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.

New facilities include those that either commenced construction, or modification, or reconstruction after the date of proposal. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 60, subpart CC. 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, and are required of all affected facilities subject to the NSPS. Form Numbers: None. Respondents/affected entities: Glass melting furnaces located at glass manufacturing plants. Respondent’s obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 60, subpart CC).
