Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 219 / Tuesday, November 13, 2018 / Notices facilities. They 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. These notifications, reports, and records are essential in determining compliance with 40 CFR 63, subpart X. Form Numbers: None. Respondents/affected entities: Secondary lead smelters. Respondent’s obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 63, subpart X). Estimated number of respondents: 12 (total). Frequency of response: Initially, occasionally, semiannually and annually. Total estimated burden: 21,700 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b). Total estimated cost: $2,630,000 (per year), which includes $251,000 annualized capital/startup and/or operation & maintenance costs. Changes in the Estimates: There is an increase in the total estimated burden and the number of responses from the most recently approved ICR due to several adjustments: (1) The overall number of sources decreased; and (2) there were several missing burden line items and inaccurate assumptions that were corrected since the previous renewal. In addition, the previous renewal had not accounted for any burden for dioxin/furan testing since that burden occurs every six years, which was added to this renewal. Third, this renewal includes time for each affected facility to review rule requirements each year. There is a decrease in the O&M costs from the most recently approved ICR due to an adjustment in the number of sources. Courtney Kerwin, Director, Regulatory Support Division.
