    Abstract: The New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for 
Nonmetallic Mineral Processing (40 CFR part 60, subpart OOO) apply to 
the following affected facilities in fixed or portable nonmetallic 
mineral processing plants: Each crusher, grinding mill, screening 
operation, bucket elevator, belt conveyor, bagging operation, storage 
bin, and enclosed truck or railcar loading station, which commenced 
construction, modification or reconstruction after August 31, 1983. 
Also, crushers and grinding mills at hot mix asphalt facilities that 
reduce the size of nonmetallic minerals embedded in recycled asphalt 
pavement and subsequent affected facilities up to, but not including, 
the first storage silo or bin are subject to the provisions of the 
subpart. New facilities include those that commenced construction, 
modification, or reconstruction after the date of proposal. In general, 
all NSPS 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 with 40 CFR part 60, 
subpart OOO.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/Affected Entities: Nonmetallic mineral processing 
facilities.
    Respondent's Obligation to Respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 60, 
subpart OOO).
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 5,095 (total).
    Frequency of Response: Initially and occasionally.
    Total Estimated Burden: 20,200 hours (per year). Burden is defined 
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total Estimated Cost: $2,450,000 (per year), which includes 
$228,000 in annualized capital/setup and/or operation & maintenance 
costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: The increase in burden for respondents 
from the most recently approved ICR is due to two adjustments. The 
first adjustment increase in burden is an increase in the number of new 
or modified sources. The second adjustment increase in burden from the 
most recently approved ICR is the addition of burden hours to account 
for the time spent by existing facilities to re-familiarize themselves 
annually with the rule requirements.
