    Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air 
Pollutants (NESHAP) for Prepared Feeds Manufacturing were promulgated 
on January 5, 2010; and amended on both July 20, 2010, and December 23, 
2011. These regulations apply to existing facilities and new facilities 
where animal feed (other than feed products for dogs and cats) makes up 
at least half (by mass) of the facility's annual production of all 
products. These regulations apply to new and existing area source 
prepared feeds manufacturing facilities that use one or more materials 
(additives/premixes) that contain 0.1 percent or greater by weight of 
chromium (Cr) or 1.0 percent or greater by weight of manganese (Mn). 
New facilities include those that commenced construction or 
reconstruction after the date of proposal. This information is being 
collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 63, subpart DDDDDDD.
    Form numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Prepared feeds manufacturing 
facilities

that are an area source of hazardous air pollutants (HAPs).
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 63, 
subpart DDDDDDD).
    Estimated number of respondents: 1,800 (total).
    Frequency of response: Quarterly, annually.
    Total estimated burden: 64,100 hours (per year). Burden is defined 
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $7,700,000 (per year), which includes $41,000 
in annualized capital/startup and/or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the estimates: There is no change in burden from the 
most-recently approved ICR as currently identified in the OMB Inventory 
of Approved Burdens. This is due to two considerations. First, the 
regulations have not changed over the past three years and are not 
anticipated to change over the next three years. Second, the growth 
rate for this industry is very low or non-existent, so there is no 
significant change in the overall burden. There is an increase in the 
O&M costs from the most recently approved ICR as currently identified 
in the OMB Inventory of Approved Burdens. The capital costs were 
adjusted from 2010 to 2020 $ using the CEPCI Equipment Cost Index, and 
the O&M costs are assumed to be 10 percent of the capital costs; 
therefore, there is a corresponding increase in the O&M costs.
