Title: NSPS for Asphalt Processing and Roofing Manufacture
(Renewal).
ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 0661.09, OMB Control Number 2060-0002.
ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on January 31, 2008.
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 New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for Asphalt
Processing and Roofing Manufacture (40 CFR part 60, subpart UU), were
proposed on November 18, 1980 and promulgated on May 26, 1981. These
standards apply to each saturator and each asphalt storage facility at
asphalt roofing plants; and to each asphalt storage tank and each
blowing still at asphalt processing plants, petroleum refineries, and
asphalt roofing plants. New facilities include those that commenced
construction, modification or reconstruction after the date of
proposal. This information will then be used by enforcement agencies to
[[Page 3956]]
verify that sources subject to the standard are meeting the emission
reductions mandated by the Clean Air Act.
Owners/operators of asphalt processing and roofing manufacture are
required to submit one-time only notification of construction/
reconstruction, actual startup, initial performance test, physical or
operational changes, and demonstration of a continuous monitoring
system. Records must be maintained 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, in general, of all sources
subject to NSPS.
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
two years following the date of such measurements, maintenance 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 60, subpart
UU, 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 113
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: Asphalt processing and roofing
manufacture.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 144.
Frequency of Response: Initially, and semiannually.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 33,912.
Estimated Total Annual Cost: $8,714,925, which includes $200,000
annualized Capital Startup costs, $5,040,000 annualized Operating and
Maintenance (O&M) costs, and $3,474,925 annualized Labor costs.
Changes in the Estimates: There is an adjustment increase in the
total estimated burden hours as currently identified in the OMB
inventory of burdens because the previous tables did not represent all
of the reporting requirements. The decrease in the number of sources
was caused by buy-outs and/or consolidation which the industry has been
experiencing for the last several years. The decrease in the capital
startup and O&M costs estimates as compared with the previous ICR is
attributed solely to the decrease in the number of sources. This ICR
corrects the deficiencies.
