Abstract: The New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for Metallic Mineral Processing Plants (40 CFR part 60, subpart LL) apply to the following facilities at metallic mineral processing plants: Each crusher and screen at open-pit mines and each crusher, screen, bucket elevator, conveyor belt transfer point, thermal dryer, product packaging station, storage bin, enclosed storage area, and truck loading and unloading station at mills or concentrators commencing construction, modification or reconstruction after the date of proposal. The NSPS does not apply to facilities located in underground mines or uranium ore beneficiation processing plants. In general, all NSPS standards require initial notifications, performance tests, and periodic reports by the owners/ operators of the affected 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 part 60, subpart LL. Form numbers: None. Respondents/affected entities: Metallic mineral processing plants. Respondent’s obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 60, subpart LL). Estimated number of respondents: 20 (total). Frequency of response: Initially, occasionally, and semiannually. VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:51 Dec 10, 2018 Jkt 247001 63637 Total estimated burden: 2,330 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b). Total estimated cost: $268,000 (per year), which includes $13,000 in annualized capital/startup and/or operation & maintenance costs. Changes in the Estimates: There is an adjustment increase of 24 labor hours due to a change in assumption. This ICR assumes all existing sources will spend time each year to re-familiarize with the regulations. There are no other changes in burden 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.
