Abstract: The New Source
Performance Standards (NSPS) for NSPS
for Magnetic Tape Coating Facilities (40
CFR part 60, subpart SSS) apply to each
new and existing coating operation and
coating mixing equipment at magnetic
tape coating facilities for which
construction, modification, or
reconstruction began after January 22,
1986. 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 60, subpart SSS.
In general, all NSPS standards require
initial notifications, performance tests,
PO 00000
Frm 00069
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
64521
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 NSPS.
Form Numbers: None.
Respondents/affected entities:
Magnetic tape coating facilities.
Respondent’s obligation to respond:
Mandatory (40 CFR part 60, subpart
SSS).
Estimated number of respondents: 6
(total).
Frequency of response: Initially,
quarterly, and semiannually.
Total estimated burden: 2,030 hours
(per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR
1320.3(b).
Total estimated cost: $321,000 (per
year), includes $86,400 in annualized
capital and/or operation & maintenance
costs.
Changes in the Estimates: There is no
change in the labor hours in this ICR
compared to the previous ICR. This is
due to two considerations. First, the
regulations have not changed over the
past three years and are not anticipated
to change over the next three years.
Secondly, the growth rate for the
industry is very low, negative or nonexistent, so there is no significant
change in the overall burden.

past three years and are not anticipated
to change over the next three years.
Secondly, the growth rate for the
industry is very low, negative or nonexistent, so there is no significant
change in the overall burden. There is
an adjustment increase in the labor
burden in this ICR compared to the
previous ICR due to the increase in
labor costs over the past three years.
