Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Integrated Iron and Steel Manufacturing Facilities (40 CFR part 63, subpart FFFFF) apply to new and existing sinter plants, blast furnaces, and basic oxygen process furnace shops at integrated iron and steel manufacturing facilities that are major sources of hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) or are co-located at major sources. New facilities include those that commenced either 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, and are required of all affected facilities subject to NESHAP. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 63, subpart FFFFF. Form Numbers: None. Respondents/affected entities: Owners or operators of integrated iron and steel manufacturing facilities. Respondent’s obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR 63, Subpart FFFFF). Estimated number of respondents: 12 (total). Frequency of response: Initially, occasionally, and semiannually. Total estimated burden: 11,800 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b). Total estimated cost: $1,390,000 (per year), which includes $52,700 in annualized capital/startup and/or operation & maintenance costs. Changes in the Estimates: There is a decrease in burden from the most- VerDate Sep<11>2014 16:53 Mar 14, 2019 Jkt 247001 recently approved ICR. The decrease in burden is due to a decrease in the number of respondents due to more accurate estimates of existing and anticipated new sources. The decrease in the number of sources also results in a decrease in the operation and maintenance costs. The overall result is a decrease in burden hours and costs.

promulgated under CWA section 312 for vessels of the Armed forces if 
there is significant new information that could reasonably result in a 
change to the discharge determination or standard. This ICR addresses 
the information requirements associated with the establishment of an 
UNDS NDZ for a particular discharge from a vessel of the Armed Forces 
in addition to the information requirements associated with a request 
to the EPA and DoD to review a discharge determination or standard. 
UNDS NDZs for a particular discharge from a vessel of the Armed Forces 
cannot be requested or established until after the EPA and DoD 
promulgate vessel discharge performance standards for marine pollution 
control devices for that particular discharge and DoD promulgates the 
corresponding regulations governing the design, construction,

collection of information are required for a state to obtain a sewage 
NDZ (CWA section 312(f)) and required to obtain an UNDS NDZ or a review 
of an UNDS discharge determination or standard (CWA section 312(n)).
    Estimated number of respondents:13 (total).
    Frequency of response: One time.
    Total estimated burden: 914 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 
5 CFR 1320.03(b).
    Total estimated cost: $12,501 (per year), includes $848 annualized 
capital or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is a decrease of 169 hours in the 
total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently 
approved by OMB. This estimated decrease is attributable to a downward 
adjustment in the estimated number of anticipated total actions during 
the upcoming 3-year period.
