Abstract: The New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for Asphalt Processing and Roofing Manufacture (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart UU) were promulgated on August 6, 1982, and most- recently amended on February 27, 2014. These regulations apply to both existing and new saturators and mineral handling and asphalt storage facilities at asphalt roofing manufacturing plants and to asphalt storage tanks and blowing stills at asphalt processing plants, petroleum refineries, and asphalt roofing plants. New facilities include those that commenced either construction, or modification, or reconstruction after the date of proposal. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart UU. In general, all NSPS 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 NSPS. Any owner/operator subject to the provisions of this part shall maintain a file of these measurements and retain the file for at least two years following the date of such measurements, maintenance reports, and records. All reports required to be submitted electronically are submitted through the EPA's Central Data Exchange (CDX), using the Compliance and Emissions Data Reporting Interface (CEDRI), where either the delegated state or local authority can review them. If there is no such delegated authority, the EPAs regional offices can review them. All other reports are sent to either the delegated state or local authority. If there is no such delegated authority, the reports are sent directly to the EPAs regional offices. The use of the term "Designated Administrator" throughout this document refers to the U.S. EPA or a delegated authority, such as a state agency. The term "Administrator" alone refers to the U.S. EPA Administrator. The Affected Public includes asphalt processing and roofing manufacturing facilities in the United States. The burden to the Federal Government is attributed entirely to work performed by either Federal employees or government contractors. There are approximately 144 facilities, which are owned and operated by the asphalt processing and roofing manufacture industry. None of the 144 facilities in the United States are owned by either state, or local, or tribal entities or by the Federal government. They are all owned and operated by privately-owned, for-profit businesses. We assume that they will all respond to EPA inquiries. Based on our consultations with industry representatives, there are an average of 4 affected facilities at each plant site and each plant site has only one respondent (i.e., the owner/operator of the plant site). Over the next three years, approximately 144 respondents per year will be subject to these standards, and 2 respondents per year will undergo reconstruction and become new sources subject to these same standards. In accordance with OMBs previous Terms of Clearance, the supporting statement has been updated to comply with the standard 18 Question Template.
