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.
