This action has no effect on any current approvals. If OMB has assigned this ICR a new OMB Control Number, the OMB Control Number will not appear in the active inventory. For future submissions of this information collection, reference the OMB Control Number provided. OMB is withholding approval at this time. Prior to publication of the final rule, the agency should provide a summary of any comments related to the information collection and their response, including any changes made to the ICR as a result of comments.

EPA is proposing amendments to the National Emission Standards for Wool Fiberglass Manufacturing. The amendments would add new emission limits for chromium compounds, hydrogen fluoride (HF), and hydrogen choride (HCl) for glass-melting furnaces and revised emission limits for formaldehyde and new emissions limits for phenol and methanol from rotary spin manufacturing lines and flame attenuation manufacturing lines; and revise the associated performance testing, recordkeeping, monitoring, and reporting requirements. Potential respondents subject to the NESHAP include an estimated 2 existing facilities that manufacture wool fiberglass. There are no additional annual responses attributable to this ICR. The burden estimates are associated with revising operation and maintenance plans, conducting performance tests to demonstrate compliance with the new emission limits, and checking and calibrating certain monitoring instruments associated with operating parameters for control devices. No burden estimates are provided for new sources because no new major source facilities are expected to be affected sources during the next 3 years.
The proposed amendments would require respondents to read the proposed amendments, revise Operation and Maintenance Plans to account for additional emission limits for chromium compounds, HF, HCl, phenol, and methanol, and check and recalibrate certain types of instruments used to measure appropriate operating parameters correlated to compliance testing data, and submit the results of the required testing.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that the collection of information encompassed by this request complies with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding the proposed collection of information, that the certification covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
