SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: NSPS Subpart BBB, Rubber Tire Manufacturing Plants; EPA ICR
No.1158.06; OMB Control No. 2060-0156, expiring 7/31/98. This is a
request for an extension of a currently approved collection.
Abstract: All data in this ICR that is recorded and reported is
required by 40 CFR Part 60 Subpart BBB. The monitoring and
recordkeeping requirements include: maintain records of startups,
shutdowns, malfunctions, periods where the continuous monitoring system
is inoperative (60.7(b)), and of all measurements including performance
test measurements, operating parameters of monitoring device results
for catalytic or thermal incinerator, or carbon absorber (60.545 (a),
(b) and (c)); monthly VOCs use, number of days in compliance period,
and of other information needed to verify results of all monthly tests
(60.545 (d) and (e)); of formulation data or results of Method 24
analysis of water-based sprays containing less than 1.0 percent of VOC
(60.545(f); and of all other information required by this part recorded
in a permanent file suitable for inspection. The file shall be retained
for at least two years.
Following notification of startup, the reviewing authority might
inspect the source to check if the pollution control devices are
properly installed and operated. Performance test reports are used by
the Agency to discern a source's initial capability to comply with the
emission standard, and note the operating conditions specified above
under which compliance was achieved. Data obtained during periodic
visits by Agency personnel from records maintained by the respondents
are tabulated and published for internal Agency use in compliance and
enforcement programs. The semiannual reports are used for problem
identification, as a check on source operation and maintenance, and for
compliance determinations.
The required information consisting of emissions data and other
information have been determined not to be private. However, any
information submitted to the agency for which a claim of
confidentiality is made will be safeguarded according to the Agency
policies.
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. The
Federal Register Notice required under 5 CFR 1320.8(d), soliciting
comments on this collection of information was published on December 2,
1997. (FR Volume 62, Number 231). No comments were received.
Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 73
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.
New Affected Entities: Rubber Tire Manufacturing Plants
Estimated Number of Respondents: [31]
Frequency of Response: [Semiannually and annual reports]
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: [18,651] hours
Estimated Total Annualized Cost Burden: [$485,000]
