Abstract: The New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for Hot Mix
Asphalt Facilities (40 CFR part 60, subpart I) were on proposed on June
11, 1973; promulgated on July 25, 1977; and most-recently amended on
February 14, 1989. These regulations apply to hot mix asphalt
facilities that commenced construction or modification after June 11,
1973. A hot mix asphalt facility is comprised only of any combination
of the following: dryers; systems for screening, handling, storing, and
weighing hot aggregate; systems for loading, transferring, and storing
mineral filler; systems for mixing hot mix asphalt; and the loading,
transfer, and storage systems associated with emission control systems.
This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR
part 60, subpart I.
Form Numbers: None.
Respondents/affected entities: Hot mix asphalt facilities.
Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 60,
subpart I).
Estimated number of respondents: 798 (total).
Frequency of response: Initially and occasionally.
Total estimated burden: 3,200 hours (per year). Burden is defined
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
Total estimated cost: $404,000 (per year). There are no annualized
capital or operation & maintenance costs.
Changes in the estimates: There is a decrease in the total
estimated burden as currently identified in the OMB Inventory of
Approved Burdens. This adjustment is due to a decrease in the number of
sources. The estimates in the current approved ICR were based on
estimates collected in 2008 and adjusted for growth over time. This ICR
adjusts the number of respondents based on a review of facilities
identified in EPA's ECHO database, which is the most recent source of
facility information available for hot mix asphalt facilities.

Director, Information Engagement Division.
