SUPPORTING STATEMENT

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

NESHAP for Asphalt Processing and Asphalt Roofing Manufacturing (40 CFR Part 63, 

Subpart LLLLL) (Renewal)

1. Identification of the Information Collection

1(a) Title of the Information Collection

NESHAP for Asphalt Processing and Asphalt Roofing Manufacturing (40 CFR Part 63, 

Subpart LLLLL) (Renewal), EPA ICR Number 2029.06, OMB Control Number 2060-0520. 

1(b) Short Characterization/Abstract

The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Asphalt 

Processing and Asphalt Roofing Manufacturing were proposed on November 21, 2001 (66 FR

58609), promulgated on May 7, 2003 (68 FR 24561), and amended on May 17, 2005 (70 FR

28360). These regulations apply to existing facilities and new facilities that manufacture asphalt 

roofing products or oxidized asphalt that are major sources of hazardous air pollutants (HAPs), 

or are collocated at major sources. New facilities include those that commenced construction or 

reconstruction after the date of proposal. This information is being collected to assure 

compliance with 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart LLLLL.

In general, all NESHAP standards require initial notifications, performance tests, and 

periodic reports by the owners/operators of the affected facilities. They 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. These notifications, reports, and records are essential in determining compliance, 

and are required of all affected facilities subject to NESHAP. 

Any owner/operator subject to the provisions of this part shall maintain a file of these 

measurements, and retain the file for at least five 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 U.S.

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regional office.

The “Affected Public” are owners and operators of either major source asphalt processing 

or asphalt roofing manufacturing facilities. All these facilities are privately-owned, for-profit 

businesses. None of these facilities in the United States are owned by either state, or local, or 

tribal entities or by the Federal government. The “burden” to the Affected Public may be found 

below in Table 1: Annual Respondent Burden and Cost – NESHAP for Asphalt Processing and 

Asphalt Roofing Manufacturing (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart LLLLL) (Renewal). The “burden” to 

the Federal Government is attributed entirely to work performed by either Federal employees or 

government contractors, and may be found below in Table 2: Average Annual EPA Burden and 

Cost – NESHAP for Asphalt Processing and Asphalt Roofing Manufacturing (40 CFR Part 63, 

Subpart LLLLL) (Renewal). 
2

Over the next three years, approximately 27 major source facilities will be subject to 

these standards, and no additional facility per year will become subject to these same standards. 

We estimate that approximately 9 of these facilities are petroleum refineries that process asphalt. 

In addition, we assume there is no industry growth based on consultation with industry trade 

associations. 

The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) approved the currently active ICR 

without any “Terms of Clearance”.

2. Need for and Use of the Collection

2(a) Need/Authority for the Collection

The EPA is charged under Section 112 of the Clean Air Act, as amended, to establish 

standards of performance for each category or subcategory of major sources and area sources of 

hazardous air pollutants. These standards are applicable to new or existing sources of hazardous 

air pollutants and shall require the maximum degree of emission reduction. In addition, section 

114(a) states that the Administrator may require any owner/operator subject to any requirement 

of this Act to: 

(A) Establish and maintain such records; (B) make such reports; 

(C) install, use, and maintain such monitoring equipment, and use 

such audit procedures, or methods; (D) sample such emissions (in 

accordance with such procedures or methods, at such locations, at 

such intervals, during such periods, and in such manner as the 

Administrator shall prescribe); (E) keep records on control 

equipment parameters, production variables or other indirect data 

when direct monitoring of emissions is impractical; (F) submit 

compliance certifications in accordance with Section 114(a)(3); 

and (G) provide such other information as the Administrator may

reasonably require.

In the Administrator's judgment, HAP emissions from facilities that manufacture asphalt 

roofing products or oxidized asphalt either cause or contribute to air pollution that may

reasonably be anticipated to endanger public health and/or welfare. Therefore, the NESHAP 

were promulgated for this source category at 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart LLLLL.

2(b) Practical Utility/Users of the Data

The recordkeeping and reporting requirements in the standard ensure compliance with 

the applicable regulations which were promulgated in accordance with the Clean Air Act. The 

collected information is also used for targeting inspections and as evidence in legal proceedings.

Performance tests are required in order to determine an affected facility’s initial 

capability to comply with the emission standard. Continuous emission monitors are used to 
3

ensure compliance with the standard at all times. During the performance test a record of the 

operating parameters under which compliance was achieved may be recorded and used to 

determine compliance in place of a continuous emission monitor. 

The notifications required in these standards are used to inform the Agency or delegated 

authority when a source becomes subject to the requirements of the regulations. The reviewing 

authority may then inspect the source to check if the pollution control devices are properly 

installed and operated, leaks are being detected and repaired, and the standard is being met. 

The performance test may also be observed.

The required semiannual reports are used to determine periods of excess emissions, 

identify problems at the facility, verify operation/maintenance procedures and for compliance 

determinations.

3. Non-duplication, Consultations, and Other Collection Criteria

The requested recordkeeping and reporting are required under 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart

LLLLL.

3(a) Non-duplication

If the subject standards have not been delegated, the information is sent directly to the 

appropriate EPA regional office. Otherwise, the information is sent directly to the delegated 

state or local agency. If a state or local agency has adopted its own similar standards to 

implement the Federal standards, a copy of the report submitted to the state or local agency can 

be sent to the Administrator in lieu of the report required by the Federal standards. Therefore, 

duplication does not exist.

3(b) Public Notice Required Prior to ICR Submission to OMB

An announcement of a public comment period for the renewal of this ICR was published 

in the Federal Register (79 FR 30117) on May 27, 2014. One comment was received on the 

burden published in the Federal Register. However, the comment did not contain substantive 

information on the burden estimates presented in this ICR. 

3(c) Consultations

The Agency has consulted industry experts and internal data sources to project the 

number of affected facilities and industry growth over the next three years. The primary source 

of information as reported by industry, in compliance with the recordkeeping and reporting 

provisions in the standard, is the Integrated Compliance Information System (ICIS). ICIS is 

EPA’s database for the collection, maintenance, and retrieval of compliance data for industrial 

and government-owned facilities. The growth rate for the industry is based on our consultations 

with the Agency’s internal industry experts. 
4

Industry trade associations and other interested parties were provided an opportunity to 

comment on the burden associated with the standard as it was being developed and the standard 

has been previously reviewed to determine the minimum information needed for compliance 

purposes. In developing this ICR, we contacted the Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association 

(ARMA), at (202) 207-1107, and the Asphalt Institute, at (859) 288-4976. Our industry contacts 

confirmed that there has been no growth in the number of major source facilities, and that no 

new facilities are expected in the next three years. In addition, ARMA provided additional 

estimates for ongoing O&M cost, which have been incorporated into this ICR renewal. 

It is our policy to respond after a thorough review of comments received since the last 

ICR renewal, as well as to those submitted in response to the first Federal Register notice. 

3(d) Effects of Less Frequent Collection

Less frequent information collection would decrease the margin of assurance that 

facilities are continuing to meet the standards. Requirements for information gathering and 

recordkeeping are useful techniques to ensure that good operation and maintenance practices are 

applied and emission limitations are met. If the information required by these standards was 

collected less frequently, the proper operation and maintenance of control equipment and the 

possibility of detecting violations would be less likely.

3(e) General Guidelines

These reporting or recordkeeping requirements do not violate any of the regulations 

promulgated by OMB under 5 CFR Part 1320, Section 1320.5.

These standards require the respondents to maintain all records, including reports and 

notifications for at least five years. This is consistent with the General Provisions as applied to 

the standards. EPA believes that the five-year records retention requirement is consistent with 

the Part 70 permit program and the five-year statute of limitations on which the permit program 

is based. The retention of records for five years allows EPA to establish the compliance history

of a source, any pattern of non-compliance and to determine the appropriate level of enforcement 

action. EPA has found that the most flagrant violators have violations extending beyond five 

years. In addition, EPA would be prevented from pursuing the violators due to the destruction or 

nonexistence of essential records.

3(f) Confidentiality

Any information submitted to the Agency for which a claim of confidentiality is made 

will be safeguarded according to the Agency policies set forth in Title 40, chapter 1, part 2, 

subpart B - Confidentiality of Business Information (CBI) (see 40 CFR 2; 41 FR 36902, 

September 1, 1976; amended by 43 FR 40000, September 8, 1978; 43 FR 42251, September 20, 

1978; 44 FR 17674, March 23, 1979).

5. The Information Collected: Agency Activities, Collection Methodology, and 

Information Management

5(a) Agency Activities 

EPA conducts the following activities in connection with the acquisition, analysis, 

storage, and distribution of the required information:

Agency Activities

Review notifications and reports, including performance test reports, and excess emissions 

reports, required to be submitted by industry.
8

Agency Activities

Audit facility records.

Input, analyze, and maintain data in the Enforcement and Compliance History Online (ECHO) 

and ICIS. 

5(b) Collection Methodology and Management

Following notification of startup, the reviewing authority could inspect the source to 

determine whether 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 (note the operating conditions under which compliance was 

achieved). Data and records maintained by the respondents are tabulated and published for 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.

Information contained in the reports is reported by state and local governments in the 

ICIS Air database, which is operated and maintained by EPA's Office of Compliance. ICIS is 

EPA’s database for the collection, maintenance, and retrieval of compliance data for industrial 

and government-owned facilities. EPA uses ICIS for tracking air pollution compliance and 

enforcement by local and state regulatory agencies, EPA regional offices and EPA headquarters. 

EPA and its delegated Authorities can edit, store, retrieve and analyze the data.

The records required by this regulation must be retained by the owner/operator for five 

years.

5(c) Small Entity Flexibility

Over 65 percent of the existing facilities subject to this NESHAP are classified as small 

businesses according to the Small Business Administration (SBA) size standards and NAICS 

code (a business with 100 to 500 employees or $5 million or less in annual sales). The impact on 

small entities (i.e., small businesses) was taken into consideration during the development of the 

regulation. Due to technical considerations involving the process operations and the types of 

control equipment employed, the recordkeeping and reporting requirements are the same for both 

small and large entities. The Agency considers these to be the minimum requirements needed to 

ensure compliance and, therefore, cannot reduce them further for small entities. To the extent 

that larger businesses can use economies of scale to reduce their burden, the overall burden will 

be reduced.

5(d) Collection Schedule

The specific frequency for each information collection activity within this request is 

shown below in Table 1: Annual Respondent Burden and Cost – NESHAP for Asphalt 
9

Processing and Asphalt Roofing Manufacturing (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart LLLLL) (Renewal).

6. Estimating the Burden and Cost of the Collection

Table 1 documents the computation of individual burdens for the recordkeeping and 

reporting requirements applicable to the industry for the subpart included in this ICR. The 

individual burdens are expressed under standardized headings believed to be consistent with 

the concept of burden under the Paperwork Reduction Act. Where appropriate, specific tasks 

and major assumptions have been identified. Responses to this information collection are 

mandatory.

The 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.

6(a) Estimating Respondent Burden

The average annual burden to industry over the next three years from these recordkeeping 

and reporting requirements is estimated to be 13,400 hours (Total Labor Hours from Table 1

below). These hours are based on Agency studies and background documents from the 

development of the regulation, Agency knowledge and experience with the NESHAP program, 

the previously approved ICR, and any comments received.

6(b) Estimating Respondent Costs

(i) Estimating Labor Costs

This ICR uses the following labor rates: 

Managerial $129.93 ($61.87+ 110%) 

Technical $103.97 ($49.51 + 110%)

Clerical $51.79 ($24.66 + 110%)

These rates are from the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, June 

2014, “Table 2. Civilian Workers, by occupational and industry group.” The rates are from 

column 1, “Total compensation.” The rates have been increased by 110 percent to account for 

the benefit packages available to those employed by private industry.

(ii) Estimating Capital/Startup and Operation and Maintenance Costs

The type of industry costs associated with the information collection activities in the 

subject standard are both labor costs which are addressed elsewhere in this ICR and the costs 

associated with continuous monitoring. The capital/startup costs are one-time costs when a 

facility becomes subject to the regulation. The annual operation and maintenance costs are the 

ongoing costs to maintain the monitor(s) and other costs such as photocopying and postage.

Note: Totals have been rounded to 3 significant figures. Figures may not add exactly due to rounding.

NA – not applicable; EPA assumes that all facilities subject to the standard have or will obtain add-on control 

devices that are already equipped with continuous parameter monitoring equipment. This monitoring equipment is 

required not only for compliance purposes but also to operate the control equipment. 

1 The estimated contractor cost for initial performance tests of a PM control device using EPA Method 5A is $7,000. 

The ongoing cost for replacement filters and data collection system maintenance is $5,000. 

2 The estimated contractor cost for initial performance tests of a thermal oxidizer, using EPA Method 25A. 

3 The photocopying and postage cost is $7.50 per report, for a total of 54 reports per year. 

The total capital/startup costs for this ICR are $0. This is the total of column D in the 

above table. 

The total operation and maintenance (O&M) costs for this ICR are $135,000. This is the 

total of column G. 

The average annual cost for capital/startup and operation and maintenance costs to 

industry over the next three years of the ICR is estimated to be $135,000. These are the costs of 

recordkeeping. 

6(c) Estimating Agency Burden and Cost

The only costs to the Agency are those costs associated with analysis of the reported 

information. EPA's overall compliance and enforcement program includes activities such as the 

examination of records maintained by the respondents, periodic inspection of sources of 

emissions, and the publication and distribution of collected information. 

The average annual Agency cost during the three years of the ICR is estimated to be 

$22,600. 

This cost is based on the average hourly labor rate as follows:

Managerial $62.90 (GS-13, Step 5, $39.31 + 60%) 
11

Technical $46.67 (GS-12, Step 1, $29.17 + 60%)

Clerical $25.25 (GS-6, Step 3, $15.78 + 60%)

These rates are from the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), 2014 General Schedule,

which excludes locality rates of pay. The rates have been increased by 60 percent to account for 

the benefit packages available to government employees. Details upon which this estimate is 

based appear below in Table 2: Average Annual EPA Burden and Cost – NESHAP for Asphalt 

Processing and Asphalt Roofing Manufacturing (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart LLLLL) (Renewal). 

6(d) Estimating the Respondent Universe and Total Burden and Costs

Based on our research for this ICR, on average over the next three years, approximately

27 existing respondents will be subject to the standard. It is estimated that no additional 

respondents per year will become subject. The overall average number of respondents, as shown 

in the table below, is 27 per year. 

The number of respondents is calculated using the following table that addresses the three 

years covered by this ICR:

The number of Total Annual Responses is 54. 

The total annual labor costs are $1,340,000. Details regarding these estimates may be 

found below in Table 1: Annual Respondent Burden and Cost – NESHAP for Asphalt Processing 

and Asphalt Roofing Manufacturing (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart LLLLL) (Renewal).

6(e) Bottom Line Burden Hours and Cost Tables

The detailed bottom line burden hours and cost calculations for the respondents and the 

Agency are shown in Tables 1 and 2, respectively, and summarized below. 

(i) Respondent Tally

The total annual labor hours are 13,400 hours at a cost of $1,340,000. Details regarding 

these estimates may be found below in Table 1: Annual Respondent Burden and Cost –

NESHAP for Asphalt Processing and Asphalt Roofing Manufacturing (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart 

LLLLL) (Renewal). 

We assume that burdens for managerial tasks take 5% of the time required for technical 

tasks because the typical tasks for managers are to review and approve reports. Clerical burdens 

are assumed to take 10% of the time required for technical tasks because the typical duties of 

clerical staff are to proofread the reports, make copies and maintain records.

Furthermore, the annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of 

information is estimated to average 248 hours per response.

The total annual capital/startup and O&M costs to the regulated entity are $135,000. The 

cost calculations are detailed in Section 6(b)(iii), Capital/Startup vs. Operation and Maintenance 
13

(O&M) Costs.

(ii) The Agency Tally

The average annual Agency burden and cost over next three years is estimated to be 497 

labor hours at a cost of $22,600. See below Table 2: Average Annual EPA Burden and Cost –

NESHAP for Asphalt Processing and Asphalt Roofing Manufacturing (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart 

LLLLL) (Renewal).

We assume that burdens for managerial tasks take 5% of the time required for technical 

tasks because the typical tasks for managers are to review and approve reports. Clerical burdens 

are assumed to take 10% of the time required for technical tasks because the typical duties of 

clerical staff are to proofread the reports, make copies and maintain records.

6(f) Reasons for Change in Burden

There is an adjustment decrease in labor hours and number of responses as currently 

identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved Burdens. This decrease is not due to any program 

changes. The estimates decreased because we do not expect additional sources to become 

subject to these standards during the next three years. However, the O&M cost increased because 

we have updated the ongoing maintenance cost to maintain PM control devices. The information 

was obtained from consultation with trade associations and internal EPA experts during the 

renewal of this ICR. 

6(g) Burden Statement

The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information 

is estimated to average 248 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.

An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a 

collection of information unless it displays a valid OMB Control Number. The OMB Control 

Numbers for EPA regulations are listed at 40 CFR Part 9 and 48 CFR Chapter 15.

To comment on the Agency's need for this information, the accuracy of the provided

Assumptions:

a

 There is an average of 27 respondents per year over the next three years of this ICR. In addition, we have assumed that no new facility per year will become subject 

to this regulation. 

b

 This ICR uses the following labor rates: $129.93 per hour for Executive, Administrative, and Managerial labor; $103.97 per hour for Technical labor, and $51.79 per 

hour for Clerical labor. These rates are from the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, June 2014, “Table 2. Civilian Workers, by 

Occupational and Industry group.” The rates are from “column 1, Total Compensation. “ The rates have been increased by 110% to account for the benefit packages 

available to those employed by private industry.
17

c

 We have assumed that existing respondents are in compliance with initial rule requirements. New respondents would have to comply with the initial rule

requirements including notifications and performance tests for add-on control devices.

d We have assumed that the initial performance tests and reports are conducted by an emissions testing contractor, however, facility personnel will also work on-site to 

assist the contractor.

e Monitoring and recordkeeping of operations for respondents with add-on control devices include: 1) specific operating parameters for each control device established 

during the performance test, 2) start-up, shutdown, and malfunctions of equipment, and 3) work practices.

f

 We have assumed that one respondent with add-on controls per year will have at least one startup, shutdown or malfunction (SSM) that is not managed according 

to the SSM plan.

g We have assumed that new respondents already have the technology and recordkeeping systems in place to monitor its daily operations and to comply with existing 

regulations. 

h

 We have assumed that it takes respondents the following approximate times to meet recordkeeping requirements: 1) one hour per day for recording operating 

parameters, 365 days per year; 2) four hours per year to calibrate and provide maintenance to continuous parameter monitors five times per year; and 3) and 16 hours 

per year to train new employees on add-on control devices, continuous parameter monitoring technology and requirements, and review and implementation of startup, 

shutdown, and malfunction plans.

Assumptions:

a There is an average of 27 respondents per year over the next three years of this ICR. In addition, we have assumed that no new facility per year will become 

subject to this regulation. 

b This cost is based on the following labor rates which incorporates a 1.6 benefits multiplication factor to account for government overhead expenses: 

Managerial rate of $62.90 (GS-13, Step 5), Technical rate of $46.67 (GS-12, Step 1), and Clerical rate of $25.25 (GS-6, Step 3). These rates are from the Office 

of Personnel Management (OPM) 2014 General Schedule which excludes locality rates of pay. 
19

c We have assumed that existing sources have comply with the initial rule requirements. New respondents are required to conduct performance test for add-on 

control equipment, submit initial notifications and prepare startup, shutdown and malfunction (SSM) plans. 

d

 Sources are required to submit semiannual compliance reports and startup, shutdown and malfunction (SSM) reports if there is an occurrence that is not 

managed according to the SSM plan.

e

 Totals have been rounded to 3 significant figures. Figures may not add exactly due to rounding.
