Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Mineral Wool Production were proposed on May 8, 1997, promulgated on June 1, 1999, and amended on July 29, 2015. These regulations apply to both new and existing mineral wool production facilities with cupolas and/or curing ovens. These standards apply to owners or operators located at a plant site that is a major source of hazardous air pollutant (HAP) emissions. This signifies that the plant has the potential to emit any single HAP at a rate of 9.07 megagrams (10 tons) or more per year or any combination of HAPs at a rate of 22.68 megagrams (25 tons) or more per year. 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 DDD. In general, all NESHAP standards require initial notification reports, 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 Increase Due to:

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The increase in burden from the most recently approved ICR is due to several adjustments. There is an adjustment increase in labor burden due to a small increase in the number of respondents. Although the total labor cost decreased, this is due to a correction to attribute testing costs to O&M costs, resulting in a corresponding increase to the O&M costs. In addition to accounting for the testing costs as O&M costs, the increased O&M costs are also due to the increased number of respondents and adjusting the testing costs from 2011 to 2020 dollars and the baghouse leak detection costs from 2006 to 2020 dollars using the CEPCI Index. Because there are no new sources expected during the three-year period covered by this ICR, there is no change in the estimated capital cost.

Annual Cost to Federal Government: $12,500
