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 when approved, 
are listed in 40 CFR part 9, and displayed either by publication in the 
Federal Register or by other appropriate means, such as on the related 
collection instrument or form, if applicable. The display of OMB 
control numbers in certain EPA regulations is consolidated in 40 CFR 
part 9.
    Abstract: The affected entities are subject to the General 
Provisions of the NESHAP at 40 CFR part 63, subpart A, and any changes, 
or additions to the Provisions specified at 40 CFR part 63, subpart LL.
    Owners or operators of the affected facilities must submit a one-
time-only report of any physical or operational changes, initial 
performance tests, and periodic reports and results. Owners or 
operators 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. Reports, at a minimum, are required semiannually.
    Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping 
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 2,010 
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 which have subsequently changed; 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: Owners or operators of primary 
aluminum reduction plants.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 16.
    Frequency of Response: Initially, semiannually and annually.
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 80,398.
    Estimated Total Annual Cost: $7,599,556, which includes $7,508,208 
in labor costs and $91,348 in operation and maintenance (O&M) costs. 
There are no annualized capital/startup costs for this ICR.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is no change in the calculation 
methodology for labor hours and Agency costs in this ICR compared to 
the previous ICR. 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. Secondly, the growth 
rate for the respondents is very low, negative, or non-existent. It 
should be noted that there is an apparent increase of 352 hours in 
respondent labor hours. This is due to a mathematical error in the 
previous ICR.
    The increase in cost to Respondents and the Agency is due to 
updating of the labor rates to reflect the most recent available 
estimates. There are no changes to the capital/startup or operation and 
maintenance costs.
