ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 1894.06, OMB Control Number 2060– 0433. ICR Status: This ICR is schedule to expire on September 30, 2009. 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 numbers in certain EPA regulations is consolidated in 40 CFR part 9. Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants PO 00000 Frm 00022 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 (NESHAP) for Secondary Aluminum Production were proposed on February 11, 1999, and promulgated on March 23, 2002, with final rule amendments published on December 30, 2002. These standards apply to component processes at secondary aluminum production plants that are major sources and area sources. These sources includes aluminum scrap shredders, thermal chip dryers, scrap dryers/ delacquering kilns/decoating kilns, secondary aluminum processing units (SAPUs) composed of in-line fluxers and process furnaces (including both melting and holding furnaces of various configurations), sweat furnaces, drossonly furnaces, and rotary dross coolers, commencing construction, or reconstruction after the date of proposal. Due to a result of a rule amendment in 2002, owners and operators of certain aluminum die casting facilities, aluminum foundries, and aluminum extrusion facilities were excluded from the rule coverage. Respondents do not include the owner or operator of any facility which is not a major source of hazardous air pollutant (HAP) emissions, except for those that are area sources of dioxin/furan emissions. In general, all NESHAP standards require initial notifications, performance tests, and periodic reports. Owners or operators are also required to maintain records of the occurrence and duration of any startup, shutdown, and malfunction in the operation of an affected facility, or any period during which the monitoring system is inoperative. The notifications, reports, and records are essential in determining compliance, and are required of all sources subject to NESHAP. Semiannual reports are also required. Any owner or operator subject to the provisions of this subpart must maintain a file of these measurements, and retain the file for at least five years following the collection of such measurements, maintenance reports, and records. 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 estimated to average 29 hours per response. Burden means the total time, effort, or financial resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or disclose and 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 E:\FR\FM\12AUN1.SGM 12AUN1 40583 Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 154 / Wednesday, August 12, 2009 / Notices information, processing and maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information. All existing ways will have to adjust to comply with any previously applicable instructions and requirements that 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: Secondary aluminum production. Estimated Number of Respondents: 1,624. Frequency of Response: On occasion, initially and semiannually. Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 93,725. Estimated Total Annual Cost: $8,163,900, which includes $7,938,150 in labor costs, $84,000 in capital/startup costs, and $141,750 in operation and maintenance (O&M) costs. Changes in the Estimates: There is no change in the labor hours in this ICR as compared to the previous one. This is due to two considerations: (1) The regulations have not changed over the past three years and do not anticipate changes over the next three years; and (2) the growth rate for the industry is very low, negative or nonexistent, so there is no significant change in the overall burden. It should be noted that there is a change in the cost burden compared to the previous ICR. The change is due to minor calculation errors. This ICR reflects the corrections and updates of the labor cost figure. Dated: August 6, 2009. John Moses, Director, Collection Strategies Division. [FR Doc.

    Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air 
Pollutants (NESHAP) for Secondary Aluminum Production were proposed on 
February 11, 1999, and promulgated on March 23, 2002, with final rule 
amendments published on December 30, 2002.
    These standards apply to component processes at secondary aluminum 
production plants that are major sources and area sources. These 
sources includes aluminum scrap shredders, thermal chip dryers, scrap 
dryers/delacquering kilns/decoating kilns, secondary aluminum 
processing units (SAPUs) composed of in-line fluxers and process 
furnaces (including both melting and holding furnaces of various 
configurations), sweat furnaces, dross-only furnaces, and rotary dross 
coolers, commencing construction, or reconstruction after the date of 
proposal. Due to a result of a rule amendment in 2002, owners and 
operators of certain aluminum die casting facilities, aluminum 
foundries, and aluminum extrusion facilities were excluded from the 
rule coverage. Respondents do not include the owner or operator of any 
facility which is not a major source of hazardous air pollutant (HAP) 
emissions, except for those that are area sources of dioxin/furan 
emissions.
    In general, all NESHAP standards require initial notifications, 
performance tests, and periodic reports. Owners or operators are also 
required to maintain records of the occurrence and duration of any 
startup, shutdown, and malfunction in the operation of an affected 
facility, or any period during which the monitoring system is 
inoperative. The notifications, reports, and records are essential in 
determining compliance, and are required of all sources subject to 
NESHAP. Semiannual reports are also required.
    Any owner or operator subject to the provisions of this subpart 
must maintain a file of these measurements, and retain the file for at 
least five years following the collection of such measurements, 
maintenance reports, and records. 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 estimated to average 29 hours 
per response. Burden means the total time, effort, or financial 
resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or 
disclose and 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

information, processing and maintaining information, and disclosing and 
providing information. All existing ways will have to adjust to comply 
with any previously applicable instructions and requirements that 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: Secondary aluminum production.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 1,624.
    Frequency of Response: On occasion, initially and semiannually.
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 93,725.
    Estimated Total Annual Cost: $8,163,900, which includes $7,938,150 
in labor costs, $84,000 in capital/startup costs, and $141,750 in 
operation and maintenance (O&M) costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is no change in the labor hours in 
this ICR as compared to the previous one. This is due to two 
considerations: (1) The regulations have not changed over the past 
three years and do not anticipate changes over the next three years; 
and (2) the growth rate for the industry is very low, negative or 
nonexistent, so there is no significant change in the overall burden. 
It should be noted that there is a change in the cost burden compared 
to the previous ICR. The change is due to minor calculation errors. 
This ICR reflects the corrections and updates of the labor cost figure.
