*Title:*                     NSPS for Rubber Tire Manufacturing (Renewal).                

*ICR Numbers:*                     EPA ICR Number 1158.10, OMB Control Number 2060-0156.                

*ICR Status:*                     This ICR is scheduled to expire on January 31, 2011. 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 Rubber Tire Manufacturing (40 CFR part 60, subpart BBB) were proposed on January 20, 1983, and promulgated on September 15, 1987. Minor revisions to the standards of performance for the rubber tire manufacturing industry were proposed on February 14, 1989, and promulgated on September 19, 1989.                

The affected facilities include: Each undertread cementing operations, sidewall cementing operations, tread end cementing operations, bead cementing operations, green tire spraying operations, Michelin-A operations, Michelin-B operations, and Michelin-C automatic operations, that commencing construction, modification or reconstruction after January 20, 1983. The rule established standards for volatile organic compounds (VOCs) use and emission limits.

In general, all NSPS standards require initial notifications, performance tests, and periodic reports. This standard required performance test of Method 25 and an annual report of Method 23 results to verify VOC content of water-based sprays. 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. Monitoring requirements specific to rubber tire manufacturing plants provide information on the operation of the emissions control device and compliance with the VOCs standards. Semiannual reports of excess emissions are required. These notifications, reports, and records are essential in determining compliance, and are required of all sources subject to NSPS.

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 BBB, as authorized in sections 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 Numbers for EPA regulations are list 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 are estimated to average 166 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 purpose of collecting, validating, and verifying information, processing and maintaining, information, and disclosing and providing information. All existing ways will have to adjust to comply with any previously applicable instructions and requirements that have subsequently changed; train personnel                           ( print page 77869)                        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:*                     Rubber tire manufacturing.                

*Estimated Number of Respondents:*                     41.                

*Frequency of Response:*                     Initially, annually, and semiannually.                

*Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:*                     13,323.                

*Estimated Total Annual Cost:*                     $1,266,476, which includes $1,250,076 in labor costs, no capital/startup costs, and $16,400 in operation and maintenance (O&M) costs.                

*Changes in the Estimates:*                     There is no increase in the number of affected facilities, labor hours, or the number of responses compared to the previous ICR.                

There is however, an increase in the estimated labor burden cost as currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved Burdens. This increase is not due to any program change. The change in the labor burden cost estimates has occurred because we updated the labor rates, which resulted in an increase in labor costs. There is also an increase of $400.00 to the operation and maintenance (O&M) costs.
