Before resubmission of this ICR for extension, the Agency is encouraged to again evaluate the number of sources subject to these requirements and to reassess the estimates of burden per response to confirm that most sources continue to use positiv e pressure baghouses with a certified visible emissions observer instead of a continuous opacity monitor. Futhermore, the Agency should discuss whether any additional burden hours result from the activities necessary for the certified visible emissions observer.

Abstract: In general all NSPS 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 opera- tion of an affected facility, or any period during which the mon- itoring system is inoperative. These notifications, reports, and records are essential in determining compliance.
