Abstract:
The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for the regulations published at 40 CFR Part 61, Subpart M were proposed on January 10, 1989, promulgated on November 20, 1990 (55 FR 48414), and amended on July 20, 2004 (69 FR 43324). These regulations apply to demolition and renovation of facilities; the disposal of asbestos waste; asbestos milling, manufacturing and fabricating; the use of asbestos on roadways; asbestos waste converting facilities; and the use of asbestos insulation and sprayed-on materials. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 61, subpart M. 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.

Short Statement:
There is an increase in the total estimated burden as currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved Burdens. The change is due to the removal of burden associated with electronic reporting by either demolition or renovation facilities. The previous ICR renewal introduced a pilot program for demolition/renovation facilities, which allowed for voluntary submission of certain notifications using electronic reporting, as available. However, there are no regulatory requirements for electronic submission of reports in 40 CFR part 61, subpart M; therefore, this ICR does not assign a regulatory burden for electronic submittal of reports. We have also updated the number of respondents to accurately reflect industry growth from the prior renewal, and updated the respondent and Agency labor rates, which are referenced from the Bureau of Labor Statistics and OPM, respectively. The overall result is an increase in burden.
