Abstract: The New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for Rubber
Tire Manufacturing (40 CFR part 60, subpart BBB) were proposed on
January 20, 1983; promulgated on September 15, 1987; and amended on
both September 19, 1989, and October 17, 2000. These regulations apply
to both existing and new facilities with the following processes:
under-tread cementing operations, sidewall cementing operations, tread
end cementing operations, bead cementing operations, green tire
spraying operations, Michelin-A operations, Michelin-B operations, and
Michelin-C automatic operations. New facilities include those that
commenced either construction or reconstruction after the date of
proposal. Affected facilities include those that commenced either
construction, or modification, or reconstruction after January 20,
1983. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40
CFR part 60, subpart BBB.
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: Owners and operators of the rubber
tire manufacturing industry.
Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 60,
subpart BBB).
Estimated number of respondents: 41 (total).
Frequency of response: Initially, occasionally, semiannually, and
annually.
Total estimated burden: 17,700 hours (per year). Burden is defined
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
Total estimated cost: $2,150,000 (per year), which includes $18,600
in annualized capital/startup and/or operation & maintenance costs.
Changes in the Estimates: There is no change in burden from the
most recently-approved ICR as currently identified in the OMB Inventory
of Approved Burdens. 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 this industry is very low 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, there are also no changes in the capital/startup costs. There
is an increase in O&M costs due to an adjustment from 2007 to 2020
dollars using the CEPCI Equipment Cost Index.

Director, Regulatory Support Division.
