Title: NESHAP for Coke Oven
Batteries (Renewal).
Abstract: The National Emissions
Standards for Coke Oven Batteries were
proposed on December 4, 1992, and
promulgated on October 27, 1993. These
standards apply to all coke oven
batteries, whether existing, new,
reconstructed, rebuilt or restarted. It
also applies to all batteries using the
conventional by-product recovery, the
nonrecovery process, or any new
recovery process. Under this rule, all
existing batteries must choose a
compliance track. Two compliance
approaches are available under the rule:
the ‘‘MACT (Maximum Achievable
Control Technology) track,’’ and the
‘‘LAER (Lowest Achievable Emission
Rate) extension track,’’ and straddling
both tracks (until January 1, 1998).
Applicability dates vary depending on
the emission limitation the affected
facility is subject to. This information is
being collected to assure compliance
with 40 CFR part 63, subpart L.
Owners or operators of coke oven
batteries, whether existing, new,
reconstructed, rebuilt or restarted, are
required to comply with monitoring,
recordkeeping and reporting
requirements. Owners or operators of
the affected facilities described must
make one-time-only notifications to
elect a compliance track and to certify
initial compliance. Owners or operators
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. Monitoring

requirements specific to coke oven
batteries provide information on the
operation of the emissions control
device and compliance with the visible
emissions standard. Semiannual reports
of compliance certifications are
required. These notifications, reports,
and records will be used by EPA and
states to: (1) Identify batteries subject to
the standards; (2) ensure that MACT and
LAER are properly applied; and (3)
ensure that daily monitoring and work
practice requirements are implemented
as required.
An agency may not conduct or
sponsor, and a person is not required to
respond to, a collection of information
unless it displays a currently valid OMB
Control Number. The OMB Control
Numbers for EPA’s regulations are listed
in 40 CFR part 9 and 48 CFR chapter 15,
and are identified on the form and/or
instrument, if applicable.
Burden Statement: The annual public
reporting and recordkeeping burden for
this collection of information is
estimated to average 1,754 hours per
response. Burden means the total time,
effort, or financial resources expended
by persons to generate, maintain, retain,
or disclose or provide information to or
for a Federal agency. This includes the
time needed to review instructions;
develop, acquire, install, and utilize
technology and systems for the purposes
of collecting, validating, and verifying
information, processing and
maintaining information, and disclosing
and providing information; adjust the
existing ways to comply with any
previously applicable instructions and
requirements; train personnel to be able
to respond to a collection of
information; search data sources;
complete and review the collection of
information; and transmit or otherwise
disclose the information.
Respondents/Affected Entities: Plants
with coke oven batteries using the
conventional by-product recovery, the
nonrecovery process, or any new
recovery process.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
19.
Frequency of Response: Initial,
semiannual, and on occasion.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:
78,938 hours.
Estimated Annual Costs: $6,302,094,
which includes $0 in Operations and
Maintenance costs, $0 in Capital
Expense, and $6,302,094 in Respondent
Labor costs.
Changes in the Estimates: There is a
decrease of 25,721 hours in the total
estimated burden currently identified in
the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR
Burdens. This decrease in burden from
the most recently approved ICR is due
PO 00000
Frm 00029
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
29743
to a decrease in the number of plants
with coke oven batteries. However,
there was an estimated cost increase due
to an increase in labor rates. There were
no capital/startup and operation and
maintenance costs associated with
continuous emission monitoring for the
renewal of the ICR, therefore, there is no
change in this burden category.
Dated: May 10, 2005.

line on the first page of your comment. Please ensure that your
comments are submitted within the specified comment period.
1. Electronically. If you submit an electronic comment as
prescribed below, EPA recommends that you include your name, mailing
address, and an e-mail address or other contact information in the body
of your comment. Also include this contact information on the outside
of any disk or CD ROM you submit, and in any cover letter accompanying
the disk or CD ROM. This ensures that you can be identified as the
submitter of the comment, and it allows EPA to contact you if further
information on the substance of the comment is needed or if your
comment cannot be read due to technical difficulties. EPA's policy is
that EPA will not edit your comment, and any identifying or contact
information provided in the body of a comment will be included as part
of the comment placed in the official public docket and made available
in EPA's electronic public docket. If EPA cannot read your comment due
to technical difficulties and cannot contact you for clarification, EPA
may not be able to consider your comment.
i. EDOCKET. Your use of EPA's electronic public docket to submit
comments to EPA electronically is EPA's preferred method for receiving
comments. Go directly to EDOCKET at https://www.epa.gov/edocket/, and
follow the online instructions for submitting comments. To access EPA's
electronic public docket from the EPA Internet home page, https://
www.epa.gov,
[[Page 29745]]
select ``Information Sources,'' ``Dockets,'' and ``EDOCKET.'' Once in
the system, select ``search,'' and then key in Docket ID No. OW-2004-
0041. The system is an anonymous access system, which means EPA will
not know your identity, e-mail address, or other contact information
unless you provide it in the body of your comment.
ii. E-mail. Comments may be sent by electronic mail (e-mail) to
OW.Docket@epa.gov, Attention Docket ID No. OW-2004-0041. In contrast to
EPA's electronic public docket, EPA's e-mail system is not an anonymous
access system. If you send an e-mail comment directly to the docket
without going through EPA's electronic public docket, EPA's e-mail
system automatically captures your e-mail address. E-mail addresses
that are automatically captured by EPA's e-mail system are included as
part of the comment that is placed in the official public docket, and
made available in EPA's electronic public docket.
iii. Disk or CD ROM. You may submit comments on a disk or CD ROM
mailed to the mailing address identified in section I.B.2 of this
notice. These electronic submissions will be accepted in Word,
WordPerfect or rich text files. Avoid the use of special characters and
any form of encryption.
2. By Mail. Send your comments to: U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency, OW Docket, EPA Docket Center (EPA/DC), Mailcode: 28221T, 1200
Pennsylvania Ave., NW., Washington, DC, 20460, Attention Docket ID No.
OW-2004-0041.
3. By Hand Delivery or Courier. Deliver your comments to: EPA
Docket Center (EPA/DC), Room B102, EPA West Building, 1301 Constitution
Avenue, NW., Washington, DC, Attention Docket ID No. OW-2004-0041
(note: this is not a mailing address). Such deliveries are only
accepted during the docket's normal hours of operation as identified in
section I.A.1 of this notice.
Dated: May 18, 2005.
