    Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air 
Pollutants (NESHAP) for Magnetic Tape Manufacturing Operations (40 CFR 
part 63, subpart EE) were proposed on March 11, 1994, promulgated on 
December 15, 1994 and amended on both April 9, 1999 and April 7, 2006. 
These regulations apply to new and existing magnetic tape manufacturing 
operations located at major sources of hazardous air pollutants (HAP). 
These magnetic tape manufacturing operations include solvent storage 
tanks, mix preparation equipment, coating operations, waste handling 
devices, and condenser vents in solvent recovery. New facilities 
include those that commenced construction or reconstruction after the 
date of proposal. This information is being collected to assure 
compliance with 40 CFR part 63, subpart EE.
    In general, all NESHAP standards require initial notification 
reports, performance tests, and periodic reports by the owners/
operators of the affected facilities. They 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 affected facilities subject to 
NESHAP.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Magnetic tape manufacturing 
facilities.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 63, 
subpart EE).
    Estimated number of respondents: 4 (total).
    Frequency of response: Initially, quarterly, and semiannually.
    Total estimated burden: 2,710 hours (per year). Burden is defined 
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $344,000 (per year), which includes $35,000 
in annualized capital/startup and/or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is an adjustment decrease in the 
total estimated burden as currently identified in the OMB Inventory of 
Approved Burdens. This decrease is not due to any program changes. The 
decrease in burden is due to the more accurate estimates of existing 
based on the information in ECHO. Therefore, this ICR adjusts the total 
number of respondents to 4. The decrease in respondents also results in 
a decrease in responses and operation and maintenance costs.

Director, Regulatory Support Division.
