review and approval according to the
procedures prescribed in 5 CFR 1320.12.

Title: NESHAP for Integrated Iron and
Steel Manufacturing (Renewal).
ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number
2003.03, OMB Control Number 2060–
0517.
ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to
expire on August 31, 2006. Under OMB
regulations, the Agency may continue to
conduct or sponsor the collection of
information while this submission is
pending at OMB. 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 in title 40 of the CFR, after
appearing in the Federal Register when
approved, are listed in 40 CFR part 9,
and displayed either by publication in
the Federal Register or by other
appropriate means, such as on the
related collection instrument or form, if
applicable. The display of OMB control

Abstract: The National Emission
Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants
(NESHAP) for Integrated Iron and Steel
Manufacturing were proposed on July
13, 2001 (66 FR 36835), and
promulgated on May 20, 2003 (68 FR
27645). The proposed amendments were
published August 30, 2005 (70 FR
51306). These standards apply to new
and existing sinter plants, blast
furnaces, and basic oxygen process
furnace (BOPF) shops at integrated iron
and steel manufacturing facilities that
are major sources of hazardous air
pollutants (HAPs), or are collocated at
major sources. This information is being
collected to assure compliance with 40
CFR part 63, subpart FFFFF.
Owners and operators of affected
sources are subject to the monitoring,
recordkeeping and reporting
requirements of 40 CFR part 63, subpart
A, the General Provisions, unless
specified otherwise in the regulation.
This rule requires sources to submit
initial notifications, conduct
performance tests if source is using an
add-on control device, and submit
periodic compliance reports. In
addition, sources are required to
maintain records of the occurrence and
duration of any startup, shutdown, or
malfunction in the operation if using an
add-on control device; any period
during which the monitoring system is
inoperative; parametric monitoring data;
system maintenance and calibration;
and work practices to demonstrate

initial and ongoing compliance with the
regulation. Records of such
measurements and actions are to be
retained two years on-site of the
required total five years. All reports are
sent to the delegated state or local
authority. In the event that there is no
such delegated authority, the reports are
sent directly to the EPA regional office.
Burden Statement: The annual public
reporting and recordkeeping burden for
this collection of information is
estimated to average 419 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 which have subsequently
changed; 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:
Owners or operators of integrated iron
and steel manufacturing facilities.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
18.
Frequency of Response: On occasion,
semiannually, and initially.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:
18,421.
Estimated Total Annual Cost:
$67,000, includes O&M costs only.
Changes in the Estimates: The
increase from 4,772 hours to 18,421
hours in the annual labor burden to
industry from the most recently
approved ICR is due to adjustments. The
increase in burden from the most
recently approved ICR is due to the
assumption that respondents are in full
compliance with the rule’s periodic
requirements since the compliance date
of the rule passed. The active ICR
burden calculation was based on the
assumption that a subset of the
respondents (i.e., 6 of a total of 18
sources each year) would be
implementing the initial rule
requirements over the three year period
of the ICR, and would not have to
comply with the rule on-going
requirements since the compliance date
for the rule was not due until 3 years
after rule promulgation.
The increase from $64,000 to $67,000
in the total annualized capital and

operations and maintenance (O&M)
costs is due to the assumption that
respondents are in full compliance with
the rule on-going requirements, as
mentioned above. Even when there are
no capital and startup costs for this ICR,
the costs for operation and maintenance
for baghouses and continuous capacity
monitors increased significantly since
we are accounting such costs for all
three years of this ICR.
