Office of Air and Radiation
TITLE: Reporting and Recordkeeping Requirements for the New Source
Performance Standards (NSPS) for Rubber Tire Manufacturing Industry
(ICR No. 1158.05; OMB No. 2060-0156).
ABSTRACT: This ICR is for an extension of an existing information
collection in support of the Clean Air Act, as described under the
general NSPS at 40 CFR Part 60.7-60.8 and the specific NSPS, for
volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions from the rubber tire
manufacturing industry, at 40 CFR Part 60.540-60.546. The information
will be used by the EPA to direct monitoring, inspection, and
enforcement efforts, thereby ensuring compliance with the NSPS.
Owners and operators of affected facilities must provide EPA with:
(1) Notification of construction, reconstruction, or modification; (2)
anticipated and actual dates of facility startup; (3) initial and,
where appropriate, monthly performance test data and results; (4)
physical and operational changes; (5) initial performance test results;
(6) initial and annual formulation data or Method 24 results to verify
VOC content of water-based sprays; and (7) a semiannual report of any
monitored operating parameter or emission rate that falls outside a
specified limit.
All affected facilities must maintain records on the facility
operation that document: (1) The occurrence and duration of any
startups, shutdowns, [[Page 31154]] and malfunctions; (2) VOC use and
emission reduction system operating data; (3) monthly performance test
results; (4) formulation data or results of Method 24 analysis of
water-based sprays containing less than 1.0 percent of VOC; and (5)
number of tires processed or the number of beads cemented if affected
facility elects to comply with a g/tire or g/bead limitation. All
subject facilities must maintain records related to compliance for two
years.
BURDEN STATEMENT: Public reporting burden for facilities subject to
this collection of information is estimated to average 31 hours per
response including time for reviewing instructions, searching existing
data sources, gathering and maintaining data, and completing and
reviewing the collection of information. Public recordkeeping burden is
estimated to average 352 hours annually.
RESPONDENTS: Owners or operators of subject rubber tire manufacturing
facilities which commenced construction, reconstruction, or
modification after January 20, 1983.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 31.
Estimated Number of Responses Per Respondent: 2.
Estimated Total Annual Burden on Respondents: 10,914 hours.
Frequency of Collection: One-time notifications for new facilities;
annual and semiannual reporting, as appropriate, for subject
facilities.

this collection of information, including suggestions for reducing
burden, (please refer to EPA ICR #1158.05 and OMB #2060-0156) to:
