    Abstract: Owners and operators of affected facilities are required 
to comply with reporting and record keeping requirements for the 
general provisions of 40 CFR part 63, subpart A, as well as the 
specific requirements at 40 CFR part 63, subpart QQQQQ. 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 the standards.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Friction materials manufacturing 
facilities.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 63, 
subpart QQQQQ).
    Estimated number of respondents: 2 (total).
    Frequency of response: Initially and semiannually.
    Total estimated burden: 659 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 
5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $69,700 (per year), which includes $544 in 
either annualized capital/start up 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 
change in the burden occurred due to a decrease in the respondent 
universe.

Director, Regulatory Support Division.
