Characterization/
Abstract
This
ICR
includes
two
Clean
Air
Act
standards
for
the
wool
fiberglass
industry.
Both
the
NSPS
and
MACT
standards
include
basic
recordkeeping
and
reporting;
including
initial
notifications,
performance
testing,
semiannual
excess
emission
reports,
and
occurrence
and
duration
of
any
startup,
shutdown,
or
malfunction
in
the
operation
of
an
affected
facility.
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.

NSPS
Subpart
PPP.
The
New
Source
Performance
Standards
(
NSPS)
for
Wool
Fiberglass
Insulation
Manufacturing
Plants
were
proposed
on
February
7,
1984
and
promulgated
on
February
25,
1985.
These
standards
apply
to
each
rotary
spin
wool
fiberglass
insulation
manufacturing
line,
which
commenced
construction,
modification,
or
reconstruction
after
February
2,
1984.
The
purpose
of
this
NSPS
is
to
control
the
emissions
of
particulate
matter
from
each
rotary
spin
wool
fiberglass
insulation
manufacturing
line.
The
standards
limit
particulate
emissions
to
5.5
kilogram
per
megagram
(
11.0
lb/
ton)
of
molten
glass
used
to
manufacture
the
product.
This
information
is
being
collected
to
assure
compliance
with
40
CFR
Part
60
Subpart
PPP.
Recordkeeping
requirements
specific
to
wool
fiberglass
insulation
manufacturers
include
continuous
measurements
of
control
device
operating
parameters.
Where
a
wet
scrubbing
control
device
is
used,
the
owner
or
operator
of
an
affected
facility
must
measure
the
gas
pressure
drop
across
each
scrubber
and
the
scrubbing
liquid
flow
rate
to
each
scrubber
no
less
than
once
every
four
hours.
Owners
or
operators
who
comply
using
a
wet
electrostatic
precipitator
control
device
must
measure
the
primary
and
secondary
current
and
voltage
in
each
electrical
field
and
the
inlet
water
flow
rate
no
less
than
once
every
four
hours.
All
records
and
reports
of
this
information

Although
there
are
an
estimated
76
wool
fiberglass
manufacturing
lines
at
29
facilities,
we
are
assuming
that
only
one
rotary
spin
manufacturing
line
exists
at
each
facility.

must
be
retained
for
a
period
of
two
years.
Approximately
29
sources
are
currently
subject
to
NSPS
Subpart
PPP,
and
it
is
estimated
that
no
new
sources
will
become
subject
to
the
standard
over
the
next
three
years.

The
cost
burden
of
NSPS
Subpart
PPP
on
the
wool
fiberglass
insulation
manufacturing
industry
will
be
$
113,918.09
(
See
Exhibit
13).
NESHAP
Subpart
NNN.
The
Maximum
Achievable
Control
Technology
(
MACT)
for
Wool
Fiberglass
Manufacturing
Plants
were
proposed
on
March
31,
1997
and
promulgated
on
June
14,
1999.
These
standards
apply
to:
each
glass
melting
furnace
located
at
a
wool
fiberglass
manufacturing
plant;
each
rotary
spin
(
RS)
manufacturing
line
producing
building
insulation;
each
new
and
existing
flame
attenuation
(
FA)
manufacturing
line
that
produces
pipe
products;
and
each
new
FA
manufacturing
line
that
produces
heavy
density
products.
Facilities
that
manufacture
mineral
wool
from
rock
or
slag
are
not
subject
to
the
proposed
rule
but
are
subject
to
a
separate
MACT
standard
for
mineral
wool
production.
A
facility
that
is
determined
to
be
an
area
source
would
not
be
subject
to
this
MACT
standard
The
owner
or
operator
subject
to
this
MACT
must
demonstrate
compliance
with
the
requirements
of
this
subpart
by
no
later
than
June
14,
2002
for
an
existing
manufacturing
line
or
upon
startup
for
a
new
manufacturing
line
The
purpose
of
this
MACT
standard
is
to
control
the
emissions
of
hazardous
air
pollutants.
A
surrogate
approach,
where
particulate
matter
(
PM)
serves
as
a
surrogate
for
HAP
metals
and
formaldehyde
serves
as
a
surrogate
for
organic
HAPs,
is
employed
to
allow
easier
and
less
expensive
testing
and
monitoring
requirements.
The
proposed
emission

subject
to
the
standard,
and
it
is
estimated
that
no
new

Need
for
and
Use
of
the
Collection
2(
a)
Need/
Authority
for
the
Collection
The
EPA
is
charged
under
Section
111
of
the
Clean
Air
Act,
as
amended,
to
establish
standards
of
performance
for
new
stationary
sources
that
reflect:
.
.
.
application
of
the
best
technological
system
of
continuous
emissions
reduction
which
(
taking
into
consideration
the
cost
of
achieving
such
emissions
reduction,
or
any
non­
air
quality
health
and
environmental
impact
and
energy
requirements)
the
Administrator
determines
has
been
adequately
demonstrated
[
Section
111(
a)(
l)].
The
Agency
refers
to
this
charge
as
selecting
the
best
demonstrated
technology
(
BDT).
Section
111
also
requires
that
the
Administrator
review
and,
if
appropriate,
revise
such
standards
every
four
years.
In
the
Administrator's
judgment,
particulate
emissions
from
wool
fiberglass
insulation
manufacturing
plants
cause
or
contribute
to
air
pollution
that
may
reasonably
be
anticipated
to
endanger
public
health
or
welfare.
Therefore,
NSPS
were
promulgated
for
this
source
category
at
40
CFR
Part
60
­
Subpart
PPP.
EPA
is
also
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.
In
the
Administrator's
judgment,
HAP
emissions
from
wool
fiberglass
manufacturing
plants
also
cause
or
contribute
to
air
pollution
that
may
reasonably
be
anticipated
to
endanger
public
health
or
welfare.
Therefore,
a
MACT
standard
was
promulgated
for
this
source
category
at
40
CFR
Part
63
­
Subpart
NNN.
In
addition,
Section
114(
a)
states
that:
.
.
.
the
Administrator
may
require
any
owner
or
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
or
methods
(
in
accordance
with
such
methods
at
4
such
locations,
at
such
intervals,
and
in
such
manner
as
the
Administrator
shall
prescribe);
(
D)
sample
such
emissions;
(
E)
keep
records
on
control
equipment
parameters,
production
variables
or
other
indirect
data
when
direct
monitoring
of
emissions
is
impractical;
(
F)
submit
compliance
certifications;
and
(
G)
provide
such
other
information
as
he
may
reasonably
require.

2(
b)
PRACTICAL
UTILITY/
USERS
OF
THE
DATA
The
control
of
emissions
of
particulates
and
HAPs
from
wool
fiberglass
insulation
manufacturing
plants
requires
not
only
the
installation
of
properly
designed
equipment,
but
also
the
operation
and
maintenance
of
that
equipment.
Emissions
of
particulates
from
wool
fiberglass
insulation
manufacturing
plants
are
the
result
of
operation
of
each
rotary
spin
wool
fiberglass
insulation
manufacturing
line.
Emissions
of
HAPs
from
wool
fiberglass
manufacturing
plants
are
the
result
of
operation
of
each
glass
melting
furnace
and
each
RS
and
FA
manufacturing
line.
These
standards
rely
on
the
capture
of
particulate
and
HAPs
emissions
by
control
equipment
such
as
a
wet
scrubbing
control
device
or
an
electrostatic
precipitator.
The
required
notifications
are
used
to
inform
the
Agency
or
delegated
authority
when
a
source
becomes
subject
to
the
standard.
The
reviewing
authority
may
then
inspect
the
source
to
check
if
the
pollution
control
devices
are
properly
installed
and
operated
and
the
standard
is
being
met.
Performance
test
reports
are
needed
as
these
are
the
Agency's
record
of
a
source's
initial
capability
to
comply
with
the
emission
standard,
and
serve
as
a
record
of
the
operating
conditions
under
which
compliance
was
achieved.
The
semiannual
reports
are
used
for
problem
identification,
as
a
check
on
source
operation
and
maintenance,
and
for
compliance
determinations.

3.
Nonduplication,
Consultations,
and
Other
Collection
Criteria
3(
a)
Nonduplication
The
recordkeeping
and
reporting
requested
is
required
under
both
40
CFR
Part
60
Subpart
PPP
and
40
CFR
Part
63
Subpart
NNN.
If
the
standard
has
not
been
delegated
the
information
is
sent
to
the
appropriate
EPA
Regional
Office.
Otherwise,
the
information
is
sent
directly
to
the
delegated
State
or
Local
Agency.
If
a
State
or
Local
Agency
has
adopted
their
own
similar
regulation
to
implement
the
Federal
Regulation,
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
Standard.
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
the
ICR
for
NSPS
Subpart
PPP
was
published
in
the
Federal
Register
on
October
29,
1999.
An
announcement
of
a
public
comment
period
for
the
renewal
of
the
ICR
for
MACT
Subpart
NNN
was
published
in
the
Federal
Register
on
January
21,
2000.
3
MACT
Subpart
NNN
also
includes
facilities
that
manufacture
fiberglass
for
liquid
and
air
filtration.
However,
the
majority
of
the
facilities
(~
90%)
manufacture
fiberglass
for
building
insulation.

3(
c)
Consultations
No
comments
were
received
on
the
two
notices
published
in
the
Federal
Register.

3(
d)
Effects
of
Less
Frequent
Collection
Less
frequent
information
collection
would
decrease
the
margin
of
assurance
that
facilities
are
continuing
to
meet
the
required
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
likelihood
of
detecting
poor
operation
and
maintenance
of
control
equipment
and
noncompliance
would
decrease.

3(

the
reviewing
authority
might
inspect
the
source
to
determine
whether
the
pollution
control
devices
are
properly
installed
and
operated.
Performance
test
reports
are
used
by
the
Agency
to
discern
a
source's
initial
capability
to
comply
with
the
emission
standard,
and
the
operating
conditions
under
which
compliance
was
achieved.
Data
and
records
maintained
by
the
respondents
are
tabulated
and
published
for
use
in
compliance
and
enforcement
programs.
The
semiannual
reports
are
used
for
problem
identification,
as
a
check
on
10
source
operation
and
maintenance,
and
for
compliance
determinations.
Information
contained
in
the
reports
is
entered
into
AIRS
which
is
operated
and
maintained
by
EPA's
Office
of
Air

Estimating
Respondent
Burden
The
average
annual
burden
to
industry
over
the
next
three
years
from
these
recordkeeping
and
reporting
requirements
for
NSPS
Subpart
PPP
is

at
2,074
hours.
The
average
annual
burden
to
industry
over
the
next
three
years
from
these
recordkeeping
and
reporting
requirements
for
MACT
Subpart
NNN
is
estimated
at
17,024
hours.
These
hours
are
based
on
Agency
studies
and
background
documents
from
the
development
of
the
standards
or
test
methods,
Agency
knowledge

Costs
(

Estimating
Labor
Costs
This
ICR
uses
a
technical
labor
rate
of
$
54.94
per
hour,
a
management
labor
rate
of
$
73.93,

The
wage
rate
has
been
loaded
by
adding
110%
overhead.

The
previous
ICR
assumed
that
all
facilities
subject
to
Subpart
NNN
would
come
into
compliance
during
the
first
year
following
the
effective
date.
We
believe
this
assumption
to
be
incorrect.
We
are
assuming
that
compliance
with
this
standard
will
occur
over
the
first
three
years
following
the
effective
date
(
leading
up
to
the
compliance
deadline
of
June
14,
2002).
Therefore
we
assume
that
one­
third,
or
eight
(
8)
facilities,
came
into
compliance
within
the
first
year
following
the
effective
date.
The
capital
costs
associated
with
these
eight
(
8)
facilities
would
be
captured
in
the
previous
ICR.
The
capital
costs
for
the
remaining
18
facilities
will
be
captured
in
this
ICR.

For
NSPS
Subpart

only
technical

are
used
to
satisfy
the
reporting

recordkeeping
requirements
since
this
standard
is
older
and
more
simplistic.

(

Estimating
Capital
and
Operations
and
Maintenance
Costs
The
capital
and
operations
and
maintenance
(
O&
M)
costs
for
NSPS
Subpart
PPP
are
associated
with
the
particulate
matter
monitoring
equipment.
The
capital
start
up
costs
are
one
time
costs
when
a
facility
becomes
subject
to
the
standard.
Because
no
new
sources
are
anticipated
for
this
source
category
over
the
next
three
years,
the
capital
startup
costs
are
zero.
The
annual
operations
and
maintenance
costs
associated
with
the
particular
monitoring
equipment
are
$
16,500.
The
capital
and
O&
M
costs
for
MACT
Subpart
NNN
are
associated
with
baghouse
leak
detection
monitoring,
furnace
temperature
monitoring,
and
formaldehyde
emission
monitoring.
The
capital/
startup
costs
are
one
time
costs
when
a
facility
becomes
subject
to
the
standard.
There
are
approximately
19
baghouses
located
at
11
wool
fiberglass
manufacturing
facilities.
Approximately
one­
third,
or
six
(
6),
of
these
baghouses
are
already
in
compliance5.
We
estimate
that
the
remaining
two­
thirds,
or
13
baghouses,
located
at
seven
(
7)
facilities,
will
come
into
compliance
before
the
compliance
date.
The
capital
cost
for
baghouse
leak
detection
monitoring
is
estimated
at
$
9,100
per
baghouse.
O&
M
costs
for
baghouse
leak
detection
monitoring
are
estimated
at
$
500
per
year
per
baghouse.
There
are
an
estimated
13
cold­
top
electric
furnaces
at
six
(
6)
facilities.
Approximately
onethird
or
four
(
4),
of
these
furnaces
are
already
in
compliance.
The
remaining
two­
thirds,
or
nine
(
9)
furnaces,
will
come
into
compliance
before
the
compliance
date.
The
capital
cost
for
furnace
temperature
monitors
is
estimated
at
$
1,500
per
monitor.
There
are
no
O&
M
costs
associated
with
furnace
temperature
monitors.
There
are
approximately
48
RS
and
FA
manufacturing
lines
that
need
to
be
modified
to
correlate
between
formaldehyde
emissions
and
process
parameters.
Approximately
one­
third,
or
16
manufacturing
lines,
are
already
in
compliance.
The
remaining
two­
thirds,
or
32
manufacturing
lines,
will
come
into
compliance
before
the
compliance
date.
The
capital
cost
for
modifying
each
line
is
estimated
to
cost
$
15,000.
Total
annualized
capital/
start
up
cost
is
$
204,000
($
611,800/
3).
There
are
no
O&
M
costs
associated
with
formaldehyde
emissions
monitoring.

For
this
table
the
term
"
units"
is
used
to
describe
each
individual
piece
of
equipment
not
each
plant.
Note
however,
that
the

the
first
three
years
following
promulgation
of
the
standard;
June
14,
1999
thru
June
14,
2002.
However,
since
the
previous
ICR
expires
on
May
31,
2000,
this
ICR
will
overlap
the
previous
ICR
for
two
years,
covering
June
1,
2000
thru
June
1,
2003.

Reasons
for
Change
in
Burden
The
primary
source
used
to
estimate
the
number
of
facilities
subject
to
NSPS
Subpart
PPP
and
MACT
Subpart
NNN
was
the
United
States
Geological
Survey
(
USGS).
In
addition,
the
North
American
Insulation
Manufacturers
Association's
website
provided
additional
information
on
the
profile
of
the
wool
fiberglass
insulation
industry.
Basically,
there
is
slight
decrease
(
116)
in
Burden
Hours
from
the
previous
ICR.
The
formula
used
to
calculate
labor
rates
on
the
previous
ICRs
has
been
replaced
by
1999
rates
identified
by
the
Bureau
of
Labor
Statistics.
As
a
result,
the
technical,
management,
and
clerical
labor
rates
are
approximately
$
20.00
per
hour
higher
than
the
previous
rate.
The
change
in
labor
rate
and
the
increased
number
of
facilities
subject
to
NSPS
Subpart
PPP
are
the
two
primary
factors
contributing
to
the
$
64,568
increase
in
cost
burden
from
the
previous
ICR.
The
change
in
labor
rate
is
the
primary
reason
for
the
increased
annual
cost
burden
on
industry
subject
to
MACT
Subpart
NNN
from
$
541,000
to
$
919,002.
We
expect
existing
facilities
to
continue
to
come
into
compliance
with
MACT
Subpart
NNN
during
the
first
two
years
of
this
ICR
in
an
effort
to
meet
the
June
14,
2002
compliance
date.
However,
in
the
third
year
of
this
ICR,
we
expect
all
existing
facilities
to
be
in
compliance
with
this
MACT
and
thus
expect
a
decrease
in
the
overall
burden
on
the
industry
(
see
Table
4
(
a
