Title: NSPS for Glass Manufacturing 

Plants (Renewal). 

Abstract: The New Source 

Performance Standards (NSPS) for glass 

manufacturing plants, were proposed on 

June 15, 1979, and promulgated on 

October 7, 1980, and amended on 

October 19, 1984. These standards apply 

to any glass manufacturing facility for 

which construction or modification 

commences after June 15, 1979. The 

standards do not apply to hand glass 

melting furnaces, glass melting furnaces 

designed to produce less than 4.55 Mg 

(5 tons) of glass per day, or all-electric 

melters. Experimental furnaces are not 

subject to the emission standards at 40 

CFR 60.292. 

Owners or operators of the affected 

facilities described must make initial 

notifications, conduct and report on a 

performance test, demonstrate and 

report on continuous monitor 

performance, maintain records of the 

occurrence and duration of any startup, 

shutdown, or malfunction in the 

operation of an affected facility. 

Semiannual reports are required. These 

notifications, reports, and records are 

required, in general, for all sources 

subject to NSPS. The recordkeeping and 

reporting requirements specific to glass 

manufacturing plants are detailed in the 

40 CFR part 60, subpart CC. This 

information is being collected to assure 

compliance with 40 CFR part 60, 

subpart CC. 

Any owner or operator subject to the 

provisions of this part shall maintain a 

file of these measurements, and retain 

the file for at least two 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 EPA 

Regional Office. 

An agencyrespond 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, 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 

estimated to average eight hours per 

response. Burden means the total time, 

effort, or financial resources expended 

by persons to generate, maintain, retain, 

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: 

Owners or operators of glass 

manufacturing plants. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

41. 

Frequency of Response: On occasion, 

semiannually, and initially. 

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 

803 hours. 

Estimated Total Annual Costs: 

$302,601, which includes $0 annualized 

capital/startup costs, $237,800 in annual 

O&M costs, and $64,801 in Respondent 

Labor costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is an 

increase of 213 burden hours as 

compared to the active ICR. The 

increase in burden from the most 

recently approved ICR is due to the fact 

that we are presently accounting for 

management and clerical person hours 

per year, which was not accounted for 

in the active ICR. There was however, 

a decline of four sources as compared to 

the active ICR. This decline was due to 

plant closure and the high cost to 

retrofit aging facilities, and corporate 

mergers.

Title: Laboratory Quality Assurance 

Evaluation Program for Analysis of 

Cryptosporidium under the Safe 

Drinking Water Act. 

Abstract: Under the Laboratory 

Quality Assurance Evaluation Program, 

EPA evaluates labs on a case-by-case 

basis through evaluating their capacity 

and competency to reliably measure for 

the occurrence of Cryptosporidium in 

surface water using EPA Method 1622 

or EPA Method 1623. To obtain 

approval under the program, the 

laboratory must submit an application 

package and provide: a demonstration of 

availability of qualified personnel and 

appropriate instrumentation, equipment 

and supplies; a detailed laboratory 

standard operating procedure for each 

version of the method that the 

laboratory will use to conduct the 

Cryptosporidium analyses; a current 

copy of the table of contents of their 

laboratory’s quality assurance plan for 

protozoa analyses; and an initial 

demonstration of capability data for 

EPA Method 1622 or EPA Method 1623, 

which include precision and recovery 

test results and matrix spike/matrix 

spike duplicate test results for 

Cryptosporidium. 

After the laboratory submits to EPA 

an application package including 

supporting documentation, EPA and the 

laboratory conduct the following steps 

to complete the process: 

1. EPA contacts the laboratory for 

follow-up information and to schedule 

participation in the performance testing 

program. 

2. EPA sends initial proficiency 

testing samples to the laboratory (unless 

the laboratory has already successfully 

analyzed such samples under EPA’s 

Protozoan PE program). These sample 

packets consist of eight spiked samples 

shipped to the laboratory within a 

standard matrix. 

3. The laboratory analyzes initial 

proficiency testing samples and submits 

data to EPA. 

4. EPA conducts an on-site evaluation 

and data audit. 

5. The laboratory analyzes ongoing 

proficiency testing samples three times 

per year and submits the data to EPA. 

These sample packets consist of three 

spiked samples shipped to the 

laboratory within a standard matrix. 

6. EPA contacts laboratories by letter 

within 60 days of their laboratory onsite evaluation to confirm whether the 

laboratory has demonstrated its capacity 

and competency for participation in the 

program. 

The procedure for obtaining an 

application package, the criteria for 

demonstrating capacity and 

competency, and other guidance to 

laboratories that are interested in 

participating in the program, are 

provided at http://www.epa.gov/ 

safewater/lt2/cla_final.html. 

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 40 

CFR are listed in 40 CFR part 9 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 

estimated to average 19 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: Public 

and private water testing laboratories. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

22. 

Frequency of Response: Three times 

per year. 

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 

3,980. 

Estimated Total Annual Cost: 

$275,000, includes $109,000 annualized 

capital or O&M costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is a 

decrease of 367 hours in the total 

estimated burden currently identified in 

the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR 

Burdens. This decrease is just an 

adjustment to the estimate.
