Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air
Pollutants (NESHAP) for the regulations published at 40 CFR part 63,
subpart JJJJJ were proposed on July 22, 2002, promulgated on May 16,
2003, and most recently amended on October 26, 2015 and December 4,
2015. These regulations apply to existing facilities and new facilities
that manufacture brick, including face brick, structural brick, brick
pavers, or other brick and/or structural clay products including clay
pipe; roof tile; extruded floor and wall tile; or other extruded,
dimensional clay products. 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 63, subpart JJJJJ.
Form Numbers: None.
Respondents/affected entities: Brick and structural clay products
manufacturing facilities.
[[Page 10918]]
Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 63,
subpart JJJJJ).
Estimated number of respondents: 57 (total).
Frequency of response: Initially and semiannually.
Total estimated burden: 33,373 hours (per year). Burden is defined
at 5 CFR 1320.03(b).
Total estimated cost: $4,880,000 (per year), which includes
$673,000 annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs.
Changes in the estimates: There is an increase of 12,410 hours in
the total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently
approved by OMB. This increase is due to the standard being in effect
for more than three years and the requirements are different during
initial compliance as compared to on-going compliance. The previous ICR
reflected the average burden and costs associated with the first three
years after the 2015 final rulemaking. This included minimal activities
in years one and two following promulgation, with increasing burden for
years three through six. This ICR, by in large, reflects the on-going
burden and costs for existing facilities, which are expected to be
similar to the burden and costs estimated for year six in the previous
ICR. The increase in burden and costs is offset somewhat by a decrease
in the number of respondents from 69 to 57 existing sources. The
overall result is an increase in burden hours and costs.

Director, Information Engagement Division.
