Extension without change of a currently approved collection
Upon resubmission, the agency must update the burden estimates to accurately reflect the number of respondents in industry and verify that there are no reporting or recordkeeping requirements for States in 40 CFR Part 63, Subparts RRRRRR, SSSSSS, and TTTTTT. The agency must also ensure that burden is calculated for all of the requirements and that the requirements and burden tables are consistent throughout the supporting statement. The agency must provide screen shots of the electronic mode of collection that is used for this information collection. In addition, the agency must have a burden statement that aligns with the requirements under 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3) and placement of the OMB control number for on-line submissions on the initial screen per 5 CFR 1320.3(f)(2).

The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Clay Ceramics Manufacturing, Glass Manufacturing, and Secondary Nonferrous Metals Processing Area Sources were proposed on September 20, 2007, and promulgated on December 26, 2007. These regulations apply to the following existing and new facilities: 1) clay ceramics manufacturing facilities that process more than 50 tons per year of wet clay and are area sources of hazardous air pollutants (HAP); 2) glass manufacturing facilities that use continuous furnaces to produce glass that contains HAP as raw materials and are area sources of HAP; and 3) secondary nonferrous metals processing facilities that are area sources of HAP. Clay ceramics manufacturing facilities include facilities that manufacture pressed tile, sanitaryware, dinnerware, or pottery with an atomized glaze spray booth or kiln that fires glazed ceramic ware. Glass manufacturing facilities include facilities that manufacture flat glass, glass containers, or pressed and blown glass by melting a mixture of raw materials, to produce molten glass and form the molten glass into sheets, containers, or other shapes. Secondary nonferrous metals processing facilities means brass and bronze ingot making, secondary magnesium processing, or secondary zinc processing plants that use furnace melting operations to melt post-consumer nonferrous metal scrap to make products including bars, ingots, blocks, or metal powders. New facilities include those that commenced construction, modification or reconstruction after the date of proposal. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR Part 63, Subparts RRRRRR, SSSSSS, and TTTTTT.
In general, all NESHAP standards require initial notifications, performance tests, and periodic reports by the owners/operators of the affected facilities. They are also required to maintain records of the occurrence and duration of any startup, shutdown, or malfunction in the operation of an affected facility, or any period during which the monitoring system is inoperative. These notifications, reports, and records are essential in determining compliance, and are required of all affected facilities subject to NESHAP.
There is an increase in the respondent labor hours in this ICR compared to the previous ICR. The increase is not due to a change in program requirements. The number of respondents expected to refamiliarize with the regulatory requirements each year has been increased to include all 82 respondents. The annual O&M costs for glass furnace inspections have been adjusted upward to reflect current industry labor rates for technical workers. The regulations have not changed over the past three years and are not anticipated to change over the next three years. The growth rate for the industry is very low, negative or non-existent.
