Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Primary Lead Smelting apply to existing and new facilities engaged in producing lead metal from ore concentrates. The category includes, but is not limited to, the following smelting processes: Sintering, reduction, preliminary treatment, refining and casting operations, process fugitive sources, and fugitive dust sources. Owners and operators of primary lead smelting facilities are required to comply with reporting and record keeping requirements for the general provisions of 40 CFR part 63, subpart A, as well as the applicable specific standards in 40 CFR part 63 subpart TTT. In general, all NESHAP standards require initial notifications, performance tests, and periodic reports E:\FR\FM\14OCN1.SGM 14OCN1 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 196 / Thursday, October 14, 2021 / Notices 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 TTT. Form Numbers: None. Respondents/affected entities: Primary lead smelters. Respondent’s obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 63, subpart TTT). Estimated number of respondents: 1 (total). Frequency of response: Quarterly and semiannually. Total estimated burden: 6,270 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b). Total estimated cost: $912,000 (per year), which includes $169,000 in annualized capital/startup and/or operation & maintenance costs. Changes in the Estimates: There is no change in burden from the mostrecently approved ICR as currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved Burdens. This situation is due to two considerations: (1) The regulations have not changed significantly over the past three years and are not anticipated to change significantly over the next three years; and (2) the growth rate for this industry is very low or non-existent, so there is no significant change in the overall burden. While there are not currently any primary lead smelters operating in the U.S. and no new facilities are being planned, this ICR continues to assume an average of one existing respondent for the purpose of estimating burden. Since there are no significant changes in the regulatory requirements and there is no significant industry growth, there are also no changes in the capital/startup or operation and maintenance (O&M) costs.
