but must keep copies of installation 

invoices and records for 6 months that 

show the reason an aftermarket catalyst 

installation was permissible. A 

technical change is made to note that 

the warranty period for the Original 

Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) 

converter originally installed on the 

vehicle is 8 years/80,000 miles starting 

with the 1995 model year. Therefore, 

aftermarket or reconditioned converters 

generally cannot be installed on such 

vehicles until the vehicles are at least 8 

(eight) years old, or have accumulated 

80,000 miles of service life. Removed 

catalysts must be tagged with 

identifying information and be retained 

for 15 days. EPA allows the use of preprinted documents or computer 

generated documents. All the record 

keeping under the policy is authorized 

by section 114 of the Act, 42 U.S.C. 

7414 and section 208 of the Act, 42 

U.S.C. 7542 and is a mandatory 

condition for participation in this 

voluntary alternative program to 

manufacturing catalytic converters 

equivalent to OE. Not complying with 

the record keeping and remaining 

reporting requirements would violate 

section 203(a)(3) of the Act, 42 U.S.C. 

7522(a)(3). Parties who comply with 

these policies are allowed to install 

aftermarket catalysts instead of OE 

catalytic converters. Confidentiality 

provisions are found at 40 CFR part 2. 

These requirements have been in effect 

for over 19 years. Startup costs have 

been completed. 

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 EPA’s regulations in 40 

CFR are listed in 40 CFR part 9 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 7 hours per 

response for the three categories of 

respondent. 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; 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: 

Manufacturers, reconditioners, and 

installers of aftermarket and/or 

reconditioned automotive catalytic 

converters. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

30,014. 

Frequency of Response: On occasion. 

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 

212,101 hours. 

Estimated Total Annual Cost: 

$8,725,189, which includes $285,824 

annualized capital/startup costs, 

$390,064 annual O&M costs, and 

$8,049,201 annual labor costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is an 

increase of 100,793 hours in the total 

estimated burden currently identified in 

the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR 

Burdens. The increase is due to an error 

in calculations in the previous ICR, and 

not an actual increase in respondent 

burden hours. A combination of errors 

in calculations in the previous ICR (67 

FR 319–320, Jan. 3, 2002) led to the 

annual burden hours for installers being 

represented as 3.5 hours/year, rather 

than 7 hours/year. Spread over 30,000 

installer respondents this led to a 

shortfall of 104,000 burden hours. This 

figure has been correctly calculated in 

this ICR renewal. There is, therefore, no 

increase in burden hours to the 

industry, rather the correction of a 

previous error which accounts for the 

higher burden hour numbers.

Title: NSPS for Metallic Mineral 

Processing Plants (Renewal). 

Abstract: The New Source 

Performance Standards (NSPS) for 

Metallic Mineral Processing Plants were 

proposed on August 24, 1982, and 

promulgated on February 21, 1984. 

These standards apply to the following 

facilities in Metallic Mineral Processing 

Plants: Each crusher and screen in openpit mines; each crusher, screen, bucket 

elevator, conveyor belt transfer point, 

thermal dryer, product packaging 

station, storage bin, enclosed storage 

area, truck loading and unloading 

station at the mill or concentrator, 

commencing construction, modification 

or reconstruction after the date of 

proposal. The NSPS does not apply to 

facilities located in underground mines, 

or to facilities performing the 

beneficiation of uranium ore at uranium 

ore processing plants. 

Particulate matter (PM) is the 

pollutant regulated under this subpart. 

The standards limit the particulate 

matter emissions from the stack to 0.05 

grams per dry standard cubic meter and 

to 7 percent opacity. Those sources that 

are using a wet scrubbing control device 

are exempted from the 7 percent opacity 

requirement. No affected facility may 

discharge any process fugitive emissions 

that exhibit greater than 10 percent 

opacity. 

Response to the collection of 

information is mandatory under 40 CFR 

part 60, subpart LL. Owners or operators 

of the affected facilities described must 

make initial notifications, including 

notification of any physical or 

operational change to an existing facility 

that may increase the regulated 

pollutant emission rate; notification of 

the demonstration of the continuous 

monitoring system (CMS), and 

notification of the initial performance 

test. Performance test reports are needed 

as these are the Agency’s records of a 

source’s initial capability to comply 

with emission standards, and note the 

operating conditions, flow rate and 

pressure drop, under which compliance 

was achieved. Owners of affected 

facilities are required to install, 

calibrate, maintain, and operate a 

continuous monitoring system to 

measure the change in the pressure of 

the gas stream through the scrubber and 

the scrubbing liquid flow rate. 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. 

Semiannual excess emissions reports 

and monitoring systems performance 

reports will include the exceeded 

findings of any control device operating 

parameters, (specified in CFR 40 60.735, 

Recordkeeping and Reporting), the date 

and time of the deviance, the nature and 

cause of the malfunction (if known) and 

the corrective measures taken, and 

identification of the time period during 

which the CMS was inoperative (this 

does not include zero and span checks 

nor typical repairs/adjustments). These 

notifications, reports and records are 

required, in general, of all sources 

subject to NSPS. 

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 EPA’s 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 52 hours per 

response. Burden means the total time, 

effort, or financial resources expended 

by persons to generate, maintain, retain, 

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; 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: 

Metallic Mineral Processing Plants. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

20. 

Frequency of Response: On occasion, 

initially and semiannually. 

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 

2,306 hours. 

Estimated Total Annual Costs: 

$199,140 which includes $0 annualized 

capital/startup costs, $13,000 annual 

O&M costs, and $186,140 Respondent 

Labor costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is an 

increase of 546 hours in the total 

estimated burden currently identified in 

the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR 

Burdens. This increase is due to an 

increase in the estimated number of 

sources that will be reconstructed or 

make or physical/operational changes. 

In addition, the increase in burden is 

due to the inclusion of burden hour 

estimates for management and clerical 

personnel at the plant.
