Title: NESHAP for Inorganic Arsenic Emissions from Glass
Manufacturing Plants (Renewal).
ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 1081.09, OMB Control Number 2060-0043.
ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on January 31, 2009.
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
[[Page 69635]]
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 National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air
Pollutants (NESHAP) for Inorganic Arsenic Emissions from Glass
Manufacturing Plants were proposed on July 20, 1983, and promulgated on
August 4, 1986. The standards were amended on both May 31, 1990 and
October 17, 2000. These standards apply to each glass melting furnace
that uses commercial arsenic as a raw material. These standards do not
apply to pot furnaces. Also, rebricking is not considered construction
or modification for the purposes of 40 CFR 61.05(a). This information
is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 61, subpart N.
The affected entities are subject to the General Provisions of the
NESHAP at 40 CFR part 60, subpart A, and any changes, or additions to
the General Provisions specified at 40 CFR part 63, subpart HHH.
Owners or operators 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. These notifications, reports, and
records are essential in determining compliance; and are required, in
general, of all sources subject to NESHAP.
Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 49
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: Glass melting furnaces that use
commercial arsenic as a raw material. These standards do not apply to
pot furnaces.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 16.
Frequency of Response: Initially, occasionally, semi-annually, and
yearly.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 3,098.
Estimated Total Annual Cost: $306,106, which is comprised of
$250,106 in labor costs, Operations & Maintenance (O&M) costs of
$56,000, and no annualized capital/start-up costs.
Changes in the Estimates: There is no change in the total
estimated burden currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved
ICR Burdens.
Dated: November 13, 2008.

Acting Director, Collection Strategies Division.
