- formed Fiberglass Mat Production (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart HHHH ) (Renewal) , IC R 1964.05, OMB C ontrol Number 2060

- 0496. **1(b) Short Characterization/Abstract** The National Em ission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Wet

formed Fiberglass Mat Production (40 CFR part 63, subpart HHHH) were proposed on May 26, 2000 (65 FR 34251), and promulgated on April 11, 2002 (67 FR 17823). These standards appl y to new and e xisting component processes at industrial facilities that manufactured W et
- formed fiberglass mat , including : preparation of glass fibers, formation of fibers into a fiberglass mat, saturation with urea

- formaldehyde binder solution, curing and drying the bi nder

- coated fiberglass mat, cooling the mat, and trimming, cutting, and packaging. 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 s ys tem 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 deleg ated state or local authority

. In the event that there is no such delegated authority , the reports are sent directl y to the U

. S

. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regional office. Based on our consultations with ind ustry representatives, there is an average of one production line per facility

. Over the next three ye ars, an average of 14 respondents per ye ar will be subject to the standard , and no additional respondents per year will become subject to the standard. The active (previous) IC R had the following Terms of Clearance (TOC):

“ This I CR renewal is approved for three years. The Agency is reminded to review and update estimates of respondent universe and burden as appropriate pri or to resubmission of this I CR. ”2

EPA has addressed each item of concern in the TOC by consulting with industry on the respondent universe and burden, and b y updating the burden calculati on using the most recent labor rates. The “Affected Public” is owners and operators of wet

- formed fiberglass mat producti on. The burden to the “Affected Public” may be found below in Table 1; Annual Respondent Burden and Cost: NESHAP for Wet

- formed Fiberglass Mat Production (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart HHHH) (Renewal)

. The burden to the “Federal Government” burden is attributed entirel y to work performed b y federal employees or government contractor s ; this burden may be found below in Table 2: Average Annual EPA Burden and Cost: NESHAP for Wet

- formed Fiberglass Mat Production (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart HHHH) (Renewal)

. **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. Inaddition, 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 Admini strator may reasonabl y require. In the Administrator's judgment, hazardous air pollutant emissions from component processes at industrial facilities manufacturing wet

- formed fiberglass mat s cause or contribute to air pollution that may

reasonably

be anticipated to endanger public health or welfare. Therefore, the NESHAP were promulgated for this source category at 40 CFR part 63 , subpart HHHH

.
**2(b) Practical Utility/Users of the Data**3

The recordkeeping and reporting requirements in the standard ensure compliance with the applicable regulations which where 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 comp ly

with the em ission standard . Continuous emission monitors are used to 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 complianc e in place of a continuous emission monitor. The notifications required in the standard 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 properl y 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 compliance certifications 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 an d reporting are required under 40 CFR part 63, subpart HHHH

. **3(a) Non**
**- duplication**  If the subject standards have not been delegated, the information is sent directl y to the appropriate EPA regional office. Otherwise, the information is sent directl y 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 cop y of the report submitted to the state or local agency can be sent to the Administrator in lieu of the report required b y the Federal standards. Therefore, no duplication exists. **3(b) Public Notice Required Prior to ICR Submission to OMB** An announcement of a public comment period for the renewal of this I CR was published in the Federal Register ( 76 FR 2 6900 ) on May 9, 2011

. No comments were received on the burden published in the Federal Register

. **3(c) Consultations** The Agency ’s industry

experts have been consulted, and the Agency ’s internal data sources and projection of industry growth over the next three years have been considered. The primary source of information as reported b y industry , in compliance with the recordkeeping4

and reporting provisions in the standard, is the Online Tracking Information Sy stem (OTIS) which is operated and maintained by the EPA Office of Compliance. OTIS is the EPA database for the collection, maintenance, and retrieval of all compl iance data. The growth rate for the industry is based on our consultation with the Agency ’s internal industry experts. Industry trade associations and other interested parties were provided an opportunity to comment on the burden associated with the st andard as it was being developed. In developing this I CR, we contacted : 1) the Nonwoven Engineers and Technologist (NET) , a division of the Technical Association of the Pulp and Paper Industry (TAPPI) , at (828) 439

- 3226 ; 2) and GAF , at (972) 851

- 0408. It is our policy

to respond after a thorough review of comments received since the last ICR renewal as well as those submitted in response to the first Federal Register notice. In this case, no comments were received. **3(d) Effects of Less Frequent Collec tion**  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 frequentl y, 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 b y 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

- ye ar records retention requirement is consistent the Part 70 permit program and the five

- ye ar statut e of limitations on which the permit program is based. The retention of records for five ye ars allow s 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 ye ars. In addition, EPA would be prevented from pursuing the violators due to the destruction or nonexistence of essential records

. **3(f) Confidentiality** Any information submi tted 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 20,5

1978; 44 FR 17674, March 23, 1979). **3(g) Sensitive Questions** The reporting or recordkeeping requirements in the standard do not include sensitive questions. **4. The Respondents and the Information Requested 4(a) Respondents/SIC Codes**  The respondents to the recordkeeping and reporting requirements are owners or operators of wet

- formed fiberglass mat production, which provides the substrate for several roof ing products

. The Standard Industrial Classification (SI C) Code for wet

- formed fiberglass mat production is classified under SI C 3329325, a subset of SI C 3329, Pressed and Blown Glass, Not Elsewhere Classified, which corresponds to the North American Indu strial Classification System (NAICS) code 327212, Non

- woven Fabric Mills. **4(b) Information Requested (i) Data Items**  In this ICR , all the data that is recorded or reported is required b y NESHAP for Wet

formed Fiberglass Mat Production (40 CFR P art 63, S ubpart HHHH). A source must make the following reports: **Notifications** Initial notification requirements 63.9(b)(1) Notification of compliance status when a source becomes subject to the standard 63.9(h), 63.3000(b) Notification that source is subject to special compliance requirements, if applicable 63.9(d) Notification of performance test 63.7(b), 63.9(e) Rescheduled of performance test 63.7(b)(2) Demonstration of continuous monitoring sy stem 63.9(g) Change in information already provi ded 63.9(j) Request for an extension of compliance with relevant standard 63.9(c)

**Reports** Application for approval of the construction or reconstruction of 63.5(6)(d)6 **Reports** a new major affected source, or reconstruction of a major affected source Performance test results 63.10(d)(2), 63.3000(d) Startup, shutdown and malfunction plan 63.6(e)(3) Periodic startup, shutdown and malfunction reports 63.10(d)(5)(i), 63. 3000(e) Progress reports for compliance extension (if applicable) 63.6(i) Semiannual compliance reports 63.3000(b) A source must keep the following records: Recordkeeping Startup, shutdown and malfunction plan 63.6(e)(3) All reports and notifications 63.10(b)(1) Records of startup, shutdown, and malfunction of process equipment 63.10(b)(2)(i), (iv

- v ) Records of malfunctions of air pollution control equipment 63.10(b)(2)(ii) Any applicability

determination that demonstrates why owner or operator believes source is unaffected 63.10(b)(3) Records of maintenance of air pollution control equipment 63.10(b)(2)(iii) Records of flow monitoring s ys tem performance evaluations, malfunctions, calibrations, and adjustments 63.10(b)(2)(vi

- xi) , 63.10(c) Documentation required for waiver of recordkeeping or reporting requirements (if applicable) 63.10(b)(2)(xii) Documentation of initial notifications 63.10(b)(2)(xiv) Five

- ye ar retention of records 63.10(b)(1), 63.2999(a) Electronic Reporting Some of the respondents are using monitoring equipment that automatically records parameter data. Although personnel at the affected facility must still evaluate the data, internal automation has significantly reduced the burden associated with monitoring and recordke eping at a plant site. Also, regulatory

agencies , in cooperation with the respondents, continue to create reporting s ys tems to transmit data electronicall y. However, electronic reporting s ys tems are still not widely

used. At this time, it is estimated that approximately 10 percent of the respon dents us e electronic reporting.

**(ii) Respondent Activities**7
**Respondent Activities** Read instructions. Write the notifications and reports listed above. Enter information required to be recorded above. Submit the required reports developing, acquiring, installing, and utilizing technology and sy stems for the purpose of collecting, validating, and verifying information. Develop, acquire, install, and utilize technology and sy stems for the purpose of processing and maintaining information. Develop, acqui re, install, and utilize technology and sy stems for the purpose of disclosing and providing information. Adjust the existing way s to comply with any previously applicable instructions and requirements. Train personnel to be able to respond to a collection of information. Transmit, or otherwise disclose the information. Currently , sources are using monitoring equipment that provide parameter data in an automated way

e.g., continuous parameter monitoring s ys tem. Although personnel at the sourc e still need to evaluate the data, this ty pe of monitoring equipment has significantly reduced the burden associated with monitoring and recordkeeping. **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, analy sis, storage, and distribution of the required information. **Agency Activities** Observe initial performance tests and repeat performance tests if necessary . Review notifications and reports, including performance test reports, and excess emissions reports, required to be submitted by industry

. Audit facility

records. Input, anal yz e, and maintain data in the OTIS. **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 properl y installe d and operated. Data and records maintained b y the respondents are tabulated and pu blished for use in compliance and enforcement programs. The report of annual compliance tests is used for problem identification, as a check on source operation and maintenance, and for compliance determinations.8

In formation contained in the reports is entered into OTI S which is operated and maintained by

EPA's Office of Compliance. OT IS is EPA ’ s database for the collection, maintenance, and retrieval of compliance data for approximately 125,000 industrial and government
- owned facilities. EPA uses OTI S for tracking air pollution compliance and enforcement b y 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 b y this regulation must be retained by the owner/operator for five ye ars. **5(c) Small Entity Flexibility** A majority

of the respondents are large entities (i.e., large businesses). However, the impact on small entities (i.e., small businesses) was taken into consideration during the development of the regulation. Two of the 14 existing facilities subject to this NESHAP are classified as small businesses under the Small Business Administration definition (750 or fewer company emplo yees ). Due to technical cons iderations involving the process operations and the ty pes of control equipment employed, the recordkeeping and reporting requirements are the same for both small and large entities. The Agency considers these to be minimum requirements needed to ensure co mpliance 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 frequenc y for each information collection activity within this request is shown below in Table 1: Annual Respondent Burden and Cost: NESHAP for Wet

- formed Fiberglass Mat Production (40 CFR P art 63, S ubpart HHHH) (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 I CR. The individual burdens are expressed under standardized headings beli eved to be consistent with the concept of burden under the Paperwork Reduction Act. Wherever appropriate, specific tasks and major assumptions have been identified. Responses to this information collection are mandatory

. The Agency

may not conduct or sp onsor, 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 recordke eping and reporting requirements is estimated to be 3,421 ( Total Labor Hours from Table 1). These hours are based on Agency studies and background documents from the development of the9

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 I CR uses the following labor rates: Managerial $ 121.42 ($5 7

. 82 + 110%) Technical $ 99.14 ($4 7

. 21 + 110%) Clerical $4 9

. 81 ($2 3

. 7 2 + 110%) These rates are from the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, September 2011 , Table 2. “ Civilian Workers, by occupational and industry group ” . The rates are from column 1, “ Total compensation ” . The rates have been increased b y 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 only costs to the regulated industry resulting from information co llection activities required b y the subject standard are labor costs. There are no capital/startup or operation and mainten ance costs.

**(iii) Capital/Startup vs. Operation and Maintenance (O&M) Costs** The only ty

pe of industry costs associated with the information collection activity in the regulations is labor costs. There are no capital/startup or o peration and maintenance costs. **6(c) Estimating Agency Burden and Cost** The only costs to the Agency

are those costs a ssociated with anal ys is 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 an d distribution of collected information. The average annual Agency cost during the three years of the ICR is estimated to be $2 3,038

. This cost is based on the average hourl y labor rate as follows: Managerial $ 6 2.27 (GS

- 13, Step 5, $ 3 8. 92 + 60% ) Technical $ 4 6

. 21 (GS

- 12, Step 1, $ 28. 88 + 60% ) Clerical $2 5.01 (GS

- 6, Step 3, $ 15. 63 + 60% ) These rates are from the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) , 20 1 1 General Schedule ,10

which excludes locality , rates of pay

. The rates have been increased b y 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 Wet

formed Fiberglass Mat Production (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart HHHH) (Renewal). **6(d) Estimating the Respondent Universe and Total Burden and Costs** Based on our research for this I CR, on average over the next three ye ars, approximately 14 existing respondents will be subject to the standard. It is estimated that no additional respondents per ye ar will become subject. The overall average number of respondent s, as shown in the table below, is 14 per year. The number of respondents is calculated using the following table that addresses the three ye ars covered b y this ICR. **Number of Respondents**

. **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 (below) , respectivel y, and summarized below. **(i) Respondent Tally** The total annual labor hours are 3,421 at a cost of $327,771

. Details regarding these estimates may

be found below in Table 1 : Annual Respondent Burden and Cost: NESHAP for Wet

- formed Fiberglass Mat Production (40 CFR P art 63, S ubpart HHHH) (Renewal)

. Furthermore, the annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 107 hours per response . There are no capital/startup and O&M costs to the regulated entity . **(ii) The Agency Tally** The average annual Agency burden and cost over the next three years is estimated to be 5 11 labor hours at a cost of $2 3,038 . See below Table 2 : Averag e Annual EPA Burden and Cost : NESHAP for Wet

- formed Fiberglass Mat Production (40 CFR P art 63, S ubpart HHHH) (Renewal)

. **6(f) Reasons for Change in Burden** There is an adjustment increase in the total estimated burden hours and costs for both the respondents and the Agency as currentl y identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved Burdens. This increase is not due to any program changes. The increase in the burden and cost reflects the time and cost to conduct performance tests , which is required ev ery five ye ars of the rule , and to12

review test results . In addition, this I CR uses updated labor rates in estimating the costs for the respondents and the Agency

. **6(g) Burden Statement** The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 107 hours per response. Burden means the total time, effort, or financial resources expended b y persons to generate, maintain, retain, or discl ose or provide information to or for a Federal agency. This includes the time needed to review instructions; develop, acquire, install, and utilize technology and s ys tems for the purposes of collecting, validating, and verifying information, processing an d maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information; adjust the existing way s to compl y 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.

**Assu mptions:**  a There are an estimated 14 respondents (i.e., wet
- formed fiberglass mat production facilities) , 13 with one production line and one with two lines, which are subject to this standard. We have assumed that there will be no new lines constructed over the three year period of this ICR. b This ICR uses the following labor rates: $121.42 per hour for Executive, Administrative, and Managerial labor; $99.14 per hou r for Technical labor, and $49.81 per hour for Clerical labor. These rates are from the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, September 2011, “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 th e benefit packages available to those em ployed by private industry. c We have assumed that all sources are in compliance with initial rule requirements including the initial performance test. The rule requires a performance test every five years since the initial test was conducted , which is applicable for this ICR renewal. We have estimated that each performance test will take approximately 21 hours to complete it since sources will be using EPA Method 316 to measure formaldehyde and applicable test methods specified in the N ESHAP to determine resin free

formaldehyde content and the loss

- on - ignition of the fiberglass mat. In addition, we have assumed that it will take approximately 200 hours to conduct the pretes t survey, equipment calibration, and sample analysis and report prepa ration for a total of 221 hours per performance test. We have further assumed that 20 percent of the performance tests fail and will have to be repeated. There are an estimated 14 respondents. Averaged over the 3

- year period of this ICR, the number of re spondents per year conducting the performance test is 4.67. d Monitoring of operations include: 1) monitoring operating parameters for control equipment (i.e., thermal oxidizer or other c ontrol equipment); 2) urea

- formaldehyde (UF) resin solids applicati on rate; 3) resin

- free formaldehyde content; 4) loss

- on - ignition; 5) UF

- to
- latex ratio in the binder; 6) weight of the final mat product per roofing square; and 7) average nonwoven wet

- formed fiberglass mat production rate (roofing square per hour). e We h ave assumed that approximately 80 percent of the 14 respondents (or 11.2) will report no excess emissions twice a year and ap proximately 20 percent (or 2.8) will report no excess emissions twice a year. f We have assumed that 2 of the 14 facilities will have a startup, shutdown or malfunction (SSM) that is not managed according to the SSM plan. g We have assumed it takes each source approximately 1.75 hours per week to record and transmit the information and that a year will consist of 52 weeks.16

- formed fiberglass mat production facilities) , 13 with one production line and one with two lines, which are subject to this standard. We have assumed that all sources are in compliance with initial rule requirements and that there will be no new lines constructed over the three year period of this ICR. b The rule requires a performance test every five years since the initial test was conducted, w hich is applicable for this ICR renewal. The number of respondents that will conduct the performance test, averaged over the 3

- year period of this ICR, is 4.67 (14 / 3 = 4.67). c We have assumed that approximately 80 percent of the 14 respondents (or 11.2) will report no excess emissions twice a year and approximately 20 percent (or 2.8) will report no excess emissions twice a year. d We have assumed that two of 14 respondents per year will have a startup, shutdown, or malfunction occurrence that is not managed according to the plan. e This cost is based on the following labor rates w hich incorporates a 1.6 benefits multiplication factor to account for governme nt overhead expenses: Managerial rate of $62.27 (GS

- 13, Step 5, $38.92 x 1.6), Technical rate of $46.21 (GS

- 12, Step 1, $28.88 x 1 .6), and Clerical rate of $25.01 (GS
