The display of OMB control numbers in certain EPA regulations is consolidated in 40 CFR part 9. Abstract: The affected entities are subject to the General Provisions of the NSPS at 40 CFR part 60, subpart A and any changes, or additions to the Provisions specified at 40 CFR part 60, subparts M, P, Q, R, S and Z. Owners or operators of the affected facilities must make an initial notification, performance tests, periodic reports, and 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. Reports, at a minimum, are required semiannually. Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 100.5 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 secondary brass and bronze production facilities, primary copper smelters, primary zinc smelters, primary lead smelters, primary aluminum reduction plants, and ferroalloy production facilities. Estimated Number of Respondents: 18. Frequency of Response: Initially, occasionally, semiannually, and annually. Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 4,923. Estimated Total Annual Cost: $597,254, which includes $465,654 in labor costs, $0 in capital/startup costs, and $131,600 in operation and maintenance (O&M) costs. Changes in the Estimates: There is an increase in the number of hours and responses in the total estimated burden currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR Burdens. The burden increase of 9 hours is due VerDate Mar<15>2010 17:09 Jul 07, 2010 Jkt 220001 to the adjustment of number of responses associated with the semiannual reports for Ferroalloy Production Facilities. The number of responses for Ferroalloy Production Facilities was correct when accounting for the total annual responses, and thus did not affect the total number of responses, but was incorrect in the calculation of burden hours. The total number of responses increased from 29 to 49 due to an adjustment of the number of reports for Primary Aluminum Reduction Plants in the total annual responses calculation. The change did not affect the calculations of burden hours. Dated: July 1, 2010. John Moses, Director, Collection Strategies Division.
