the criteria and procedures for 

determining whether or not they do 

conform. Conformity to a State 

Implementation Plan (SIP) means that 

transportation activities will not 

produce new air quality violations, 

worsen existing violations, or delay 

timely attainment of the national 

ambient air quality standards. 

The criteria by which we determine 

whether a SIP’s MVEBs are adequate for 

transportation conformity purposes are 

outlined in 40 CFR 93.118(e)(4). We 

have described our process for 

determining the adequacy of submitted 

SIP budgets in our July 1, 2004, 

preamble starting at 69 FR 40038, and 

we used the information in these 

resources while making our adequacy 

determination. Please note that an 

adequacy review is separate from EPA’s 

completeness review, and it also should 

not be used to prejudge EPA’s ultimate 

approval of the SIP. Even if we find a 

budget adequate, the SIP could later be 

disapproved. 

The finding and the response to 

comments are available at EPA’s 

transportation conformity Web site:

Title: NESHAP for Mineral Wool 

Production (Renewal). 

ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 

1799.05, OMB Control Number 2060– 

0362. 

ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to 

expire on June 30, 2010. 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 National Emission 

Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants 

(NESHAP) for Mineral Wool Production 

(40 CFR part 63, subpart DDD) were 

proposed on May 8, 1997, and 

promulgated on June 1, 1999. 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 subject to NESHAP 

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. 

Owners/operators of affected mineral 

wool production facility must submit 

initial notifications (where applicable), 

performance test and periodic reports. 

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. Semiannual reports are also 

required. These notifications, reports, 

mstockstill on DSKH9S0YB1PROD with NOTICES

24946 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 87 / Thursday, May 6, 2010 / Notices 

and records are essential in determining 

compliance; and are required, in 

general, of all sources subject to 

NESHAP. 

Any owner or operator subject to the 

provisions of this part shall maintain a 

file of these measurements, and retain 

the records for at least five years 

following the date of such 

measurements and records. These 

notifications, reports, and records are 

essential in determining compliance; 

and are required, in general, of all 

sources subject to NESHAP. 

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 63, subpart DDD, 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 

Number for EPA regulations listed in 40 

CFR part 9 and 48 CFR chapter 15, are 

identified on the form and/or 

instrument, if applicable. 

Burden Statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information, estimated 

to average 132 hours per response. 

Burden means the total time, effort, or 

financial resources expended by persons 

to generate, maintain, retain, or disclose, 

and 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. All existing 

ways will have to adjust to comply with 

any previously applicable instructions 

and requirements that 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: 

Mineral wool production. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 6. 

Frequency of Response: Initially, and 

semiannually. 

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 

1,581. 

Estimated Total Annual Cost: 

$153,169, which includes $148,669 in 

labor costs, no capital/startup costs, and 

$4,500 in operation and maintenance 

(O&M) costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is a 

change in this ICR as compared to the 

previous one. Based on our discussions 

with the mineral wool production 

industry representative, the decrease is 

due to the closures of a number of 

facilities that the industry has been 

experiencing. There is no growth 

anticipated in the mineral wool 

production industry over the next three 

years. 

There is a decrease in the capital/ 

startup and operations and maintenance 

(O&M) costs from the previous ICR, 

which is also due to the decrease in the 

number of mineral wool production 

facilities.
