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. First, the regulations have not changed over the past three years and are not anticipated to change over the next three years. Secondly, the growth rate for the industry is very low, negative or nonexistent, so there is no significant change in the overall burden. There is an adjustment increase in labor costs; the increase is due to updated labor rates, which increases the hourly labor cost. There are no capital or operating and maintenance costs associated with this rule. Courtney Kerwin, Director, Regulatory Support Division.

Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for the regulations published at 40 CFR part 63, subpart IIIII were proposed on July 3, 2002, and promulgated on December 19, 2003. These regulations apply to existing facilities and new facilities that are mercury cell chlor-alkali plants part of a major source of hazardous air pollutant (HAP) emissions or part of an area source of HAP emissions. A major source of HAP is one that has the potential to emit 10 tons or more of any HAP or 25 tons or more of total HAP per year; an area source is one with a potential to emit less than this. New facilities include those that commenced construction, modification or reconstruction after the date of proposal. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 63, subpart IIIII. ADDRESSES: PO 00000 Frm 00051 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 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. Form Numbers: None. Respondents/affected entities: Mercury cell chlor-alkali plants. Respondent’s obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 63, subpart IIIII). Estimated number of respondents: 2 (total). Frequency of response: Initially and semiannually. Total estimated burden: 3,760 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b). Total estimated cost: $444,000 (per year), includes $16,400 annualized capital 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. First, the regulations have not changed over the past three years and are not anticipated to change over the next three years. Secondly, the growth rate for the industry is very low, negative or nonexistent, so there is no significant change in the overall burden. There is an adjustment increase in the total costs as due to the use of updated labor rates. There was no change in the capital or operation and maintenance costs.

This increase is not due to any program changes. The adjustment increase in burden from the most recently approved ICR is due to an increase in the number of sources. Three sources that have been idle have restarted operations. There is no change in capital/startup costs compared with PO 00000 Frm 00052 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 18283 the costs in the previous ICR, as there are no new sources subject to initial startup requirements. The change in the operation and maintenance (O&M) costs compared with the costs in the previous ICR are due to the three existing plants that were idle becoming operational.

    Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air 
Pollutants (NESHAP) for the regulations published at 40 CFR part 63, 
subpart RRRRR were proposed on December 18, 2002, promulgated on 
October 30, 2003, and amended on April 20, 2006. These regulations 
apply to existing facilities and new taconite iron ore processing 
facilities that emit or have the potential to emit a single hazardous 
air pollutant (HAP) at a rate of 10 tons or more per year or any 
combination of HAPs at a rate of 25 tons or more per year. The affected 
sources are ore crushing and handling operations, ore dryers, 
indurating furnaces, finished pellet handling emission units, and 
fugitive dust emissions. New facilities include those that commenced 
construction or reconstruction after the date of proposal. This 
information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 
63, subpart RRRRR.
    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.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Taconite iron ore processing 
facilities.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 63 
subpart RRRRR).
    Estimated number of respondents: 7 (total).
    Frequency of response: Initially, occasionally, and semiannually.
    Total estimated burden: 483 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 
5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $576,000 (per year), includes $521,000 
annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is an adjustment increase in the 
total estimated burden as currently identified in the OMB Inventory of 
Approved Burdens. This increase is not due to any program changes. The 
adjustment increase in burden from the most recently approved ICR is 
due to an increase in the number of sources. Three sources that have 
been idle have restarted operations. There is no change in capital/
startup costs compared with the costs in the previous ICR, as there are 
no new sources subject to initial startup requirements. The change in 
the operation and maintenance (O&M) costs compared with the costs in 
the previous ICR are due to the three existing plants that were idle 
becoming operational.
