    Title: NSPS for Rubber Tire Manufacturing (Renewal).
    ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 1158.10, OMB Control Number 2060-0156.
    ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on January 31, 2011.
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 New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for Rubber
Tire Manufacturing (40 CFR part 60, subpart BBB) were proposed on
January 20, 1983, and promulgated on September 15, 1987. Minor
revisions to the standards of performance for the rubber tire
manufacturing industry were proposed on February 14, 1989, and
promulgated on September 19, 1989.
    The affected facilities include: Each undertread cementing
operations, sidewall cementing operations, tread end cementing
operations, bead cementing operations, green tire spraying operations,
Michelin-A operations, Michelin-B operations, and Michelin-C automatic
operations, that commencing construction, modification or
reconstruction after January 20, 1983. The rule established standards
for volatile organic compounds (VOCs) use and emission limits.
    In general, all NSPS standards require initial notifications,
performance tests, and periodic reports. This standard required
performance test of Method 25 and an annual report of Method 23 results
to verify VOC content of water-based sprays. 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. Monitoring requirements specific to rubber tire
manufacturing plants provide information on the operation of the
emissions control device and compliance with the VOCs standards.
Semiannual reports of excess emissions are required. These
notifications, reports, and records are essential in determining
compliance, and are required of all sources subject to NSPS.
    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 60, subpart BBB, 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 Numbers for EPA
regulations are list in 40 CFR part 9 and 48 CFR chapter 15, and are
identified on the form and/or instrument, if applicable.
    Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping
burden for this collection of information are estimated to average 166
hours per response. Burden means the total time, effort, or financial
resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or
disclose or 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 purpose 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: Rubber tire manufacturing.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 41.
    Frequency of Response: Initially, annually, and semiannually.
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 13,323.
    Estimated Total Annual Cost: $1,266,476, which includes $1,250,076
in labor costs, no capital/startup costs, and $16,400 in operation and
maintenance (O&M) costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is no increase in the number of
affected facilities, labor hours, or the number of responses compared
to the previous ICR.
    There is however, an increase in the estimated labor burden cost as
currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved Burdens. This
increase is not due to any program change. The change in the labor
burden cost estimates has occurred because we updated the labor rates,
which resulted in an increase in labor costs. There is also an increase
of $400.00 to the operation and maintenance (O&M) costs.
