SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has submitted an 
information collection request (ICR), NESHAP for Integrated Iron and 
Steel Manufacturing Facilities (EPA ICR Number 2003.07, OMB Control

    Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air 
Pollutants (NESHAP) for Integrated Iron and Steel Manufacturing 
Facilities (40 CFR part 63, subpart FFFFF) apply to new and existing 
sinter plants, blast furnaces, and basic oxygen process furnace shops 
at integrated iron and steel manufacturing facilities that are major 
sources of hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) or are co-located at major 
sources. New facilities include those that commenced either 
construction or reconstruction after the date of proposal. 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. This information is being 
collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 63, subpart FFFFF.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Owners or operators of integrated 
iron and steel manufacturing facilities.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR 63, Subpart 
FFFFF).
    Estimated number of respondents: 12 (total).
    Frequency of response: Initially, occasionally, and semiannually.
    Total estimated burden: 11,800 hours (per year). Burden is defined 
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $1,390,000 (per year), which includes $52,700 
in annualized capital/startup and/or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is a decrease in burden from the 
most-recently approved ICR. The decrease in burden is due to a decrease 
in the number of respondents due to more accurate estimates of existing 
and anticipated new sources. The decrease in the number of sources also 
results in a decrease in the operation and maintenance costs. The 
overall result is a decrease in burden hours and costs.
