    Abstract: The NESHAP applies to ferroalloy production facilities 
that manufacture ferromanganese and silicomanganese that are major 
sources of hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) or are co-located at major 
sources of HAPs. In general, all NESHAP standards require initial 
notifications, performance tests, and periodic reports. Respondents 
that are not required to conduct an initial performance test are 
required to notify the EPA

[[Page 22992]]

Administrator of the initial compliance status of the source. Sources 
are also required to monitor and maintain records of its operations 
including: (1) Process or control device parameters; (2) bag leak 
detention systems; (3) maintenance plan for air pollution control 
devices (e.g., capture system and venturi scrubbers); (4) certification 
that monitoring devices are accurate; and (5) the implementation and 
corrective actions taken related to the startup, shutdown and 
malfunction plan and the fugitive dust control plan. The types of 
periodic reports required by this regulation include: Opacity-related 
reports; performance test results reports; immediate and periodic 
startup, shutdown, and malfunction reports; quarterly emissions 
reports; capture hood inspection reports; fugitive dust operations 
reports; and annual compliance status reports. These notifications, 
reports, and records are essential in determining compliance, and are 
required of all sources subject to NESHAP standards. This information 
is collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 63, subpart XXX.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Ferroalloy production facilities.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 63, 
subpart XXX).
    Estimated number of respondents: 1 (total).
    Frequency of response: Initially, quarterly, semiannually, and 
annually.
    Total estimated burden: 600 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 
5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $57,000 (per year), includes $0 annualized 
capital or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is a slight increase of 16 hours in 
the total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently 
approved by OMB. This is due to the rounding of estimates.

Acting Director, Collection Strategies Division.
