Abstract: Respondents are owners or operators of rubber tire manufacturing plants which include each: under-tread cementing operation, sidewall cementing operation, tread end cementing operation, bead cementing operating, green tire spraying operation, Michelin-A operation, Michelin-B operation, and Michelin-C automatic operation. The standards require the submission of notification when conducting performance tests and periodic reporting including semiannual reports of excess emissions and annual reports of Method 24 formulation data.
Form Numbers: None.
Respondents/affected entities: Rubber tire manufacturing facilities.
Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 60, subpart BBB).
Estimated number of respondents: 41 (total).
Frequency of response: Initially, annually, and semiannually.
Total estimated burden: 17,684 hours (per year). ``Burden'' is defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
Total estimated cost: $1,746,207 (per year), includes $16,400 annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs.
Changes in the Estimates: There is an adjustment increase in the respondent burden from the most-recently approved ICR. Based on consultation comments received in development of this ICR, the frequency of occurrence for burden items ``monitoring of VOC emissions and operations'' and ``recording startup, shutdown, and malfunction'' were revised to account for 350 days per year operation, which is typical for current plant operation in the industry sector. This results in an increase in respondent burden hours and costs.
There is also a decrease of one burden hour for the Agency as a result of rounding. This ICR calculates all burden hours and costs to two decimal places and presents a more precise estimate.

Acting Director, Collection Strategies Division.
