Conformity to a State Implementation Plan (SIP) means that transportation activities will not produce new air quality violations, worsen existing violations, or delay timely attainment of the national ambient air quality standards. The criteria by which we determine whether a SIP’s MVEBs are adequate for transportation conformity purposes are outlined in 40 CFR 93.118(e)(4). We have described our process for determining the adequacy of submitted SIP budgets in our July 1, 2004, preamble starting at 69 FR 40038, and we used the information in these resources while making our adequacy determination. Please note that an adequacy review is separate from EPA’s completeness review, and it also should not be used to prejudge EPA’s ultimate approval of the SIP. Even if we find a budget adequate, the SIP could later be disapproved. The finding and the response to comments are available at EPA’s transportation conformity Web site: https://www.epa.gov/otaq/ stateresources/transconf/adequacy.htm. Authority: 42 U.S.C. 7401–7671 q.

Under OMB regulations, the Agency may continue to conduct or sponsor the collection of information while this submission is pending at OMB. An Agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. The OMB control numbers for EPA’s regulations in title 40 of the CFR, after appearing in the Federal Register when approved, are listed in 40 CFR part 9, and displayed either by publication in the Federal Register or by other appropriate means, such as on the related collection instrument or form, if applicable. The display of OMB control numbers in certain EPA regulations is consolidated in 40 CFR part 9. Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Mineral Wool Production (40 CFR part 63, subpart DDD) were proposed on May 8, 1997, and promulgated on June 1, 1999. Owners/ operators of mineral wool production plants are required to install fabric filter bag leak detection systems and then initiate corrective action procedures in the event of an operating problem. Owners/operators subject to NESHAP subpart DDD must also continuously monitor and record: (1) The operating temperature of each thermal incinerator; (2) cupola production (melt) rate; and (3) for each curing oven, the formaldehyde content of each binder formulation used to manufacture bonded products. Owners/operators of affected mineral wool production facility must submit initial notifications (where applicable), performance test and periodic reports. Owners or operators 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. Semiannual reports are also required. These notifications, reports, E:\FR\FM\06MYN1.SGM 06MYN1 mstockstill on DSKH9S0YB1PROD with NOTICES 24946 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 87 / Thursday, May 6, 2010 / Notices and records are essential in determining compliance; and are required, in general, of all sources subject to NESHAP. Any owner or operator subject to the provisions of this part shall maintain a file of these measurements, and retain the records for at least five years following the date of such measurements and records. These notifications, reports, and records are essential in determining compliance; and are required, in general, of all sources subject to NESHAP. All reports are sent to the delegated state or local authority. In the event that there is no such delegated authority, the reports are sent directly to the EPA regional office. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 63, subpart DDD, as authorized in sections 112 and 114(a) of the Clean Air Act. The required information consists of emissions data and other information that have been determined to be private. An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB Control Number. The OMB Control Number for EPA regulations listed in 40 CFR part 9 and 48 CFR chapter 15, are identified on the form and/or instrument, if applicable. Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information, estimated to average 132 hours per response. Burden means the total time, effort, or financial resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or disclose, and provide information to or for a Federal agency. This includes the time needed to review instructions; develop, acquire, install, and utilize technology and systems for the purposes of collecting, validating, and verifying information, processing and maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information. All existing ways will have to adjust to comply with any previously applicable instructions and requirements that have subsequently changed; train personnel to be able to respond to a collection of information; search data sources; complete and review the collection of information; and transmit or otherwise disclose the information. Respondents/Affected Entities: Mineral wool production. Estimated Number of Respondents: 6. Frequency of Response: Initially, and semiannually. Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 1,581. Estimated Total Annual Cost: $153,169, which includes $148,669 in VerDate Mar<15>2010 16:53 May 05, 2010 Jkt 220001 labor costs, no capital/startup costs, and $4,500 in operation and maintenance (O&M) costs. Changes in the Estimates: There is a change in this ICR as compared to the previous one. Based on our discussions with the mineral wool production industry representative, the decrease is due to the closures of a number of facilities that the industry has been experiencing. There is no growth anticipated in the mineral wool production industry over the next three years. There is a decrease in the capital/ startup and operations and maintenance (O&M) costs from the previous ICR, which is also due to the decrease in the number of mineral wool production facilities.

    Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air 
Pollutants (NESHAP) for Mineral Wool Production (40 CFR part 63, 
subpart DDD) were proposed on May 8, 1997, and promulgated on June 1, 
1999. Owners/operators of mineral wool production plants are required 
to install fabric filter bag leak detection systems and then initiate 
corrective action procedures in the event of an operating problem. 
Owners/operators subject to NESHAP subpart DDD must also continuously 
monitor and record: (1) The operating temperature of each thermal 
incinerator; (2) cupola production (melt) rate; and (3) for each curing 
oven, the formaldehyde content of each binder formulation used to 
manufacture bonded products.
    Owners/operators of affected mineral wool production facility must 
submit initial notifications (where applicable), performance test and 
periodic reports. Owners or operators 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. Semiannual reports 
are also required. These notifications, reports,

[[Page 24946]]

and records are essential in determining compliance; and are required, 
in general, of all sources subject to NESHAP.
    Any owner or operator subject to the provisions of this part shall 
maintain a file of these measurements, and retain the records for at 
least five years following the date of such measurements and records. 
These notifications, reports, and records are essential in determining 
compliance; and are required, in general, of all sources subject to 
NESHAP.
    All reports are sent to the delegated state or local authority. In 
the event that there is no such delegated authority, the reports are 
sent directly to the EPA regional office. This information is being 
collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 63, subpart DDD, as 
authorized in sections 112 and 114(a) of the Clean Air Act. The 
required information consists of emissions data and other information 
that have been determined to be private.
    An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required 
to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a 
currently valid OMB Control Number. The OMB Control Number for EPA 
regulations listed in 40 CFR part 9 and 48 CFR chapter 15, are 
identified on the form and/or instrument, if applicable.
    Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping 
burden for this collection of information, estimated to average 132 
hours per response. Burden means the total time, effort, or financial 
resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or 
disclose, and provide information to or for a Federal agency. This 
includes the time needed to review instructions; develop, acquire, 
install, and utilize technology and systems for the purposes of 
collecting, validating, and verifying information, processing and 
maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information. All 
existing ways will have to adjust to comply with any previously 
applicable instructions and requirements that have subsequently 
changed; train personnel to be able to respond to a collection of 
information; search data sources; complete and review the collection of 
information; and transmit or otherwise disclose the information.
    Respondents/Affected Entities: Mineral wool production.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 6.
    Frequency of Response: Initially, and semiannually.
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 1,581.
    Estimated Total Annual Cost: $153,169, which includes $148,669 in 
labor costs, no capital/startup costs, and $4,500 in operation and 
maintenance (O&M) costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is a change in this ICR as compared 
to the previous one. Based on our discussions with the mineral wool 
production industry representative, the decrease is due to the closures 
of a number of facilities that the industry has been experiencing. 
There is no growth anticipated in the mineral wool production industry 
over the next three years.
    There is a decrease in the capital/startup and operations and 
maintenance (O&M) costs from the previous ICR, which is also due to the 
decrease in the number of mineral wool production facilities.
