    Abstract: Owners and operators of existing and new facilities that 
are engaged in asphalt processing or asphalt roofing manufacturing are 
required to comply with reporting and record keeping requirements for 
the General Provisions (40 CFR part 63, subpart A), as well as for the 
applicable specific standards in 40 CFR part 63 subpart LLLLL. This 
includes submitting initial notifications, performance tests and 
periodic reports and results, and any period during which the add-on 
control system is inoperative. These reports are used by EPA to 
determine compliance with these standards.
    Form Numbers: 5900-567.
    Respondents/affected entities: Owners or operators of asphalt 
processing or asphalt roofing manufacturing facilities.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 63, 
subpart LLLLL).
    Estimated number of respondents: 8 (total).
    Frequency of response: Initially, semiannually, periodically.
    Total estimated burden: 4,000 hours (per year). Burden is defined 
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $558,000 (per year), which includes $84,900 
in annualized capital/startup and/or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is an increase in burden from the 
most-recently approved ICR as currently identified in the OMB Inventory 
of Approved Burdens. This increase is not due to any program changes. 
This ICR merges the `burdens' from EPA ICR Number 2029.08 and EPA ICR 
No. 2598.02 (OMB No. 2060-0724), and from the ICR that the RTR 
amendments finalized on March 12, 2020 at 85 FR 14526. The prior RTR 
amendments revised the rule to add periodic testing requirements which 
increased burden, and resulted in an increase in periodic testing costs 
and an increase in operation and maintenance (O&M) costs for control 
devices. The regulations are not anticipated to change over the next 
three years. The growth rate for this industry is very low or non-
existent. There are no changes in the capital/startup costs as no new 
sources have been constructed.
