    Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air 
Pollutants (NESHAP) for Beryllium Rocket Motor Fuel Firing were 
promulgated on April 6, 1973, and amended on both October 17, 2000 and 
February 27, 2014. The 2014 amendment promulgated technical and 
editorial corrections for source testing of emissions and operations. 
These regulations apply to existing and new building, structure, 
facility, or installation where the static test firing of a beryllium 
rocket motor and/or the disposal of beryllium propellant is conducted. 
New facilities include those that commenced construction or 
reconstruction after the date of promulgation. Owners and operators of 
affected facilities are required to comply with reporting and 
recordkeeping requirements for the General Provisions (40 CFR part 60, 
subpart A), as well as the specific requirements at 40 CFR part 61, 
subpart D. Owners or operators of the affected facilities must submit a 
one-time only report of any physical or operational changes, initial 
performance tests, and periodic reports and results.
    Form Numbers: None.

[[Page 24785]]

    Respondents/affected entities: Owners or operators of beryllium 
rocket motor fuel firing facilities.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 61, 
subpart D).
    Estimated number of respondents: 1 (total).
    Frequency of response: Initially and occasionally.
    Total estimated burden: 9 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 
CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $997 (per year), which includes neither 
annualized capital nor operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is no change in the labor hours or 
cost in this ICR compared to the previous ICR. This is due to two 
considerations: (1) The regulations have not changed over the past 
three years and are not anticipated to change over the next three 
years; and (2) the growth rate for the industry is very low, negative 
or non-existent, so there is no significant change in the overall 
burden. Since there are no changes in the regulatory requirements and 
there is no significant industry growth, the labor hours and cost 
figures in the previous ICR are used in this ICR and there is no change 
in burden to industry.

Director, Regulatory Support Division.
