Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Gold Mine Ore Processing (40 CFR part 63, subpart EEEEEEE) were proposed on April 28, 2010, and promulgated on February 17, 2011. These regulations apply to both existing and new gold mine ore processing and production facilities that are area sources and use ore pretreatment, carbon processes with mercury retorts, carbon processes without mercury retorts, and non-carbon concentrate processes. The regulation sets mercury emission limits for each of the affected processes at both new and existing facilities. New facilities include those that either commenced construction or reconstruction after the date of proposal. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 63, subpart EEEEEEE. Form Numbers: None. Respondents/affected entities: Owners and operators of Gold Mine Ore Processing Plants. Respondent’s obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 63, subpart EEEEEEE). Estimated number of respondents: 21 (total). Frequency of response: Initially, occasionally, semiannually, and annually. Total estimated burden: 2,840 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b). Total estimated cost: $663,000 (per year), includes $227,000 annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs. Changes in the Estimates: There is no change in burden from the most recently approved ICR as currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved Burdens. 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. Second, the growth rate for this industry is very low or non-existent, so there is no significant change in the overall burden. Since there are no changes in the regulatory requirements and there is no significant industry growth, there are also no changes in the capital/startup or PO 00000 Frm 00014 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 operation and maintenance (O&M) costs.
