Title: NESHAP for Asphalt Processing and Asphalt Roofing Manufacturing (Renewal) ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 2029.05, OMB Control Number 2060–

0520.

ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on August 31, 2012. Under OMB regulations, the Agency may continue to either conduct or sponsor the collection
of information while this submission is pending at OMB.

Abstract: The affected entities are subject to the General Provisions of the NESHAP at 40 CFR part 63, subpart A, and any changes, or additions to the Provisions specified at 40 CFR part 63, subpart LLLLL.

Owners or operators of the affected
facilities must submit initial notification, performance tests, and periodic reports and results. 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. Reports are required semiannually at a minimum.

Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for
this collection of information is estimated to average 225 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: Owners or operators of asphalt processing and asphalt roofing manufacturing facilities.

Estimated Number of Respondents:

27.

Frequency of Response: Initially, occasionally, and semiannually.

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:

13,497.

Estimated Total Annual Cost: $1,318,753, which includes $1,293,301 in labor costs, no capital/startup costs, and $25,452 in operation and maintenance (O&M) costs.

Changes in the Estimates: There is an
increase in costs for both the respondents and the Agency from the most recently approved ICR. The
increase in burden cost is due to an
increase in the number of new or modified sources and adjustments in labor rates. This ICR uses updated labor
rates from the Bureau of Labor Statistics
to calculate burden costs.

There is an increase of 1,480 hours in labor hours for the respondents, as well
as an increase of 55 hours in labor hours for the Agency, due to the increase in the number of sources that are subject to the standard. There may also be some apparent differences that are attributable to rounding; this ICR presents more exact figures. There is no change in the estimation methodology in this ICR compared to the previous ICR.

There is also an increase of $45.00 in O&M costs to the respondents in this ICR as compared to the previous ICR. This is attributed to the photocopying and postage costs for an increased number of total sources subject to the
standard.

Abstract: The aftermarket catalytic converter policy (AMCC Policy) (51 FR 28114–28119, 28113 (Aug. 5, 1986); 52 FR. 42144 (Nov. 3, 1987)) allows aftermarket automobile catalytic converter (AMCC) manufacturers and reconditioners to compete with the
automobile manufacturers for the AMCC replacement market. Without this policy, it would be illegal, under section 203 of the Clean Air Act, 42 U.S.C. 7522, to sell or install AMCCs that do not conform exactly to the automobile manufacturers’ original equipment (OE) versions of these parts. The AMCC Policy makes it possible for automobile repair shops, which are often small businesses, to take on a significant share of the AMCC replacement market. In doing so, consumers are able to purchase AMCCs at a much lower price than they would pay for an OE catalytic converter. This helps to ensure that
vehicles will not create excessive air pollution because motorists are more likely to replace damaged catalytic converters if they can be obtained at a cost that is significantly less than OE catalytic converters (cost savings resulting from the AMCC Policy are estimated to be about $716 million in 2007 dollars).

New AMCC manufacturers are required to report, on a one-time basis for each type or line of converter manufactured, the supplier identities, physical specifications of each AMCC line produced, and information regarding pre-production testing of the AMCCs that show they meet the AMCC Policy emission reduction standards for certain specified vehicle applications. The AMCC Policy requires new AMCC manufacturers to retain warranty and
sales records.

Reconditioners (sellers of used catalytic converters) must report, on a one-time basis, the identity of the company, a description of the test bench used for testing used catalytic converters, and the intended vehicle application(s) for each catalytic converter type. All used catalytic converters must be tested individually to ensure they are still functional. The current AMCC Policy also requires
reconditioners to retain sales and
customer records.

Installers of AMCCs have no reporting requirements. They must fill out a written warranty and give it to the customer, include a statement with each invoice stating the need for replacing the original converter, and tag each
removed converter with a reference to the invoice for repair, and retain the tagged catalytic converters for 15 days
and the invoices for six months.

The reporting and recordkeeping requirements for manufacturers of new
AMCCs and sellers of reconditioned catalytic converters help ensure that proper AMCCs are manufactured, tested and distributed to installers and help ensure proper retail level installation of AMCCs. The installer requirements
enable EPA to monitor whether correct
AMCCs are installed at the retail level and whether AMCCs are used only in appropriate circumstances. The information required to be maintained or reported is not otherwise available and is not covered under any other information request since it is unique to the AMCC Policy. The information collected is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the Agency, particularly enforcement.

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 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: Manufacturers, Reconditioners, and Installers of Aftermarket Catalytic

Converters.

Estimated Number of Respondents:

30,014.

Frequency of Response: On Occasion.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:

220,860.

Estimated Total Annual Cost: $7,896,947, including $777,112 annualized capital or O&M costs.

Changes in the Estimates: There is a
decrease of 68 hours in the total estimated burden currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR
Burdens. This decrease is due to the correction of two errors. First, we failed to account for the fact that new catalyst
manufacturers submit information on average every other year. Therefore, although the burden of submitting is two hours per respondent, the annual average is one hour per respondent.
This correction decreased the burden estimate by eight hours. Second, we corrected a multiplication error affecting
the burden hour calculation for installers, a decrease of 60 hours. The decrease reflects an adjustment in ICR estimates, not a program change.

II. Background

Section 4(i)(5) of FIFRA, as amended in October 1988 (Pub. L. 100–532), December 1991 (Pub. L. 102–237), and again in August 1996 (Pub. L. 104–170), requires that all pesticide registrants pay an annual registration maintenance fee, due by January 15 of each year, to keep their registrations in effect. This requirement applies to all registrations granted under FIFRA section 3 as well as those granted under FIFRA section 24(c) to meet special local needs. Registrations for which the fee is not paid are subject to cancellation by order and without a hearing.

The Food, Agriculture, Conservation, and Trade Act Amendments of 1991, Public Law 102–237, amended FIFRA to
allow the EPA Administrator to reduce
or waive maintenance fees for minor agricultural use pesticides when she determines that the fee would be likely to cause significant impact on the availability of the pesticide for the use. The Agency has waived the fee for 196 minor agricultural use registrations at the request of the registrants.

In fiscal year 2012, maintenance fees were collected in one billing cycle. The Pesticide Registration Improvement Renewal Act (PRIRA) was passed by Congress in October 2007. PRIRA authorized the Agency to collect $22
million dollars in maintenance fees in fiscal year 2012. In late 2011, all holders of either FIFRA section 3 registrations or FIFRA section 24(c) registrations were sent lists of their active registrations, along with forms and instructions for responding. They were asked to identify which of their registrations they wished to maintain in effect, and to calculate and remit the appropriate maintenance fees. Most responses were received by the statutory deadline of January 15. A
notice of intent to cancel was sent in February 2012, to companies who did not respond and to companies who responded, but paid for less than all of their registrations. Since mailing the notices of intent to cancel, EPA has maintained a toll-free inquiry number through which the questions of affected registrants have been answered.

Maintenance fees have been paid for about 15,420 FIFRA section 3 registrations, or about 96% of the registrations on file in December 2011. Fees have been paid for about 2,028 FIFRA section 24(c) registrations, or about 88% of the total on file in
December 2011. Cancellations for nonpayment of the maintenance fee affect about 182 FIFRA section 3 registrations and about 22 FIFRA section 24(c) registrations.

The cancellation orders generally permit registrants to continue to sell and distribute existing stocks of the canceled products until January 15, 2013, 1 year
after the date on which the fee was due. Existing stocks already in the hands of dealers or users, however, can generally be distributed, sold, or used legally until they are exhausted. Existing stocks are defined as those stocks of a registered pesticide product which are currently in
the United States and which have been packaged, labeled, and released for shipment prior to the effective date of
the cancellation order.

The exceptions to these general rules are cases where more stringent restrictions on sale, distribution, or use of the products have already been imposed, through special reviews or other Agency actions. These general provisions for disposition of stocks
should serve in most cases to cushion
