Abstract: The New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for NSPS for Magnetic Tape Coating Facilities (40 CFR part 60, subpart SSS) apply to each new and existing coating operation and coating mixing equipment at magnetic tape coating facilities for which construction, modification, or reconstruction began after January 22, 1986. 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 60, subpart SSS. In general, all NSPS standards require initial notifications, performance tests, PO 00000 Frm 00069 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 64521 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 NSPS. Form Numbers: None. Respondents/affected entities: Magnetic tape coating facilities. Respondent’s obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 60, subpart SSS). Estimated number of respondents: 6 (total). Frequency of response: Initially, quarterly, and semiannually. Total estimated burden: 2,030 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b). Total estimated cost: $321,000 (per year), includes $86,400 in annualized capital and/or operation & maintenance costs. Changes in the Estimates: There is no change in the labor hours 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. Courtney Kerwin, Director, Regulatory Support Division.

    Abstract: The NSPS for Secondary Brass and Bronze Production (40 
CFR part 60, subpart M) apply to existing facilities and new facilities 
that commence construction or modification after June 11, 1973. These 
standards apply to the following facilities in secondary brass or 
bronze production plants: Reverberatory and electric furnaces of 1,000 
kg or greater production capacity and blast (cupola) furnaces of 250 
kg/hr or greater production capacity. Furnaces from which molten brass 
or bronze are cast into the shape of finished products, such as foundry 
furnaces, are not considered to be affected facilities. New facilities 
include those that commenced construction, modification or

Smelters (40 CFR part 60, subpart P) apply to existing facilities and 
new facilities that commence construction or modification after October 
16, 1974. These standards apply to the following facilities in primary 
copper smelters: Dryer, roaster, smelting furnace, and copper 
converter. The NSPS for Primary Zinc Smelters (40 CFR part 60, subpart 
Q) apply to existing facilities and new facilities that commence 
construction or modification after October 16, 1974. These standards 
apply to the following facilities in primary zinc smelters: Roaster and 
sintering machines. The NSPS for Primary Lead Smelters (40 CFR part 60, 
subpart R) apply to existing facilities and new facilities that 
commence construction or modification after October 16, 1974. These 
standards apply to the following facilities in primary lead smelters: 
Sintering machine, sintering machine discharge end, blast furnace, 
dross reverberatory furnace, electric smelting furnace, and converter. 
The NSPS for Primary Aluminum Reduction Plants (40 CFR part 60, subpart 
S) apply to existing facilities and new facilities that commence 
construction or modification after October 23, 1974. The NSPS for 
Ferroalloy Production Facilities (40 CFR part 60, subpart Z) apply to 
existing facilities and new facilities that commence construction or 
modification after October 21, 1974. These standards apply to the 
following facilities in ferroalloy production plants: Electric 
submerged arc furnaces which produce silicon metal, ferrosilicon, 
calcium silicon, silicomanganese zirconium, ferrochrome silicon, 
silvery iron, high-carbon ferrochrome, charge chrome, standard 
ferromanganese, silicomanganese, ferromanganese silicon, or calcium 
carbide; and dust-handling equipment.
    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, and are required of 
all affected facilities subject to NSPS.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Secondary Brass/Bronze Production 
(40 CFR part 60, subpart M), Primary Copper Smelters (40 CFR part 60, 
subpart P), Primary Zinc Smelters (40 CFR part 60, subpart Q), Primary 
Lead Smelters (40 CFR part 60, subpart R), Primary Aluminum Reduction 
Plants (40 CFR part 60, subpart S), and Ferroalloy Production 
Facilities (40 CFR part 60, subpart Z).
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory, 40 CFR part 60.
    Estimated number of respondents: 18 (total).
    Frequency of response: Initially, monthly, semiannually and 
annually.
    Total estimated burden: 3,880 hours (per year). Burden is defined 
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $576,000 (per year), which includes $127,000 
in annualized capital and/or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is no change in the labor hours 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 non-existent, so there is no significant change in the overall 
burden. There is an adjustment increase in the labor burden in this ICR 
compared to the previous ICR due to the increase in labor costs over 
the past three years.
