    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. 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 for 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. This information is being collected to assure compliance 
with 40 CFR part 60, subpart CC.
    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: Semiannually.
    Total estimated burden: 850 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 
5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $338,000 (per year), which includes $238,000 
in annualized capital/startup and/or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is no change in burden from the 
most recently approved ICR as currently identified in the OMB Inventory 
of Approved Burdens. 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 this industry is very low or non-existent, so there is no 
significant change in the overall burden. Since there are no changes in 
the regulatory requirements and there is no significant industry 
growth, there are also no changes in the capital/startup or operation 
and maintenance (O&M) costs.
