Secondary
Brass
and
Bronze
The
NSPS
for
Brass
and
Bronze,
subpart
M,
were
proposed
on
June
11,
1973,
promulgated
on
March
8,
1974,
and
amended
most
recently
on
February
14,
1989.
Any
facility
that
commences
construction
or
modification
after
June
11,
1973
is
subject
to
the
requirements
of
this
subpart.
These
standards
apply
to
the
following
facilities
in
secondary
brass
or
bronze
production
plants:
reverberatory
and
electric
furnaces
of
1,000
kg
or
greater
production
capacity
and
blast
(
cupola)
furnaces
of
250
kg/
hr
or
greater
production
capacity.
Furnaces
from
which
molten
brass
or
bronze
are
cast
into
the
shape
of
finished
products,
such
as
foundry
furnaces,
are
not
considered
to
be
affected
facilities.
This
information
is
being
collected
to
assure
compliance
with
40
CFR
part
60,
subpart
M.

It
is
estimated
that
there
are
11
brass
and
bronze
producers
of
brass
and
bronze
ingots
operating
nationwide,
of
which
many
are
small
businesses.
We
have
further
assumed
that
only
five
of
the
brass
and
bronze
producers
are
subject
to
the
NSPS
standard,
and
that
no
additional
sources
per
year
will
become
subject
to
the
standard
in
the
next
three
years.
2
Primary
Copper
Smelters
The
NSPS
Primary
Copper
Smelters,
subpart
P,
were
proposed
on
October
16,
1974,
and
promulgated
on
January
15,
1976.
Any
facility
that
commences
construction
or
modification
after
October
16,
1974,
is
subject
to
the
requirements
of
this
subpart.
These
standards
apply
to
the
following
facilities
in
primary
copper
smelters:
dryer,
roaster,
smelting
furnace,
and
copper
converter.
This
information
is
being
collected
to
assure
compliance
with
40
CFR
part
60,
subpart
P.

It
is
estimated
that
there
are
seven
copper
smelters
in
the
United
States,
of
which
six
are
engaged
in
the
production
of
anode
copper
from
copper
ore
concentrates
using
pyrometallic
processes
and
would
be
subject
to
the
NSPS
standard.
There
is
another
copper
smelter
which
uses
a
continuous
flash
furnace
for
converting
matter
copper
to
blister
copper
and
is
not
covered
by
this
rule.
We
have
further
assumed
that
no
additional
sources
will
become
subject
to
the
standard
in
the
next
three
years.

Primary
Zinc
Smelters
The
NSPS
for
Primary
Zinc
Smelters,
subpart
Q,
were
proposed
on
October
16,
1974,
and
promulgated
on
January
15,
1976.
Any
facility
that
commences
construction
or
modification
after
October
16,
1974,
is
subject
to
the
requirements
of
this
subpart.
These
standards
apply
to
the
following
facilities
in
primary
zinc
smelters:
roaster
and
sintering
machines.
This
information
is
being
collected
to
assure
compliance
with
40
CFR
part
60,
subpart
Q.

It
is
estimated
there
is
only
one
pryrometallurgical
zinc
manufacturing
facility
operating
nationwide
which
is
subject
to
the
NSPS
standard.
We
have
further
assumed
that
no
additional
sources
will
become
subject
to
the
standard
in
the
next
three
years.

Primary
Lead
Smelters
The
NSPS
for
Primary
Lead
Smelters,
subpart
R,
were
proposed
on
October
16,
1974,
and
promulgated
on
January
15,
1976.
Any
facility
that
commences
construction
or
modification
after
October
16,
1974,
is
subject
to
the
requirements
of
this
subpart.
These
standards
apply
to
the
following
facilities
in
primary
lead
smelters:
sintering
machine,
sintering
machine
discharge
end,
blast
furnace,
dross
reverberatory
furnace,
electric
smelting
furnace,
and
converter.
This
information
is
being
collected
to
assure
compliance
with
40
CFR
part
60,
subpart
R.

It
is
estimated
that
there
are
three
primary
pryrometallurgical
lead
smelters
currently
operating
nationwide.
However,
only
one
lead
smelter
is
estimated
to
be
subject
to
the
NSPS
standard.
We
have
further
assumed
that
no
additional
sources
will
become
subject
to
the
standard
in
the
next
three
years.
3
Primary
Aluminum
Reduction
Plants
The
NSPS
for
Primary
Aluminum
Reduction
Plants,
subpart
S,
were
proposed
on
October
23,
1974,
promulgated
on
July
25,
1977,
and
amended
most
recently
on
February
14,
1989.
Any
facility
that
commences
construction
or
modification
after
October
23,
1974,
is
subject
to
the
requirements
of
this
subpart.
These
standards
apply
to
the
following
facilities
in
primary
aluminum
reduction
plants:
potroom
groups
and
anode
bake
plants.
This
information
is
being
collected
to
assure
compliance
with
40
CFR
part
60,
subpart
S.

It
is
estimated
that
there
are
23
primary
aluminum
plants
currently
operating
nationwide.
The
23
plants
are
estimated
to
have
91
potlines
that
produce
aluminum.
Each
plant
has
a
paste
production
plant,
and
only
17
of
these
plants
have
anode
bake
furnaces.
Of
the
total
number
of
plants,
we
have
assumed
that
five
potlines
at
four
primary
aluminum
plants
are
subject
to
the
NSPS
standard.
However,
the
Agency
has
allowed
sources
to
comply
with
the
requirements
for
potroom
groups
and
anode
bake
furnaces
in
40
CFR
part
63,
subpart
LL
("
MACT
standard")
as
an
alternative
to
the
NSPS
requirements.
We
have
assumed
that
sources
have
elected
to
comply
with
the
MACT
requirements
for
anode
bake
furnaces
and
therefore,
the
burden
for
the
NSPS
standard
would
be
associated
with
meeting
the
requirements
for
potrooms
only.
We
have
further
assumed
that
any
new
source
potentially
subject
to
the
NSPS
standard
will
elect
to
comply
with
the
MACT
standard
provisions
and
as
a
result
no
new
sources
will
become
subject
to
the
NSPS
standard
in
the
future.

Ferroalloy
Production
Facilities
The
NSPS
for
Ferroalloy
Production,
subpart
Z,
were
proposed
on
October
21,
1974,
promulgated
on
July
25,
1977,
and
amended
most
recently
on
February
14,
1990.
Any
facility
that
commences
construction
or
modification
after
October
21,
1974,
is
subject
to
the
requirements
of
this
subpart.
These
standards
apply
to
the
following
facilities
in
ferroalloy
production
plants:
electric
submerged
arc
furnaces
which
produce
silicon
metal,
ferrosilicon,
calcium
silicon,
silicomanganese
zirconium,
ferrochrome
silicon,
silvery
iron,
high­
carbon
ferrochrome,
charge
chrome,
standard
ferromanganese,
silicomanganese,
ferromanganese
silicon,
or
calcium
carbide;
and
dust­
handling
equipment.
This
information
is
being
collected
to
assure
compliance
with
40
CFR
part
60,
subpart
Z.

It
is
estimated
that
there
are
only
seven
ferroalloy
production
facilities
currently
operating
nationwide.
Of
the
total
number
of
facilities,
we
have
assumed
that
only
one
ferroalloy
production
facility
is
subject
to
the
NSPS
standard.
We
have
further
assumed
that
no
additional
sources
per
year
will
become
subject
to
the
NSPS
standard
over
the
next
three
years
since
demand
for
domestic
production
of
ferroalloys
has
declined.

General
Provisions
Applicable
to
all
NSPS
Standards
4
In
general,
all
NSPS
standards
require
initial
notifications,
performance
tests,
and
periodic
reports.
Owners
or
operators
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
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,
maintenance
reports,
and
records.
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
United
States
Environmental
Protection
Agency
(
EPA)
regional
office.

OMB
Terms
of
Clearance
In
the
development
of
this
Information
Collection
Request
(
ICR),
we
reviewed
the
Office
of
Management
and
Budget
(
OMB)
"
Terms
of
Clearance"
(
TOC)
section
on
the
active
ICR.
The
TOC
section
states:

This
ICR
is
approved
pursuant
to
5
CFR
1320.
When
EPA
resubmits
this
ICR
for
renewal,
it
must
evaluate,
after
consulting
with
respondents,
the
burden
estimates
for
reporting
and
recordkeeping
requirements.
EPA
must
list
the
names,
affiliations,
and
phone
numbers
of
the
respondents
it
contacted.
In
addition,
EPA
should
update
the
wage
rates
used
in
the
supporting
statement
and
should
ensure
that
those
rates
have
been
properly
loaded
to
include
overhead,
consistent
with
current
EPA
and
OMB
guidelines.

The
estimated
number
of
respondents
and
the
burden
associated
with
reporting
and
recordkeeping
for
each
of
the
NSPS
standards
addressed
by
this
ICR
were
based
on:
1)
consultation
with
staff
in
EPA's
Office
of
Air
Quality
Planning
and
Standards
(
OAQPS),
the
Non­
Ferrous
Founders'
Society,
the
Aluminum
Association
and
EPA
Region
7;
2)
comparison
of
EPA
industry
data
gathered
during
the
development
of
the
NSPS
rules
and
during
more
recent
rules
applicable
to
the
same
industry
sectors,
the
EPA's
Air
Facility
System
(
AFS)
database
through
the
Online
Tracking
Information
System
(
OTIS),
the
Sector
Facility
Indexing
Project
(
SFIP)
for
primary
nonferrous
metal
smelters,
and
the
EPA
Technology
Transfer
Air
Toxics
Website;
and
3)
information
gathered
from
industry­
related
web
sites
on
the
Internet.
The
names,
affiliations
and
phone
numbers
of
the
entities
that
were
consulted
during
the
development
of
this
ICR
are
listed
in
Section
3(
c)
of
this
document.
Based
on
all
the
information
gathered,
as
it
is
specified
in
the
individual
descriptions
of
the
industry
sectors
above,
we
have
concluded
that
the
production
of
domestic
nonferrous
metals
has
declined
over
the
past
decade
resulting
in
no
new
plants
being
built
and
in
many
plants
permanently
closing
down
operations.
5
We
also
updated
the
wage
rates
from
the
active
ICR
based
on
the
data
published
by
the
United
States
Department
of
Labor,
Bureau
of
Labor
Statistics,
in
June
2003,
as
discussed
in
Section
6(
b)
of
this
document.

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
(
CAA),
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
non­
air
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,
and
use
such
audit
procedures,
or
methods;
(
D)
sample
such
emissions
(
in
accordance
with
such
procedures
or
methods,
at
such
locations,
at
such
intervals,
during
such
periods,
and
in
such
manner
as
the
Administrator
shall
prescribe);
(
E)
keep
records
on
control
equipment
parameters,
production
variables
or
other
indirect
data
when
direct
monitoring
of
emissions
is
impractical;
(
F)
submit
compliance
certifications
in
accordance
with
Section
114(
a)(
3);
and
(
G)
provide
such
other
information
as
the
Administrator
may
reasonably
require.

In
the
Administrator's
judgment,
particulate
matter
emissions
and
sulfur
dioxide
emissions
from
secondary
brass
and
bronze,
primary
copper,
lead
and
zinc
smelter
facilities,
particulate
matter
and
total
fluoride
emissions
from
primary
aluminum
reduction
plants,
and
carbon
monoxide
emissions
from
ferroalloy
production
facilities
cause
or
contribute
to
air
pollution
that
may
reasonably
be
anticipated
to
endanger
public
health
or
welfare.
Therefore,
the
NSPS
were
6
promulgated
for
this
source
category
at
40
CFR
part
60,
subparts
M,
P,
Q,
R,
S
and
Z.

2(
b)
Practical
Utility/
Users
of
the
Data
The
control
of
particulate
matter
and
sulfur
dioxide
emissions
from
secondary
brass
and
bronze
producers
and
primary
copper,
lead
and
zinc
smelter
plants,
of
particulate
matter
and
total
fluoride
emissions
from
primary
aluminum
reduction
plants,
and
of
particulate
matter
and
carbon
monoxide
emissions
from
ferroalloy
production
plants
requires
not
only
the
installation
of
properly
designed
air
pollution
control
equipment,
but
also
the
operation
and
maintenance
of
that
equipment.
These
emissions
are
the
result
of
operation
of
the
affected
facilities
located
at
these
sources.
The
subject
standards
are
achieved
by
the
capture
of
particulate
emissions
and
other
pollutants
affecting
the
opacity
of
the
effluent
gases
emitted
using
air
pollution
control
technology
such
as
filters,
scrubbers,
and
electrostatic
precipitators.

The
information
generated
by
the
monitoring,
recordkeeping
and
reporting
requirements
described
in
this
ICR
is
used
by
the
Agency
to
ensure
that
facilities
affected
by
the
NSPS
continue
to
operate
the
control
equipment
in
compliance
with
the
regulation.
The
notifications
required
in
the
applicable
regulations
are
used
to
inform
the
Agency
or
delegated
authority
when
a
source
becomes
subject
to
the
requirements
of
the
regulations.
The
reviewing
authority
may
then
inspect
the
source
to
check
if
the
pollution
control
devices
are
properly
installed
and
the
regulations
are
being
met.
Performance
test
reports
are
needed
as
these
are
the
Agency's
records
of
a
source's
initial
capability
to
comply
with
the
emission
standards,
and
serve
as
a
record
of
the
operating
conditions
under
which
compliance
was
achieved.
The
semiannual
and
annual
reports
are
used
for
problem
identification,
as
a
check
on
source
operation
and
maintenance,
and
for
compliance
determinations.

Adequate
monitoring,
recordkeeping,
and
reporting
are
necessary
to
ensure
compliance
with
the
applicable
regulations,
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

Nonduplication,
Consultations,
and
Other
Collection
Criteria
The
requested
recordkeeping
and
reporting
are
required
under
40
CFR
part
60,
subparts
M,
P,
Q,
R,
S,
and
Z.

3(
a)
Nonduplication
If
the
subject
standards
have
not
been
delegated,
the
information
is
sent
directly
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
standards
to
implement
the
Federal
standards,
a
copy
of
the
report
submitted
to
the
state
or
local
agency
can
be
sent
to
7
the
Administrator
in
lieu
of
the
report
required
by
the
Federal
standards.
Therefore,
no
duplication
exists.

3(

Public
Notice
Required
Prior
to
ICR
Submission
to
OMB
An
announcement
of
a
public
comment
period
for
the

of
this
ICR
was
published
in
the
Federal

Consultations
The
estimated
number
of
respondents
and
the
burden
associated
with
reporting
and
recordkeeping
for
each
of
the
NSPS
standards
addressed
by
this
ICR
were
based
on:
1)
consultation
with
staff
in
EPA's
Office
of
Air
Quality
Planning
and
Standards
(
OAQPS),
the
Non­
Ferrous

2)
comparison
of
EPA

Effects
of
Less
Frequent
Collection
Less
frequent
information
collection
would
decrease
the
margin
of
assurance
that
facilities
are
continuing
to
meet
the
standards.
Requirements
for
information
gathering
and
recordkeeping
are
useful
techniques
to
ensure
that
good
operation
and
maintenance
practices
are
applied
and
8
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.

Electronic
Reporting
Presently,
sources
are
using
monitoring
equipment
that
provides
parameter
data
in
an
automated
way
(
e.
g.,
flow
rate,
sulfur
dioxide
concentration
and
opacity).
Although
personnel
at
the
source
still
need
to
evaluate
the
data,
this
type
of
monitoring
equipment
has
significantly
reduced
the
burden
associated
with
monitoring
and
recordkeeping.
In
addition,
some
regulatory
agencies
are
setting
up
electronic
reporting
systems
to
allow
sources
to
report
electronically
which
is
reducing
the
reporting
burden.
However,
electronic
reporting
systems
are
still
not
widely
used
by
the
regulatory
agencies.
It
is
estimated
that
approximately
10
percent
of
the
respondents
use
electronic
reporting.

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.
Data
and
records
maintained
by
the
respondents
are
tabulated
and
published
for
use
in
compliance
and
enforcement
programs.
The
semiannual
reports
of
any
excess
emissions
and
the
monthly
or
annual
performance
tests
are
used
for
problem
identification,
as
a
check
on
source
operation
and
maintenance,
and
for
compliance
determinations.

Information
contained
in
the
reports
is
entered
into
the
AFS
which
is
operated
and
maintained
by
EPA's
Office
of
Compliance.
AFS
is
EPA's
database
for
the
collection,
maintenance,
and
retrieval
of
compliance
and
annual
emission
inventory
data
for
more
than
100,000
industrial
and
government­
owned
facilities.
EPA
uses
the
AFS
for
tracking
air
pollution
compliance
and
enforcement
by
local
and
state
regulatory
agencies,
EPA
regional
offices
and
EPA
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
sources
affected
by
this
ICR
consist
of
both
large
and
small
businesses.
However,
many
of
the
primary
nonferrous
facilities
are
operated
by
large
corporations.
In
the
development
of
the
NSPS
standards,
the
recordkeeping
and
reporting
requirements
were
selected
within
the
context
of
the
specific
subpart
and
the
specific
industry
sector
processes
equipment
and
pollutants.
The
standards
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.

the
computation
of
individual
burdens
for
the
recordkeeping
and
reporting
requirements
applicable
to
the
industry
for
each
of
the
subparts
included
in
this
ICR.
The
individual
burdens
are
expressed
under
standardized
headings
believed
to
be
consistent
with
the
concept
of
burden
under
the
Paperwork
Reduction
Act.
The
specific
requirements
and
major
assumptions
have
been
identified,
where
appropriate,
in
the
burden
calculation.
Responses
to
this
information
collection
are
mandatory.

The
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.

Estimating
Respondent
Burden
The
average
annual
burden
to
industry
over
the
next
three
years
from
these
recordkeeping
and
reporting
requirements
is
estimated
to
be
4,914.
This
number
represents
the
addition
of
the
total
burden
hours
from
each
of
the
NSPS
standards
included
in
this
ICR
(
refer
to
Table
1
Index,
below).
These
hours
are
based
on
Agency
studies
and
background
documents
from
the
development
of
the
regulation,
Agency
knowledge
and
experience
with
the
NSPS
program,
the
previously
approved
ICR,
and
any
comments
received.

Costs
The
types
of
industry
costs
associated
with
the
information
collection
activities
in
the
subject
standard(
s)
are
both
labor
costs,
which
are
addressed
elsewhere
in
this
ICR,
and
the
costs
associated
with
continuous
monitoring.
The
capital/
startup
costs
are
one­
time
costs
when
a
facility
becomes
subject
to
the
regulation.
The
annual
operation
and
maintenance
costs
are
the
ongoing
costs
to

Estimating
Agency
Burden
and
Cost
The
only
costs
to
the
Agency
are
those
costs
associated
with
analysis
of
the
reported
information.
EPA's
overall
compliance
and
enforcement
program
includes
activities
such
as
the
examination
of
records
maintained
by
the
respondents,
periodic
inspection
of
sources
of
emissions,
and
the
publication
and
distribution
of
collected
information.

The
average
annual
Agency
cost
during
the
three
years
of
the
ICR
is
estimated
to
be
$
9,212.
This
cost
is
based
on
the
following
hourly
labor
rates
times
an
1.6
benefits
multiplication
factor
to
account
for
government
overhead

Burden
and
Costs
18
Based
on
all
the
information
gathered
for
this
ICR,
we
have
estimated
that
there
is
a
total
of
18
existing
sources
currently
subject
to
the
NSPS
standards.
We
have
further
assumed
that
no
new
sources
per
year
will
become
subject
to
the
NSPS
standards
in
this
ICR
over
the
next
three
years
due
to
a
decrease
in
the
domestic
nonferrous
metals
production
resulting
in
many
plants
closing
its
operations
and
new
plants
being
built.

Number
of
respondents
is
calculated
using

f)
Reasons
for
Change
in
Burden
The
change
in
burden
from
the
most
recently
approved
ICR
is
due
to
an
adjustment.
Specifically,
the
decrease
in
burden
from
the
active
ICR
is
due
primarily
to
a
decrease
of
the
estimated
total
number
of
sources
subject
to
several
of
the
NSPS
standards
addressed
by
this
21
ICR,
as
discussed
below.
This
ICR
includes
the
following
requirements
that
were
omitted
in
the
active
ICR:
1)
semiannual
reports
required
by
the
General
Provisions
of
part
60
for
sources
using
continuous
monitoring
systems
which
are
required
by
NSPS
subparts
P,
Q,
R,
and
Z;
2)
monthly
performance
tests
required
by
NSPS
subpart
S,
except
for
two
facilities
specifically
cited
in
the
rule
that
had
approval
for
an
annual
performance
test;
3)
monitoring
of
operations
and
emissions;
and
4)
notification
of
product
change
required
by
NSPS
subpart
Z.
Although
these
additions
increased
the
burden,
the
increase
was
more
than
offset
by
the
decrease
in
the
estimated
number
of
sources
resulting
in
a
net
decrease
in
the
industry
burden.

The
total
number
of
sources
for
this
ICR
renewal
has
decreased
by
9
when
compared
to
the
active
ICR
(
i.
e.,
18
versus
27
in
the
active
ICR).
The
decrease
in
the
total
number
of
sources
is
the
result
of
many
nonferrous
metals'
facilities
closing
down
permanently
due
to
less
demand
for
domestic
nonferrous
metals.
As
discussed
in
Section
3(
c)
above,
extensive
research
was
conducted,
from
both
resources
within
and
outside
the
Agency,
to
confirm
the
estimates
on
the
number
of
sources
subject
to
each
of
the
NSPS
standards.
The
estimated
number
of
existing
sources
was
unchanged
for
brass
and
bronze
facilities
(
five
sources),
primary
pryrometallurgical
lead
smelters
(
one
source),
zinc
smelters
(
one
source)
and
ferroalloy
production
plants
(
one
source).
However,
the
number
of
estimated
sources
decreased,
when
compared
to
the
active
ICR,
for
pyrometallic
copper
smelters
P
from
13
to
6
and
for
primary
aluminum
reduction
plants
from
6
to
4.

Burden
Statement
The
annual
public
reporting
and
recordkeeping
burden
for
this
collection
of
information
is
estimated
to
average
169
hours
per
response.
Burden
means
the
total
time,
effort,
or
financial
resources
expended
by
persons
to
generate,
maintain,
retain,
or
disclose
or
provide
information
to
or
for
a
Federal
agency.
This
includes
the
time
needed
to
review
instructions;
develop,
acquire,
install,
and
utilize
technology
and
systems
for
the
purposes
of
collecting,
validating,
and
verifying
information,
processing
and
maintaining
information,
and
disclosing
and
providing
information;
adjust
the
existing
ways
to
comply
with
any
previously
applicable
instructions
and
requirements;
train
personnel
to
be
able
to
respond
to
a
collection
of
information;
search
data
sources;
complete
and
review
the
collection
of
information;
and
transmit
or
otherwise
disclose
the
information.

An

Assumptions:

a
We
have
assumed
that
are
approximately
5
out
of
11
secondary
brass
and
bronze
ingots
production
plants
subject
to
NSPS
subpart
M.
We
have
further
assumed
that
no
new
sources
will
become
subject
to
the
rule
over
the
three
year
period
of
this
ICR.

b
This
ICR
uses
the
following
labor
rates:
$
93.09
per
hour
for
Executive,
Administrative,
and
Managerial
labor;
$
64.13
per
hour
for
Technical
labor,
and
$
39.65
per
hour
for
Clerical
labor.
These
rates
are
from
the
United
States
Department
of
Labor,
Bureau
of
Labor
Statistics,
June
2003,
"
Table
10.
Private
industry,
by
occupational
and
industry
group."
The
rates
are
from
column
1,
"
Total
compensation."
The
rates
have
been
increased
by
110%
to
account
for
the
benefit
packages
available
to
those
employed
by
private
industry.

c
We
have
assumed
that
all
existing
sources
are
in
compliance
with
the
initial
rule
requirements.

d
We
have
assumed
that
20
percent
of
initial
performance
tests
must
be
repeated
due
to
failure.

e
Sources
are
require
to
use
the
following
Reference
Methods
(
RM)
in
conducting
performance
tests,
if
applicable:
1)
RM
5
for
particulate
matter
concentrations
and
volumetric
flow
rate
of
the
effluent
gas
(
all
subparts);
2)
RM
9
for
visible
emissions
observations
of
opacity.

f
Section
60.11
of
the
General
Provisions
allows
sources
to
use
a
continuous
opacity
monitor
(
COM)
in
lieu
of
Method
9
to
determine
compliance
with
the
opacity
standard.
However,
we
have
assumed
that
all
sources
are
complying
with
the
standard
using
RM
9.
26
g
Only
existing
sources
using
a
continuous
monitoring
system
(
i.
e.,
a
COM
or
a
continuous
parameter
monitoring
system)
are
required
to
submit
semiannual
reports.
Therefore,
sources
subject
to
NSPS
subpart
M
are
not
require
to
submit
semiannual
reports.

h
Sources
are
require
to
maintain
records
of
startups,
shutdowns
and
malfunctions
including
periods
where
the
continuous
monitoring
system
is
inoperative,
and
of
emission
test
results,
continuous
monitoring
system
data
including,
performance
test
results
and
other
data
needed
to
determine
compliance
with
mass
and
visible
emission
limits.

that
six

We

further
assumed
that
no
additional

This
ICR
uses
the

labor;
$
64.13
per

These

The

The

have
been
increased
by
110%

c
We

Assumptions:

a
It
is
estimated
that
there
are
23
primary
aluminum
plants
are
currently
operating
nationwide
with
91
potlines
that
produce
aluminum,
each
plant
having
a
paste
production
plant,
and
only
17
of
these
plants
having
anode
bake
furnaces.
However,
only
a
total
of
5
potlines
at
4
plants
are
estimated
to
be
subject
to
the
NSPS
standards.
However,
the
Agency
has
promulgated
new
standards
for
the
primary
aluminum
sector,
MACT
("
Maximum
Achievable
Control
Technology")

subpart
LL.
This
rule
allows
sources
to
comply
with
the
requirements
for
potroom
groups
and
anode
bake
furnaces
as
an
alternative
to
the
NSPS
requirements.

In
addition,
the
MACT
rule
requirements
for
anode
bake
plants
are
more
stringent
and
superseded
the
NSPS
requirements
for
such
affected
facility.
Therefore,

the
burden
for
complying
with
the
NSPS
standard
is
associated
with
sources
complying
with
the
requirements
for
potroom
groups
only.
We
have
further
assumed
that
no
additional
sources
per
year
will
become
subject
to
the
NSPS
standard
in
the
next
three
years.

This
ICR
uses
the
following
labor
rates:
$
93.09
per
hour
for
Executive,
Administrative,
and
Managerial
labor;
$
64.13
per
hour
for
Technical
labor,
and
$
39.65
per
hour
for
Clerical
labor.
These
rates
are
from
the
United
States
Department
of
Labor,
Bureau
of
Labor
Statistics,
June
2003,
"
Table
10.
Private
industry,
by
occupational
and
industry
group."
The
rates
are
from
column
1,
"
Total
compensation."
The
rates
have
been
increased
by
110%
to
account
for
the
benefit
packages
available
to
those
employed
by
private
industry.

c
We
have
assumed
that
all
existing
sources
are
in
compliance
with
the
initial
rule
requirements.

d
The
rule
requires
sources
to
conduct
a
monthly
performance
test
after
the
initial
test
and
requires
them
to
provide
a
15
days
advance
notice
of
each
test,
except
for
the
two
sources
specified
in
the
rule
that
were
allowed
to
conduct
an
annual
performance
test.
We
have
further
assumed
that
only
10
percent
of
the
performance
tests
will
have
to
be
repeated.

e
Sources
are
require
to
use
the
following
Reference
Methods
(
RM)
in
conducting
performance
tests,
if
applicable:
1)
RM
5
for
particulate
matter
concentrations
and
volumetric
flow
rate
of
the
effluent
gas;
and
2)
RM
9
for
visible
emissions
observations
of
opacity.

f
Section
60.11
of
the
General
Provisions
allows
sources
to
use
a
continuous
opacity
monitor
(
COM)
in
lieu
of
Method
9
to
determine
compliance
with
the
opacity
standard.
However,
we
have
assumed
that
all
sources
are
complying
with
the
standard
using
RM
9.

g
Only
existing
sources
using
a
continuous
monitoring
system
(
i.
e.,
a
COM
or
a
continuous
parameter
monitoring
system)
are
required
to
submit
semiannual
reports.
Therefore,
sources
subject
to
NSPS
subpart
S
are
require
to
submit
semiannual
reports.

h
Sources
are
require
to
maintain
records
of
their
operations
including
records
of
startups,
shutdowns
and
malfunctions,
periods
where
the
continuous
monitoring
system
is
inoperative,
emission
test
results,
performance
test
results
and
other
operational
data
needed
to
determine
compliance
with

Assumptions:

a
We
have
assumed
that
are
approximately
six
primary
copper
smelters
(
subpart
P),
one
primary
zinc
smelter
(
subpart
Q),
and
one
primary
lead
smelter
(
subpart
R)
subject
to
the
NSPS
standard
for
a
total
of
eight
respondents.
We
have
further
assumed
that
there
will
be
no
new
sources
in
the
next
three
years.

c
Assumes
that

d
The
rule
requires

the
rule

monitoring
system
(
i.
e.,
a
COM
