    Abstract: The New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for Glass 
Manufacturing Plants (40 CFR part 60, subpart CC) were proposed on June 
15, 1979, promulgated on October 7, 1980, and amended on both October 
19, 1984 and October 17, 2000. These regulations apply to both existing 
and new glass melting furnaces located at glass manufacturing plants. 
New facilities include those that commenced construction, modification, 
or reconstruction after the date of proposal. Owners and operators of 
affected facilities are required to comply with reporting and 
recordkeeping requirements for the General Provisions (40 CFR part 60, 
subpart A), as well as the specific requirements at 40 CFR part 60, 
subpart CC. This includes submitting initial notifications, performance 
tests and periodic reports and results, and maintaining records of the 
occurrence and duration of any startup, shutdown, or malfunction in the 
operation of an affected facility, or any period during which the 
monitoring system is inoperative. These reports are used by EPA to 
determine compliance with these standards.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/Affected Entities: Glass manufacturing facilities.
    Respondent's Obligation to Respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 60, 
subpart CC).
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 41 (total).
    Frequency of Response: Initially, semiannually and annually.
    Total Estimated Burden: 850 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 
5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total Estimated Cost: $327,000 (per year), which includes $238,000 
in either annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is no significant change in the 
labor hours or cost in this ICR compared to the previous ICR. This is 
due to two considerations: (1) The regulations have not changed over 
the past three years and are not anticipated to change over the next 
three years; and (2) the growth rate for the industry is very low, so 
there is no significant change in the overall burden. However, the 
calculation of labor costs has been updated to use more recent labor 
rates.
