# SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

                    EPA has submitted the following ICR to OMB for review and approval according to the procedures prescribed in 5 CFR 1320.12. On May 25, 2004, (69                     *FR*                     29718), EPA sought comments on this ICR pursuant to 5 CFR 1320.8(d). EPA received no comments.                 

                    EPA has established a public docket for this ICR under Docket ID No. OECA-2004-0013, which is available for public viewing at the Enforcement and Compliance Docket and Information Center in the EPA Docket Center (EPA/DC), EPA West, Room B102, 1301 Constitution Avenue, NW., Washington, DC. The EPA Docket Center Public Reading Room is open from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding legal holidays. The telephone number for the Reading Room is (202) 566-1744, and the telephone number for the Enforcement and Compliance Docket and Information Center Docket is: (202) 566-1752. An electronic version of the public docket is available through EPA Dockets (EDOCKET) at                     *http://www.epa.gov/​edocket.*                     Use EDOCKET to submit or view public comments, access the index listing of the contents of the public docket, and to access those documents in the public docket that are available electronically.

                    Any comments related to this ICR should be submitted to EPA and OMB within 30 days of this notice. EPA's policy is that public comments, whether submitted electronically or in paper, will be made available for public viewing in EDOCKET as EPA receives them and without change, unless the comment contains copyrighted material, Confidential Business Information (CBI), or other information whose public disclosure is restricted by statute.

*Title:*                     NSPS for Asphalt Processing and Roofing Manufacture (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart UU) (Renewal).                 

*Abstract:*                     Particulate matter emissions from asphalt processing and roofing manufacture cause or contribute to air pollution that may reasonably be anticipated to endanger public health or welfare. Therefore, New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) were promulgated for this source category.                 

The control of emissions of particulate matter from asphalt processing and roofing manufacture requires not only the installation of properly designed equipment, but also the operation and maintenance of that equipment. Emissions of particulate matter from asphalt processing and roofing manufacture are the result of materials handling, fuel combustion, and storage. These standards rely on the capture of particulate matter emissions by pollution control devices such as electrostatic precipitators, high velocity air filters, or afterburners. 

In order to ensure compliance with these standards, adequate reporting and recordkeeping is necessary. In the absence of such information, enforcement personnel would be unable to determine whether the standards are being met on a continuous basis, as required by the Clean Air Act. 

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. Notifications are used to inform the Agency or delegated authority when a source becomes subject to the standard. The reviewing authority may then inspect the source to check if the pollution control devices are properly installed and operated. Performance test reports are needed as these are the Agency's record of a source's initial capability to comply with the emission standard and note the operating conditions under which compliance was achieved. 

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, 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 58.6 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.                 

*Respondents/Affected Entities:*                     Asphalt Processing and Roofing Manufacture.                 

*Estimated Number of Respondents:*                     169.                 

*Frequency of Response:*                     Initially.                 

*Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:*                     30,419 hours.                 

*Estimated Total Annual Costs:*                     $7,985,874, which includes $200,000 annualized capital/startup costs, $5,845,000 annual O&M costs, and $1,940,874 annual labor costs.                 

*Changes in the Estimates:*                     There is an increase of 15,330 hours in the total estimated burden currently identified in                           ( print page 67578)                        the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR Burdens. This increase is due to a correction in the estimated number of existing affected sources.
