**SUPPORTING STATEMENT ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY**  **NESHAP for Primary Lead Smelters (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart TTT) (Renewal)**  **1. Identification of the Information Collection 1(a) Title of the Information Collection**  NESHAP for Primary Lead Smelters (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart TTT) (Renewal), EPA ICR Number 1856. 10 , OMB Control Number 2060

- 0414

. **1(b) Short Characterization/Abstract** The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Primary Lead Smelters were proposed on April 17, 1998 , promulgated on June 4, 1999 , and amended on November 15, 2011. This amendment updates requirements to reduce the risks associated with this source category

to acceptable levels, by

adjusting the cap to 1.2 tons per year ( TPY) for the furnace area stack and refining operations stacks and by updating work practice standards to minimize fugitive dust emissions. Additionally , this amendment eliminates the SSM exemption, updates the language in the regulation , and requires sta ck testing for lead compounds on a quarterl y basis

. These regulations appl y to existing and new facilities engaged in producing lead metal from ore concentrates

. The category includes, but is not limited to, the following smelting processes: Sintering, reduction, preliminary treatment, refining and casting operations, process fugitive sources, and fugitive dust sources. New facilities include those that commenced construction or reconstruction after the date of proposal. This information is being collec ted to assure compliance with 40 CFR Part 63 , Subpart TTT

. 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 reco rds 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 sy stem is inoperative. These notifications, reports, and records are essential in determining c ompliance, 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 directly to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EP A) regional office. Over the next three ye ars, we don’t expect an existing respondent to be subject to the rule. However, we calculated the burden for implementation of the rule, which is still effective, based on the assumption of an average of one resp ondent per ye ar
. We also assumed that no additional respondents per year will become subject to the standard . We expect that if a new primary lead smelting is built in the future it would meet NS PS Subpart TTT applicability and be come subject to th is rule

.2

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

‘Terms of Clearance.” The burden to the “Affected Public” may be found in Table 1: Annual Respondent Burden and Cost

– NESHAP for Primary L ead Smelters (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart TTT) (Renewal) . The “Federal Government” burden is attributed entirel y to work performed b y federal emplo yees or government contractors and may be found in Table 2: Average Annual EPA Burden and Cost

– NESHAP for Primary L ead Smelters (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart TTT) (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. In addition, 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, produc tion variables or other indirect data when direct monitoring of emissions is impractical; (F) submit compliance certifications 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 facilities engaged in primary lead processing cause or contribute to air pollution that may reasonably

be anticipated to endanger public health or welfare. Therefore, the NESHAP were promulgated for this source category at 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart TTT

. **2(b) Practical Utility/Users of the Data** The recordkeeping and reporting requirements in the standard ensure compliance with the applicable regulations which w ere promulgated in accordance with the Clean Air Act. The collected information is also used for targeting inspections and as evidence in legal proceedings.3

Performance tests are required in order to determine an affected facility ’ s initial capability to comply

with the emissio n standard. Continuous emission monitors are used to 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, leaks are being detected and repaired, and the standard are being met. The performance test may also be observed. The required quarterl y reports are used to determine peri ods of excess emissions, identify problems at the facility , verify operation/maintenance procedures and for compliance determinations. **3. Nonduplication, Consultations, and Other Collection Criteria 3(a) Nonduplication**  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, no duplication exists. **3(b) Public No tice 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 ( 79 FR 30117 ) on May 27, 2014

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

. **3(c) Consultations**
T he Agency ’s industry

experts have been consulted, and the Agency ’s internal data sources and projections of industry growth over the next three years have been considered. The primary source of information as reported b y industry , in compliance with the recordkeeping and reporting provisions in the standard, is the Online Tracking Information System (OTI S) which is operated and maintained by the EPA Office of Compliance. OTIS is the EPA database for the collection, mainte nance, 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 associations and other interested parties were provided an opportunity to comment on the burden associated with the standard as it was being developed. In developing4

this I CR, we contacted both the Doe Run Company at (314) 453

- 7100 and the Missouri Department of Natural Resources at (800) 361

- 4827

. 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 first Federal Register notice. In this case, no comments were received. **3(d) Effects of Less Frequent Collection** Less frequent information collec tion 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 emissi on 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 likely

. **3(e) General Guidelines**
T hese 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 with the Part 70 permit program and the five ye ar statute of limitations on which the perm it program is based. The retention of records for five years allows EPA to establish the compliance history of a source, an y pattern of non

- compliance and to determine the appropriate level of enforcement action. EPA has found that the most flagrant viol ators 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 (see 40 CFR 2; 41 FR 36902, September 1, 1976; amended b y 43 FR 40000, Septembe r 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 standard do not include sensitive questions. **4. The Respondents and the Information Requested**5

**4(a) Respondents/SIC Codes**  The respondents to the recordkeeping and reporting requirements are facilities engaged in primary lead processing . The United States Standard Industrial Classification ( SI C ) code for the respondents affected b y the standards is SI C 3339 , which corresponds to the North American Industry Classification Sy stem (NAICS ) 331410 for Lead Smelting and Refining , Primary

. **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 Primary L ead Smelters (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart TTT)

. A source must make the following reports:

**Notification s**  Initial notification requirements 63.9(b)(1) Notification of compliance status when a source becomes subject to the standard 63.9(h) Notification that source is subject to special compliance requirements, if applicable 63.9(d)
Notification of performance test 63.7(b), 63.9(e) Rescheduled of performance test 63.7(b)(2) Demonstration of continuous monitoring sy stem 63.9(g) Change in information already provided 63.9(j) Request for an extension of compliance with relevant standard 63.9(c)
**Reports** Application for approval of the construction or reconstruction of a new major affected source, or reconstruction of a major affected source 63.5(6)(d)

Performance test results 63.10(d)(2) Report of opacity and visible emission observations 63.9(f)6 **Reports** Startup, shutdown and malfunction plan 63.6(e)(3) Periodic startup, shutdown and malfunction reports 63.10(d)(5)(i) Notification of compliance status 63.9(h) SOP for baghouses and fugitive dust control 63.1548(b) Progress reports for compliance extension (if applicable) 63.6(i) Report of quarterly compliance tests 63.1546 (a) Semiannual reports 63.1549(e) A source must keep the following records:
**Recordkeeping** Startup, shutdown and malfunction plan 63.6(e)(3) All reports and notifications 63.10(b)(1) Records of startup, shut

- down, and malfunction of process equipment 63.10(b)(2)(i), (iv), (v) Records of malfunctions of air pollution control equipment 63.10(b)(2)(ii) Any applicability

determination that demonstrates why owner or operator believes source(s) is/are unaffected 63.10(b)(3)
Records of maintenance of air pollution control equipment 63.10(b)(2)(iii) Records of flow monitoring s ys tem performance evaluations, malfunctions, calibrations, and adjustments 63.10(b)(2)(vi), (vii), (viii), (ix), (x), (xi), 63.10(c) Documentation required for waiver of recordkeepi ng or reporting requirements (if applicable) 63.10(b)(2)(xii)

in

- draft checks 63.1549(b)(6) Records of flow monitoring s ys tem output (if applicable) 63.1549(b)(7) Records of damper position checks (if applicable) 63.1549(b)(8) Five

- ye ar retention of records 63.10(b)(1), 63.1549(b) 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 th e respondents continue to create reporting sy stems 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. Install, calibrate, maintain, and operate CMS for lead, opacity , or for pressure drop and liquid supply pressure for baghouse or equivalent control device. Perform initial performance test, Reference Method 1; 2, 2F, 2G; 3, 3A, 3B; 4; 12 or 29 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 sy stems for the purpose of collecting, validating, and verifying inform ation. Develop, acquire, install, and utilize technology and sy stems for the purpose of processing and maintaining information. Develop, acquire, install, and utilize technology and sy stems for the purpose of disclosing and providing information.8 **Respondent Activities** 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 significantly 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 Sy stem (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 compl y with the emission standard and note the operating conditions under whi ch compliance was achieved. 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 maintena nce, 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.9

EPA and its delegated Authoritie s 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** There are no small businesses, as defined b y the Small Business Administration (SBA), affected b y this regulation

. The SBA defines a small entity engaging in primary lead processing operations as a firm having no more than 500 to 1,000 employees (depending on the size definition for the affected NAI CS code). The sole facility subject to the rule does not meet the definition of a small entity. **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 Primary L ead Smelters (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart TTT) (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. Where appropriate, specific tasks and major assumption s have been identified. Responses to this information collection are mandatory

. **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 6, 2 65 ( Total Labor Hours from Table 1). T hese hours are based on Agency studies and background documents from the development of the regulation, Agency

knowledge and experience with the NESHAP program, the previously approved ICR, and an y comments received. **6(b) Estimating Respondent Costs (i) Estimating Labor Costs**  This I CR uses the following labor rates: Managerial $1 2 8

. 0 2 ($ 60.98 + 110%) Technical $ 10 1

. 05 ($4 8

. 12 + 110%) Clerical $ 5 1

. 37 ($2 4

. 46 + 110%)10

These rates are from the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, March 2014 , “ Table 2. Civilian Workers, by occupational and industry group. ” The rates are from column 1, “ Total compensation. ” The rates have been increased b y 110 p ercent to account for the benefit packages available to those employed by private industry

. **(ii) Estimating Capital/Startup and Operation and Maintenance Costs** The ty pe of industry

costs associated with the information collection activities in the subje ct standard are both labor costs which are addressed elsewhere in this ICR and the costs associated with continuous monitoring. Th e capital/startup costs are one

- time costs when a facility becomes subject to the regulation. In a new primary lead smelting facility

becomes subject to the rule, the rule requires the installation of a lead continuous emission monitor once EPA has approved the CEMS specifications. Since the Agency has not approve the specification ye t and a new facility

is not foreseen in the near future, we are unable to come up with capital/startup cost and operation and maintenance cost estimate at this time. The annual operation and maintenance costs are the ongoing costs to maintain the monitors and other costs such as photocop yi ng and p ostage.

. The total capital/startup costs for this I CR are $ 0 . This is the total o f column D in the above table. The total operation and maintenance ( O&M) costs for this I CR are $ 169 ,000

. This is the total of column G. The average annual cost for capital/startup and operation and maintenance costs to11

industry over the next three years of the IC R is estimated to be $ 1 69 ,000

. **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 maint ained by the respondents, periodic inspection of sources of emiss ions, and the publication and distribution of collected information. The average annual Agency cost during the three years of the ICR is estimated to be $ 2,826

. This cost is based on the average hourl y 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 Cost

– NESHAP for Primary Lead Smelters ( 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart TTT) (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 one existing respondent will be subject to the standard. It is estimated that no additional respondents per ye ar will become subject. The overall average number of respondents, as shown in the table below, is one per year. The number of respondents is calculated using the following table that addresses the three ye ars covered b y this ICR.12 **Number of Respondents** Respondents That Submit Reports Respondents That Do Not Submit Any Reports

- counting respondents

. As shown above, the average Number of Respondents over the three ye ar period of this ICR is one
. The total number of annual responses per ye ar is calculated using the following table:
**Total Annual Responses** (A) Information Collection Activity (B) Number of Respondents (C)

Number of Responses (D)

Number of Existing Respondents That Keep Records But Do Not Submit Reports (E) Total Annual Responses E=(BxC)+D

Quarterly Reports 1 4 0 4 Semiannual Reports 1 2 0 2 Total 6 The number of Total Annual Responses is 6

. The total annual labor costs are $ 61 3 , 379

. Details regarding these estimates may be found below in Table 1: Annual Respondent Burden and Cost

– NESHAP for Primary L ead Smelters (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart TTT) (Ren ewal)

. **6(e) Bottom Line Burden Hours and Cost Tables** The detailed bottom line burden hours and cost calculations for the respondents and the13

Agency are shown in Tables 1 and 2, respectivel y, and summarized below. **(i) Respondent Tally** The total annual labor hours are 6, 2 65

. Details regarding these estimates may be found in Table 1: Annual Respondent Burden and Cost

– NESHAP for Primary L ead Smelters (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart TTT) (Renewal)

. Furthermore, the annual public reporting an d recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 1,04 4 hours per response

. The total annual capital/startup and O&M costs to the regulated entity are $169,000

. 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 0 labor hours at a cost of $ 2,826 . See Table 2: Average Annual EPA Burden and Cost

– NESHAP for Primary

L ead Smelters (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart TTT) (Renewal)

. **6(f) Reasons for Change in Burden** There is an overall decrease in the respondent and Agency burden and cost from the OMB Inventory

of Approved Burdens. The currently approved burden is the cumulative burden and cost from EPA ICR Number 1856.06 (existing rule) and EPA ICR Number 1856.08 (2011 amendment). In this ICR renewal, we have combined the two ICRs to reflect current rule requirements and removed duplicate items. In addi tion, this I CR renewal reflects a decrease in the number of respondents from two to one since EPA I CR Number 1856.06. We have assumed that there are an estimated one respondent subject to NSPS Subpart TTT since rule is still in effect. These changes resu lt in an apparent decrease in labor hours and costs. **6(g) Burden Statement** The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 1,04 4 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 sy stems f

or the purposes of collecting, validating, and verifying information, processing and maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information; adjust the existing ways to comply with an y previously

applicable instructions and requirements; train p ersonnel 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.14

An agency

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

**Assu mptions:**  a We have assume d that there are an estimated one respondent which is subject to NSPS Subpart TTT since it is still in effect . We have assumed that there will be no new net growth for this industry over the three year period of this ICR. b This ICR uses the following labor rates: $128.02 per hour for Executive, Administrative, and Managerial labor; $101.05 per ho ur for Technical labor, and $51.37 per hour for Clerical labor. These rates are from the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, March 2014, “T able 2: Civilian Workers, by Occupational and Industry group.” The rates are from column 1, “Total C om pensation.” The rates have been increased by 110% to account for the benefit packages available to those employed by private industry. c We have assumed that all sources are in compliance with initial rule requirements including initial performance te st using Method 12 for lead emissions and initial sinter building in

**Assu mptions:**  a We have assumed that there is approximately one respondents currently operating in the United States since the NSPS Subpart TTT rule is still in effect . It is estimated that no additional respondents will become subject to the regulation in the next three years based on information available on the sector. b This cost is based on the fo llowing labor rates w hich incorporates a 1.6 benefits multiplication factor to account for government overhead expenses: Managerial rate of $ 62.90 , Technical rate of $ 46.67, and Clerical rate of $25.25. These rates are from the Office of Personnel Manage ment (OPM) “20 14 General Schedule” which excludes locality rates of pay. c We have assumed that all existing sources are in compliance with the initial rule requirements.
