*Title:*                     NSPS for Hot Mix Asphalt Facilities (Renewal).                

*ICR Numbers:*                     EPA ICR Number 1127.10, OMB Control Number 2060-0083.                

*ICR Status:*                     This ICR is scheduled to expire on April 30, 2012. Under OMB regulations, the Agency may continue to conduct or sponsor the collection of information, while submission is pending at OMB.                

*Abstract:*                     The affected entities are subject to the General Provisions of the NSPS at 40 CFR part 60, subpart A, and any changes, or additions to the Provisions specified at 40 CFR part 60, subpart I.                

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.

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 I, as authorized in section 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 Number for the EPA 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                           ( print page 16834)                        estimated to average 4 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 hot mix asphalt facilities.                

*Estimated Number of Respondents:*                     4,325.                

*Frequency of Response:*                     Initially, and occasionally.                

*Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:*                     18,284.                

*Estimated Total Annual Cost:*                     $1,751,943, which includes $1,751,943 in labor costs, no capital/startup costs, and no operation and maintenance (O&M) costs.                

*Changes in the Estimates:*                     There is an increase in burden hours to the respondent in this ICR as compared to the most recently approved ICR. The increase is due to industry growth in the past three years, resulting in additional number of respondents that are subject to this standard. In addition, there is an increase in burden costs to both the respondent and the Agency due to an adjustment in labor rates. This ICR uses the most recent labor rates from the Bureau of Labor Statistics in calculating the labor costs.
