    Title: NSPS/NESHAP for Wool Fiberglass Insulation Manufacturing 
Plants (Renewal).
    ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 1160.12, OMB Control Number 2060-0114.
    ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on June 30, 2013. Under 
OMB regulations, the Agency may continue to conduct or sponsor the 
collection of information while this submission is pending at OMB.
    Abstract: The affected entities are subject to the General 
Provisions of the NSPS/NESHAP at 40 CFR part 60, subpart A and part 63, 
subpart A, and any changes, or additions to the Provisions specified at 
40 CFR part 60, subpart PPP and part 63, subpart NNN.
    Owners or operators of the affected facilities must submit an 
initial notification report, performance tests, and periodic reports 
and results. 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. Reports are required annually at 
a minimum.
    Respondents/Affected Entities: Owners or operators of wool 
fiberglass manufacturing facilities.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 61
    Frequency of Response: Occasionally and semiannually
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 18,559
    Estimated Total Annual Cost: $2,285,560, which includes $1,797,060 
in labor costs, no capital/startup costs, and $488,500 in operation and 
maintenance (O&M) costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is no change in the labor hours in 
this ICR compared to the pervious ICR. This is due to two 
considerations: (1) The regulations have not changed over the past 
three years; and (2) the growth rate for the industry is very low, 
negative or non-existent, so there is no significant change in the 
overall burden. However, there is an adjustment increase in the total 
estimated labor costs. The change in cost estimates occurred because 
the labor rates have increased since the last ICR. This ICR used the 
most recent labor rates in calculating all burden costs.
    Additionally, the annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden 
for this collection of information has increased from 103 hours per 
response to 145 hours per response (41 hours per response for 40 CFR 
part 60, subpart PPP, and 249 hours per response for 40 CFR part 63, 
subpart NNN). This is due to a correction in the total number of annual 
responses. The total number of annual responses decreased from 180 to 
128. To calculate the number of responses, the previous ICR assumed 
that all 29 sources subject to subpart NNN were required to submit 
Startup, Shutdown, and Malfunction (SSM) reports semiannually. This 
method was inconsistent with the burden calculations for Tables 1a and 
1b, which assumed only 10% of all sources submit such reports. This ICR 
corrected the number of sources for submitting SSM reports, which 
results in a decrease in the number of responses for subpart NNN.
