Abstract: The National Emission 

Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants 

(NESHAP) for Gold Mine Ore Processing 

(40 CFR part 63, subpart EEEEEEE) were 

proposed on April 28, 2010, and 

promulgated on February 17, 2011. 

These regulations apply to both existing 

and new gold mine ore processing and 

production facilities that are area 

sources and use ore pretreatment, 

carbon processes with mercury retorts, 

carbon processes without mercury 

retorts, and non-carbon concentrate 

processes. The regulation sets mercury 

emission limits for each of the affected 

processes at both new and existing 

facilities. New facilities include those 

that either commenced construction or 

reconstruction after the date of proposal. 

This information is being collected to 

assure compliance with 40 CFR part 63, 

subpart EEEEEEE. 

Form Numbers: None. 

Respondents/affected entities: 

Owners and operators of Gold Mine Ore 

Processing Plants. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Mandatory (40 CFR part 63, subpart 

EEEEEEE). 

Estimated number of respondents: 21 

(total). 

Frequency of response: Initially, 

occasionally, semiannually, and 

annually. 

Total estimated burden: 2,840 hours 

(per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 

1320.3(b). 

Total estimated cost: $663,000 (per 

year), includes $227,000 annualized 

capital or operation & maintenance 

costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is no 

change in burden from the most recently 

approved ICR as currently identified in 

the OMB Inventory of Approved 

Burdens. This is due to two 

considerations. First, the regulations 

have not changed over the past three 

years and are not anticipated to change 

over the next three years. Second, the 

growth rate for this industry is very low 

or non-existent, so there is no 

significant change in the overall burden. 

Since there are no changes in the 

regulatory requirements and there is no 

significant industry growth, there are 

also no changes in the capital/startup or 

operation and maintenance (O&M) 

costs.

Director, Information Engagement Division.

Abstract: The Emission Standards for 

Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for 

Beryllium (40 CFR part 61, subpart C) 

were proposed on December 7, 1971; 

promulgated on April 6, 1973; and 

amended on February 27, 2014. These 

regulations apply to all extraction 

plants, ceramic plants, foundries, 

incinerators, and propellant plants 

which process beryllium ore, beryllium, 

beryllium oxides, beryllium alloys, or 

beryllium-containing waste. All sources 

known to have either caused, or to have 

the potential to cause, dangerous levels 

of beryllium in the ambient air are 

covered by this standard. New facilities 

include those that commenced 

construction, modification, or 

reconstruction after the date of proposal. 

This information is being collected to 

assure compliance with 40 CFR part 61, 

subpart C. 

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 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. These notifications, reports, 

and records are essential in determining 

compliance, and are required of all 

affected facilities subject to NESHAP. 

Form Numbers: None. 

Respondents/affected entities: 

Sources that process beryllium and its 

derivatives. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Mandatory (40 CFR part 61, subpart C). 

Estimated number of respondents: 33 

(total). 

Frequency of response: Initially, 

occasionally, and monthly. 

Total estimated burden: 2,670 hours 

(per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 

1320.3(b). 

Total estimated cost: $408,000 (per 

year), which includes $72,400 in 

annualized capital/startup and/or 

operation & maintenance costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is no 

change in burden from the mostrecently approved ICR as currently 

identified in the OMB Inventory of 

Approved Burdens. This is due to two 

considerations: (1) the regulations have 

not changed over the past three years 

and are not anticipated to change over 

the next three years; and (2) the growth 

rate for this industry is very low or nonexistent, so there is no significant 

change in the overall burden. There is 

an increase in operation & maintenance 

costs due to an adjustment to increase 

from 2001 to 2022 $ using the CEPCI 

Equipment Cost Index.
