    Title: NESHAP for Secondary Aluminum Production (Renewal) .
    ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 1894.07, OMB Control Number 2060-0433.
    ICR Status: This ICR is schedule to expire on November 30, 2012. 
Under OMB regulations, the Agency may continue to conduct or sponsor 
the collection of information while this submission is pending at OMB.
    Abstract: The affected entities are subject to the General 
Provisions of the NESHAP at 40 CFR part 63, subpart A, and any changes, 
or additions to the Provisions specified at 40 CFR part 63, subpart 
RRR. Owners or operators of the affected facilities must submit a one-
time-only report of any physical or operational changes, initial 
performance tests, and periodic reports and results. 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. Reports are also required semiannually.
    Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping 
burden for this collection of information estimated to average 28 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: Secondary aluminum production 
facilities.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 1,834.
    Frequency of Response: Initially, occasionally, and semiannually.
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 101,856.
    Estimated Total Annual Cost: $10,088,531, which includes $9,862,781 
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 an adjustment increase in the 
total estimated burden as currently identified in the OMB Inventory of 
Approved Burdens. This increase is not due to any program changes. The 
change in the burden and cost estimates occurred because the estimated 
average number of annual respondents has increased. Additionally, the 
revised burden and cost estimates reflect updated labors rates 
available from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
