Abstract: Owners and operators of friction materials manufacturing facilities are required to comply with reporting and record keeping requirements for the General Provisions (40 CFR part 63, subpart A), as well as for the applicable specific standards in 40 CFR part 63 subpart QQQQQ. This includes submitting initial notifications, periodic reports and results, and maintaining records of any period during which the monitoring system is inoperative. These reports are used by the EPA to determine compliance with these standards.
Form Numbers: None.
Respondents/affected entities: Friction materials manufacturing facilities.
Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 63, subpart QQQQQ).
Estimated number of respondents: 2 (total).
Frequency of response: Semiannually.
Total estimated burden: 534 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
Total estimated cost: $63,700 (per year), which includes $544 in annualized capital/startup and/or operation & maintenance costs.
Changes in the Estimates: There is a decrease in burden from the most-recently approved ICR as currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved Burdens. The regulations were revised in 2019 (84 FR 2742) in the previous ICR (2025.09) to remove SSM plan and reporting requirements and revise reporting requirements for deviations. However, the reduction in burden in ICR 2025.09 is due to the removal of SSM requirements that were not calculated correctly. The frequency of recordkeeping for `Copies of notifications/reports' and `Time to transmit or disclose information' should have been reduced from five per year to three per year to reflect the removal of two submittals for the SSM plan. That error has been corrected in this ICR (2025.10). The growth rate for this industry is very low or non-existent. Since the changes in the regulatory requirements did not require new monitoring or equipment, and there is no significant industry growth, there are also no changes in the capital/startup or operation and maintenance (O&M) costs.

Director, Regulatory Support Division.
