    Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air 
Pollutants (NESHAP) for Ferroalloys Production Area Sources (40 CFR 
part 63, subpart YYYYYY) apply to existing and new ferroalloy 
production facilities that are an area source of hazardous air 
pollutant (HAP) emissions. In general, all NESHAP standards require 
initial notifications, performance tests, and periodic reports by the 
owners/operators of the affected facilities. They 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. These 
notifications, reports, and records are essential in determining 
compliance, and are required of all affected facilities subject to 
NESHAP.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Owners and operators of area source 
ferroalloys production facilities.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 63, 
subpart YYYYYY).
    Estimated number of respondents: 10 (total).
    Frequency of response: Initially, annually, and periodically.
    Total estimated burden: 391 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 
5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $41,100 (per year), which includes $0 for 
annualized capital/startup and/or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: The increase in burden from the most 
recently approved ICR is due to an adjustment. Hours were added to 
approximate the time spent by each source to familiarize with the rule 
requirements.

Director, Regulatory Support Division.
