Abstract: The NESHAP for Ferroalloys Production: Ferromanganese and Silicomanganese applies to new and existing ferroalloy production facilities that manufacture ferromanganese and silicomanganese, and that are either major sources of hazardous air pollutant (HAP) emissions or are co-located at major sources of HAPs. The following affected facilities at ferroalloy production plants are subject to this NESHAP rule: Submerged arc furnaces; metal oxygen refining processes; crushing and screening operations; and fugitive dust sources. New facilities include those that commenced construction or reconstruction after the date of proposal. In general, all NESHAP 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 63, subpart XXX. Form numbers: None. Respondents/affected entities: Ferroalloy production facilities. Respondent’s obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 63, subpart XXX). VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:51 Dec 10, 2018 Jkt 247001 Estimated number of respondents: 2 (total). Frequency of response: Initially, quarterly, semiannually, and annually. Total estimated burden: 1,170 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b). Total estimated cost: $133,000 (per year); there are no annualized capital/ startup and operation & maintenance costs. Changes in the estimates: There is an increase in the total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently-approved by OMB. The adjustment increase in burden is due to more accurate estimates of existing and anticipated new sources, as identified during the development of the final rule amendments.

Changes in the estimates: There is a decrease in the total capital/startup cost and O&M cost due to a correction. This ICR corrects an error in the capital/ startup cost calculation in the previous ICR, as existing sources are not expected to incur capital/startup costs associated with purchasing PRD electronic indicators. There is also a small adjustment increase in the estimated labor hours due to a change in assumption. This ICR assumes all existing sources will take some time to re-familiarize with the regulations each year. Courtney Kerwin, Director, Regulatory Support Division.

Nature and Extent of Confidentiality: There is no need for confidentiality with this collection of information. PO 00000 Frm 00029 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 Privacy Act Assessment: The Commission prepared a system of records notice (SORN), FCC/MB–2, ‘‘Broadcast Station Public Inspection Files,’’ that covers the PII contained in the broadcast station public inspection files located on the Commission’s website. The Commission will revise appropriate privacy requirements as necessary to include any entities and information added to the online public file in this proceeding. Needs and Uses: In 2012, the Commission replaced the decades-old requirement that commercial and noncommercial television stations maintain public files at their main studios with a requirement to post most of the documents in those files to a central, online public file hosted by the Commission. On January 28, 2016, the Commission adopted a Report and Order (‘‘R&O’’) in MB Docket No. 14– 127, FCC 16–4, In the Matter of Expansion of Online Public File Obligations to Cable and Satellite TV Operators and Broadcast and Satellite Radio Licensees, expanding the requirement that public inspection files be posted to the FCC-hosted online public file database to satellite TV (also referred to as ‘‘Direct Broadcast Satellite’’ or ‘‘DBS’’) providers and to satellite radio (also referred to as ‘‘satellite Digital Audio Radio Services’’ or ‘‘SDARS’’) licensees, among other entities. The Commission stated that its goal is to make information that these entities are already required to make publicly available more accessible while also reducing costs both for the government and the public sector. The Commission took the same general approach to transitioning these entities to the online file that it took with television broadcasters in 2012, tailoring the requirements as necessary to the different services. The Commission also took similar measures to minimize the effort and cost entities must undertake to move their public files online. Specifically, the Commission required entities to upload to the online public file only documents that are not already on file with the Commission or that the Commission maintains in its own database. The Commission also exempted existing political file material from the online file requirement and required that political file documents be uploaded only on a going-forward basis. The Commission first adopted a public inspection file requirement for broadcasters more than 40 years ago. The public file requirement grew out of Congress’ 1960 amendment of Sections 309 and 311 of the Communications Act of 1934.
