SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has submitted an 
information collection request (ICR), NESHAP for Magnetic Tape 
Manufacturing Operations (EPA ICR Number 1678.11, OMB Control Nunber 
2060-0326) to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), for review and 
approval in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act. This is a

    Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air 
Pollutants (NESHAP) for Magnetic Tape Manufacturing Operations (40 CFR 
part

[[Page 72483]]

63, subpart EE) were proposed on March 11, 1994; promulgated on 
December 15, 1994; and amended on April 9, 1999. These regulations 
apply to existing and new magnetic tape manufacturing operations 
facilities, including solvent storage tanks, mix preparation equipment, 
coating operations, waste handling devices, and condenser vents 
associated with solvent recovery. New facilities include those that 
commenced either construction, modification, or reconstruction after 
the date of proposal. This information is being collected to assure 
compliance with 40 CFR part 63, subpart EE.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Existing and new magnetic tape 
manufacturing operations facilities, including solvent storage tanks, 
mix preparation equipment, coating operations, waste handling devices, 
and condenser vents associated with solvent recovery.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 63, 
subpart EE).
    Estimated number of respondents: 3 (total).
    Frequency of response: Initially, quarterly, and semiannually.
    Total estimated burden: 2,240 hours (per year). Burden is defined 
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $302,000 (per year), which includes $33,000 
in annualized capital/startup and/or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is decrease in the total estimated 
respondent burden compared with the ICR currently approved by OMB. The 
adjustment decrease in burden from the most recently approved ICR is 
due to a decrease in the number of sources. Based on a review of ECHO 
sources and consultations with the Agency's internal industry experts, 
three sources are identified to be subject to this rule. The previous 
ICR indicated four sources. The overall result is a decrease in burden 
and operation and maintenance costs. This ICR continues to assume that 
at least one existing source will construct a new line with enclosure 
each year, therefore, there is no change the capital costs estimated in 
the currently approved ICR.
