L ead Smelters ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 1604.09, OMB Control Number 2060

–0110. ICR Status: This I CR is scheduled to expire on July 31, 2010 . 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 coll ection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number. The OMB control numbers for EPA's 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 b y publication in the Federal Register or b y 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 : The affect ed entities are subject to the General Provisions of the NSPS at 40 CFR part 60, subpart A and any changes, or additions to the General Provisions specified at 40 CFR part 60, subparts M, P, Q, R, S and Z. Owners or operators of the affected facilities mus t make an initial notification, performance tests, periodic reports, and maintain records of the occurrence and duration of any startup, shutdown, or malfunction in the operation of an affected4

facility , or any

period during which the monitoring s ys tem is inoperative. Reports, at a minimum, are required semiannually
. Burden Statement : The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 1 00.5 hours per response. Burden means the total time, effo rt, 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 system s for the purposes of collecting, validating, and verifying information, processing and maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information; adjust the existing way s to compl y with any previously applicable instructions and requirements which have subsequentl y 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: O wners or operators of secondary brass and bronze production facilities, primary copper smelters, primary zinc smelters, primary

lead smelters, primary

aluminum reduction plants, and ferroalloy production facilities. Estimated Number of Respondents: 18 Frequency

of Response: Initiall y, occasionally, semiannually , and annuall y. Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 4,92 3 Estimated Total Annual Cost: $ 597,254 , which includes $ 465,654 in labor costs, $ 0 in capital/startup costs, and $ 131 , 600 in operation and maintenance (O&M) costs. Changes in the Estimates : There is an increase in the number of hours and responses in5

the total estimated burden currentl y identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR Burdens. The burden increase of 9 hours is due to th e adjustment of number of responses associated with the semiannual reports for Ferroallo y Production Facilities. The number of responses for Ferroallo y Production Facilities was correct when accounting for the total annual responses and thus did not affec t the total number of responses but was incorrect in the calculation of burden hours. The total number of responses increased from 29 to 49 due to an adjustment of the number of reports for Primary Aluminum Reduction Plants in the total annual responses
c alculation. The change did not affect the calculations of burden hours.
