Short
Characterization/
Abstract
The
New
Source
Performance
Standards
(
NSPS)
for
Secondary
Lead
Smelters
were
proposed
on
June
11,
1973
and
promulgated
on
March
8,
1974.
These
standards
apply
to
the
following
facilities
in
NSPS
Subpart
L,
Secondary
Lead
Smelters:
any
pot
furnace
of
more
than
250
kg
charging
capacity,
blast
(
cupola)
furnaces,
and
reverberatory
furnaces,
commencing
construction,
modification,
or
reconstruction
after
the
date
of
proposal.
This
information
is
being
collected
to
assure
compliance
with
40
CFR
Part
60,
Subpart
L.

Owners
or
operators
of
the
affected
facilities
described
must
make
one­
time­
only
notifications.
Owners
or
operators
are
also
required
to
maintain
records
of
the
occurrence
and
duration
of
any
startup,
shutdown,
or
malfunction
in
the
operation
of
any
affected
facility.
There
are
no
monitoring
requirements
specific
to
NSPS,
Subpart
L.
These
notifications,
reports,
and
records
are
essential
in
determining
compliance;
and
are
required,
in
general,
of
all
sources
subject
to
NSPS.

Any
owner
or
operator
subject
to
the
provisions
of
this
part
shall
maintain
a
file
of
these
measurements,
and
retain
the
file
for
at
least
two
years
following
the
date
of
such
measurements,
2
maintenance
reports,
and
records.

Approximately
23
sources
are
currently
subject
to
the
standard,
and
it
is
estimated
that
no
additional
sources
will
become
subject
to
the
standard
in
the
next
three
years.
These
numbers
are
consistent
with
the
numbers
in
the
previously
approved
ICR
and
are
based
on
data
in
EPA's
Aerometric
Information
Retrieval
System
(
AIRS)
database.
The
cost
of
this
ICR
will
be
$
1,895.43
dollars.
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.

2.
Need
for
and
Use
of
the
Collection
2(
a)
Need/
Authority
for
the
Collection
The
EPA
is
charged
under
Section
111
of
the
Clean
Air
Act,
as
amended,
to
establish
standards
of
performance
for
new
stationary
sources
that
reflect:

.
.
.
application
of
the
best
technological
system
of
continuous
emissions
reduction
which
(
taking
into
consideration
the
cost
of
achieving
such
emissions
reduction,
or
any
nonair
quality
health
and
environmental
impact
and
energy
requirements)
the
Administrator
determines
has
been
adequately
demonstrated
[
Section
111(
a)(
l)].

The
Agency
refers
to
this
charge
as
selecting
the
best
demonstrated
technology
(
BDT).

Section
111
also
requires
that
the
Administrator
review
and,
if
appropriate,
revise
such
standards
every
four
years.

In
addition,
Section
114(
a)
states
that:

.
.
.
the
Administrator
may
require
any
owner
or
operator
subject
to
any
requirement
of
this
Act
to:
(
A)
establish
and
maintain
such
records,
(
B)
make
such
reports,
(
C)

install,
use,
and
maintain
such
monitoring
equipment
or
methods
(
in
accordance
with
3
such
methods
at
such
locations,
at
such
intervals,
and
in
such
manner
as
the
Administrator
shall
prescribe),
and
(
D)
sample
such
emissions,
(
E)
Keep
records
on
control
equipment
parameters,
production
variables
or
other
indirect
data
when
direct
monitoring
of
emissions
is
impractical,
(
F)
submit
compliance
certifications,
and
(
G)

provide
such
other
information
as
he
may
reasonably
require.

In
the
Administrator's
judgment,
lead
and
non­
lead
particulate
matter
emissions
from
secondary
lead
smelters
cause
or
contribute
to
air
pollution
that
may
reasonably
be
anticipated
to
endanger
public
health
or
welfare.
Therefore,
NSPS
were
promulgated
for
this
source
category
at
40
CFR
Part
60
Subpart
L.

2(
b)
PRACTICAL
UTILITY/
USERS
OF
THE
DATA
The
control
of
emissions
of
particulate
matter
from
secondary
lead
smelters
requires
not
only
the
installation
of
properly
designed
equipment,
but
also
the
operation
and
maintenance
of
that
equipment.
Emissions
of
lead
and
non­
lead
particulate
matter
from
secondary
lead
smelters
are
the
result
of
operation
of
pot
furnaces,
blast
furnaces,
and
reverberatory
furnaces.
These
standards
rely
on
the
capture
and
collection
of
particulate
matter
by
particulate
emission
control
devices
such
as
an
electrostatic
precipitator
or
scrubber.
The
required
notifications
are
used
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
operated
and
the
standard
is
being
met.
Performance
test
reports
are
needed
as
these
are
the
Agency's
record
of
a
source's
initial
capability
to
comply
with
the
emission
standard,
and
serve
as
a
record
of
the
operating
conditions
under
which
compliance
was
achieved.
Operating
conditions
include
the
particulate
matter
concentration
in
the
gas
stream
4
during
operation
of
a
blast
(
cupola)
or
reverberatory
furnace
and
opacity
of
gases
from
a
pot
furnace.
Adequate
monitoring,
recordkeeping,
and
reporting
is
necessary
to
ensure
compliance
with
these
standards,
as
required
by
the
Clean
Air
Act.
The
information
collected
from
recordkeeping
and
reporting
requirements
is
also
used
for
targeting
inspections,
and
is
of
sufficient
quality
to
be
used
as
evidence
in
court.

3.
Nonduplication,
Consultations,
and
Other
Collection
Criteria
3(
a)
Nonduplication
The
recordkeeping
and
reporting
requested
is
required
under
40
CFR
Part
60,

Subpart
L.
If
the
standard
has
not
been
delegated
the
information
is
sent
to
the
appropriate
EPA
Regional
Office.
Otherwise,
the
information
is
sent
directly
to
the
delegated
State
or
Local
Agency.
If
a
State
or
Local
agency
has
adopted
their
own
similar
regulation
to
implement
the
Federal
Regulation,
a
copy
of
the
report
submitted
to
the
State
or
Local
Agency
can
be
sent
to
the
Administrator
in
lieu
of
the
report
required
by
the
Federal
Standard.
Therefore,
no
duplication
exists.

3(
b)
Public
Notice
Required
Prior
to
ICR
Submission
to
OMB
An
announcement
of
a
public
comment
period
for
the
renewal
of
this
ICR
was
published
in
the
Federal
Register
Volume
64,
No.
157
on
August
16,
1999.

3(
c)
Consultations
No
comments
were
received
on
the
burden
published
in
the
Federal
Register
Notice
on
August
16,
1999.
5
3(
d)
Effects
of
Less
Frequent
Collection
Less
frequent
information
collection
would
decrease
the
margin
of
assurance
that
facilities
are
continuing
to
meet
the
required
standards.
Requirements
for
information
gathering
and
recordkeeping
are
useful
techniques
to
ensure
that
good
operation
and
maintenance
practices
are
applied
and
emission
limitations
are
met.
If
the
information
required
by
these
standards
was
collected
less
frequently,
the
likelihood
of
detecting
poor
operation
and
maintenance
of
control
equipment
and
noncompliance
would
decrease.

3(
e)
General
Guidelines
None
of
the
reporting
or
recordkeeping

and
other
information
that
have
been
determined
not
to
be
private.
However,
any

5(
b)
Collection
Methodology
and
Management
Following
notification
of
startup,
the
reviewing
authority
might
inspect
the
source
to
determine
whether
the
pollution
control
devices
are
properly
installed
and
operated.
Performance
test
reports
are
used
by
the
Agency
to
discern
a
source's
initial
capability
to
comply
with
the
emission
standard,
and
note
the
operating
conditions
under
which
compliance
was
achieved.
Data
and
records
maintained
by
the
respondents
are
tabulated
and
published
for
use
in
compliance
and
enforcement
programs.

Information
contained
in
the
reports
is
entered
into
AIRS
which
is
operated
and
maintained
by
EPA's
Office
of
Air
Quality
Planning
and
Standards.
AIRS
is
EPA's
database
for
the
collection,
maintenance,
and
retrieval
of
compliance
and
annual
emission
inventory
data
for
9
over
100,000
industrial
and
government­
owned
facilities.
EPA
uses
AIRS
for
tracking
air
pollution
compliance
and
enforcement
by
Local
and
State
regulatory
agencies,
and
EPA
Regional
Offices
and
Headquarters.
EPA
and
its
delegated
Authorities
can
edit,
store,
retrieve
and
analyze
the
data.
The
records
required
by
this
regulation
must
be
retained
by
the
owner
or
operator
for
two
years.

5(
c)
Small
Entity
Flexibility
The
recordkeeping
and
reporting
requirements
were
selected
within
the
context
of
this
specific
subpart
and
the
specific
process
equipment
and
pollutant(
s).
The
requirements
reflect
the
burden
on
small
businesses.
To
the
extent
that
larger
businesses
can
use
economies
of
scale
to
reduce
their
burden,
the
overall
burden
will
be
reduced.
Although
the
recordkeeping
and
reporting
requirements
are
the
same
for
small
and
larger
businesses,
the
Agency
considers
these
requirements
the
minimum
needed
to
ensure
compliance
and,
therefore,
cannot
reduce
them
further
for
small
businesses.

Collection
Schedule
The
specific
frequency
for
each
information
collection
activity
within
this

documents
the
computation
of
individual
burdens
for
each
of
the
recordkeeping
and
reporting
requirements
applicable
to
the
industry.
The
individual
burdens
are
expressed
under
standardized
headings
believed
to
be
consistent
with
the
concept
of
burden
under
the
Paperwork
Reduction
Act.
Where
appropriate,
specific
tasks
and
major
assumptions
have
been
identified.

Responses
to
this
information
collection
are
mandatory
(
40
CFR
Part
60,
Subpart
L).
The
10
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.

6(
a)
Estimating
Respondent
Burden
The
average
annual
burden
to
industry
over
the
next
three
years
from
these
recordkeeping
and
reporting
requirements
is
estimated
at
34.5
person­
hours.
These
hours
are
based
on
Agency
studies
and
background
documents
from
the
development
of
the
standards
or
test
methods,

Agency
knowledge
and
experience
with
the
NSPS
program,
the
previously
approved
ICR,
and
any
comments
received.

6(
b)
Estimating
Respondent
Costs
(
I)
Estimating
Labor
Costs
This
ICR
uses
technical
labor
rates
of
$
26.16
plus
110%
overhead
which
equals
$
54.94.

These
rates
are
from
the
United
States
Department
of
Commerce
Bureau
of
Labor
Statistics,

March
1999,
Table
10:
Employment
Costs
for
Private
Industry
by
Occupational
and
Industry
Group.
The
rates
are
from
column
1:
Total
compensation.
The
wage
rates
have
been
loaded
by
adding
110%
overhead.
Only
technical
labor
rates
are
used
because
most
of
this
standard's
requirements
involve
initial
reporting
of
performance
tests
for
new
sources
which
is
not
anticipated
to
occur
in
the
next
three
years
or
recordkeeping
at
existing
sources
of
startups,
shutdowns
and
malfunctions
.

(
ii)
Estimating
Capital
and
Operations
and
Maintenance
Costs
The
only
type
of
industry
costs
associated
with
the
information
collection
activity
in
the
standards
are
labor
costs.
The
capital
start
up
costs
are
one
time
costs
when
a
facility
becomes
subject
to
the
standard.
There
are
no
capital
start
up
costs
for
this
regulation
since
there
are
no
11
new
sources
anticipated
during
the
next
three
years.
There
are
no
annual
operations
and
maintenance
costs.
This
is
based
on
the
fact
that
no
continuous
monitoring
is
required
under
this
standard.
The
average
annual
burden
for
capital
and
operations
and
maintenance
costs
to
industry
over
the
next
three
years
of
the
ICR
is
estimated
to
be
$
0.

(

Capital/
Start­
up
vs.

Costs
This
section
is
not
applicable
since
there
is
no
continuous
monitoring
required
in
NSPS
Subpart

Estimating
Agency
Burden
and
Cost
The
only
Federal
costs
are
user
costs
associated
with
analysis
of
the
reported
information.

Publication
and
distribution
of
the
information
are
part
of
the
AIRS
program.
Examination
of
records
to
be
maintained
by
the
respondents
will
occur
as
part
of
the
periodic
inspection
of
sources,
which
is
part
of
EPA's
overall
compliance
and
enforcement
program.

The
average
annual

the
3
years
of
the

This
cost
is
based
on
an
average
wage
of
a

Estimating
the
Respondent
Universe
and
Total
Burden
and
Costs
The
number
of
existing
sources
subject
to
NSPS
Subpart
L
is
23.
The
number
of
new
sources
subject
to
NSPS
Subpart
L
is
zero.
The
number
of
total
respondents
is
23.
This
is
the
number
of
existing
sources
plus
the
number
of
sources
anticipated
in
one
year.
The
total
annual
responses
is
34.5.
This
number
is
calculated
from
the
number
of
new
sources
multiplied
by
the
number
of
initial
reports,
plus
the
number
of
existing
sources
multiplied
by
the
recordkeeping
12
requirements.
The
total
annual
labor
costs
are
$
1,895.43
and
total
annual
capital
and
O&
M
costs
to
the
regulated
entity
are
$
0
dollars.

upon
which
this
estimate
is

Reasons
for
Change
in
Burden
The
increase
in
burden
from
the
most
recently
approved
ICR
is
due
to
a
labor
rate
increase
not
a
burden
hour
change.
There
has
been
no
change
in
the
number
of
sources.

a.
Assume
that
no
new
sources,
on
average,
will
be
subject
to
NSPS,
Subparts
N
and
Na.
Therefore,
this
estimate
is
for
existing
sources
only.

b.
Assume
that
all
sources
use
venturi
scrubbers
for
pollution
control
and
that
half
of
the
sources
have
either
a
reportable
pressure
loss
through
the
venturi
constriction
or
water
supply
pressure
to
the
control
equipment.

c.
Assume
an
hourly
wage
of
$
23.80
based
on
Table
2
of
the
March
1998
report
of
the
U.
S.
Department
of
Commerce
Bureau
of
Labor
Statistics
.
This
amount
was
multiplied
by
the
hours
per
year
in
Column
E.

d.
Assume
the
10%
of
the
existing
sources
conduct
a
performance
test
due
to
operational
or
physical
changes.
e.
Assume
50
percent
of
sources
submit
semiannual
report
of
measurements
over
any
3­
hour
period
that
average
more
than
10
percent
below
the
average
levels
maintained
during
the
most
recent
performance
test.

f.
Assume
operation
365
days
per
year
as
specified
in
the
NSPS
review
