NESHAP for Asphalt Processing and Asphalt Roofing Manufacturing (40 CFR
Part 63, Subpart LLLLL) (Renewal)

1.  Identification of the Information Collection

1(a)  Title of the Information Collection

NESHAP for Asphalt Processing and Asphalt Roofing Manufacturing (40 CFR
Part 63, Subpart LLLLL) (Renewal), EPA ICR Number 2029.04, OMB Control
Number 2060-0520

1(b)  Short Characterization/Abstract

The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP)
for Asphalt Processing and Asphalt Roofing Manufacturing were proposed
on   SEQ CHAPTER \h \r 1 January 10, 1989, and promulgated on November
20, 1990 (55 FR 48414).  These standards apply to new and existing
facilities that manufacture asphalt roofing products or oxidized asphalt
that are major sources of hazardous air pollutants (HAPs), or are
collocated at major sources.  This information is being collected to
assure compliance with 40 CFR part 63, subpart LLLLL. 

Owners and operators of affected sources are subject to the monitoring,
recordkeeping and reporting requirements of 40 CFR part 63, subpart A,
the General Provisions, unless specified otherwise in the regulation. 
This rule requires sources to submit initial notifications, conduct
performance tests if the source is using an add-on control device, and
submit periodic compliance reports.  In addition, sources are required
to maintain records of the occurrence and duration of any start-up,
shutdown, or malfunction in the operation if using an add-on control
device; any period during which the monitoring system is inoperative;
parametric monitoring data; system maintenance and calibration; and work
practices to demonstrate initial and ongoing compliance with the
regulation.  

In the development of this Information Collection Request (ICR), we
reviewed the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Terms of Clearance
(TOC) section on the active ICR. There are no TOC.

There is an average of 24 respondents per year over the next three years
of this ICR.  We have determined that approximately 22 of 135 existing
asphalt processing and asphalt roofing manufacturing source categories,
including 9 petroleum refineries that process asphalt, are estimated to
be potential major sources subject to the NESHAP subpart LLLLL
requirements.  In addition, we have assumed that one new facility per
year will become subject to this regulation.  This information was
confirmed with the rule lead addressing this source category at the
Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards (OAQPS), information
available in the active ICR, EPA database for the Clean Air Program, and
existing background information on the industry gathered during rule
development.

The burden to the “Affected Public” may be found below in Table 1:
Annual Respondent Burden and Cost:  NESHAP for Asphalt Processing and
Asphalt Roofing Manufacturing (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart LLLLL) (Renewal).
 The burden to the “Federal Government” is attributed entirely to
work performed by federal employees or government contractors; this
burden may be found below in Table 2: Annual Burden and Cost for The
Federal Government:  NESHAP for Asphalt Processing and Asphalt Roofing
Manufacturing (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart LLLLL) (Renewal) 

2.  Need for and Use of the Collection

2(a)  Need/Authority for the Collection

The Clean Air Act (CAA) provides authority to the Agency to establish
standards to control air pollution and to ensure compliance with
promulgated regulations through adequate recordkeeping and reporting by
the affected industries (i.e., respondents).  The regulations include
the New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) under section 111 of the
Act, the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (
NESHAP) which includes the original NESHAP standards and the more recent
Maximum Achievable Control Technology (MACT) or NESHAP-MACT standards
under section 112 of the Act, and emission guidelines for the designated
types incinerators under section 129 of the CAA.

2(b)  Practical Utility/Users of the Data

The recordkeeping and reporting requirements in the standards are used
by regulatory agencies, the public and the regulated community for a
variety of reasons including the determination of the respondent’s
compliance status, analytical studies to demonstrate compliance trends,
and evaluations regarding the efficacy of the promulgated regulations.

The required recordkeeping and reporting are also used to: 1) certify
compliance with the regulations; 2) determine the respondent’s
compliance with the designated emission limitations; 

3) notify regulatory agencies when a standard is violated; 4) evaluate
continuous compliance through the use of emission or operational
parameter monitors; and 5) ensure that plant personnel are following the
required procedures and are periodically trained, as indicated.

3.  Non-duplication, Consultations, and Other Collection Criteria

3(a)  Non-duplication

The standards do not require duplication in the collection and reporting
of information.   If the subject standards have not been delegated, the
information is sent directly to the appropriate Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) regional office.  Otherwise, the information is sent
directly 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 copy of the report submitted to the state or local agency
can be sent to the Administrator in lieu of the report required by the
Federal standards.

 

3(b)  Public Notice Required Prior to ICR Submission to OMB

An announcement of a public comment period for the renewal of this ICR
was published in the Federal Register (73 FR 31088) on May 30, 2008.  No
comments were received on the burden published in the Federal Register.

3(c)  Consultations

It should be noted that the respondents, the industry trade
associations, including the Asphalt Roofing Manufacturers Association
(ARMA), and other interested parties were provided an opportunity to
comment on the burden associated with the standard as it was being
developed and the standard has been previously reviewed to determine the
minimum information needed for compliance purposes. The Agency’s
internal industry experts have previously been consulted.

 It is our policy to carefully review any comments received since the
last ICR renewal including those submitted in response to the first
Federal Register notice and respond appropriately.  In this case, no
comments were received. 

3(d)  Effects of Less Frequent Collection

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 frequently, the proper operation
and maintenance of control equipment and the possibility of detecting
violations would be less likely.

3(e)  General Guidelines

Neither the reporting nor recordkeeping requirements violate the
regulations established by Office of Management and Budget (OMB) at 5
CFR part 1320, section 1320.5.  However, most NESHAP standards and a few
NSPS standards require records to be kept more than three years.  In
general, these standards require the respondents to maintain all
records, including reports and notifications, for five years.  The
five-year record retention requirement is consistent with the permit
program at 40 CFR part 70, and the five-year statute of limitations on
which the permit program is based.  

The retention of records for five years allows EPA to establish the
compliance history of the respondent for purposes of determining the
appropriate level of enforcement action.  Historically, EPA notes that
the most flagrant violations have extended beyond a five-year period. If
records are retained for less than five years, EPA would be deterred
from pursuing the most flagrant violations due to the destruction of
records documenting noncompliance.

3(f)  Confidentiality

Any information submitted 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, 1978; 44 FR 17674, March 23, 1979).

3(g)  Sensitive Questions

The recordkeeping and reporting requirements do not contain sensitive
questions.

	Electronic Reporting

Some respondents use monitoring equipment that automatically records
parameter data.  Although personnel at the affected facility must
evaluate the data, internal automation has significantly reduced the
burden associated with monitoring and recordkeeping at the plant site.

Also regulatory agencies, in cooperation with the respondents, continue
to create reporting systems to transmit data electronically.  However,
electronic reporting systems are still not widely used.  At this time,
it is estimated that approximately 25 percent of the respondents use
electronic reporting.

(ii)  Respondent Activities	

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 systems for the purpose of collecting,
validating, and verifying information.

Develop, acquire, install, and utilize technology and systems for the
purpose of processing and maintaining information.

Develop, acquire, install, and utilize technology and systems for the
purpose of 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.

Transmit, or otherwise disclose the information.

Regulatory agencies, to the extent possible, are relying more on
automated techniques such as electronic submissions of reports, and are
improving their tracking systems and database systems to enhance the use
of these techniques.  However, electronic reporting systems are still 

not widely used.  At this time, it is estimated that approximately 25
percent of the respondents use electronic reporting.

5.  The Information Collected: Agency Activities, Collection
Methodology, and Information Management

5(a)  Agency Activities 

EPA conducts one or more of the following activities in connection with
the acquisition, analysis, 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, analyze, and maintain data in the Air Facility System (AFS).

5(b)  Collection Methodology and Management

The required data and reports can be evaluated on-site by conducting a
partial compliance evaluation, full compliance evaluation or inspection,
or thru an off-site review of compliance monitoring records and reports.
 Evaluation reports and inspection results are maintained either by the
Agency or its delegated authority.

The results of these evaluations are entered into the Air Facility
Subsystem (AFS) which is operated and maintained by EPA's Office of
Compliance.  AFS is EPA’s database for the collection, maintenance,
and retrieval of compliance data for approximately 125,000 industrial
and government-owned facilities.  EPA uses the AFS for tracking air
pollution compliance and enforcement by local and state regulatory
agencies, EPA regional offices and EPA headquarters.  EPA and delegated
authorities can retrieve and analyze the data.

5(c)  Small Entity Flexibility

Over 65 percent of the existing facilities subject to this NESHAP are
classified as small businesses according to the Small Business
Administration (SBA) size standards and NAICS code, as one with 100 to
500 employees or $5 million or less in annual sales.  

However, the impact on small businesses was accounted for in the
regulation development.  The Agency has minimized the information
collection burden by reducing the recordkeeping and reporting
requirements to include only the information needed to determine
compliance with the asphalt processing and roofing NESHAP.  The asphalt
processing and roofing NESHAP is applicable only to major source
facilities.  

Additionally, we have limited the monitoring, record keeping and
reporting requirements for all facilities, including those owned by
small businesses, to the minimum necessary to ensure compliance.  

5(d)  Collection Schedule

The specific frequency for each information collection activity within
this request is shown below in Table 1: Annual Respondent Burden and
Cost:  NESHAP for Asphalt Processing      and Asphalt Roofing
Manufacturing  (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart LLLLL) (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. 
The individual burdens are expressed under standardized headings
believed to be consistent with the concept of burden under the Paperwork
Reduction Act.  Where appropriate, the specific tasks and major
assumptions have been identified when calculating the burden.  Responses
to this information collection are mandatory.

The 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.

6(a)  Estimating Respondent Burden

            The respondent burden is shown in Table 1:  Annual
Respondent Burden and Cost:  NESHAP for Asphalt Processing and Asphalt
Roofing Manufacturing  (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart LLLLL) (Renewal).  The
labor hours in Table 1 are based on Agency studies and background
documents from the development of the regulation, Agency knowledge and
experience with the standard, the previously approved ICR, and any
comments received.

6(b)  Estimating Respondent Costs

(i)  Estimating Labor Costs 

 

This ICR uses the following labor rates: 

Managerial	$100.99 ($48.09 + 110%)   

Technical	$87.97   ($41.89 + 110%)

Clerical	$43.81   ($20.86 + 110%)

These rates are from the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of
Labor Statistics, December, 2005, “Table 2. Civilian Workers, by
Occupational and Industry group.”  The rates are from “column 1,
Total Compensation.”  The rates have been increased by 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 annual burden for respondent activities includes labor costs and
operating and maintenance (O&M) costs.  The asphalt processing and
roofing NESHAP does not require any capital/startup costs.  The
capital/startup costs are one-time costs when a facility becomes subject
to the regulation.  We have assumed that all of the facilities have or
will obtain add-on control devices that are already equipped with
continuous parameter monitoring equipment. This monitoring equipment is
required not only for compliance purposes but also to operate the
control equipment.  

The annual operation and maintenance (O&M) costs for this ICR is $25,407
which includes contractor costs for initial performance tests of add-on
control devices and other costs such as file storage, photocopying and
postage.  Photocopying and postage costs are incurred when reports
required by the rule are submitted to regulatory agencies.  These costs
were estimated to be $7.50 per report.  The annual average cost of
photocopying and postage is expected to be $406.50.   Based on
information gathered during rule development, the estimated contractor
cost for initial performance tests of a PM control device, using EPA
Method 5A, is $7,000; and for initial performance tests of a thermal
oxidizer, using EPA Method 25A, is $25,000.  We have assumed that all
existing respondents have conducted performance test.  We have further
assumed that new respondents will be conducting an initial performance
test for one add-on control device, a thermal oxidizer.  The annual
average contractor cost for performance testing for the three years
covered by this ICR was estimated to be $25,000.

(iii)  Capital/Startup vs. Operation and Maintenance (O&M) Costs

The annual burden for respondent includes labor costs and operating and
maintenance (O&M) costs.  The asphalt processing and roofing NESHAP does
not require any capital/startup costs.  This is based on the assumption
that all existing sources are in compliance with initial rule
requirements and the assumption that the monitoring devices are integral
parts of the control devices necessary to determine whether these are
operating properly.  The annual operation and maintenance costs include
contractor costs for initial performance tests of add-on control devices
and other costs such as file storage, photocopying and postage.

As discussed in Section 6(b)(iii), there are no total capital/startup
costs for this ICR.  The total operation and maintenance (O&M) costs for
this ICR is $25,407 (rounded).  The total annualized respondent costs
over the next three years of the ICR is shown in block 14 (c), Total
annualized cost requested.  This has been calculated as the addition of
the capital/startup costs and the annual operation and maintenance
costs.

6(c)  Estimating Agency Burden and Costs

The only costs to the Agency are those associated with analysis of the
reported information.  EPA's overall compliance and enforcement program
includes activities such as the examination of records maintained by the
respondents and the publication and distribution of collected
information. 

            The average annual Agency cost during the three years of the
ICR is $19,767, which is shown below in Table 2: Annual Burden and Cost
for The Federal Government:  NESHAP for Asphalt Processing and Asphalt
Roofing Manufacturing  (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart LLLLL) (Renewal).  

This cost is based on the average hourly labor rate as follows:

Managerial	$56.02  (GS-13, Step 5, $35.01 x 1.6)

Technical	$41.57  (GS-12, Step 1, $25.98 x 1.6)

Clerical	$22.50  (GS-6, Step 3, $14.06 x 1.6)

These rates from the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) 2005 General
Schedule which excludes locality rates of pay.

6(e)  Bottom Line Burden Hours 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, respectively.  

(i) Respondent Tally

Details regarding the annual labor costs estimates may be found below in
Table 1: Annual Respondent Burden and Cost: NESHAP for Asphalt
Processing and Asphalt Roofing Manufacturing (40 CFR part 63, subpart
LLLLL) (Renewal).  Furthermore, the annual public reporting and
recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to
average 223 hours per response.  

The total annual capital/startup and O&M cost calculations are detailed
in Section 6(b)(iii), Capital/Startup vs. Operation and Maintenance
(O&M) Cost.

(ii) The Agency Tally

The average annual Agency burden hours and cost over next three years is
shown in Table 2: Annual Burden and Cost for The Federal Government:
NESHAP for Asphalt Processing and Asphalt Roofing Manufacturing (40 CFR
part 63, subpart LLLLL) (Renewal).

6(f)  Reasons for Change in Burden

There is no change in the labor hours or cost to the respondents in this
ICR compared to the previous ICR.  This is due to two considerations. 
First, the regulations have not changed over the past three years and
are not anticipated to change over the next three years.  Secondly, the
growth rate for respondents is very low, negative, or non-existent. 
Therefore, the labor hours and cost figures in the previous ICR reflect
the current burden to the respondents and are reiterated in this ICR. 
Apparent differences of less than 500 hours are attributable to
rounding; in previous years, hours were rounded to the nearest thousand;
this ICR presents more exact figures.

6(g)  Burden Statement

The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection
of information is estimated to average 223 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; to 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; to adjust the existing ways to comply with any
previously applicable instructions and requirements; to train personnel
to be able to respond to a collection of information; to search data
sources; to complete and review the collection of information; and to
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’s regulations are
listed at 40 CFR part 9 and 48 CFR chapter 15.

To comment on the Agency's need for this information, the accuracy of
the provided burden estimates, and any suggested methods for minimizing
respondent burden, including the use of automated collection techniques,

Assumptions:

a  There is an average of 24 respondents per year over the next three
years of this ICR.  We have determined that approximately 22 of 135
existing asphalt processing and asphalt roofing manufacturing source
categories, including 9 petroleum refineries that process asphalt, are
estimated to be potential major sources subject to the NESHAP subpart
LLLLL requirements.  In addition, we have assumed that one new facility
per year will become subject to this regulation.  

b  This ICR uses the following labor rates: $100.99 per hour for
Executive, Administrative, and Managerial labor; $87.97 per hour for
Technical labor, and $43.81 per hour for Clerical labor.  These rates
are from the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor
Statistics, December, 2005, “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 the benefit packages available to those employed by private
industry.

c    SEQ CHAPTER \h \r 1 We have assumed that existing respondents are
in compliance with initial rule requirements.  New respondents would
have to comply with the initial rule requirements including
notifications and performance tests for add-on control devices.

d  We have assumed that the initial performance tests and reports are
conducted by an emissions testing contractor, however, facility
personnel will also work on-site to assist the contractor.

e  Monitoring and recordkeeping of operations for respondents with
add-on control devices include: 1) specific operating parameters for
each control device established during the performance test, 2)
start-up, shutdown, and malfunctions of equipment,  and 3) work
practices.

f   We have assumed that one respondent with add-on controls per year
will have at least one startup, shutdown or malfunction (SSM) that is
not managed according to the SSM plan.

g  We have assumed that new respondents already have the technology and
recordkeeping systems in place to monitor its daily operations and to
comply with existing regulations.  

h  We have assumed that it takes respondents the following approximate
times to meet recordkeeping requirements:  1) one hour per day for
recording operating parameters, 365 days per year; 2) four hours per
year to calibrate and provide maintenance to continuous parameter
monitors five times per year; and 3) and 16 hours per year to train new
employees on add-on control devices, continuous parameter monitoring
technology and requirements, and review and implementation of startup,
shutdown, and malfunction plans.

Assumptions:

a   There is an average of 24 respondents per year over the next three
years of this ICR.  We have determined that approximately 22 of 135
existing asphalt processing and asphalt roofing manufacturing source
categories, including 9 petroleum refineries that process asphalt, are
estimated to be potential major sources subject to the NESHAP subpart
LLLLL requirements.  In addition, we have assumed that one new facility
per year will become subject to this regulation.  .

b   This cost is based on the following labor rates which incorporates a
1.6 benefits multiplication factor to account for government overhead
expenses:  Managerial rate of $56.02 (GS-13, Step 5, $35.01 x 1.6),
Technical rate of $41.57 (GS-12, Step 1, $25.98 x 1.6), and Clerical
rate of $22.50 (GS-6, Step 3, $14.06 x 1.6).  These rates are from the
Office of Personnel Management (OPM) 2005 General Schedule which
excludes locality rates of pay.  

c   We have assumed that existing sources have comply with the initial
rule requirements.  New respondents are required to conduct performance
test for add-on control equipments, submit initial notifications and
prepare startup, shutdown and malfunction (SSM) plans.  

d  Sources are required to submit semiannual compliance reports and
startup, shutdown and malfunction (SSM) reports if there is an
occurrence that is not managed according to the SSM plan.
