Title: NESHAP for Aerospace Manufacturing and Rework (Renewal).
ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 1687.07, OMB Control Number 2060-0314.
ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on September 30, 2007.
Under OMB regulations, the Agency may continue to conduct or sponsor
the collection of information while this submission is pending at OMB.
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
in title 40 of the CFR, after appearing in the Federal Register when
approved, are listed in 40 CFR part 9, and displayed either by
publication in the Federal Register or by other appropriate means, such
as on the related collection instrument or form, if applicable. The
display of OMB control numbers in certain EPA regulations is
consolidated in 40 CFR part 9.
Abstract: The respondents to the information collection are owners
or operators of new, reconstructed, and existing aerospace
manufacturing and rework facilities where the total hazardous air
pollutants (HAP) emitted are greater than or equal to 10 tons per year
of any one HAP; or where the total HAP emitted are greater than or
equal to 25 tons per year of any combination of HAP. Operations covered
include: Cleaning, primer and top coat application, depainting,
chemical milling maskant application, and handling and storage of
waste. This information will then be used by enforcement agencies to
verify that sources subject to the standard are meeting the emission
reductions mandated by the Clean Air Act.
Owners/operators of aerospace manufacturing and rework facilities
are required to submit initial notification, performance tests, and
periodic reports. Respondents 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. Semiannual reports are also
[[Page 53566]]
required. These notifications, reports, and records are essential in
determining compliance; and are required, in general, of all sources
subject to NESHAP.
Any owner or operator subject to the provisions of this part shall
maintain a file of these measurements, and retain the file for at least
five years following the date of such measurements, maintain reports
and records. 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. This information
is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 63, subpart GG
as authorized in section 112 and 114(a) of the Clean Air Act. The
required information consists of emissions data and other information
that have been determined to be private.
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 Number 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 259
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 which have subsequently changed; 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: Aerospace manufacturing and rework.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 136.
Frequency of Response: Initially, quarterly, semiannually and on
occasion.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 141,018.
Estimated Total Annual Cost: $12,611,605, which includes $0
annualized Capital
Startup costs, $136,000 annualized Operating and Maintenance (O&M)
costs, and $12, 575,605 annualized Labor costs.
Changes in the Estimates: There is an adjustment decrease of 627
hours in the total estimated burden hours as currently identified in
the OMB Inventory of Approved Burdens, This decrease is not due to any
program changes.
Dated: September 11, 2007.
