- 0630

. **1(b) Short Characterization/Abstract** The National Emission Stan dards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Aluminum, Copper and Other Non

- ferrous Metals Foundries were proposed on February 9, 2009 , and promulgated on June 25, 2009 . These regulations apply to existing and new facilities conducting melting operations located at an aluminum, copper, or other non - ferrous foundry that is an area source of hazardous air pollutants (HAP) emissions, melts 600 tons per year (tp y) of aluminum, copper, or other non

- ferrous metal or greater, and use s material that contains or has the potential to emit HAP for which the source category was listed. 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 63, subpart ZZZZZZ

. In general, all NESHAP 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 s ys tem is inoperative. These notifications, reports, and records are essential in determining compliance, and are required of all affected facilities subject to NESHAP

. Any owner/operator subject to the provisions of this part shall maintain a file of these measurements, and retain the file for at least five years following the date of such measurements, maintenance reports, and records. All reports are sent to the delegated state or local authority

. In the event that there is no such delegated authority , the reports are sent directl y to the regional office s of the U.S. Environmental Protectio n Agency (EPA). Based on our consultations with industry representatives, there is an average of one affected facility at each plant site and that each plant site has only one respondent (i.e., the owner/operator of the plant site). Approximately

318 sources are currently subject to the regulation , and it is estimated that no additional sources will become subject to the standard in the next three years

. The Office of Management and Budget ( OMB ) approved the currentl y active ICR without any

“Terms of Clearance.”2

The “Affected Public” is private sector businesses that operate aluminum, copper and other non

- ferrous metals foundries . The burden to the “Affected Public” may be found below in Table 1 : Annual Respondent Burden and Cost

– NESHAP for Aluminum, Copper and Other Non

- ferrous Metals Foundries (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart ZZZZZZ) (Renewal) . The burden to the “Federal Government” is attributed entirel y to work performed b y either federal emplo ye e s or government contractors; this burden is found below in Table 2: Average Annual EPA Burden and Cost

– NESHAP for Aluminum, Copper and Other Non

- ferrous Metals Foundries (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart ZZZZZZ) (Renewal)

. **2. Need for and Use of the Collection 2(a) Need/Authority for the Collection**  The EPA is charged under Section 112 of the Clean Air Act, as amended, to establish standards of performance for each category or subcategory

of major sources and area sources of hazardous air pollutants. These standards are applicable to new or existing sources of hazardous air pollutants and shall require the maximum degree of emission reduction. Inaddition, section 114(a) states that the Administrator may require any

owner/operator subject to any requirement of this Act to: (A) Establish and maintain such records; (B) make such reports;

(C) install, use, and maintain such monitoring equipment, and use such audit procedures, or methods; (D) sample such emissions (in accordance with such procedures or methods, at such locations, at such intervals, during such periods, and in such manner as the Administrator shall prescribe); (E) keep records on control equipment parameters, production variables or other indirect data when direct monitoring of emissions is impractical; (F) submit compliance certification s in accordance with Section 114(a)(3); and (G) provide such other information as the Administrator may reasonabl y require. In the Administrator's judgment, HAP emissions from aluminum, copper and other non

ferrous metal foundries either cause or contribute to air pollution that may reasonabl y be anticipated to endanger public health or welfare. Therefore, the NESHAP were promulgated for this source category

at 40 CFR part 63, subpart ZZZZZZ

. **2(b) Practical Utility/Users of the Data** The recordkeeping and reporting requirements in the standard(s) ensure compliance with the applicable regulations which where promulgated in acco rdance with the Clean Air Act. The collected information is also used for targeting inspections and as evidenc e in legal proceedings. Performance tests are required in order to determine an affected facility ’ s initial capability to comply

with the emission standard. Continuous emission monitors are used to3

ensure compliance with the standard at all times. During the performance test a record of the operating parameters under which compliance was achieved may be recorded and used to determine compliance in place of a continuous emission monitor. The notifications required in the standard are used to inform the Agency or delegated authority when a source becomes subject to the requirements of the regulations. The reviewing authority may then inspect the source to check if the pollution control devices are properl y installed and operated , and leaks are being dete cted and repaired and the standard is being met. The performance test may also be observed. The required semiannual reports are used to determine periods of excess emissions, identify problems at the facility , verify operation/maintenance procedures and for compliance determinations. **3. Non**
**- duplication, Consultations, and Other Collection Criteria**  The requested recordkeeping and reporting are required under 40 CFR part 63, subpart ZZZZZZ

. **3(a) Non** 
**- duplication**  If the subject standards have not been delegated, the information is sent directl y to the appropriate EPA regional office. Otherwise, the information is sent directl y to the delegated state or local agency . If a state or local agency has adopted its own similar standards to implement the Federal standards, a cop y of the report submitted to the state or local agency can be sent to the Administrator in lieu of the report required by the Federal standards. Therefore, duplication does not exist. **3(b) Pub lic Notice Required Prior to ICR Submission to OMB**  An announcement of a public comment period for the renewal of this I CR was published in the Federal Register ( 77 FR 47631 ) on August 9, 2012

. **3(c) Consultations**

. The Agency

has consulted industry

experts and internal data sources to project the number of affected facilities and industry growth over the next three years. The primary source of information as reported by industry , in compliance with the recordkeeping and reporting provisions in the standard, is the Online Tracking Information System (OTIS ) which is operated and maintained b y EPA's Office of Compliance. OTI S is EPA ’ s database for the collection, maintenance, and retrieval of all compliance data. The growth rate for the industry is based on our consultations with the Agency ’s internal industry experts. Industry trade association s and other interested partie s were provided an opportunity to comment on the burden associated with the standard as it was being developed and the standard4

has previousl y been reviewed to determine the minimum information needed for compliance purposes. In developing this I CR, we co ntacted : 1) the American Foundry Society , at (800) 537

- 4237 ; and 2) the Non

- Ferrous Founders’ Society , at (847) 299

- 0950. It is our policy

to respond after a thorough review of comments received since the last ICR renewal as well as those submitted in response to the f irst Federal Register n otice. In this case, no comments were received. **3(d) Effects of Less Frequent Collection** Less frequent information collection would decrease the margin of assurance that facilities are continuing to meet the standards. Requirements for information gathering and recordkeeping are useful techniques to ensure that good operation and maintenance practices are applied and emission limitations are met. If the information required by these standards was collected less frequentl y, the proper operation and maintenance of control equipment and the possibility

of detecting violations would be less likel y. **3(e) General Guidelines** These reporting or recordkeeping requirements do not violate any of the regulations promulgated b y OMB under 5 CFR part 1320, section 1320.5. These standards require the respondents to maintain all records, including reports and notifications for at least five years. This is consistent with the General Provisions as applied to the standards. EPA believes that the five

- ye ar records retention requirement is consistent the Part 70 permit program and the five

- ye ar statute of limitations on which the permit program is based. The retention of records for five ye ars allow s EPA to establish the compliance history of a source , any pattern of non - compliance and to determine the appropriate level of enforcement action. EPA has found that the most flagrant violators have violations extending beyond five ye ars. In addition, EPA would be prevented from pursuing the violators due to the destruction or nonexistence of essential records

. **3(f) Confidentiality** Any information submitted to the Agency for which a claim of confidentiality is made will be safeguarded according to the Agency policies set forth in Title 40, chapter 1, part 2, subpart B

- Confidentiality of Business Information (CBI) (see 40 CFR 2; 41 FR 36902, September 1, 1976; amended by 43 FR 40000, September 8, 1978; 43 FR 42251, September 20, 1978; 44 FR 17674, March 23, 1979). **3(g) Sensitive Questions** The reporting or recordkeeping requirements in the standard do not include sensitive questions.5

**4. The Respondents and the Information Requested**  **4(a) Respondents/SIC Codes** The respondents to the recordkeeping and reporting requirements are owners and operators of aluminum, copper and other non

- ferrous metals foundries

. The United States Standard Industrial Classificati on (SI C) codes for the respondents affected by the standards, which corresponds to the North American Industry Classification S ys tem (NAI CS) codes, are listed below for aluminum, copper and other non

- ferrous metals foundries

. **Standard (40 CFR Part 63,**  **Subpart ZZZZZZ) SIC Codes**  **NAICS Codes** Aluminum Foundries Except Die Casting 3365 331524 Copper Foundries Except Die Casting 3366 3315525 Other Nonferrous Foundries Except Die Casting 3369 3315528 **4(b) Information Requested (i) Data Items**  In this ICR , all the data that is recorded or reported is required b y the NESHAP for Aluminum, Copper and Other Non

- ferrous Metals Foundries (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart ZZZZZZ)

. A source must make the following reports: **Notification s**  Notification of applicability 63.11550(a) Notification of performance tests 63.11555 Notification of compliance status 63.11553(b) Performance test for copper foundries and other non

- ferrous foundries of 6,000 tpy or greater of metal melt production 63.11551(a) Perio dic observations of fabric filter exhausts for existing melting operations subject to the PM limit 63.11552(b) BLDS for fabric filters for new melting operations subject to a PM limit 63.11552(c) **Reports** Management practices plan for aluminum, copper, and other non

- ferrous foundries 63.11550(a) Startup, shutdown, and malfunction plan/reports 63.11555 Performance test plan 63.11555 Compliance report if deviation occurs 63.11553(e)6

A source must keep the following records: **Recordkeeping** Records to document compliance with management practices plan 63.11552(a) Records to support notifications 63.11553(c)(1) Records of monitoring data 63.11553(c)(2) Records of metal melt production for copper and non

- ferrous foundries greater than 6,000 tp y 63.11553(c)(3) Electronic Reporting Some of the respondents are using monitoring equipment that automatically records parameter data. Although personnel at the affected facility must still evaluate the data, internal automation has significantly reduced the burden associated with monitoring and recordkeeping at a plant site. Also, regulatory

agencies in cooperation with the respondents continue to create reporting systems to transmit data electronically . However, electronic reporting s ys tems are still not widely used. At this time, it is estimated that approximately 10 percent of the respondents use electronic reporting.

**(ii) Respondent Activities**

**Respondent Activities** Read instructions. Perform initial performance test, Reference Method 1, 1A, 2, 2A, 2C, 2D, 2F , 2G, 3, 3A, 3B, 4, 5, 5D, and 17 test s , and repeat performance tests if necessary

. Write the notifications and reports listed above. Enter information required to be recorded above. Submit the required reports developing, acquiring, installing, and utilizing technology and systems for the purpose of collecting, validating, and verifying information. Develop, acquire, install, and utilize technology and systems for the purpose of processing and maintaining information. Develop, acquire, install, and utilize technology and systems for the purpose of disclosing and providing information. Train personnel to be able to respond to a collection of information. Transmit , or otherwise disclose the information. Currently sources are using monitoring and reporting equipment that provide parameter data in an automated way e.g., continuous parameter monitoring s ys tem. Although personnel at the source still need to evaluate the data, this type of monitoring equipment has significantly7

reduced the burden associated with monitoring and recordkeeping

. **5. The Information Collected: Agency Activities, Collection Methodology, and Information Management**  **5(a) Agency Activities** EPA conducts the following activities in connection with the acquisition, analysis, storage, and distribution of the required information. **Agency Activities** Review notifications and reports, including performance test reports, and excess emissions reports, required to be submitted by industry

. Audit facility

records. Input, anal yz e, and maintain data in the Online Tracking Information System (OTI S). **5(b) Collection Methodology and Management** Following notification of startup, the reviewing authority could inspect the source to determine whether the pollution control devices are properl y installed and operated. Performance test reports are used b y the Agency to discern a source ’ s initial capability to comply

with the emission standard

. Data and records maintained by the respondents are tabulated and published for use in compliance and enforcement programs. The semiannual reports are used for problem identification, as a check on source operation and maintenance, and for compliance determinations. In formation contained in the reports is entered into OTI S which is operated and maintained by

EPA's Office of Compliance. OT IS is EPA ’ s database for the collection, maintenance, and retrieval of compliance data for approximately 125,000 industrial and government
- owned facilities. EPA uses the OTI S for tracking air pollution compliance and enforcement b y local and state regulatory agencies, EPA regional offices and EPA headquarters. EPA and its delegated Authorities can edit, store, retrieve and analyze the data. The records required b y this regulation must be retained by the owner/operator for five ye ars. **5(c) Small Entity Flexibility** The majority

of the respondents are small entities (i.e., small businesses). A small entity for this industry

is defined by

the Small Business Administratio n as a firm having no more than 500 employees ; therefore, 98 percent of the aluminum foundries, 100 percent of the copper foundries, and 100 percent of the other non

- ferrous foundries are small entities. The standard excludes two thirds (648) of the 966 f oundries from regulation. Only the largest copper and other non

- ferrous foundries (23 total) are subject to emission standards; approximately 3188

foundries are required to comply with management practices. Of the 318 foundries that are subject to the rul e, approximately 307 (97 percent) are small entities. The standard provides the maximum degree of operational flexibility for small entities . The Agency considers these to be the minimum requirements needed to ensure compliance and, therefore, cannot red uce them further for small entities . Our anal ys es show that the standard will not result in a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities because the only new requirements will be compliance provisions. The total annual cost for each of the affected small entities is less than 0.05 percent of company sales revenues. **5(d) Collection Schedule** The specific frequency

for each information collection activity within this request is shown below in Table 1: Annual Respondent Burden and Cost

– NESHAP for Aluminum, Copper and Other Non

- ferrous Metals Foundries (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart ZZZZZZ) (Renewal)

. **6. Estimating the Burden and Cost of the Collection** Table 1 documents the computation of individual burdens for the recordkeeping and reporting requirements applicable to the industry for the subpart included in this I CR. The individual burdens are expressed under standardized headings believed to be consistent with the concept of burden under the Paperwork Reduction Act. Wherever app ropriate, specific tasks and major assumptions have been identified. Responses to this information collection are mandatory

. The Agency

may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB Control Number. **6(a) Estimating Respondent Burden** The average annual burden to industry over the next three years from these recordkeeping and reporting requirement s is estimated to be 10,482 ( Total Labor Hours from Table 1 below)

. These hours are based on Agency studies and background documents from the development of the regulation, Agency

knowledge and experience with the NESHAP program, the previousl y approved ICR, and any comments received. **6(b) Estimating Respondent Costs (i) Estimating Labor Costs**  This I CR uses the following labor rates: Managerial $ 121.44 ($ 57.83 + 110%) Technical $ 100.23 ($4 7.73 + 110%) Clerical $ 50.51 ($ 24.05 + 110%) These rates are from the U

. S

. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, March 2012 ,9

“ Table 2. Civilian Workers, by occupational and industry group. ” The rates are from column 1,
“ Total compensation. ” The rates have been increased by 110 percent to account for the benefit packages available to those employed by private industry

. **(ii) Estimating Capital/Startup and Operation and Maintenance Costs** The only costs to the regulated industry resulting from information collection activities required b y the subject standard are labo r costs. There are no capital/startup or operation and maintenance costs.

**(iii) Capital/Startup vs. Operation and Maintenance (O&M) Costs** The only type of industry costs associated with the information collection activity in the regulations is labor cost. There are no capital/startup or operation and maintenance costs. **6(c) Estimating Agency Burden and Cost** The only costs to the Agency

are those costs associated with anal ys is of the reported information. EPA's overall compliance and enforcement program includes activities such as the examination of records maintained by the respondents, periodic inspection of sources of emissions, and the publication and distribution of collected information. The average annual Agency cost during the three ye ars of the ICR is estimated to be $ 13,184

. This cost is based on the average hourl y labor rate as follows: Managerial $ 6 2.27 (GS

- 13, Step 5, $ 3 8. 92 + 60% ) Technical $ 4 6

. 21 (GS

- 12, Step 1, $ 28. 88 + 60% ) Clerical $2 5.01 (GS

- 6, Step 3, $ 15. 63 + 60% ) These rates are from the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) , 20 1 2 General Schedule , which excludes locality , rates of pay

. The rates have been increased b y 60 percent to account for the benefit packages available to government employees . Details upon which this estimate is based appear below in Table 2: Average Annual EPA Burden and Cost

- NESHAP for Aluminum, Copper and Other Non

- ferrous Metals Foundries (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart ZZZZZZ) (Renewal)

. **6(d) Estimating the Respondent Universe and Total Burden and Costs**  Based on our research for this I CR, on average over the next three ye ars, approximately 318 existing respondents will be subject to the standard. It is estimated that no additional respondent per year will become subject. The overall average number of respondents, as shown in the table below is 318 per year.10

The number of respondents is calculated using the following table that addresses the three ye ars covered b y this ICR. **Number of Respondents**

- ferrous Metals Foundries (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart ZZZZZZ) (Renewal)

.11

**6(e) Bottom Line Burden Hours and Cost Tables** The detailed bottom line burden hours and cost calculations for the respondents and the Agency are shown in Tables 1 and 2, respectivel y, and summarized below. **(i) Respondent Tally** The total annual labor hours are 10,482 at a cost of $1,015,005

. Detai ls regarding these estimates may

be found below in Table 1 : Annual Respondent Burden and Cost

- NESHAP for Aluminum, Copper and Other Non

- ferrous Metals Foundries (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart ZZZZZZ) (Renewal)

. Furthermore, the annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 164 hours per response

. There are no annual capital/startup or O&M costs to the regulated entity

. **(ii) The Agency Tally** The average annual Agency burden and cost over next three years is estimated to be 293 labor hours at a cost of $ 13,184

. See below Table 2 : Average Annual EPA Burden and Cost

- NESHAP for Aluminum, Copper and Other Non

- ferrous Metals Foundries (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart ZZZZZZ) (Renewal)

. **6(f) Reasons for Change in Burden**  There is an adjustment increase in the total estimated burden hours and cost for the respondents as currentl y identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved Burdens. This is not due to any program changes. The increase in burden hours and costs is due the fact that the rule is now fully implemented and all effected entities are required to comply with the rule on an annual basis

. Furthermore, this ICR uses adjustment labo r rates which also increase the burden costs for all labor categories. There is an adjustment decrease in the total burden hours and cost for the Agency as currentl y identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved Burdens. The burden hours and costs decrease d since the last ICR because the Agency is no longer expected to conduct activities associated with initial compliance. This I CR uses updated labor rates in estimating the burden costs for all labor categories. **6(g) Burden Statement** The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 164 hours per response. “ Burden ” means the total time, effort, or financial resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or disclose or provide in formation to or for a Federal agency . This includes the time needed to review instructions;12

develop, acquire, install, and utilize technology and systems for the purposes of collecting, validating, and verifying information, processing and maintaining inf ormation, and disclosing and providing information; adjust the existing ways to comply with any previously

applicable instructions and requirements; train personnel to be able to respond to a collection of information; search data sources; complete and review the collection of information; and transmit or otherwise disclose the information. An agency

may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a valid OMB Control Number. The OMB Co ntrol Numbers for EPA regulations are listed at 40 CFR part 9 and 48 CFR chapter 15.

Clerical labor. These rates are from the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statisti cs, March 2012 , “Table 2. Civilian Workers, by Occupational and Industry group.” The rates are from “column 1, Total Compensation. “ The rates have been increased by 110% to account for the benefit packages available to those employed by private industry. b We have assumed that 318 foundries will be subject to the rule and will perform these activities over the 3

- year term of the ICR

. c We have assumed that all of the 23 foundries subject to the PM emission limit must perform the visible emissions observations over the 3

- year term of the ICR. d This activity is b ased on daily VE for 30 days and weekly thereafter (30 + 335/7 = 78). e Semiannual compliance reports are required when deviations occur. We estimate that 10 percent of the foundries will experience deviation s.16
