Title: NSPS for Metallic Mineral 

Processing Plants (Renewal). 

ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 

0982.09, OMB Control Number 2060– 

0016. 

ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to 

expire on November 30, 2008. 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 collection 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 48 CFR chapter 15, and 

displayed either by publication in the 

Federal Register or by 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 New Source 

Performance Standards (NSPS) for 

Metallic Mineral Processing Plants (40 

CFR part 60, subpart LL) were 

promulgated on February 21, 1984. This 

NSPS affects owners and operators of 

metallic mineral processing plants. 

Owners and operators must conduct 

initial performance tests, maintain 

records of startups, shutdowns, and 

malfunction and continuous monitoring 

system parameters, and submit semiannual reports. These notifications, 

reports, and records are essential in 

determining compliance; and are 

required, in general, of all sources 

subject to NSPS. 

Notifications are to inform the Agency 

or delegated authority when a source 

becomes subject to the standard. The 

reviewing authority may then inspect 

the source to check if the pollution 

control devices are properly installed 

and operating and the standards are 

being met. Performance test reports are 

required as these are the Agency’s 

records of a source’s initial capability to 

comply with the emission standards and 

to serve as a record of the operating 

conditions under which compliance is 

to be achieved. The information 

generated by monitoring, recordkeeping 

and reporting requirements described in 

this ICR are used by the Agency to 

ensure that facilities affected by the 

standard continue to operate the control 

equipment and achieve continuous 

compliance with the regulation. 

All reports are sent to the delegated 

state or local authority. In the event that 

there is no such delegated authority, the 

reports are sent directly to the EPA 

regional office. This information is 

being collected to assure compliance 

with 40 CFR part 60, subpart LL, as 

authorized in section 112 and 114(a) of 

the Clean Air Act. The required 

information consists of emissions data 

and other information that has been 

determined to be private. 

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, 

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; adjusting 

the existing ways to comply with any 

previously applicable instructions and 

requirements which have subsequently 

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: 

Metallic mineral processing plants. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 

20. 

Frequency of Response: Initially, 

occasionally, and semiannually. 

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 

2,306. 

Estimated Total Annual Cost: 

$199,140, which is comprised of 

$13,000 in O&M costs, $186,140 in labor 

costs, and no annualized capital/startup costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is no 

change in the total estimated burden 

currently identified in the OMB 

Inventory of Approved ICR Burdens.
