    Title: NSPS for Magnetic Tape Coating Facilities (Renewal).
    ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 1135.09, OMB Control Number 2060-0171.
    ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on June 30, 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: This Information Collection Request (ICR) renewal is 
being submitted for the NSPS for Magnetic Tape Coating Facilities (40 
CFR part 60, subpart SSS), which was proposed on January 22, 1986, and 
promulgated on October 3, 1988. The affected entities also are subject 
to the General Provisions of the NSPS at 40 CFR part 60, subpart A and 
any changes, or additions to the General Provisions specified 40 CFR 
part 60, subparts SSS. This standard applies to each coating operation 
and each piece of coating mix preparation equipment commencing 
construction, modification, or reconstruction after the date of 
proposal. Owners and operators of magnetic tape coating facilities 
subject to NSPS must notify EPA of construction, reconstruction, 
anticipated and actual startup dates, and results of performance tests. 
Records of performance test results, shutdowns, and malfunctions must 
be maintained. These notifications, reports, and records are essential 
in determining compliance and are required, in general, of all sources 
subject to NSPS.
    Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping 
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 95 
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: Magnetic tape coating facilities.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 8.
    Frequency of Response: Initially, on occasion, quarterly and semi-
annually.
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 2,017.
    Estimated Total Annual Cost: $215,776, which is comprised of 
$33,600 in capital and startup costs, $52,800 in operation and 
maintenance costs, and $129,376 in labor costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is no change in the total estimated 
hourly burden or annual capital, start-up or O&M costs currently 
identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR Burdens. There was an 
adjustment made to accurately reflect the number of responses per year, 
which modified the number of hours per response from 88 to 95 hours per 
response.
