Abstract:
The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Magnetic Tape Manufacturing Operations (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart EE) were proposed on March 11, 1994, promulgated on December 15, 1994, and amended on April 9, 1999. These regulations apply to both new and existing magnetic tape manufacturing operations, including solvent storage tanks, mix preparation equipment, coating operations, waste handling devices, and condenser vents associated with solvent recovery. 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 EE. 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.

Burden Reduction Due to:
Short Statement:
There is decrease in the total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently approved by OMB. The adjustment decrease in burden from the most recently approved ICR is due to a decrease in the number of sources. Based on a review of ECHO sources and consultations with the Agency's internal industry experts, three sources are identified to be subject to this rule. The previous ICR indicated four sources. The overall result is a decrease in burden and operation and maintenance costs. This ICR continues to assume that at least one existing source will construct a new line with enclosure each year, therefore, there is no change the capital costs estimated in the currently approved ICR.
