SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Title: ICR for NESHAP/MACT Subpart

DDD, National Emission Standards for

Hazardous Air Pollutants—Mineral

Wool Production, OMB Control Number

2060–0362, EPA ICR No. 1799.02. This

is a request for extension of a currently

approved collection.

Abstract: The Administrator has

judged that Particulate Matter (PM) and

Hazardous Air Pollutants (HAP)

emissions from mineral wool

production plants cause or contribute to

air pollution that may reasonably be

anticipated to endanger public health or

welfare. Owners/operators of mineral

wool production plants subject to

NESHAP/MACT Subpart DDD must

provide notifications to EPA of

construction, modification, startups,

shut downs, date and results of initial

performance tests and provide

semiannual reports of excess emissions.

Owners/operators of mineral wool

production plants are required to install

fabric filter bag leak detection systems

and then initiate corrective action

procedures in the event of an operating

problem. Owners/operators of mineral

wool production plants subject to

NESHAP/MACT Subpart DDD must also

continuously monitor and record, (1)

The operating temperature of each

thermal incinerator, (2) cupola

production (melt) rate, and (3) for each

curing oven, the formaldehyde content

of each binder formulation used to

manufacture bonded products. In order

to ensure compliance with the standards

promulgated to protect public health,

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.

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. The Federal Register document

required under 5 CFR 1320.8(d),

soliciting comments on this collection

of information was published 3/31/00

(65 FR 17258); no comments were

received.

Burden Statement: The annual public

reporting and recordkeeping burden for

this collection of information is

estimated to average 222 hours per

response. The initial burden regarding

notifications (40 CFR 63.9) and

performance testing (40 CFR 63.7) for a

new source subject to this subpart is

estimated to average 615 hours. 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: Wool

Fiberglass Manufacturing Plants.

Estimated Number of Respondents:

13.

Frequency of Response: Initial and

semiannual.

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:

5,779 hours.

Estimated Total Annualized Capital

and Operating & Maintenance Cost

Burden: $100,226.

Send comments on the Agency’s need

for this information, the accuracy of the

provided burden estimates, and any

suggested methods for minimizing

respondent burden, including through

the use of automated collection

techniques to the following addresses.

Please refer to EPA ICR No.1799.02 and

OMB Control No. 2060–0362 in any

correspondence.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Title: Registration of Fuels and Fuel

Additives: Requirements for

Manufacturers (40 CFR 79), OMB

Control Number 2060–0150, EPA ICR

Number 0309.10, expiring 12/31/2000.

This is a request for an extension of a

currently approved collection.

Abstract: Motor vehicles are the major

source of air pollution in most urban

areas. The Clean Air Act provides the

authority to monitor and regulate motor

vehicle fuels, additives, and emissions

in order to protect public health.

Pursuant to the regulations at 40 CFR

79, manufacturers of gasolines, diesel

fuels, and additives for those fuels, are

required to have their products

registered by the EPA prior to their

introduction into commerce. This

mandatory collection involves

providing certain compositional,

emissions, and health-related

information. A manufacturer may not

sell its fuel or additive until it has been

registered. The EPA uses this

information to identify fuels and

additives whose emissions may pose a

health risk and as a basis for regulatory

action. Most of the compositional

information is confidential due to the

competitive nature of the fuel and

additive industries.

Registration involves providing (1) a

chemical description of the fuel or

additive, (2) certain technical and

marketing information, and (3) any

health-effects information in company

files. (The portion of this registration

regulation requiring the development of

health-effects data is covered by a

separate information collection; OMB

Control Number 2060–0297, EPA ICR

Number 1696.03) Manufacturers are also

required to submit periodic reports on

production and related 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 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. The Federal Register document

required under 5 CFR 1320.8(d),

soliciting comments on this collection

of information was published on 7–11–

00, 65 FR 42689. No comments were

received.

Burden Statement: The annual public

reporting and record keeping burden for

this collection of information is

estimated to average 2 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:

Manufacturers of gasolines, diesel fuels,

and fuel additives.

Estimated Number of Respondents:

780.

Frequency of Response: On occasion,

quarterly, annually.

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:

18,500 hours.

Estimated Total Annualized Capital,

O&M Cost Burden: $27,600.

Send comments on the Agency’s need

for this information, the accuracy of the

provided burden estimates, and any

suggested methods for minimizing

respondent burden, including through

the use of automated collection

techniques to the addresses listed above.
