Affected
Entities:
Magnetic
tape
coating
facilities.
Abstract:
The
NSPS
for
Magnetic
Tape
Coating
Facilities
was
promulgated
on
October
3,
1988.
These
standards
apply
to
each
coating
operation
and
each
piece
of
coating
mix
preparation
equipment
for
which
construction,
modification
or
reconstruction
commenced
after
January
22,
1986.
Volatile
organic
compounds
(
VOC)
are
the
pollutants
regulated
under
the
standards.
Owners
or
operators
of
the
affected
facilities
described
must
make
the
following
one­
time­
only
reports:
Notification
of
the
date
of
construction
or
reconstruction;
notification
of
the
anticipated
and
actual
dates
of
startup;
notification
of
any
physical
or
operational
change
to
an
existing
facility
which
may
increase
the
regulated
pollutant
emission
rate;
notification
of
the
date
of
the
initial
performance
test;
and
the
results
of
the
initial
performance
test.
Owners
or
operators
also
are
required
to
maintain
records
of
the
occurrence
and
duration
of
any
startup,
shutdown,
or
malfunction
in
the
operation
of
an
affected
facility.
Monitoring
requirements
specific
to
the
magnetic
tape
coating
facilities
consist
mainly
of
VOC
measurements,
including
monthly
records
of
VOC
content
of
all
coatings
applied,
total
amount
and
percent
VOC
recovered,
and
the
total
amount
of
coating
applied.
In
addition,
facilities
utilizing
less
solvent
annually
than
the
applicable
cutoff
shall
make
semiannual
estimates
of
projected
annual
amount
of
solvent
use
and
maintain
records
of
actual
solvent
use.
Each
owner
or
operator
of
affected
magnetic
tape
coating
facilities
shall
install,
calibrate,
maintain,
and
operate
a
monitoring
device
that
continuously
indicates
and
records
the
concentration
level
of
organic
compounds
in
the
outlet
gas
stream.
Certain
facilities
will
also
be
required
to
continuously
measure
and
record
either
the
combustion
temperature
of
the
incinerator
(
for
those
facilities
controlled
by
a
thermal
incinerator)
or
the
condenser
exhaust
temperature.
Burden
Statement:
In
the
previously
approved
ICR,
the
estimated
number
of
respondents
for
this
information
collection
was
13
with
56
responses
per
year.
The
annual
industry
reporting
and
recordkeeping
burden
for
this
collection
of
information
was
3,891
hours.
On
the
average,
each
respondent
reported
4.3
times
per
year
and
70
hours
were
spent
preparing
each
response.
The
annual
reporting
and
recordkeeping
cost
burden
associated
with
continuous
emission
monitoring
in
the
previous
ICR
and
annualized
over
its
expected
useful
life
was
$
93,000
of
which
the
capital/
startup
costs
were
$
27,000
and
the
operation
and
maintenance
costs
were
$
66,000.

Title:
Drinking
Water
State
Revolving
Fund
Program
(
OMB
Control
Number
2040
 
0185,
EPA
ICR
Number
1803.04).
This
is
a
request
to
renew
an
existing
approved
collection
that
is
scheduled
to
expire
on
June
30,
2003.
Under
OMB
regulations,
the
Agency
may
continue
to
conduct
or
sponsor
the
collection
of
information
while
this
submission
is
pending
at
OMB.
Abstract:
The
Safe
Drinking
Water
Act
(
SDWA)
Amendments
of
1996
(
Pub.
L.
104
 
182)
authorize
the
creation
of
Drinking
Water
State
Revolving
Fund
(
DWSRF)
programs
in
each
State
and
Puerto
Rico
to
assist
public
water
systems
to
finance
the
costs
of
infrastructure
needed
to
achieve
or
maintain
compliance
with
SDWA
requirements
and
to
protect
public
health.
Section
1452
authorizes
the
Administrator
of
EPA
to
award
capitalization
grants
to
the
States
and
Puerto
Rico
which,
in
turn,
provide
lowcost
loans
and
other
types
of
assistance
to
eligible
drinking
water
systems
(
i.
e.,
local
respondents).
The
information
collection
activities
will
occur
primarily
at
the
program
level
through
the
Capitalization
Grant
Application
and
Agreement/
State
Intended
Use
Plan,
Biennial
Report,
Annual
Audit,
and
Assistance
Application
Review.
Information
from
these
sources
may
be
used
for
input
into
the
DWSRF
National
Information
Management
System.
In
order
to
receive
a
grant,
the
State
must
prepare
a
Capitalization
Grant
Application
that
includes
an
Intended
Use
Plan
(
IUP)
outlining
in
detail
how
it
will
use
funds
in
the
program.
The
Capitalization
Grant
Agreement
is
the
principal
instrument
by
which
the
State
commits
to
manage
its
revolving
fund
program
in
conformity
with
the
requirements
of
the
SDWA.
The
State
must
agree
to
complete
and
submit
a
Biennial
Report
on
the
uses
of
the
capitalization
grant.
The
Biennial
Report
indicates
how
the
State
has
met
its
goals
and
objectives
of
the
previous
two
fiscal
years
as
stated
in
the
grant
agreement,
and
more
specifically
in
the
IUP.
The
report
provides
information
on
loan
recipients,
loan
amounts,
loan
terms,
project
categories
of
eligible
costs,
and
similar
data
on
other
forms
of
assistance.
A
State
must
comply
with
the
provisions
of
the
Single
Audit
Act
Amendments
of
1996.
Best
management
practices
suggest
and
EPA
recommends
that
a
State
conduct
an
annual
independent
audit
of
its
DWSRF
program
(
including
set­
asides),
which
contains
an
opinion
on
the
financial
condition
of
the
DWSRF
program,
a
report
on
its
internal
controls,
and
a
report
on
compliance
with
applicable
laws
and
the
SDWA.
Because
States
provide
assistance
to
local
applicants,
States
assist
local
applicants
in
preparing
DWSRF
loan
applications
and
verify
that
proposed
projects
will
comply
with
applicable
Federal
and
State
requirements.
EPA
will
use
the
Capitalization
Grant
Application/
State
Intended
Use
Plan,
Biennial
Report,
Annual
Audit,
and
DWSRF
National
Information
Management
System
to
help
conduct
its
oversight
responsibilities
as
mandated
by
the
SDWA.
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,
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
1,652
hours
per
State
and
80
hours
per
local
respondent
(
including
Indian
Tribes
and
Alaska
Native
Tribes)
annually.
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:
State
and
local
governments
and
local
respondents.
Estimated
Number
of
Respondents:
1,428.
Frequency
of
Response:
Annually
and
biennially.
Estimated
Total
Annual
Hour
Burden:
194,395.
Estimated
Total
Annual
Cost:
$
6,898,416,
includes
$
0
annualized
capital
or
O&
M
costs.
Changes
in
the
Estimates:
There
is
an
increase
of
1,445
hours
in
the
total
estimated
burden
currently
identified
in
the
OMB
Inventory
of
Approved
ICR
Burdens.
This
increase
is
attributed
to
the
increase
in
the
estimated
number
of
respondents
participating
in
the
DWSRF
program.
The
increase
in
the
number
of
respondents
reflects
the
stabilizing
of
activities
in
the
DWSRF
program.
The
previous
ICR
included
lower
estimates
for
the
earlier
years
to
compensate
for
the
program's
early
start­
up
phase.
