NESHAP for Area Sources: Primary Copper Smelting, Secondary Copper Smelting

, and Primary Nonferrous Metals

- Zinc, Cadmium, and Beryllium (40 CFR Part 63, Subparts EEEEEE, FFFFFF, and GGGGGG) (Renewal)

1. Identification of the Information Collection

1(a) Title of the Information Collection

NESHAP for Area Sources: Primary Copper Smelting, Secondary Copper Smelting, and Primary

Nonferrous Metals

- Zinc, Cadmium, and Beryllium (40 CFR Part 63, Subparts EEEEEE, FFFFFF, and GGGGGG) (Renewal) , EPA ICR Number 2240.0 5

, OMB Control Number 2060

.

1(b) Short Characterization/Abstract

The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Area Sources: Primary Copper Smelting, Secondary Copper Smelting, and Primary Nonferrous

Metals

- Zinc, Cadmium, and Beryllium ( 40 CFR Part 63, Subparts EEEEEE, FFFFFF, and

GGGGGG 1 ) were p roposed on October 6, 2006, and promulgated on January 23, 2007

. These regulations apply to new and existing primary copper smelting facilities (Subpart EEEEEE), new secondary copper smelting facilities (Subpart FFFFFF) , and new and existing primary zinc o r beryllium production facilities (Subpart GGGGGG) that are an area source of hazardous air pollutant (HAP) emissions

. New facilities include those that commenced construction or reconstruction after the date of proposal. This information is being collecte d to assure compliance with 40 CFR Part 63, Subparts EEEEEE, FFFFFF, and GGGGGG

.

The 2007 final area source rule for primary beryllium production facilities (part of the primary nonferrous metals category) in Subpart GGGGGG does not impose any new informa tion collection burden. New and existing primary beryllium production facilities that are area sources are required to comply with the same testing, monitoring, recordkeeping, and reporting requirements as those in the National Emission Standard for Beryll ium (40 CFR Part 61, Subpart C). OMB has approved the information collection requirements previously in 40 CFR Part 61, Subpart C under EPA ICR Number 0193.08, OMB Control Number 2060

- 0092. Therefore, this

burden is not covered under this ICR.

In genera l, all NESHAP s tandards require initial notification report s, 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 system is inoperative. These notifications, reports, and records are essential in determining compliance,

1 Note the title of this ICR has been revised to remove the NESHAP for Polyvinyl Chloride and Copolymer Production Area Sources (40 CFR Part 63 Subpart DD DDDD). The burden associated with this Subpart is covered
under the EPA ICR Number 2454.02, OMB Control Number 2060

- 0684.2

and are required of all affected facilities subject t o NESHAP

.

Any owner/operator subject to the provisions of this part shall maintain a file containing

these documents , and retain the file for at least f ive years following the generation date of such 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 directly to the U

. S

. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regional office.

The “Affected Public” are owners and operators of new a nd existing primary copper smelting facilities, new secondary copper smelting facilities, and new and existing primary zinc or beryllium production facilities that are area sources of HAP. There are three primary copper

smelting and two primary zinc

- smelt ing facilities, which are owned and operated by the primary copper and zinc smelting industry. None of the five facilities in the United States are owned by

either state, local, tribal or the Federal government. They are all owned and operated by privately

- owned, for

- profit businesses. We assume that they will all respond to EPA regulations

.

The “burden” to the Affected Public may be found below in Table 1 : NESHAP for Area Sources: Primary Copper Smelting, Secondary Copper Smelting, and Primary Nonferrous

Metals

- Zinc, Cadmium, and Beryllium ( 40 CFR Part 63, Subparts EEEEEE, FFFFFF, and

GGGGGG ) (Renewal ). The “burden” to the Federal Governmen t is attributed en tirely to work performed by either Federal employees or government contractors, and may be found below in Table 2: Average Annual EPA Burden and Cost

– NESHAP for Area Sources: Primary Copper Smelting, Secondary Copper Smelting, and Primary Nonferrous Meta ls

- Zinc, Cadmium, and Beryllium (40 CFR Part 63, Subparts EEEEEE, FFFFFF, and GGGGGG) (Renewal).

Based on our consultations with industry representatives, there are an average of one affected facilities at each plant site and that each plant site has onl y one respondent (i.e., the owner/operator of the plant site).

Over the next three years, approximately five respondents (three primary copper smelters and two primary zinc smelters) per year will be subject to the se standard s , and no additional responden ts per year will become subject to the se same standard s

.

The Office of Management and Budget ( OMB ) approved the currently active ICR without any “ Terms of Clearance ”

.

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 o f hazardous air pollutants and shall require the maximum degree of emission redu ction. In addition, section3

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 certifications in ac cordance with Section 114(a)(3); and (G) provide such other information as the Admini strator may reasonably require.

In the Administrator's judgment, HAP emissions fro m primary copper smelters, secondary copper smelters, and primary zinc production facili ties either cause or contribute to air pollution that may reasonably be anticipated to endanger public health and/ or welfare. Therefore,

the NESHAP were promulgated for this source category at 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart s EEEEEE,

FFFFFF , and GGGGGG

.

2(b) Prac tical Utility/Users of the Data

The recordkeeping and reporting requirements in the se standard s ensure compliance with the applicable regulations which were promulgated in accordance with the Clean Air Act. The

collected information is also used for targeting inspections and as evidence in legal proceedings.

Performance tests are required in order to determine an affected facility ’ s initial capability to comply with the emission standards . Continuous emission monitors are used to

ensu re compliance wi th the standard s 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 notific ations required in the standards 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 p roperly

installed an d operated, leaks are being detected and repaired and that the standard s are 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.4

3. Non

- duplication, Consultations, and Other Collection Criteria

The requested recordkeeping and reporting are required under 40 CFR P art 63, S ubpart s EEEEEE, FFFFFF, and GGGGGG

.

3(a) Non

- duplication

If the subject standards have not been delegated, the information is sent directly to the appropriate EPA regional office. Otherwise, the information is sent directly 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 copy 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) Public Notice Required Prior to ICR Submission to OMB

An announcement of a public comment period for the renewal of this ICR was published

in the Federal Register ( 80 FR 32116 ) on June 5, 2015

. No comments were received on the burden published in the Federal Register

.

3(c) Consultations

T he Agency has consulted i ndustry 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 Integrated Compliance Information System (ICIS). ICIS is EPA’s database for the collection, maintenance, and r etrieval of compliance data for industrial and government

- owned facilities. The growth rate for the industry is based on our consultations with the Agency’s internal industry experts.

I ndustry trade associations and other interested parties were provided an opportunity to

comment on the burden associated with the se standard s as they were being developed and the se standard s ha ve been reviewed previously to determine the minimum information needed for compliance pu rposes. In developing this ICR, we contacted : 1 ) the International Zinc Association (IZA)

, at (919) 361

- 4647 ; and 2) the International Copper Association, Ltd., at (212) 251

- 7240.

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

Instances of l ess

- frequent information collection would decrease the margin of assurance5

that facilities are continuing to meet the standards. Requirements for information gathering and recordkeeping are useful techniques to ensure that good operation and maintenance practi ces are applied and emission limitations are met. If the information required by these standards was

collected less

- frequently, the proper operation and maintenance of control equipment and the possibility of detecting violations would be less likely.

3(e ) General Guidelines

T hese reporting or recordkeeping requirements do not violate any of the regulations promulgated by OMB under 5 CFR Part 1320, Section 1320.5.

These standards require the respondents to maintain all records, including reports and

noti fications for at least five years. This is consistent with the General Provisions as applied to

the standards. EPA believes that the five

- year records retention requirement is consistent with the Part 70 permit program and the five

- year statute of limitati ons on which the permit program is

based. T he retention of records for five years 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

years. 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; amen ded by 43 FR 40000, September 8, 1978; 43 FR 42251, September 20,
1978; 44 FR 17674, March 23, 1979).

3(g) Sensitive Questions

T he reporting or recordkeeping requirements in the se standard s do not include sensitive questions.

4. The Respondents and the Information Requested

4(a) Respondents/SIC Codes

, 63.11155(c)

Startup, shutdown, or malfunction 63.11148(g)(1)

Electronic Reporting

Some of the r espondents 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.

(ii) Respondent Activities

Respondent Activities

Familiarization with the regulatory requirements.

Install, calibrate, maintain, and operate CMS for opacity, or for pressure drop and liquid supply pressure for control device.

Perform initial performance test 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 and8

Respondent Activities

systems for the purpose of collecting, validating, and verifying information.

Develop, acquire, instal l, 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.

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.

Transmit, or otherwise disclose the information.

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

Observe initial performance tests and repeat performance tests if necessary.

Review notifications and reports, including performance test reports, and excess emissions reports, required to be submitted by industry.

Audit facility records.

Input, analyze, and maintain data in the Enforcement and Compliance History Online (ECHO)

and ICIS.

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 p roperly installed and operated. Performance test reports are used by 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 published9

for use in compliance and enf orcement programs. The semiannual reports are used for problem identification, as a check on source operation and maintenance, and for compliance

determinations.

Information contained in the reports is reported by state and local governments in the

ICIS A ir database, which is operated and maintained by EPA's Office of Compliance. IC IS is

EPA ’ s database for the collection, maintenance, and retrieval of compliance data for industrial and government

- owned facilities. EPA uses ICIS for tracking air pollution c ompliance and enforcement by 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 by this regulation must be retained by the owner/operator for five

years.

5(c) Small Entity Flexibility

A majority of the respondents are large entities (i.e., large businesses). However, the impact on small entities (i.e., small businesses) was taken into consideration during the development of the regulation. Due to technical considerations involving the process operations and the types of control equipment employed, the recordkeeping and reporting requirements are the same for both small and large entities. The Agency considers these to be the minimum requirements needed to ensure compliance and, therefore, cannot reduce them further for small

entities. To the extent that larger businesses can use economies of scale to reduce their burden,

the overall burden will be reduced.

5(d) Collection Schedule

The specific frequency for each information collection activity within this request is

shown in below Table 1: Annual Respondent Burden and Cost

– NESHAP for Area Sources: Primary Copper Smelting, Secondary Copper Smelting, and Pr imary Nonferrous Metal s

- Zinc, Cadmium, and Beryllium (40 CFR Part 63, Subparts EEEEEE, FFFFFF, and GGGGGG) (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 each of the subparts included in this ICR. The individual burdens are expressed under standardized headings believed to be consistent with the concept of burden under the Paperwork Reduction Act. Where appropriate, 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.10

6(a) Estimating Respondent Burden

The average annual burden to industry over the next three years from these recordkeeping

a nd reporting requirement s is estimated to be 74 hours ( Total Labor Hours from Table 1 below ).

T hese hours are based on Agency studies and background documen ts from the development of

the regulation, Agency knowledge and experience with the NESHAP program
, the previously

approved ICR, and any comments received.

6(b) Estimating Respondent Costs

(i) Estimating Labor Costs

This ICR uses the following labor rates:

Managerial $1 2 9

. 93 ($ 61.87 + 110%)

Technical $ 10 3

. 97 ($4 9

. 51 + 110%)

Clerical $ 5 1

. 79 ($2 4

. 66 + 110%)

These rates are from the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, June

2014

, “ 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 activi ties

r equired by the subject standard s are labor costs. There are no capital/startup or o peration 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 are labor costs. There are no capital/startup or o peration and maintenance costs.

6(c) Estimating Agency Burden and Cost

The only costs to the Agency are those costs associated with analysis of the reported

informat ion. EPA's overall compliance and enforcement program i ncludes activities such as the

examination of records maint ained 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 years of the ICR is estimated to be $ 628

.11

This cost is based on the average hourly labor rate as follows:

Managerial $ 6 2. 90 (GS

- 13, Step 5, $ 3 9

. 31 + 60% )

Technical $ 4 6

. 67 (GS

- 12, Step 1, $ 2 9

. 17 + 60% )

Clerical $2 5. 25 (GS

- 6, Step 3, $ 15. 78 + 60% )

These rates are from the Office of Personnel Management (OPM)

, 20 1 4 General Schedule

, which excludes locality rates of pay. The rates have been increased by 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 C ost

– NESHAP for Area Sources: Primary Copper Smelting, Secondary Copper Smelting, and Primary Nonferrous

Metal s

- Zinc, Cadmium, and Beryllium (40 CFR Part 63, Subparts EEEEEE, FFFFFF, and GGGGGG) (Renewal)

.

6(d) Estimating the Respondent Universe and Total Burden and Costs

Based on our research for this ICR, on average over the next three years, approximately

five existing respondents will be subject to the se standard s

. Of the five respondents, three are primary copper smelters and two are primary zinc smelters. There are no existing secondary copper smelters in the U.S. It is e stimated that no additional respondents per year will become subject. However, two respondents per year will have process changes that necessitate initial applicability and compliance status reports. The overall average number of responden ts, as
shown in the table below, is five per year.

The number of respondents is calculated using the following table that addresses the three years covered by this ICR :

Number of Respondents

Respondents That Submit Reports Respondents That Do Not Submit Any Reports

Year (A)

Number of New Respondents 1 (B)

Number of Existing Respondents (C) Number of Existing Respondents that keep

records but do not submit reports (D)

Number of Existing Respondents That

1 New respondents include sources with constructed, reconstructed and modified affected facilities.

C olumn D is subtracted to avoid double

- counting respondents

. As shown above, the12

average Number of Respondents over the three year period of this ICR is five

.

The total number of annual responses per year is calculated using the following table:

- Zinc, Cadmium, and Beryllium (40 CFR Part 63, Su bparts EEEEEE, FFFFFF, and GGGGGG) (Renewal)

.

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 below

, respectively, and summarized below.

(i) Respondent Tally

The total annual labor hours are 74 hours

. D etails regarding these estimates may be found

below in Table 1 : Annual Respondent Burden and Cost

– NESHAP for Area Sources: Primary Copper Smelting, Secondary Copper Smelting, and Primary Nonferrous Metals

- Zinc, Cadmium, and Beryllium (40 CFR Part 63, Subparts EEEEEE, FFFFFF, and GGGGGG) (Renewal).

We assume that burdens for managerial tasks take 5% of the time required for technical tasks because the typical tasks for managers are to review and approve reports. Clerical burdens are assumed to take 10% of the time required for technical tasks because the typical duties of clerical staff are to proofread the reports, make copies and maintain records.13

Furthermore, the annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 1 8 (rounded) hours per response

.

The total annual capital/startup and O&M costs to the regulated entity are zero

. The cost calculations are detailed in Section 6(b)(iii), Capital/Startup vs. Operation and Maintenance (O&M) Costs.

(ii) The Agency Tally

The average annual Agency burden and cost over next three years is estimated to be 14

labor hours at a cost of $628

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

– NESHAP for Area Sources: Primary Copper Smelting, Secondary Copper Smelting, and Primary

Nonferrous Metals

- Zinc, Cadmium, and Beryllium (40 CFR Part 63, Subparts E EEEEE, FFFFFF, and GGGGGG) (Renewal).

We assume that burdens for managerial tasks take 5% of the time required for technical tasks because the typical tasks for managers are to review and approve reports. Clerical burdens

are assumed to take 10% of the ti me required for technical tasks because the typical duties of clerical staff are to proofread the reports, make copies and maintain records.

6(f) Reasons for Change in Burden

The re is a small adjustment increase in respondent burden hours and cost as currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved Burdens. The increase is due to a change in assumption. In this ICR , we assume all existing sources will take some time each year to re

familiarize themselves with the regulatory require ments

.

6(g) Burden Statement

The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 18 hours per response. “ Burden ” means the total time, effort, or financial resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or disclose or provide information
