NSPS for Asphalt Processing and Roofing Manufacture 

1.  Identification of the Information Collection

1(a)  Title of the Information Collection

NSPS for Asphalt Processing and Roofing Manufacture (40 CFR part 60,
subpart UU) (Renewal)

1(b)  Short Characterization/Abstract

The New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for Asphalt Processing and
Asphalt Roofing Manufacture were proposed on November 18, 1980, amended
on May 26, 1981, and promulgated on August 6, 1982.  These standards
apply to each saturator and each asphalt storage facility at asphalt
roofing plants; and to each asphalt storage tank and each blowing still
at asphalt processing plants, petroleum refineries, and asphalt roofing
plants.  New facilities include those that commenced construction,
modification or reconstruction after the date of proposal.  This
information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 60,
subpart UU.

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
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 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.  Reports to the regulatory authority are made semiannually.
 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 United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
regional office.

Based on our consultations with industry representatives, it was
determined that there is an average of four affected facilities at each
plant site, and that each plant site has only one respondent (i.e., the
owner/operator of the plant site).

Over the next three years, an average of 144 facilities per year will be
subject to the standard, and it is estimated that two additional sources
will undergo reconstruction and become new sources subject to the
regulation each year over the next three years.

There are approximately 144 asphalt processing and roofing manufacture
plants in the United States, which are all publicly owned and operated
by the asphalt processing and roofing manufacturers industry.  None of
the 144 facilities in the United States are owned by either state,
local, tribal or the Federal Government.  They are all owned and
operated solely by privately owned for-profit businesses.  You can find
the burden to the “Affected Public” listed below in Table 1: Annual
Industry Burden and Cost - NSPS for Asphalt Processing and Roofing
Manufacture (40 CFR part 60, subpart UU).  The Federal government burden
does not include work performed by Federal employees only work performed
by contractors, which could be found listed below in Table 2: Average
Annual EPA Burden - NSPS for Asphalt Processing and Roofing Manufacture
(40 CFR part 60, subpart UU).

The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approved the currently active
ICR without any “Terms of Clearance.”

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 (CAA), 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, and use such audit
procedures, or methods; (D) sample such emissions (in accordance with
such procedures or methods, at such locations, at such intervals, during
such periods, and in such manner as the Administrator shall prescribe);
(E) keep records on control equipment parameters, production variables
or other indirect data when direct monitoring of emissions is
impractical; (F) submit compliance certifications in accordance with
Section 114(a)(3); and (G) provide such other information as the
Administrator may reasonably require.

In the Administrator's judgment, particulate matter emissions from
asphalt processing and roofing manufacture cause or contribute to air
pollution that may reasonably be anticipated to endanger public health
or welfare.  Therefore, the NSPS was promulgated for this source
category at 40 CFR part 60, subpart UU.

2(b)  Practical Utility/Users of the Data

The recordkeeping and reporting requirements in the standard ensure
compliance with the applicable regulations which where promulgated in
accordance with the Clean Air Act.  The collected information is also
used for targeting inspections and as evidence in legal proceedings.

Performance tests are required in order to determine an affected
facility’s initial capability to comply with the emission standard. 
Continuous emission monitors are used to ensure compliance with the
standard at all times.  During the performance tests, a record of the
operating parameters under which compliance was achieved may be recorded
and used to determine compliance in place of a continuous emission
monitor.

The notifications required in the standard are used to inform the Agency
or delegated authority when a source becomes subject to the requirements
of the regulations.  The reviewing authority may then inspect the source
to ensure that the pollution control devices are properly installed and
operated, that leaks are being detected and repaired, and that the
standard is being met.  The performance test may also be observed.

The required semiannual reports are used to determine periods of excess
emissions, identify problems at the facility, verify
operation/maintenance procedures, and for compliance determinations.

3.  Nonduplication, Consultations, and Other Collection Criteria

The requested recordkeeping and reporting are required under 40 CFR part
60, subpart UU.

3(a)  Nonduplication

If the subject standards have not been delegated, the information is
sent directly 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 standards to
implement the Federal standards, 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 standards.  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 (72 FR 10735) on March 9, 2007. 
No comments were received on the burden published in the Federal
Register.

3(c)  Consultations

Over the next three years, an average of 144 facilities per year will be
subject to the standard, with two existing sources undergoing
reconstruction each year over the next three years.  In estimating the
affected number of sources and the growth rate of asphalt processing and
roofing manufacture subject to this standard, EPA contacted Mr. James
Baker, Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association (ARMA), (202) 207-0917,
Mr. Robert Adler, Energy Information Administration (EIA), (202)
586-1134, and Mr. Earl Arp, Asphalt Institute, (859) 288-4960.  We
referenced the most recent data available.  We reviewed information
available from the Online Tracking Information System (OTIS) which is
the primary source of information regarding the number of existing
sources.  OTIS data was used in conjunction with industry consultation
to verify the number of sources and the industry growth rate.

3(d)  Effects of Less Frequent Collection

Less frequent information collection would decrease the margin of
assurance that facilities are continuing to meet the 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 proper operation
and maintenance of control equipment and the possibility of detecting
violations would be less likely.

3(e)  General Guidelines

These reporting or recordkeeping requirements do not violate any of the
regulations promulgated by OMB under 5 CFR part 1320, section 1320.5.

 	

3(f)  Confidentiality

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 title 40, chapter 1, part 2, subpart B -
Confidentiality of Business Information (CBI) (see 40 CFR 2; 41 FR
36902, September 1, 1976; amended by 43 FR 40000, September 8, 1978; 43
FR 42251, September 20, 1978; 44 FR 17674, March 23, 1979).

3(g)  Sensitive Questions

None of the reporting or recordkeeping requirements contain sensitive
questions.

4.  The Respondents and the Information Requested

4(a)  Respondents/SIC Codes

The respondents to the recordkeeping and reporting requirements are
asphalt processing and roofing manufacture facilities.  The United
States Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) codes which correspond
to the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) codes could
be found in the following table:

40 CFR part 60, subpart UU	SIC Codes	NAICS Codes

Petroleum Refineries	2911	324110

Asphalt Paving Mixtures and Block Manufacturing	2951	324121

Asphalt Felts and Coatings	2952	324122



4(b)  Information Requested

None of these reporting or recordkeeping requirements violate any of the
regulations established by OMB at 5 CFR part 1320, section 1320.5.

(i)  Data Items

In this ICR, all the data recorded or reported is required by the New
Source Performance Standards for Asphalt Processing and Roofing
Manufacture (40 CFR part 60, subpart UU).

A source must make the following reports:

Notifications

Notification of construction/reconstruction	60.7(a)(1)

Notification of actual startup date	60.7(a)(3)

Notification of physical or operational change which may increase the
emission rate	60.7(a)(4

Notification of demonstration of continuous monitoring system	60.7(a)(5)

Notification of initial performance test	60.8(d)

Report of initial performance test	60.8(c)



A source must keep the following records:

Recordkeeping 

Startup, shutdown, malfunctions, periods where the continuous monitoring
system is inoperative	60.7(b)

Operating temperature measurements of pollution control devices as
appropriate, and the initial performance test results including
temperature measurements	60.7(d)

Continuously monitor and record the temperature of the gas at the inlet
of the control device	60.473(a)

Continuously monitor and record the temperature in the combustion zone
of the afterburner	60.472(b)(1)

For control devices not mentioned in paragraphs (a) and (b) of this
section, describing the operation of the control device and the process
parameter(s)	60.473(c)

Records are required to be retained for two years	60.7(f)



Electronic Reporting

Some of the respondents are using monitoring equipment that
automatically records parameter data.  Although personnel at the
affected facility must still evaluate the data, internal automation has
significantly reduced the burden associated with monitoring and
recordkeeping at a plant site.

Also, regulatory agencies in cooperation with the respondents continue
to create reporting systems to transmit data electronically.  However,
electronic reporting systems are still not widely used.  At this time,
it is estimated that approximately 10 percent of the respondents use
electronic reporting.

Respondent Activities

Read instructions.

Install, calibrate, maintain, and operate temperature monitoring device.

Enter information required to be recorded above.

Perform initial performance test, Reference Methods 5A, 9, 22 and repeat
performance tests if necessary.

Write the notifications and reports listed above.

Enter information required to be recorded above.

Submit the required reports developing, acquiring, installing, and
utilizing technology and systems for the purpose o collecting,
validating, and verifying information.

Develop, acquire, install, and utilize technology and systems for the
purpose of processing and maintaining information.

Develop, acquire, install, and utilize technology and systems for the
purpose of processing and maintaining 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.

Transmit, or otherwise disclose the information.



	Currently, sources are using monitoring equipment that provides
parameter data in an automated way e.g., continuous parameter monitoring
system.  Although personnel at the source still need to evaluate the
data, this type of monitoring equipment has significantly reduced the
burden associated with monitoring and recordkeeping.

5.  The Information Collected: Agency Activities, Collection
Methodology, and Information Management

5(a)  Agency Activities

EPA conducts the following activities in connection with the
acquisition, analysis, storage, and distribution of the required
information.

Agency Activities

Observe initial performance tests and repeat performance tests if
necessary.

Review notifications and reports, including performance test reports,
excess emissions reports, required to be submitted by industry.

Audit facility records.

Input, analyze, and maintain data in the Online Tracking Information
System (OTIS).



5(b)  Collection Methodology and Management

Following notification of startup, the reviewing authority might inspect
the source to determine whether the pollution control devices are
properly installed and operational.  Performance test reports are used
by the Agency to discern a source’s initial capability to comply with
the emission standard, and note the operating conditions under which
compliance was achieved.  Data and records maintained by the respondents
are tabulated and published for use in compliance and enforcement
programs.  The semiannual reports are used for problem identification,
as a check on source operation and maintenance, and for compliance
determinations.

Information contained in the reports is entered into OTIS which is
operated and maintained by the EPA Office of Compliance.  OTIS is an EPA
database for the collection, maintenance, and retrieval of compliance
data for approximately 125,000 industrial and government-owned
facilities.  EPA uses OTIS for tracking air pollution compliance and
enforcement by local and state regulatory agencies, EPA regional offices
and EPA headquarters.  EPA and its delegated Authorities can edit,
store, retrieve and analyze the data.

The records required by this regulation must be retained by the owner or
operator for two years.

5(c)  Small Entity Flexibility

The majority of the respondents are large entities (i.e., large
businesses).  However, the impact on small entities (i.e., small
businesses,) was taken into consideration during the development of 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 to be the minimum
requirements 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.

5(d)  Collection Schedule

The specific frequency for each information collection activity within
this request is shown in Table 1: Annual Industry Burden, NSPS for
Asphalt Processing and Roofing Manufacture (40 CFR part 60, subpart UU).

6.  Estimating the Burden and Cost of the Collection

Table 1 documents the computation of individual burdens for the
recordkeeping and reporting requirements applicable to the industry for
the subpart included in this ICR.  The individual burdens are expressed
under standardized headings believed to be consistent with the concept
of burden under the Paperwork Reduction Act.  Wherever 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 to be 33,912
(Total Labor Hours from Table 1).  These hours are based on Agency
studies and background documents from the development of the regulation,
Agency knowledge and experience with the NSPS program, the previously
approved ICR, and any comments received.

6(b)  Estimating Respondent Costs

(i)  Estimating Labor Costs 

This ICR uses the following labor rates:

Managerial	$107.63 ($51.25 + 110%)   

Technical	$93.41   ($44.48 + 110%)

Clerical	$45.87   ($21.84 + 110%)

These rates are from the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of
Labor Statistics, March 2007, Table 2. Civilian Workers, by occupational
and industry group.  The rates are from column 1, Total compensation. 
The rates have been increased by 110% to account for the benefit
packages available to those employed by private industry.

(ii)  Estimating Capital/Startup and Operation and Maintenance Costs

The only costs to the regulated industry resulting from information
collection activities required by the subject standard are labor costs. 
The type of industry costs associated with the information collection
activities in the subject standard are both labor costs which are
addressed elsewhere in this ICR and the costs associated with continuous
monitoring.  The capital/startup costs are one-time costs when a
facility becomes subject to the regulation.  The annual operation and
maintenance costs are the ongoing costs to maintain the monitor and
other costs such as photocopying and postage.

The total capital/startup costs for this ICR are $200,000.  This is the
total of column D in the above table. 

The total operation and maintenance (O&M) costs for this ICR are
$5,040,000.  This is the total of column G. 

The average annual cost for capital/startup and operation and
maintenance costs to industry over the next three years of the ICR is
estimated to be $5,240,000.

6(c)  Estimating Agency Burden and Cost

The only costs to the Agency are those costs associated with analysis of
the reported information.  EPA's overall compliance and enforcement
program includes activities such as the examination of records
maintained by the respondents, periodic inspection of sources of
emissions, and the publication and distribution of collected
information.

The average annual Agency cost during the three years of the ICR is
estimated to be $148,498.

This cost is based on the average hourly labor rate as follows:

           Managerial	$58.18 (GS-13, Step 5, $36.36 + 60%) 

           Technical	$43.17 (GS-12, Step 1, $26.98 + 60%)

           Clerical	$23.36 (GS-6, Step 3, $14.60 + 60%)

These rates are from the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) 2007
General Schedule which excludes locality rates of pay.  Details upon
which this estimate is based appear in Table 2: Average Annual EPA
Burden, NSPS for Asphalt Processing and Roofing Manufacture (40 CFR part
60, subpart UU), below.

6(d)  Estimating the Respondent Universe and Total Burden and Costs

	

Based on our research for this ICR, on average over the next three
years, approximately 144 existing respondents will be subject to the
standard.  It is estimated that two additional respondent will become
subject over the next three years.

The number of respondents is calculated using the following table that
addresses the three years covered by this ICR.  

Number of Respondents

Year	(A)

Number of 1 New Respondents	(B)

Number of Existing Respondents	(C)

Number of Existing Respondents That Keep Records But Do Not Submit

Average	2	144	0	2	144

1 New respondent include sources with constructed, reconstructed and
modified affected facilities.  In this standard existing respondents
submit initial notifications.

To avoid double-counting respondents, column D is subtracted.  As shown
above, the average Number of Respondents over the three-year period of
this ICR is 144.

The total number of annual responses per year is calculated using the
following table:

	Total	300



The number of total respondents is 144.

The number of Total Annual Responses is 300.  This is the number in
column E of the Respondent Universe and Number of Responses per year in
table above.

The total annual labor costs are $3,474,925.  Details regarding these
estimates may be found in Table 1: Annual Industry Burden, NSPS for
Asphalt Processing and Roofing Manufacture (40 CFR part 60, subpart UU),
below.

6(e)  Bottom Line Burden Hours Burden Hours and Cost Tables

The detailed bottom line burden hours and cost calculations for the
respondents and the Agency are shown in Tables 1 and 2, respectively,
and summarized below. 

(i) Respondent Tally

The total annual labor costs are $3,474,925.  Details regarding these
estimates may be found in Table 1. Annual Respondent Burden and Cost:
NSPS for Asphalt Processing and Roofing Manufacture (40 CFR part 60,
subpart UU), below.  Furthermore, the annual public reporting and
recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to
average 113 hours per response.

The total annual capital/startup and O&M cost to the regulated entity
are $5,240,000.

(ii) The Agency Tally

The average annual Agency burden and cost over next three years is
estimated to be 2,747 labor hours at a cost of $148,498.  See Table 2.
Annual Agency Burden and Cost: NSPS for Asphalt Processing and Roofing
Manufacture (40 CFR part 60, subpart UU), below.

6(f)  Reasons for Change in Burden

There is an adjustment increase in the total estimated burden hours as
currently identified in the OMB inventory of burdens because the
previous tables did not represent all of the reporting requirements. 
The decrease in the number of sources was caused by buy-outs and/or
consolidation which the industry has been experiencing for the last
several years.  The decrease in the capital startup and O&M cost
estimates as compared with the previous ICR is attributed solely to the
decrease in the number of sources.  This ICR renewal corrects the
deficiencies.  

6(g)  Burden Statement

The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection
of information is estimated to average 113 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.

An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to
respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a valid OMB
Control Number.  The OMB Control Numbers for EPA’s regulations are
listed at 40 CFR part 9 and 48 CFR chapter 15.

Assumptions:

a.  We have assumed that the average number of respondents that is
subject to the regulation will be 144 with  two source undergoing
reconstruction per year over the three-year period of this ICR.

b.  This ICR uses the following labor rates: $107.63 per hour for
Executive, Administrative, and Managerial labor; $93.41 per hour for
Technical labor, and $45.87 per hour for Clerical labor.  These rates
are from the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor
Statistics, March 2007, “Table 2.  Civilian Workers, by occupational
and industry group.” The rates are from column 1, “Total
compensation.”  The rates have been increased by 110 percent to
account for the benefit packages available to those employed by private
industry.

c  We have assumed that it will take 72 hours of each respondent to
perform initial performance test.

d.  We have assumed that 20 percent of respondents will fail the
performance test and will have to repeat it.

e.  We have assumed that each respondent will take two hours to write
notification of construction/reconstruction report.

f.   We have assumed that each respondent will take 40 hours to write
notification and demonstration of CMS report.

g.  We have assumed that each respondent will take 2 hours to write
notification of physical or operational change.

h.  We have assumed that each respondent will enter information of daily
production rate and hours of operation 250 times per year.

i.  We have assumed that each respondent will take 15 minutes 250 times
per year to record the operating parameters of CMS.

j.  We have assumed that each respondent will take 60 hours to record
startup, shutdown, and malfunction information.

Assumptions:

a.  We have assumed that the average number of respondents will be 144
with two source undergoing reconstruction per year over the three-year
period of this ICR.

b.  The cost is based on the following labor rate which incorporates a
1.6 benefits multiplication factor to account for government overhead
expenses.  Managerial rates of $58.18 (GS-13, Step 5, $36.36x1.6),
Technical rate of $43.17 (GS-12, Step 1, $26.95 x 1.6), and Clerical
rate of $23.36 (GS-6, Step 3, $14.60 x 1.6).  These rates are from the
Office of Personnel Management (OPM) “2007 General Schedule” which
excludes locality rates of pay.

c.  We have assumed that it will take 24 hours of each respondent to
perform initial performance test.

d. We have assumed that 20 percent of respondents will fail the
performance test and will have to repeat it.

e.  We have assumed that it will take each respondent two hours one time
per year to review notification of construction/reconstruction report.

f.  We have assumed that it will take each respondent two hours one time
per year to review notification of physical/operation changes.

g.  We have assumed that it will take each respondents eight hours to
one time per year to review the performance test results report.
