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 (NESHAP) for Iron and Steel Foundries (40 CFR part 63, subpart EEEEE) were proposed on December 12, 2002, (67 FR 78274), and promulgated on April 22, 2004, (69 FR 21905). The rule was amended on May 20, 2005 (70 FR 29400) and February 7, 2008 (73 FR 7210). Entities potentially affected by this rule are owners or operators of new and existing iron and steel foundries that are major sources of hazardous air pollutant (HAP) emissions. The rule applies to emissions from metal melting furnaces, scrap pre-heaters, pouring areas, pouring stations, automated conveyor and pallet cooling lines, automated shakeout lines, and mold and core making lines; and fugitive emissions from foundry operations. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 63, subpart EEEEE. Owners or operators of the affected facilities described must make one-timeonly notifications including: Notification of any physical or operational change to an existing facility which may increase the regulated pollutant emission rate; notification of the initial performance test, including information necessary to determine the conditions of the performance test; and performance test measurements and results. Owners or operators must maintain records of initial and subsequent compliance tests for lead compounds, and identify the date, time, cause, and corrective actions taken for all bag-leak detection alarms. Records of continuous monitoring devices, including parametric monitoring, must be maintained and reported on semiannually. Owners or operators are also required to maintain records of the occurrence and duration of any startup, shutdown, PO 00000 Frm 00041 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 or malfunction in the operation of an affected facility, or any period during which the monitoring system is inoperative. Any owner or operator subject to the provisions of this part shall maintain a file of these measurements, and retain the records for at least five years following the date of such measurements and records. These notifications, reports, and records are essential in determining compliance and are required of all affected facilities subject to the NESHAP. 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. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 63, subpart EEEEE, as authorized in sections 112 and 114(a) of the Clean Air Act. The required information consists of emissions data and other information that have been determined to be private. 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 Number for EPA regulations listed in 40 CFR part 9 and 48 CFR chapter 15 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 151 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 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: Iron and steel foundries. Estimated Number of Respondents: 98. Frequency of Response: Initially, occasionally, and semiannually. Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 29,747. Estimated Total Annual Cost: $2,919,519, which includes $2,519,459 E:\FR\FM\12MRN1.SGM 12MRN1 Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 48 / Friday, March 12, 2010 / Notices in labor costs, no capital/startup costs, and $400,060 in operation and maintenance (O&M) costs. Changes in the Estimates: There is no change in the labor hours in this ICR compared to the previous ICR. This is due to two considerations: (1) The regulations have not changed over the past three years, and are not anticipated to change over the next three years; and (2) the growth rate for the industry is very low, negative or non-existent, so there is no significant change in the overall burden. Also, there is no change in the cost burden. Since there are no changes in the regulatory requirements and there is no significant industry growth, the labor hours and cost figures in the previous ICR are used in this ICR and there is no change in burden to industry.

    ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 2096.04, OMB Control Number 2060-0543.
    ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on May 31, 2010. 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 (NESHAP) for Iron and Steel Foundries (40 CFR part 63, 
subpart EEEEE) were proposed on December 12, 2002, (67 FR 78274), and 
promulgated on April 22, 2004, (69 FR 21905). The rule was amended on 
May 20, 2005 (70 FR 29400) and February 7, 2008 (73 FR 7210). Entities 
potentially affected by this rule are owners or operators of new and 
existing iron and steel foundries that are major sources of hazardous 
air pollutant (HAP) emissions. The rule applies to emissions from metal 
melting furnaces, scrap pre-heaters, pouring areas, pouring stations, 
automated conveyor and pallet cooling lines, automated shakeout lines, 
and mold and core making lines; and fugitive emissions from foundry 
operations. This information is being collected to assure compliance 
with 40 CFR part 63, subpart EEEEE.
    Owners or operators of the affected facilities described must make 
one-time-only notifications including: Notification of any physical or 
operational change to an existing facility which may increase the 
regulated pollutant emission rate; notification of the initial 
performance test, including information necessary to determine the 
conditions of the performance test; and performance test measurements 
and results. Owners or operators must maintain records of initial and 
subsequent compliance tests for lead compounds, and identify the date, 
time, cause, and corrective actions taken for all bag-leak detection 
alarms. Records of continuous monitoring devices, including parametric 
monitoring, must be maintained and reported on semiannually.
    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. Any owner or operator subject to the 
provisions of this part shall maintain a file of these measurements, 
and retain the records for at least five years following the date of 
such measurements and records. These notifications, reports, and 
records are essential in determining compliance and are required of all 
affected facilities subject to the NESHAP.
    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. This information is being 
collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 63, subpart EEEEE, as 
authorized in sections 112 and 114(a) of the Clean Air Act. The 
required information consists of emissions data and other information 
that have been determined to be private.
    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 Number for EPA 
regulations listed in 40 CFR part 9 and 48 CFR chapter 15 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 151 
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 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: Iron and steel foundries.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 98.
    Frequency of Response: Initially, occasionally, and semiannually.
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 29,747.
    Estimated Total Annual Cost: $2,919,519, which includes $2,519,459

[[Page 11875]]

in labor costs, no capital/startup costs, and $400,060 in operation and 
maintenance (O&M) costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is no change in the labor hours in 
this ICR compared to the previous ICR. This is due to two 
considerations: (1) The regulations have not changed over the past 
three years, and are not anticipated to change over the next three 
years; and (2) the growth rate for the industry is very low, negative 
or non-existent, so there is no significant change in the overall 
burden. Also, there is no change in the cost burden. Since there are no 
changes in the regulatory requirements and there is no significant 
industry growth, the labor hours and cost figures in the previous ICR 
are used in this ICR and there is no change in burden to industry.
