Abstract: The New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for Glass
Manufacturing Plants (40 CFR part 60, subpart CC) were proposed on June
15, 1979; promulgated on October 7, 1980; and amended on both October
19, 1984 and October 17, 2000. These regulations apply to both existing
and new glass melting furnaces located at glass manufacturing plants.
New facilities include those that either commenced construction, or
modification, or reconstruction after the date of proposal. This
information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part
60, subpart CC.
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 the NSPS.
Form Numbers: None.
Respondents/affected entities: Glass melting furnaces located at
glass manufacturing plants.
Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 60,
subpart CC).
Estimated number of respondents: 41 (total).
Frequency of response: Initially, occasionally, and semiannually.
Total estimated burden: 850 hours (per year). Burden is defined at
5 CFR 1320.3(b).
Total estimated cost: $444,000 (per year), which includes $337,000
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 an increase in operation & maintenance costs due to an
adjustment to increase from 2008 to 2022 $ using the CEPCI Equipment
Cost Index.

Director, Information Engagement Division.
