### SUPPORTING STATEMENT ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
NESHAP for Ferroalloys Production: Ferromanganese and Silicomanganese (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart XXX) ( Supplemental Proposed R ule )

1. Identification of the Information Collection

1(a) Title of the Information Collection
NESHAP for Ferroalloys Production: Ferromanganese and Silicomanganese (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart XXX) , EPA ICR Number 2448.0 2 , OMB Control Number 2060

- NEW

. 1(b) Short C haracterization/Abstract

The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for the regulations published at 40 CFR subpart XXX were proposed on August 4, 1998, promulgated on May 20, 1999, and amended most recently on March 22, 2001. The purpose of this information collection request is to document the expected impacts of proposed addition of proposed changes to subpart XXX that are being developed as part of the risk and technology review process of the current subpart XXX

. Subpart XX X would continue to apply to new and existing ferroalloy s production facilities that manufacture ferromanganese and silicomanganese, and that are either major sources of hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) emissions or are co

- located at major sources of HAPs. The following affected facilities at ferroalloy production plants are subject to this NESHAP rule: submerged arc furnaces; casting operations, metal oxygen refining (MOR) process; crushing and screening operations; and fugitive dust sources. New sources in clude those that commenced construction or reconstruction after the date of the supplemental proposal. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 63, subpart XXX.
Compared to existing subpart XXX, t he proposed changes would i ncrease the number of pollutants and sources regulated and add requirements for continuous monitoring and periodic testing. In addition, the proposed rule would eliminate the startup, shutdown and malfunction (SSM) exemption, remove the SSM plan requiremen t and add a requirement for electronic submittal of performance tests.
In general, all NESHAP standards require initial notifications, performance tests, monitoring and periodic reports by the owners/operators of the affected facilities. These notifications, reports, and records are essential in determining compliance, 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 th e file for at least 5 years following the date of such measurements,

### 2
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 (EPA) regional office.

Over the next 3 years, an average of two respondent s per year will be subject to the standard, and no additional respondents per year will become subject to the standard. Based on

our consultations with industry representatives, there are two plants that are currently subject to subpart XXX and both would be subject to the proposed revisions to XXX

. The facilit ies subject to this rule h ave the ability to comply with the reporting requi rements electronically.
The burden to respondents is calculated in Table s 1 , 2, and 3 of Attachment 1 : Annual Respondent Burden and Cost of Reporting and Recordkeeping for Ferroalloys Production: Ferromanganese and Silicomanganese. Since this regulation only affects the ferroalloys production industry, the burden to the “Federal Government” is attributed entirely to work performed by Federal employees or government contractor s

. This burden is calculated in Ta ble s 5, 6, and 7 of Attac hment 1 : Annual Burden and Cost to the Federal Government for Ferroalloys Production: Ferromanganese and Silicomanganese

.

2. Need for and Use of the Collection

2(a) Need/Authority for the Collection
Section 112 of the Clean Air Act (CAA) requires the EPA t o establish NESHAP for both major and area sources of HAP that are listed for regulation under CAA section 112(c). A major

source is a stationary source that emits or has the potential to emit more than 10 tons per year (tpy) of any single HAP or more than 25 tpy of any combination of HAP. An area source is a stationary source that is not a major source (i.e., an area source does not emit and does not have the potential to emit more than 10 tpy of any single HAP and more than 25 tpy of any combination of HA P). For major sources, these technology

- based standards must reflect the maximum degree of emission reductions of HAP achievable (after considering cost, energy requirements, and non

- air quality health and environmental impacts) and are commonly referred
t o as maximum achievable control technology (MACT) standards. Section 112(d)(6) requires the EPA to review these technology

- based standards and to revise them “as necessary (taking into account developments in practices, processes, and control technologies)” no less frequently than every 8 years. In addition, section 112(f) of the CAA requires the EPA to determine for source categories subject to certain CAA section 112(d) standards whether the emissions limitations provide an ample margin of sa fety to protect public health. For MACT standards for HAP “classified as a known, probable, or possible human carcinogen" that "do not reduce lifetime excess cancer risks to the individual most exposed to emissions from a source in the category or subcateg ory to less than 1

- in

- 1 million,” t he EPA must promulgate residual risk standards for the source category (or subcategory) as necessary to provide an ample margin of safety to protect

### 3
public health. In doing so, the EPA may adopt standards equal to existin g MACT standards, if the EPA determines that the existing standards are sufficiently protective. The EPA must also adopt more stringent standards, if necessary, to prevent an adverse environmental effect, but
must consider cost, energy, safety, and other r elevant factors in doing so.
Certain records and reports are necessary for the Administrator to confirm the compliance status of sources subject to NESHAP, identify any new or reconstructed sources subject to the standards, and confirm that the standards a re being achieved on a continuous basis. These recordkeeping and reporting requirements are specifically authorized by section 114 of the Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C. 7414) and set out in the part 63 NESHAP General Provisions. The recordkeeping and reporting r equirements for title V permits are contained in 40 CFR 70.6 and 40 CFR 71.6. Under parts 63 and 70 or 71, the owner or operator must keep each record for 5
years following the date of each occurrence, measurement, maintenance, corrective action, report, o r record.

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

Performance tests for air pollution devices are required in order to determine an affected facility ’ s initial capability to comply with the emission standards. Continuous emission mon itors are used to ensure that the control equipment is operating properly and therefore, ensure compliance with the standards at all times. During the performance test, a record of the operating parameters under which compliance was achieved may be recorde d and used to determine compliance in place of a continuous emission monitor.
The notifications 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 reviewi ng authority may then inspect the source to ensure that the pollution control devices are properly installed and operated; that leaks are being detected and repaired; and that the standards are being met. The performance test may also be observed.
The requ ired semiannual compliance status reports and quarterly excess emissions reports are used to determine periods of excess emissions, identify problems at the facility, verify operation/maintenance procedures and for compliance determinations.

3. Non

- duplication, Consultations, and Other Collection Criteria

A computer search of the EPA ’ s ongoing ICR s revealed no duplication of information

gathering efforts.

3(a) Non

- duplication
If the subject standards have not been delegated, the information is sent d irectly 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 f

ederal standards, a copy of the report su bmitted to the state or local agency can be sent to the Administrator in lieu of the report required by the f ederal standards. Therefore, no duplication exists.

3(b) Public Notice Required Prior to ICR Submission to OMB
The preamble to the proposed rule wi ll provide public notice

. 3(c) Consultations

The proposed rule amendments were developed using extensive consultation with individual companies and s tate agencies. Several of the key non

- EPA persons consulted on the information collection activities are identified in Table 1

3(d) Effects of Less Frequent Collection
Less frequent information collection 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 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

### 5
possibility of detecting violations would be less likely.

3(e) General Guidelines
None of the guidelines in 5 CFR 1320.6 are being exceeded.

3(f) Confidentiality
Any information submitted to the Agency for which a claim of confid entiality 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; amended by 43 FR 40000, September 8, 1 978; 43 FR 42251, September 20, 1978; 44 FR 17674, March 23, 1979).
3(g) Sensitive Questions
The reporting or recordkeeping requirements in the standard do not include sensitive questions.

4. The Respondents and the Information Requested

(a) Respondents/ NAICS Codes

The respondents to the recordkeeping and reporting requirements are the owners or operators of all new and existing ferroalloys production facilities that are major sources or are

co

- located at major sources. The affected facilities produce eit her ferromanganese or silicomanganese. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code is 331112,

“ Electrometallurgical Ferroalloy Product Manufacturing

. ”
There are two facilities that will be subject to the proposed amendments to the NESHAP

. No new ferroalloys production facilities are expected during the 3

- year period of this ICR.

4(b) Information Requested

i) Data Items

Attachment 2, Information Requirements, summarizes the data items, including recordkeeping and reporting requirements, for the Ferroalloys Production source category. The amendments to the NESHAP require that any performance tests performed after the effective date of the final rule be submitted electronically to EPA’s Central Data Exchange by using the Electronic Reportin g Tool (ERT) for test methods that are compatible with ERT. This new requirement to submit the data to the ERT is in addition to the other existing submission requirements for this data.

### 6
(ii) Respondent Activities
The respondent activities that will be required by the proposed amendments to the Ferroalloys Production NESHAP are identified in Tables 1 through 3 of Attachment 1 and are introduced in section 6(a).
This illustrative estimate is not considered a duplicate estimate of cost under the General Du ty to Minimize Emissions clause under § 63.6(e)(1)(i), which states: “At all times, the owner and operator must operate and maintain any affected source, including associated air pollution control equipment and monitoring equipment, in a manner consistent w ith safety and good air pollution control practices for minimizing emissions. Determining whether such operation and maintenance procedures are being used will be based on information available to the Administrator which may include, but is not limited to, monitoring results, review of operation and maintenance procedures, review of operation and maintenance records, and inspection of the source.”

5. The Information Collected: Agency Activities, Collection Methodology, and Information Management

5(a) Agency Activities
The Agency activities associated with the proposed amendments to the Ferroalloys Production NESHAP are provided in Tables 5 through 7 of A ttachment 1 and are introduced in section (6)(c).

5(b) Collection Methodology and Management
Following no tification of startup, the reviewing authority might inspect the source to determine whether the pollution control devices are properly installed and operated. Performance test reports are used by the Agency to discern a source ’ s initial capability to comp ly with the emission standard. Data and records maintained by the respondents are tabulated and published for use in compliance and enforcement programs. The quarterly excess emissions reports are used for problem identification, as a check on source opera tion and maintenance, and for compliance determinations.
Information contained in the reports is entered into the EPA Air Facility Subsystem ( AFS ) which is operated and maintained by the EPA Office of Compliance. AFS is the EPA database for the collection, maintenance, and retrieval of compliance data for approximately 125,000 industrial and government

- owned facilities. The EPA uses the AFS for tracking air pollution compliance and enforcement by local and state regulatory agencies, EPA regional offices and EPA headquarters. The EPA and its delegated Authorities can edit, store, retrieve and analyze the data.

### 7
The records required by this regulation must be retained by the owner/operator for 5
years.
5(c) Small Entity Flexibility
For this source category, whi ch has the NAICS code 331112 ( i.e., Electrometallurgical ferroalloy product manufacturing), the Small Business Administration ( SBA ) small business size standard is 750 employees according to the SBA small business standards definitions. We have determined that t here are no small businesses affected by this regulation at this time. The Agency considers the final rule requirements the minimum needed to ensure compliance with the standards.

5(d) Collection Schedule

The specific frequency for each information collection activity within this request is shown in Tables 1

- 3 of Attachment 1 for the Ferroalloys Production source c ategory.

6. Estimating the Burden and Cost of the Collection

6(a) Estimating Respondent Burden
The annual burden estimates for the proposed amendments to the Ferroalloys Production NESHAP are shown in Tables 1 through 3 of Attachment 1. These numbers were derived from estimates based on the EPA’s experience with other standards. No burden estimates are provided for new sources because no new facilities are expected to become affected sources during the 3

- year period of this ICR.

6(b) Estimating Respondent Costs

(i) Estimating Labor Costs

We used May 20 12 mean hourly labor rates from the Bureau of Labor Statistics for the Iron and Steel Mills and Ferroalloy Manufacturing (NAICS 331100)

. 1 

### Loading factors (i.e., fringe benefits and overhead rates) were calculated using methodologies referenced in promulgated regulations and their accompanying Informat ion Collection Requests (ICRs), particularly those used in New Source Review (NSR) regulations. Fringe benefits are calculated as 29% of hourly earnings, and overhead is calculated using a standard 110% above hourly earnings. Table 2 presents the labor ra tes used in the cost analysis.

### To estimate the costs of conducting the initial performance tests , we assumed that facilities would hire a contractor. We show th ese cost as one

- time expense in the 3

- year ICR period

. (ii) Estimating Capital/Startup and Operation and Maintenance Costs

The capital costs assoc iated with the NESHAP include monitoring system initial costs;

one

- time costs when a facility becomes subject to the regulation. The annual operation and maintenance costs are the ongoing costs to maintain the monitors and conducting stack testing. We assumed that facilities would purchase and begin to operate all required monitoring systems in Year 2 of the ICR, whi ch is also the year we assumed they would conduct their initial performance tests.

(iii) Capital/Startup vs. Operation and Maintenance (O&M) Costs

The estimated capital and O&M costs for the affected units for the first 3 years after promulgation are provi ded. For the two facilities, the total capital costs are $ 3 8 0
, 1 48

. The total annualized capital and O&M costs are $ 2
, 322
, 0 36 for an average of $ 774,012 per year.
6(c) Estimating Agency Burden and Cost
The only costs to the Agency are those costs associated with analysis of the reported information. The overall compliance and enforcement program of EPA includes activities such as the examination of records maintained by the respondents, periodic inspection of sources of emissions, and the publication and dis tribution of collected information.
The average annual Agency cost during the 3 years of the ICR is estimated to be $ 2, 220

. The Agency labor rates are from the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) 201 5 General Schedule, which excludes locality rates of pay . These rates can be obtained from Salary Table 201 5

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

There are two existing faciliti es that are subject to the proposed Ferroalloys Production NESHAP. No new sources are expected during the 3

- year compliance period. No new facilities are expected to begin operation during the 3

- year compliance period. Over the 3

- year period, it is estimat ed that these two facilities will have 3 4 responses for an average of 1 1 per year

. 6(e) Bottom Line Burden Hours Burden Hours and Cost Tables
(i) Respondent Tally

The bottom line respondent burden hours and costs, presented in Tables 1

- 3 of Attachment 1 are calculated by adding person

- hours per year down each column for technical, managerial, and clerical staff, and by adding down the cost column. The average annual burden for the recordkeeping and reporting requirements in the proposed amendments to subp art XXX for the two existing facilities that are subject to the Ferroalloys Production NESHAP is $ 782,012 . This includes 707 annual labor hours. The detailed bottom line burden hours and cost calculations for the respondents and the Agency are shown in Tab les 1 , 2, and 3 of Attachment 1
, respectively

. (ii) The Agency Tally
The average annual Federal Government cost is $ 2, 220 for 48 hours for the proposed amendments to subpart XX X. The bottom line Agency burden hours and costs presented in Tables 5 through 7 of Att a chment 1 are calculated by adding person

- hours per year down each column for technical, managerial, and clerical staff, and by adding down the cost column.

6(f) Reasons for Change in Burden
We are requesting an increase in burden of $ 726,056 over the full 3

- year program due to implementation of these proposed changes to the regulation.
6(g) Burden Statement
The average annual respondent burden for the proposed amendments to the Ferroalloys Production NESHAP is estimated at 354 hours per facility or 71 hours per response

.

### 10
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 f ederal agency. This includes the time needed to review in structions; 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

c omply 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 informa tion.
An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a valid OMB Control Number. The OMB Control Numbers for the EPA regulations are listed at 40 CFR part 9 and 48 CFR chapte r 15.
