Abstract: The New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for Secondary Brass and Bronze Production (40 CFR part 60, subpart M) apply to both existing facilities and new facilities that commenced either 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. The NSPS for Primary Copper Smelters (40 CFR part 60, subpart P) apply to both existing facilities and new facilities that commenced either construction or modification after October 16, 1974. These standards apply to the following facilities in primary copper smelters: VerDate Sep<11>2014 19:33 Nov 25, 2022 Jkt 259001 dryer, roaster, smelting furnace, and copper converter. The NSPS for Primary Zinc Smelters (40 CFR part 60, subpart Q) apply to both existing facilities and new facilities that commenced either 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 both existing facilities and new facilities that commenced either 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 both existing facilities and new facilities that commenced either construction or modification after October 23, 1974. These standards apply to the following facilities in primary aluminum reduction plants: potroom groups and anode bake plants. The NSPS for Ferroalloy Production Facilities (40 CFR part 60, subpart Z) apply to both existing facilities and new facilities that commenced either 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 dusthandling 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: Owners and operators or secondary brass and bronze production facilities, primary copper smelters, primary zinc smelters, primary lead smelters, primary aluminum reduction plants, and ferroalloy production facilities. PO 00000 Frm 00032 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 72991 Respondent’s obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR 60, subparts M, P, Q, R, S, and Z). Estimated number of respondents: 14 (total). Frequency of response: Monthly, semiannually, annually. Total estimated burden: 2,008 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b). Total estimated cost: $349,000 (per year), which includes $107,000 in annualized capital/startup and/or operation & maintenance costs. Changes in the Estimates: The decrease in burden from the mostrecently approved ICR is due to an adjustment(s). Based on information collected by the Agency, all facilities subject to 40 CFR part 60, subpart S are complying with MACT Subpart LL for potroom groups and anode back furnaces as an alternative to the NSPS requirements. In addition, the MACT rule requirements for anode bake plants are more stringent and superseded the NSPS requirements for such affected facility. We assume all facilities subject to this NSPS will continue to comply with the MACT instead; therefore, this ICR adjusts the burden for Subpart S to reflect no respondents. In addition, Capital/Startup vs. O&M costs have decreased due to the same reasons as stated above. Courtney Kerwin, Director, Regulatory Support Division.

Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Oil and Natural Gas Production (40 CFR part 63, subpart HH) were proposed on February 6, 1998, and promulgated on June 17, 1999, only for major sources. On July 8, 2005, a supplemental proposal was proposed for area sources, with the final rule effective date on January 3, 2007. The rule was subsequently amended on August 16, 2012, to include emission sources for which standards were not previously developed. These regulations apply to emission points located at both new and existing oil and natural gas production facilities that are both major and area sources. A major source of hazardous air pollutants (HAP) is one that has the potential to emit 10 tons or more of any single HAP or 25 tons or more of total HAP per year; an area source is one with the potential to emit less than these amounts. New facilities include those that commenced either construction or reconstruction after the date of proposal. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 63, subpart HH. Form Numbers: None. Respondents/affected entities: Oil and natural gas production facilities. Respondent’s obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 63, subpart HH). Estimated number of respondents: 5,146 (total). Frequency of response: Initially, semiannually. Total estimated burden: 60,600 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b). Total estimated cost: $8,390,000 (per year), which includes $1,110,000 in annualized capital/startup and/or operation & maintenance costs. Changes in the estimates: There is an increase in burden from the mostrecently approved ICR currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved Burdens due to an increase in the number of new or modified sources. This ICR updates the number of affected sources subject to these regulations based on an assumption that the industry continues to grow at a constant rate since the previous renewal. Because the industry growth rate is constant, the number of new sources each year is constant, and there is no change in the capital/startup costs from the most recently approved ICR. However, the number of existing sources has increased due to the industry growth PO 00000 Frm 00033 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 rate, resulting in an increase to the operation & maintenance (O&M) costs.

    Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air 
Pollutants (NESHAP) for Oil and Natural Gas Production (40 CFR part 63, 
subpart HH) were proposed on February 6, 1998, and promulgated on June 
17, 1999, only for major sources. On July 8, 2005, a supplemental 
proposal was proposed for area sources, with the final rule effective 
date on January 3, 2007. The rule was subsequently amended on August 
16, 2012, to include emission sources for which standards were not

located at both new and existing oil and natural gas production 
facilities that are both major and area sources. A major source of 
hazardous air pollutants (HAP) is one that has the potential to emit 10 
tons or more of any single HAP or 25 tons or more of total HAP per 
year; an area source is one with the potential to emit less than these

    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Oil and natural gas production 
facilities.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 63, 
subpart HH).
    Estimated number of respondents: 5,146 (total).
    Frequency of response: Initially, semiannually.
    Total estimated burden: 60,600 hours (per year). Burden is defined 
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $8,390,000 (per year), which includes 
$1,110,000 in annualized capital/startup and/or operation & maintenance 
costs.
    Changes in the estimates: There is an increase in burden from the 
most-recently approved ICR currently identified in the OMB Inventory of 
Approved Burdens due to an increase in the number of new or modified 
sources. This ICR updates the number of affected sources subject to 
these regulations based on an assumption that the industry continues to 
grow at a constant rate since the previous renewal. Because the 
industry growth rate is constant, the number of new sources each year 
is constant, and there is no change in the capital/startup costs from 
the most recently approved ICR. However, the number of existing sources 
has increased due to the industry growth rate, resulting in an increase 
to the operation & maintenance (O&M) costs.
