The New Source Performance Standards
(NSPS) for the regulations published at 40 CFR part 60, subpart PPP
were proposed on February 7, 1984, and promulgated on February 25,
1985. These regulations apply to each rotary spin wool fiberglass
insulation manufacturing line, which commenced construction,
modification, or reconstruction after February 2, 1984. The purpose
of this NSPS is to control the emissions of particulate matter from
each rotary spin wool fiberglass insulation manufacturing line. The
standards limit particulate emissions to 5.5 kilograms per megagram
(11.0 lb./ton) of molten glass used to manufacture the product. The
National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP)
for the regulations published at 40 CFR part 63, subpart NNN were
proposed on March 31, 1997, and promulgated on June 14, 1999. These
regulations apply to each glass melting furnace located at a wool
fiberglass manufacturing plant; each rotary spin (RS) manufacturing
line producing building insulation; each new and existing flame
attenuation (FA) manufacturing line that produces pipe products;
and each new FA manufacturing line that produces heavy density
products. Plants that manufacture mineral wool from rock or slag
are not subject to the proposed rule but are subject to a separate
NESHAP standard for mineral wool production. A facility that is
determined to be an area source would not be subject to this NESHAP
standard. This information is being collected to assure compliance
with 40 CFR part 60, subpart PPP and 40 CFR part 63, subpart NNN.
In general, all NSPS and NESHAP standards require initial
notifications, performance tests, and periodic reports. 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. These notifications, reports, and
records are essential in determining compliance, and are required
of all sources subject to both the NSPS and NESHAP. Any owner or
operator subject to the provisions of 40 CFR part 60, subpart PPP
shall maintain a file of these measurements, and retain the file
for at least two years following the date of such measurements,
maintenance reports, and records. Any owner or operator subject to
the provisions of 40 CFR part 63, subpart NNN shall maintain a file
of these measurements, and retain the file for at least five years
following the date of such measurements, maintenance reports, and
records. All reports for both the NSPS and NESHAP 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
United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Regional
Office.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
