Program, plus 3,733 hours (per year) for
the Methane Challenge Program. Burden
is defined at 5 CFR 1320.03(b).
Total estimated cost: $130,865.00 (per
year) for the Natural Gas STAR Program
plus $357,862.00 (per year) for the
Methane Challenge Program. There are
no capital/start-up costs or O&M costs
associated with this information
collection.
Changes in the estimates: There is an
increase of 1,675 hours (per year) in the
estimated respondent burden compared
with the ICR currently approved by
OMB. This increase is due to modifying
this ICR to include the addition of
respondents from the Natural Gas STAR
Program. However, the final total
burden for the total of the two programs
in this ICR renewal is less than the sum
of the burdens for Natural Gas STAR
and Methane Challenge Programs in
their most recent ICRs.

Abstract: The New Source
Performance Standards (NSPS) for Glass
Manufacturing Plants (40 CFR part 60,
subpart CC) were proposed on June 15,
1979; promulgated on October 7, 1980;
and amended on both October 19, 1984,
and October 17, 2000. These regulations
apply to both existing and new glass
melting furnaces located at glass
manufacturing plants. Owners and
operators of affected facilities are
required to comply with reporting and
recordkeeping requirements for the
General Provisions (40 CFR part 60,
PO 00000
Frm 00028
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
subpart A), as well as for the specific
requirements at 40 CFR part 60, subpart
CC. This includes submitting initial
notifications, performance tests and
periodic reports and results, and
maintaining 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. This information is being
collected to assure compliance with 40
CFR part 60, subpart CC.
Form Numbers: None.
Respondents/affected entities: Glass
manufacturing facilities.
Respondent’s obligation to respond:
Mandatory (40 CFR part 60, subpart CC).
Estimated number of respondents: 41
(total).
Frequency of response: Semiannually.
Total estimated burden: 850 hours
(per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR
1320.3(b).
Total estimated cost: $338,000 (per
year), which includes $238,000 in
annualized capital/startup and/or
operation & maintenance costs.
Changes in the Estimates: There is no
change in burden from the most recently
approved ICR as currently identified in
the OMB Inventory of Approved
Burdens. This is due to two
considerations: (1) The regulations have
not changed over the past three years
and are not anticipated to change over
the next three years; and (2) the growth
rate for this industry is very low or nonexistent, so there is no significant
change in the overall burden. Since
there are no changes in the regulatory
requirements and there is no significant
industry growth, there are also no
changes in the capital/startup or
operation and maintenance (O&M)
costs.

Abstract: Owners and operators of
affected facilities are required to comply
with reporting and record keeping
requirements for the General Provisions
(40 CFR part 63, subpart A), as well as
for the applicable specific standards in
40 CFR part 63, subpart LL. This
includes submitting initial notifications,
performance tests and periodic reports
and results, and maintaining 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 reports are
used by EPA to determine compliance
with these standards.
Form Numbers: None.
Respondents/affected entities:
Primary aluminum production located
at a major source.
Respondent’s obligation to respond:
Mandatory (40 CFR part 63, subpart LL).
Estimated number of respondents: 8
(total).
Frequency of response: Initially,
annually, and semiannually.
Total estimated burden: 52,300 hours
(per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR
1320.3(b).
Total estimated cost: $6,440,000 (per
year), which includes $310,000 in
annualized capital/startup and/or
operation & maintenance costs.
Changes in the estimates: There is a
decrease in burden from the mostrecently approved ICR as currently
identified in the OMB Inventory of
Approved Burdens. This increase is not
due to any program changes. The
adjustment decrease in burden from the
most-recently approved ICR is due to a
decrease in the number of sources. The
currently approved ICR assumed 11
respondents. Consultations with the
Aluminum Association conducted
during the renewal of this ICR revealed
that there are only eight primary
aluminum reduction plants currently
subject to this subpart. This decrease in
the number of respondents has resulted
in a decrease in respondent labor hours.
This ICR adjusts the capital cost from
the previously-approved ICR to reflect
costs from the October 15, 2015 rule,
which were annualized over a 15 year
period; the previous ICR assumed that
all capital costs were completed within
the first three years of the 2015 final
rule. This ICR also adjusts the operation
and maintenance (O&M) costs from the
previous ICR from 1997 dollars to 2019

dollars using the CEPCI CE Index, and
includes O&M costs for annual
monitoring from the 2015 final rule that
were inadvertently excluded from the
previous ICR. Therefore, this ICR
reflects a modest increase in capital and
O&M costs from the most-recently
approved ICR. This ICR also corrects the
total number of responses to reflect the
submittal of performance test reports on
a semiannual basis, which were
inadvertently excluded from the
previous ICR. This ICR, by in large,
reflects the on-going burden and costs
for existing facilities. Activities for
existing sources include annual and
semiannual performance tests,
continuous monitoring of pollutants,
and the submission of semiannual
reports.
