Information Collection Request Submitted to OMB for Review and 
Approval; Comment Request; NSPS for Nonmetallic Mineral Processing 
(Renewal)

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency has submitted an 
information collection request (ICR), ``NSPS for Nonmetallic Mineral 
Processing (40 CFR part 60, subpart OOO) (Renewal)'' (EPA ICR No. 
1084.13, OMB Control No. 2060-0050) to the Office of Management and 
Budget (OMB) for review and approval in accordance with the Paperwork 
Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.). This is a proposed extension of 
the ICR, which is currently approved through July 31, 2015. Public 
comments were previously requested via the Federal Register (79 FR 
30117) on May 27, 2014 during a 60-day comment period. This notice 
allows for an additional 30 days for public comments. A fuller 
description of the ICR is given below, including its estimated burden 
and cost to the public. An Agency may not conduct or sponsor and a 
person is not required to respond to a collection of information unless 
it displays a currently valid OMB control number.

DATES: Additional comments may be submitted on or before August 31, 
2015.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Supporting documents which explain in detail 
the information that the EPA will be collecting are available in the 
public docket for this ICR. The docket can be viewed online at 
www.regulations.gov or in person at the EPA Docket Center, EPA West, 
Room 3334, 1301 Constitution Ave. NW., Washington, DC. The telephone 
number for the Docket Center is (202) 566-1744. For additional 
information about EPA's public docket, visit www.epa.gov/dockets.
    Abstract: The affected entities are subject to the General 
Provisions of the NSPS at 40 CFR part 60, subpart A, and any changes, 
or additions to the Provisions specified at 40 CFR part 60, subpart 
OOO. Owners or operators of the affected facilities must submit initial 
notification, performance tests, and periodic reports and results. 
Owners or operators 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.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Nonmetallic mineral processing 
facilities.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 60, 
subpart OOO).
    Estimated number of respondents: 4,896 (total).
    Frequency of response: Initially and occasionally.
    Total estimated burden: 14,120 hours (per year). Burden is defined 
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $1,648,000 (per year), includes $228,000 
annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is an increase in the respondent 
burden from the most recently approved ICR. This increase is not due to 
any program changes. The previous ICR reflected burdens and costs 
associated with initial activities for subject facilities, including 
performance testing and establishing recordkeeping systems. This ICR 
accounts for the additional burden incurred by existing sources that 
must conduct five-year performance testing during this ICR period. This 
ICR also reflects an increase in the total number of respondents due to 
industry growth. The overall result is an increase in total burden 
hours and costs.
    EPA has also updated the capital/startup and O&M costs to reflect 
the additional costs incurred by existing sources that must conduct 
five year performance tests. This adjustment resulted in an overall 
increase in the total capital/startup and O&M cost.
    There is a decrease in Agency burden from the most recently 
approved ICR. The previous ICR's burden calculations largely 
overestimated the number of existing sources submitting performance 
test reports to EPA. We have adjusted the number of sources 
accordingly. This adjustment resulted in the overall decrease in the 
Agency burden.
