# AGENCY:

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

# ACTION:

Notice.

# SUMMARY:

                        The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has submitted an information collection request (ICR), NESHAP for Coke Oven Batteries (EPA ICR Number 1362.12, OMB Control Number 2060-0253), to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act. This is a proposed extension of the ICR, which is currently approved through April 30, 2022. Public comments were previously requested, via the                         **Federal Register***,*                         on April 13, 2021 during a 60-day comment period. This notice allows for an additional 30 days for public comments. A fuller description of the ICR is given below, including its estimated burden and cost to the public. An agency may neither conduct nor sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number.

*Abstract:*                     The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Coke Oven Batteries (40 CFR part 63, subpart L) were proposed on December 4, 1992; promulgated on October 27, 1993; and amended on April 15, 2005. These regulations apply to all coke oven batteries, whether existing, new, reconstructed, rebuilt, or restarted. It also applies to all batteries using conventional by-product recovery processes, non-recovery processes, or any new recovery processes. New facilities include those that commenced construction or reconstruction after the date of proposal. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 63, subpart L.                

*Form Numbers:*                     None.                

*Respondents/affected entities:*                     Owners or operators of iron and steel integrated plants that produce coke for their operations and merchant plants that produce furnace and foundry coke for sale on the open market.                

*Respondent's obligation to respond:*                     Mandatory (40 CFR part 63, subpart L).                

*Estimated number of respondents:*                     14 (total).                

*Frequency of response:*                     Semiannually.                

*Total estimated burden:*                     58,200 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).                

*Total estimated cost:*                     $6,880,000 (per year), which includes $0 in annualized capital/startup and/or operation & maintenance costs.                

*Changes in the Estimates:*                     The decrease in burden from the most-recently approved ICR is due to a decrease in the number of sources. There is an adjustment decrease in labor hours from the most-recently approved ICR. This decrease reflects revisions to the number of existing respondents that are subject to 40 CFR part 63, subpart L, and that are anticipated to reconstruct or close batteries subject to these standards. This decrease is not due to any program changes. 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, Regulatory Support Division.
