Agency Information Collection Activities Under OMB Review

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: In compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501

et seq.), this notice announces that the Information Collection Request

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

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

of the information collection and its expected cost and burden.

DATES: Comments must be submitted on or before April 6, 1994.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For further information or to obtain a

copy of this ICR, contact Sandy Farmer at EPA, (202) 260-2740.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Office of Air and Radiation

Title: New Source Performance Standard (NSPS) for Wool Fiberglass

Insulation Manufacturing (subpart PPP) Information Requirements-(EPA

ICR No. 1160.04; OMB No. 2060-0114). This is a request for renewal of a

currently approved information collection.

Abstract: Owners or operators of facilities that manufacture wool

fiberglass insulation must provide EPA or the delegated State

regulatory authority with the following one-time-only reports:

notification of the date of construction or reconstruction,

notification of the anticipated and actual dates of startup,

notification of any physical or operational change to an existing

facility which may increase the regulated pollutant emission rate, and

notification of the date of the initial performance test and the

results of this test. Semiannual reports of excess emissions are also

required.

Owners or operators are required to maintain records of the

occurrence and duration of any startup, shutdown, or malfunction in the

operation of an affected facility. They must also maintain daily

records of the continuous measurements of control device operating

parameters. Where a wet scrubbing control device is used, the owner or

operator must measure the gas pressure drop across each scrubber and

the scrubbing liquid flow rate to each scrubber at least once every

four hours. Where a wet electrostatic precipitator control device is

used, the owner or operator must measure the primary and secondary

current and voltage in each electrical field and the inlet water flow

rate at least once every four hours. Records of these measurements must

be kept at the source for a period of 2 years.

The notifications and reports enable EPA or the delegated State to

determine that best demonstrated technology is installed and properly

operated and maintained and to schedule inspections.

Burden Statement: The burden for this collection of information is

estimated to average 9.2 hours per response for reporting and 62.5

hours per recordkeeper annually. This estimate includes the time needed

to review instructions, develop a recall plan, create and gather data,

and review and store the information.

Respondents: Owners or operators of facilities that manufacturer

wool fiberglass insulation.

Estimated No. of Respondents: 46.

Estimated No. of Responses per Respondent: 2.

Estimated Total Annual Burden on Respondents: 3,680.

Frequency of Collection: One-time and semiannually.

Send comments regarding the burden estimate, or any other aspect of

the information collection, including suggestions for reducing the

burden to:
