Abstract: The New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for Asphalt
Processing and Roofing Manufacture (40 CFR part 60, subpart UU) were
promulgated on August 6, 1982, and most-recently amended on February
27, 2014. These regulations apply to both existing and new saturators
and mineral handling and asphalt storage facilities at asphalt roofing
manufacturing plants and to asphalt storage tanks and blowing stills at
asphalt processing plants, petroleum refineries, and asphalt roofing
plants. 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 UU.
Form Numbers: None.
Respondents/affected entities: Asphalt processing and asphalt
roofing manufacture facilities.
Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR 60, Subpart
UU).
Estimated number of respondents: 144 (total).
Frequency of response: Initially and semiannually.
Total estimated burden: 34,100 hours (per year). Burden is defined
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
Total estimated cost: $11,700,000 (per year), which includes
$7,430,000 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. There is a slight increase in
costs, which is wholly due to the use of updated labor rates. There is
an increase in capital/startup and/or operation & maintenance costs due
to an adjustment to increase from 2008 to 2022 dollars using the CEPCI
Equipment Cost Index.

Director, Regulatory Support Division.
