Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Mercury (40 CFR part 61, subpart E) apply to the new and existing facilities which process mercury ore to recover mercury, use mercury chloralkali cells to produce chlorine gas and alkali metal hydroxide, and incinerate VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:52 Feb 27, 2019 Jkt 247001 6781 or dry wastewater treatment plant sludge. 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 61, subpart E. Form Numbers: None. Respondents/affected entities: Mercury ore processing facilities, mercury cell chlor-alkali plants, sludge incineration plants, and sludge drying plants. Respondent’s obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 61, subpart E). Estimated number of respondents: 107 (total). Frequency of response: Initially, occasionally, semiannually and annually. Total estimated burden: 20,600 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b). Total estimated cost: $2,260,000 (per year), which includes $00.00 for annualized capital/startup and/or operation & maintenance costs. Changes in the estimates: There is no change in the 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. meeting.

Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Steel Pickling, HCl Process Facilities and Hydrochloric Acid Regeneration Plants (40 CFR part 63, subpart CCC) applies to all facilities that pickle steel using hydrochloric acid (HCl) or regenerate hydrochloric acid and are either major sources or part of a facility that is a major source. This regulation does not apply to any pickling line that uses an acid other than hydrochloric acid or an acid solution containing either less than 6 percent hydrochloric acid or at a temperature less than 100 °F. 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.

    Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air 
Pollutants (NESHAP) for Steel Pickling, HCl Process Facilities and 
Hydrochloric Acid Regeneration Plants (40 CFR part 63, subpart CCC) 
applies to all facilities that pickle steel using hydrochloric acid 
(HCl) or regenerate hydrochloric acid and are either major sources or

acid or an acid solution containing either less than 6 percent

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

    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory.
    Estimated number of respondents: 100 (total).
