SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: NSPS for Glass Manufacturing Plants (40 CFR part 60, subpart
CC), OMB Control Number 2060-0054, EPA ICR Number 1131.07, expiration
date October 31, 2002. This is a request for extension of a currently
approved collection.
Abstract: The NSPS for Glass Manufacturing Plants (40 CFR part 60,
subpart CC) were proposed on June 15, 1979 and promulgated on October
7, 1980, and amended October 19, 1984. Approximately 45 sources are
currently subject to the standard, and it is estimated that no
additional sources will become subject to the standard in the next
three years. The standards do not apply to hand glass melting furnaces,
glass melting furnaces designed to produce less than 4,550 kilograms of
glass per day, or all-electric melters. Experimental furnaces are not
subject to the emission standards at 40 CFR 60.292. The standards set
particulate matter emission limits. There are separate limits for
sources using ``modified-process'' glass melting furnaces. Modified-
process is defined as any technique designed to minimize emissions
without add-on controls. Emission limits are specific for the type of
glass produced, and are listed at 40 CFR 60.292(a) and 60.293(b).
Owners or operators of the affected facilities described must make
initial notifications, conduct and report on a performance test,
demonstrate and report on continuous monitor performance, maintain
records of the occurrence and duration of any startup, shutdown, or
malfunction in the operation of an affected facility. Semiannual
reports of excess emissions are required. These notifications, reports,
and records are required, in general, for all sources subject to NSPS.
The recordkeeping and reporting requirements specific to glass
manufacturing plants are detailed in the CFR. This information is being
collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 60, subpart CC.
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.
In the Administrator's judgment, particulate matter emissions from
glass manufacturing plants cause or contribute to air pollution that
may reasonably be anticipated to endanger public health or welfare.
Therefore, NSPS were promulgated for this source category at 40 CFR
part 60, subpart CC.
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 document required under 5 CFR 1320.8(d), soliciting
comments on this collection of information was published on October 29,
2001. Comments were not received.
Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 7
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 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 manufacturing plants.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 45.
Frequency of Response: Initial, semiannual, and on occasion.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 590.
Estimated Total Annualized Capital, O&M Cost Burden: $261,000.
Send comments on the Agency's need for this information, the
accuracy of the provided burden estimates, and any suggested methods
for minimizing respondent burden, including through the use of
automated collection techniques to the addresses listed above. Please
refer to EPA ICR Number 1131.07 and OMB Control Number 2060-0054 in any
correspondence.
Dated: October 24, 2002.

Acting Director, Collection Strategies Division.
