    Title: Secondary Non-Ferrous Metals Processing Area Source Standard 
Development Questionnaire.
    Abstract: The proposed ICR will collect information and data from 
110 existing secondary non-ferrous metal processing plants. Plants will 
be required to complete a simple paper questionnaire on production 
processes and equipment, air pollution control systems, pollution 
prevention management practices, applicable regulatory requirements, 
and emissions test data. The questionnaire may be completed from 
existing information; no additional monitoring or testing is required. 
The EPA will use the collected information and data to develop area 
source standards for hazardous air pollutants required under section 
112(d) of the Clean Air Act.
    EPA's authority to collect information is contained in section 114 
of the Clean Air Act, (42 U.S.C 7414). All information submitted to EPA 
pursuant to this ICR for which a claim of confidentiality is made is 
safeguarded according to Agency policies in 40 CFR part 2, subpart B.
    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 62 
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; 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: Entities potentially affected by 
this action are secondary non-ferrous metals processing establishments, 
excluding plants that perform secondary processing of aluminum, copper, 
or lead. The standard industrial classification (SIC) code for this 
industry is primarily 3341, Secondary Smelting and Refining of Non-
ferrous Metals; the North American Industry Classification System 
(NAICS) code is 331492, Secondary Smelting, Refining, and Alloying of 
Non-ferrous Metal (Except Copper and Aluminum).
    Estimated Number of Respondents: The estimated number of 
respondents is 110.
    Frequency of Response: This is a new collection requiring a one-
time response.
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: The estimated total annual hour 
burden is 2,281 person-hours.
    Estimated Total Annual Cost: $179,456, which includes $0 annualized 
capital/startup costs, $0 annual O&M costs, and $179,456 annual labor 
costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: This section does not apply since this is 
a new collection.

    Dated: September 27, 2005.

Director, Collection Strategies Division.
