    Abstract: Owners and operators of facilities subject the NSPS for 
Asphalt Processing and Roofing Manufacture are required to comply with 
reporting and record keeping requirements for the General Provisions 
(40 CFR part 60, subpart A), as well as for the specific requirements 
at 40 CFR part 60, subpart UU. This includes submitting initial 
notifications, performance tests and periodic reports and results, and 
maintaining 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 
reports are used by EPA to determine compliance with these standards.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/Affected Entities: Asphalt processing and roofing 
manufacture plants.
    Respondent's Obligation To Respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 60, 
subpart UU).
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 144 (total).
    Frequency of Response: Initially, occasionally, and semiannually.
    Total Estimated Burden: 34,100 hours (per year). Burden is defined 
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total Estimated Cost: $8,820,000 (per year), which includes 
$5,240,000 for both annualized capital/startup and operation & 
maintenance costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is an adjustment increase in the 
respondent labor hours as currently identified in the OMB Inventory of 
Approved Burdens. This increase is not due to any program changes. The 
change in the burden and cost estimates occurred due to a change in 
assumption. In accordance with the Terms of Clearance, this ICR assumes 
all existing respondents will have to familiarize with the regulatory 
requirements each year.

Director, Regulatory Support Division.
