Abstract: The New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for Magnetic
Tape Coating Facilities (40 CFR part 60, subpart SSS) were proposed on
January 22, 1986; promulgated on October 3, 1988; and most-recently
amended on February 12, 1999. These regulations apply to both existing
and new coating operation and coating mixing equipment at magnetic tape
coating facilities. New facilities include those that commenced
construction, modification, or reconstruction after the date of
proposal. This information is being collected to assure compliance with
40 CFR part 60, subpart SSS.
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.
Form Numbers: None.
Respondents/affected entities: Magnetic tape coating facilities.
Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 60,
subpart SSS).
Estimated number of respondents: 4 (total).
Frequency of response: Initially, quarterly, and semiannually.
Total estimated burden: 811 hours (per year). Burden is defined at
5 CFR 1320.3(b).
Total estimated cost: $132,000 (per year), which includes $34,900
in annualized capital/startup and/or operation & maintenance costs.
Changes in the Estimates: The decrease in burden from the most-
recently approved ICR is due to an adjustment(s). The adjustment
decrease in burden from the most-recently approved ICR is due to a
decrease in the number of sources. The number of respondents decreased
by approximately 33%. The adjustment decrease in the number of
respondents is due to a review of the EPA's Enforcement and Compliance
History Online (ECHO) database, a list of
[[Page 72484]]
facilities from a 2003 EPA Residual Risk Analysis, and facility
permits. Additionally, the previous ICR included capital/startup costs
in the estimated burden due to the addition of new coating lines to
existing facilities. For the next three years, we do not expect new
coating lines to be added, but the existing continuous monitoring
equipment are expected to have O&M costs.

Director, Regulatory Support Division.
