delegation and makes certain showings 

regarding its authority and ability to 

implement the program. One such 

delegate agency for the part 71 program 

exists at present. 

In order to receive an operating 

permit for a major or other source 

subject to either of the permitting 

programs, the applicant must conduct 

the necessary research, perform the 

appropriate analyses and prepare the 

permit application with documentation 

to demonstrate that its facility meets all 

applicable statutory and regulatory 

requirements. Specific activities and 

requirements are listed and described in 

the Supporting Statements for the two 

ICRs. 

State and local agencies under part 70 

and the EPA (or a delegate agency) 

under part 71 review permit 

applications, provide for public review 

of proposed permits, issue permits 

based on consideration of all technical 

factors and public input, and review 

information submittals required of 

sources during the term of the permit. 

Also, under part 70, the EPA reviews 

certain actions of the state and local 

agencies and provides oversight of the 

programs to ensure that they are being 

adequately implemented and enforced. 

Under part 71, the EPA reviews certain 

actions and performs oversight for any 

delegate agency, consistent with the 

terms of a delegation agreement. 

Consequently, information prepared and 

submitted by sources is essential for 

sources to receive permits, and for 

federal, state, local and tribal permitting 

agencies to adequately review the 

permit applications and thereby 

properly administer and manage the 

program. 

Since the previous renewal of this 

ICR, the EPA has promulgated two 

changes to the part 70 and 71 

regulations: the Flexible Air Permits 

rule and the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) 

Tailoring rule. The first rule provides a 

mechanism for sources to establish 

provisions in their operating permits 

that result in fewer permit revisions 

necessary during the term of the permit; 

the second establishes levels where 

GHG emissions trigger permitting 

requirements. The information 

collection requirements for these 

regulatory revisions were approved by 

the OMB after the approval of the 2007 

ICR renewals, and those approved 

changes are included and updated in 

these ICR renewals. Also, the previous 

part 71 ICR renewal identifed the EPA 

as the sole permitting authority, while 

this part 71 renewal identifies the EPA 

and one delegate agency, the Navaho 

Nation, as permitting authorities (the 

EPA continues to serve as a permitting 

authority in all areas, while the delegate 

agency serves as a permitting authority 

in a limited portion of Indian country). 

Burden Statement: 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. 

The annual public reporting and 

recordkeeping burden for the collection 

of information under parts 70 and 71 is 

broken down as follows: 

Type of permit action Part 70 Part 71 

Number of Sources .................................................................................................................................................. 15,940 174 

Burden Hours per Response: 

Sources ............................................................................................................................................................. 250 209 

Permitting Authority .......................................................................................................................................... 84 90 

Total Annual Burden Hours: 

Sources ............................................................................................................................................................. 3,977,316 36,375 

Permitting Authority .......................................................................................................................................... 1,336,370 1,254 a

Any minor discrepencies are due to rounding. 

a Only delegate agency burden is shown for part 71. 

Respondents/Affected Entities: 

Industrial plants (sources); state, local 

and tribal permitting authorities. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

For part 70 there are 15,940 sources and 

112 state and local permitting 

authorities. For part 71 there are 174 

industry sources and 1 tribal delegate 

permitting authority. (The EPA serves as 

a permitting authority but, as a federal 

agency, is not a respondent.) 

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 

For part 70, the total annual burden for 

sources and state and local permitting 

authorities is 5,313,686 hours. For part 

71, the total annual burden for sources 

and the one delegate agency (tribal) is 

37,629 hours. 

Estimated Total Annual Cost: For part 

70, the total annual cost for sources and 

state and local permitting authorities is 

$322,734,860. For part 71, the total 

annual cost for sources and the one 

delegate agency (tribal) is $2,393,171. In 

both cases, all costs are labor costs; 

there are no capital, startup or operating 

and maintenance costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: Since the 

last renewal of the part 70 ICR (in 2007), 

there is an decrease of about 199,000 

hours (or nearly a 5 percent decrease) of 

annual respondent burden. This change 

is primarily due to an updated estimate 

of the number of permits expected. 

Since the last renewal of the part 71 

ICR (in 2007), there is an increase of 

over 10,000 hours of total annual 

respondent burden (about a 38 percent 

increase). This is primarily due to an 

updated estimate of the number of 

permits expected.

Title: National Emissions Standards 

for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) 

for Nine Metal Fabrication and 

Finishing Area Sources (Renewal) 

ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 

2298.03, OMB Control Number 2060– 

0622 

ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to 

expire on April 31, 2012. Under OMB 

regulations, the Agency may continue to 

conduct or sponsor the collection of 

information while this submission is 

pending at OMB. 

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 

General Provisions specified at 40 CFR 

part 63, subpart XXXXXX. 

These regulations apply to owners or 

operators of any existing or new metal 

fabrication and finishing facility that is 

an area source of hazardous air 

pollutants (HAP) emissions and uses or 

has the potential to emit metal 

fabrication or finishing metal HAP 

(MFHAP), defined to be the compounds 

of cadmium, chromium, lead, 

manganese, and nickel, or any of these 

metals in the elemental form with the 

exception of lead. 

Owners or operators of the affected 

facilities must submit initial 

notification, annual compliance 

certifications (which include annual 

reports of exceedences if any have 

occurred.) 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. 

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 EPA 

regional office. This information is 

being collected to assure compliance 

with 40 CFR part 63, subpart XXXXXX, 

as authorized in section 112 and 114(a) 

of the Clean Air Act. The required 

information consists of emissions data 

and other information that have been 

determined to be private. 

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 the EPA 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 is 

estimated to average 11 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 nine metal 

fabrication and finishing area sources. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

1,933. 

Frequency of Response: Initially, 

occasionally, and annually. 

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 

20,562. 

Estimated Total Annual Cost: 

$1,972,260, which includes $1,972,260 

in labor costs; there are no capital/ 

startup or operating and maintenance 

costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is an 

increase in the total costs as currently 

identified in the OMB Inventory of 

Approved Burdens. This increase is not 

due to any program changes. The 

change in the cost estimates occurred 

due to the most updated labor rates for 

both respondents and the Agency. 

Despite the increase in burden costs, 

there is a decrease in the labor hours in 

this ICR compared to the previous ICR 

due to a mathematical error in
