*Title:*                     NESHAP for Taconite Iron Ore Processing (Renewal).                 

*ICR Numbers:*                     EPA ICR Number 2050.03; OMB Control Number 2060-0538.                 

*ICR Status:*                     This ICR is scheduled to expire on January 31, 2007. Under OMB regulations, the Agency may continue to conduct or sponsor the collection of information while this submission is pending at OMB. 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                           ( print page 2510)                        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:*                     These standards apply to owners or operators of each existing and new taconite iron ore processing plant that is a major source of hazardous air pollutant (HAP) if it emits or has the potential to emit any single HAP at a rate of 10 tons or more per year or any combination of HAP at a rate of 25 tons or more per year. The effective sources in this subpart covers emissions from ore crushing and handling emission units, ore dryer stacks, indurating furnace stacks, finished pellet handling emission units, and fugitive dust emissions.                 

Owners or operators of such facilities must provide EPA, or the delegated state regulatory authority, with initial notifications, performance tests, and periodic reports. They are also required to maintain records of the occurrence and duration of any startup, shutdown, or malfunction (SSM) in the operation of an affected facility, or any period during which the monitoring system is inoperative. The responses to this information collection are mandatory under Clean Air Act section 112 and 40 CFR part 63, subpart RRRRR. 

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 are estimated to average approximately 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 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:*                     Taconite Iron Ore Processing.                 

*Estimated Number of Respondents:*                     8.                 

*Frequency of Response:*                     Initially and semiannually.                 

*Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:*                     408.                 

*Estimated Total Costs:*                     $491,997, which Includes $0 annualized Capital Startup Costs; $257,600 annualized Operations & Maintenance (O&M); and $234,397 annualized Labor Costs.                 

*Changes in the Estimates:*                     There is a decrease of 864 hours in the total estimated burden currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR Burdens. The decrease in burden is due mainly to the fact that within the past three years the respondent completed those activities that are required to achieve initial compliance, hence, the initial costs to comply differs from the costs to comply continuously with the standard. There are also no new sources expected over the three year period of this ICR.                 

There is a decrease in the capital/startup vs. operation and maintenance (O&M) Cost, this change could be attributed to the fact that there are no new sources, and only O&M is accounted for in this ICR.
