reports, and 
records. All reports for both the NSPS and NESHAP 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 United States 
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regional office.
    Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping 
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 101 
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 which have subsequently changed; 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: Wool Fiberglass Manufacturing 
Plants.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 61.
    Frequency of Response: Initially, on occasion and semiannually.
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 18,216.
    Estimated Total Annual Cost: $1,599,551, that is comprised of no 
capital costs, $489,000 in O&M costs and $1,110,551 in labor costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is no change in the labor hours or 
cost in this ICR compared to the previous ICR. This is due to two 
considerations. First, the regulations have not changed over the past 
three years and are not anticipated to change over the next three 
years. Secondly, the growth rate for the industry is low, negative or 
non-existent, so there is no significant change in the overall burden.
    Since there are no changes in the regulatory requirements and there 
is no significant industry growth, the labor hours and cost figures in 
the previous ICR are used in this ICR, and there is no change in burden 
to industry.
