Respondent’s Obligation to Respond: Required to obtain or retain a benefit per 40 CFR 33, Subpart B and 40 CFR 33, Subpart E. Estimated Number of Respondents: 1,865 (total). Frequency of Response: Certification: On occasion. Total Estimated Burden: 11,614 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.03(b) Total Estimated Cost: $372,817.43 (per year), includes $0 annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs. Changes in the Estimates: There is an increase of $10,104 in the total estimated cost which reflects updated wage rates as determined by the Department of Labor. There are no changes to the total estimated respondent burden. EPA is currently performing a comprehensive review of the DBE Rule which is scheduled to be completed by September 30, 2015. The ICR will be revised in accordance with lessons learned from this review with a focus on maximizing practical utility and minimizing public burden associated with collection.

Abstract: The NESHAP for Iron and Steel Foundry Area Sources applies to either owners or operators of any existing or new iron or steel foundry that is an area source of hazardous air pollutant (HAP) emissions. Research and development facilities are not covered by the rule. Foundries covered by the rule would not be required to obtain a Title V operating permit. Small iron and steel foundries are required to comply with pollution prevention management practices for scrap materials, the removal of mercury switches, and binder formulations. Large iron and steel foundries are required to comply with the same pollution prevention management practices as small foundries in addition to emissions limitations for melting furnaces and foundry operations. Owners or operators must submit an initial notification report that the facility is subject to the rule, notification of performance test, notification of compliance status (including results of performance tests and other initial compliance demonstrations), and the semiannual compliance report. Form Numbers: None. Respondents/affected entities: Iron and steel foundries. Respondent’s obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 63, subpart ZZZZZ). Estimated number of respondents: 427 (total). Frequency of response: Initially, occasionally and semiannually. Total estimated burden: 7,893 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).

Abstract: The NESHAP is applicable to primary lead processing facilities that are engaged in the production of lead metal from lead sulfide ore concentrate. The final amendment establishes new emission limits, revises testing, reporting, and recordkeeping requirements. Sources subject to the NESHAP are required to comply with the stack testing, monitoring, reporting, and recordkeeping requirements of the standard. Form Numbers: None. Respondents/affected entities: Owners and operators of primary lead smelting facilities. Respondent’s obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 63, subpart TTT). Estimated number of respondents: 1 (total). Frequency of response: Initially, quarterly and semiannually. Total estimated burden: 6,265 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b). Total estimated cost: $782,379 (per year), includes $169,000 annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs. Changes in the Estimates: There is an overall decrease in the respondent and Agency burden and cost from the OMB Inventory of Approved Burdens. The currently approved burden is the cumulative burden and cost from EPA PO 00000 Frm 00046 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 10089 ICR Number 1856.06 (existing rule) and EPA ICR Number 1856.08 (2011 amendment). In this ICR renewal, we have combined the two ICRs to reflect current rule requirements and removed duplicate items. In addition, this ICR renewal reflects a decrease in the number of respondents from two to one since EPA ICR Number 1856.06. We have assumed that there are an estimated one respondent subject to NSPS Subpart TTT since rule is still in effect. These changes result in an apparent decrease in labor hours and costs.
