76940 Federal Register / Vol. 69, No. 246 / Thursday, December 23, 2004 / Notices 

An 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. The OMB control 

numbers for EPA’s regulations in title 40 

of the CFR, after appearing in the 

Federal Register, are listed in 40 CFR 

part 9 and included on the related 

collection instrument or form, if 

applicable. 

Burden Statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average about one and a 

half hours per response. Burden means 

the total time, effort or financial 

resources expended by persons to 

generate, maintain, retain or disclose or 

provide information to or for a Federal 

agency. This includes the time needed 

to review instructions; develop, acquire, 

install and utilize technology and 

systems for the purposes of collecting, 

validating and verifying information, 

processing and maintaining 

information, 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. 

Respondents/Affected Entities:

Persons who perform renovations of 

certain types of housing, constructed 

prior to 1978, for compensation. 

Frequency of Collection: On occasion. 

Estimated No. of Respondents:

2,482,000. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden on 

Respondents: 3,461,542 hours. 

Estimated Total Annual Costs:

$111,929,595. 

Changes in Burden Estimates: This 

request reflects an increase of 522,996 

hours (from 2,938,546 hours to 

3,461,542 hours) in the total estimated 

respondent burden from that currently 

in the OMB inventory. This increase is 

due to an increase in the estimated 

number of annual renovation events, as 

detailed in the Supporting Statement for 

this ICR. The increased number of 

renovation events is the result of 

increased spending on renovations and 

reflects a general economic trend. The 

change in burden represents an 

adjustment.

Title: NESHAP for Ferroalloys 

Production: Ferromanganese and 

Silicomanganese (40 CFR part 63, 

subpart XXX) (Renewal). 

Abstract: The national emission 

standards for hazardous air pollutants 

(NESHAP) using maximum achievable 

Federal Register / Vol. 69, No. 246 / Thursday, December 23, 2004 / Notices 76941

control technology (MACT) were 

proposed on August 4, 1998, 

promulgated on May 20, 1999, and 

amended most recently on March 22, 

2001. The rule 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 (MACT) 

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 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, and 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/malfunction reports, 

quarterly emissions reports; capture 

hood inspection reports; fugitive dust 

operations reports; annual compliance 

status reports. These notifications, 

reports, and records are essential in 

determining compliance, and are 

required of all sources subject to 

NESHAP (MACT) standards. 

An 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. The OMB Control 

Numbers for EPA’s regulations are listed 

in 40 CFR part 9 and 48 CFR chapter 15, 

and are identified on the form and/or 

instrument, if applicable. 

Burden Statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average 83 hours per 

response. Burden means the total time, 

effort, or financial resources expended 

by persons to generate, maintain, retain, 

or disclose or provide information to or 

for a Federal agency. This includes the 

time needed to review instructions; 

develop, acquire, install, and utilize 

technology and systems for the purposes 

of collecting, validating, and verifying 

information, processing and 

maintaining information, 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. 

Respondents/Affected Entities:

Ferroalloy production facilities that 

manufacture ferromanganese and 

silicomanganese and are major sources 

of HAPs or are co-located at major 

sources of HAPs. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 1. 

Frequency of Response: Initial, 

quarterly, semiannual and annual. 

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:

584 hours. 

Estimated Total Annual Costs:

$37,261, which includes $0 annualized 

capital/startup costs, $0 annual O&M 

costs, and $37,261 annual labor costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is 

decrease of 162 hours in the total 

estimated burden currently identified in 

the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR 

Burdens. This decrease in labor hours is 

due to the following assumptions: (1) 

The source has complied with the initial 

notification requirements and the initial 

compliance demonstration requirements 

since the effective date of the rule has 

passed; and (2) the source has already 

developed its record system including 

the startup, shutdown and malfunction 

plan; the fugitive dust plan; and the 

control equipment/maintenance plan.

regarding air quality and visual 

environmental impacts to Class 1 

Airsheds, and recommended mitigation 

measures such as: Using electric drill 

rigs and new technology diesel engines; 

purchasing wind-generated electricity; 

and the Tribes should investigate and 

consider developing their own 

renewable electricity generation 

capability to power tribal related 

projects to reduce air emissions.
