    Title: NESHAP for Asphalt Processing and Asphalt Roofing 
Manufacturing (Renewal).
    ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 2029.03, OMB Control Number 2060-0520.
    ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on August 31, 2006. 
Under OMB regulations, the Agency may continue to conduct or sponsor 
the collection of information while this submission is pending at OMB. 
An 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. The OMB control numbers for EPA's regulations 
in title 40 of the CFR, after appearing in the Federal Register when 
approved, are listed in 40 CFR part 9, and displayed either by 
publication in the Federal Register or by other appropriate means, such 
as on the related collection instrument or form, if applicable. The 
display of OMB control numbers in certain EPA regulations is 
consolidated in 40 CFR part 9.
    Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air 
Pollutants (NESHAP) for NESHAP for Asphalt Processing and Asphalt 
Roofing Manufacturing were proposed on 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 
startup, 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. Records of such measurements and 
actions are to be retained two years on-site of the required total five 
years. 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.
    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, or 
disclose or provide information to or for a Federal agency. This 
includes the time needed to review instructions; 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; 
adjust the existing ways to comply with any previously applicable 
instructions and requirements which have subsequently changed; train 
personnel to be able to respond to a collection of information; search 
data sources; complete and review the collection of information; and 
transmit or otherwise disclose the information.
    Respondents/Affected Entities: Owners or operators of facilities 
that manufacture asphalt roofing products or oxidized asphalt.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 24.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion, semiannually, and initially.
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 12,017.
    Estimated Total Annual Cost: $25,407, includes O&M costs only.
    Changes in the Estimates: The increase from 1,962 hours to 12,017 
hours in the annual labor burden to industry from the most recently 
approved ICR is due to adjustments. The increase in burden from the 
most recently approved ICR is due to an increase from 19 to 22 in the 
number of existing sources and the assumption that all existing sources 
are in full compliance with the rule's initial and on-going 
requirements since the compliance date has passed, May 1, 2006. All 
respondents are currently recording operating parameters and submitting 
semiannual compliance reports to comply with rule requirement compared 
to only new respondents in the active ICR.
    The decrease from $277,684 to $25,407 in the total annualized 
capital and operations and maintenance (O&M) costs is due to no startup 
capital costs being attributed to this rule since monitors are an 
integral part of the control equipment necessary to

[[Page 41213]]

determine if it is operating properly, and a decrease in the 
contractor's costs associated with performance tests based on the 
assumption that all existing respondents are in full compliance with 
the rule requirements.

Acting Director, Collection Strategies Division.
