The National Emission Standards for
Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Rubber Tire Manufacturing (40
CFR Part 63, Subpart XXXX) were proposed on October 18, 2000,
promulgated on July 9, 2002, and amended on both March 12, 2003 and
April 20, 2006. These regulations apply to existing and new
facilities that are involved in rubber processing, tire production,
tire cord production, and puncture sealant application. New
facilities include those that commenced construction or
reconstruction after the date of proposal. This information is
being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart
XXXX. In general, all NESHAP 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 NESHAP.
The amount of facilities was
updated from 23 to 21 due to collocated facilities. Additionally,
time was added for familiarization with the new standard,
specifically the electronic reporting template. The number of
sources presented in this ICR reflects current data obtained from
industry, including information on the use of compliance
alternatives used by the affected facilities. Based on
consultations with the trade group, no facilities are using control
devices to comply with the requirements.
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.
