The First Federal Register dated Wednesday, December 1, 2004,
published on page 69910 under ``List of ICRs Planned to be Submitted''
number (2) NESHAP for Friction Materials Manufacturing (40 CFR part 63,
subpart OOOO), should have read NESHAP for Friction Materials
Manufacturing (40 CFR part 63, subpart QQQQQ). We are hereby correcting
the subpart to reflect the change as QQQQQ in this Federal Register
document.
Title: NESHAP for Friction Materials Manufacturing (Renewal).
Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air
Pollutants (NESHAP), for Friction Materials Manufacturing were proposed
on October 4, 2001 (66 FR 50768), and promulgated on October 18, 2002
(67 FR 64498). These standards apply to any new, reconstructed, or
existing solvent mixers located at a friction materials manufacturing
facility engaged in the manufacture of friction materials such as brake
and clutch linings. A friction materials manufacturing facility is only
subject to the regulation if it is a major source of hazardous air
pollutant (HAP) if it emits or has the potential to emit any single HAP
at a rate of 10 tons (9.07 megagrams) or more per year or any
combination of HAP at a rate of 25 tons (22.68 megagrams) or more per
year.
Owners or operators must submit notification reports upon the
construction or reconstruction of any friction materials manufacturing
facility. Semiannual reports for periods of operation during which the
emission limitation is exceeded (or reports certifying that no
exceedances have occurred) also are required. Records and reports will
be required to be retained for a total of five years: two years at the
site, and the remaining three years at an off-site location.
Notifications are used to inform the Agency or delegated authority
when a source becomes subject to the standard. The reviewing authority
may then inspect the source to check if the pollution control devices
are properly installed and operated, and the standard is being met. The
information generated by monitoring, recordkeeping and reporting
requirements described in this ICR is used by the Agency to ensure that
facilities that are affected by the standard continue to operate the
control equipment and achieve continuous compliance with the
regulation.
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 EPA regional office.
An 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. The OMB Control Numbers for EPA's
regulations are listed in 40 CFR part 9 and 48 CFR chapter 15, and are
identified on the form and/or instrument, if applicable.
Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 162
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.
Respondents/Affected Entities: Owners or operators of friction
materials manufacturing facilities.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 4.
Frequency of Response: Initially, annually, semiannually and
occasionally.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 1,296.
Estimated Total Annual Costs: $103,424, which includes $0
annualized capital/startup costs, $1,000 annual O&M costs, and $103,424
Respondent Labor Costs.
Changes in the Estimates: There is no change in the number of
respondents identified in the active ICR, however, there is a decrease
of 94 hours in the estimated burden currently identified in the OMB
Inventory of Approved ICR Burdens. The decrease is attributed to the
fact that the renewal ICR reflects that all four sources are in
compliance with the standard and there are no new sources with
reporting requirements.
