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 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 

Primary and Secondary Emissions from 

Basic Oxygen Furnaces (40 CFR part 60, 

subparts N and Na) were promulgated 

on July 25, 1977 and January 2, 1986, 

respectively. These rules apply to Basic 

Oxygen Process Furnaces (BOPFs) in 

iron and steel plants commencing 

construction, modification or 

reconstruction after June 11, 1973 

(NSPS subpart N) and top-blown 

BOPFs, hot metal transfer stations or 

skimming stations for which 

construction, reconstruction, or 

modification commenced after January 

20, 1983 (NSPS subpart Na). 

Owners or operators of the affected 

facilities must make an initial 

notification, performance tests, periodic 

reports, and maintain records of the 

occurrence and duration of an affected 

facility, or any period during which the 

monitoring system is inoperative. 

Reports, at a minimum, are required 

semiannually. These notifications, 

reports, and records are essential in 

determining compliance; and are 

required, in general, of all sources 

subject to NSPS. 

Burden Statement: The annual public 

reporting and recordkeeping burden for 

this collection of information is 

estimated to average 158 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 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: 

Facilities with basic oxygen furnaces. 

Estimated Number of Respondents: 5. 

Frequency of Response: Initially, 

occasionally, and semiannually. 

Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 

1,896. 

Estimated Total Annual Cost: 

$179,440, which is comprised of $8,397 

in O&M costs, $153,043 in labor costs, 

and $18,000 in annualized capital/ 

startup costs. 

Changes in the Estimates: There is no 

change in the labor hours to the 

respondents in this ICR compared to the 

previous ICR. 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 respondents is either very low, 

or negative, or non-existent. Therefore, 

the labor hours in the previous ICR 

reflect the current burden to the 

respondents and are reiterated in this 

ICR. There is a minor change to the cost 

figures, since the previous ICR rounded 

to the nearest $1,000; this ICR presents 

cost figures which differ by $397 from 

the previous ICR due to using exact 

figures instead of rounding.

white.kathleen@epa.gov. General 

information concerning the SAB can be 

found on the EPA Web site at http:// 

www.epa.gov/SAB. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The SAB 

was established by 42 U.S.C. 4365 to 

provide independent scientific and 

technical advice, consultation, and 

recommendations to the EPA 

Administrator on the technical basis for 

Agency positions and regulations. The 

SAB is a Federal advisory committee 

chartered under the Federal Advisory 

Committee Act (FACA), as amended, 5 

U.S.C., App. The SAB will comply with 

the provisions of FACA and all 

appropriate SAB Staff Office procedural 

policies. 

Background: The SAB Integrated 

Nitrogen Committee is studying the 

need for integrated research and 

strategies to reduce reactive nitrogen in 

the environment. At the global scale, 

reactive nitrogen from human activities 

now exceeds that produced by natural 

terrestrial ecosystems. Reactive nitrogen 

both benefits and impacts the health 

and welfare of people and ecosystems. 

Scientific information suggests that 

reactive nitrogen is accumulating in the 

environment and that nitrogen cycling 

through biogeochemical pathways has a 

variety of consequences. Research 

suggests that the management of 

reactive nitrogen should be viewed from 

a systems perspective and integrated 

across environmental media. 

Accordingly, linkages between reactive 

nitrogen induced environmental and 

human health effects need to be 

understood to optimize reactive 

nitrogen research and risk management 

strategies. Information on the 

Committee’s previous meetings was
