(ICR) abstracted below has been forwarded to the Office of Management

and Budget (OMB) for review and comment. The ICR describes the nature

Office of Air and Radiation

Title: New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for Magnetic Tape

Coating Facilities (Subpart SSS)--Reporting and Recordkeeping

Requirements (EPA ICR No. 1135.05; OMB No. 2060-0171). This is a

request for renewal of a currently approved information collection.

Abstract: Owners or operators of magnetic tape coating facilities

must provide EPA, or the delegated State regulatory authority, with

one-time notifications and reports, and must keep records, as required

of all facilities subject to the general NSPS requirements. In

addition, facilities subject to this subpart must install a continuous

monitoring system (CMS) to record continuously the concentration level

of organic compounds in the outlet gas streams, and must notify EPA or

the State regulatory authority of the date upon which demonstration of

the CMS performance commences. Owners or operators must submit to EPA

or the delegated authority quarterly excess emission reports or

semiannual compliance reports. The notifications and reports enable EPA

or the delegated State regulatory authority to determine that best

demonstrated technology is installed and properly operated and

maintained and to schedule inspections.

Burden Statement: The public reporting burden for this collection

of information is estimated to average 30 hours per response for

reporting, and 160 hours per recordkeeper annually. This estimate

includes the time needed to review instructions, search existing data

sources, gather and maintain the data needed, and complete and review

the collection of information.

Respondents: Owners or operators of magnetic tape manufacturing

facilities.

Estimated Number of Respondents: 14.

Estimated Number of Responses per Respondent: 4.

Estimated Total Annual Burden on Respondents: 4,000 hours.

Frequency of Collection: One-time notifications and reports for new

facilities; quarterly or semiannually reporting for existing

facilities.

the information collection, including suggestions for reducing the

burden, to:
