    Abstract: The affected entities are subject to the General 
Provisions of the NESHAP (40 CFR part 63, subpart A), and any changes, 
or additions to the Provisions that are specified (40 CFR part 63, 
subpart DDD). Owners or operators of the affected facilities must 
submit initial notification reports, 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. Reports, at a 
minimum, are required semiannually.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Mineral wool production facilities.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 63, 
subpart DDD).
    Estimated number of respondents: 8 (total).
    Frequency of response: Initially and semiannually.
    Total estimated burden: 2,130 hours (per year). Burden is defined 
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $285,000 (per year), which includes $6,000 in 
either annualized capital/startup or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is an adjustment increase in burden 
due to an update to the estimated respondent universe. During 
development of the 2015 amendment, EPA estimates that 8 mineral wool 
production facilities are currently subject to the standard. There is 
also an increase in the respondent labor costs due to additional 
compliance testing requirements from the 2015 amendment.
