The Environmental Protection Agency has submitted an information collection request (ICR), NSPS for Start Printed Page 64522Secondary Brass and Bronze Production, Primary Copper Smelters, Primary Zinc Smelters, Primary Lead Smelters, Primary Aluminum Reduction Plants, and Ferroalloy Production Facilities (EPA ICR Number 1604.12, OMB Control Number 2060-0110), to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act. This is a proposed extension of the ICR, which is currently approved through January 31, 2020. Public comments were previously requested, via the Federal Register, on May 6, 2019 during a 60-day comment period. This notice allows for an additional 30 days for public comments. A fuller description of the ICR is given below, including its estimated burden and cost to the public. An agency may neither conduct nor sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number.
Additional comments may be submitted on or before December 23, 2019.
Submit your comments, referencing Docket ID Number EPA-HQ-OECA-2013-0334, to: (1) EPA online using www.regulations.gov (our preferred method), or by email to docket.oeca@epa.gov, or by mail to: EPA Docket Center, Environmental Protection Agency, Mail Code 28221T, 1200 Pennsylvania Ave. NW, Washington, DC 20460; and (2) OMB via email to oira_submission@omb.eop.gov. Address comments to OMB Desk Officer for EPA.
Abstract: The NSPS for Secondary Brass and Bronze Production (40 CFR part 60, subpart M) apply to existing facilities and new facilities that commence construction or modification after June 11, 1973. 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. New facilities include those that commenced construction, modification or reconstruction after the date of proposal. The NSPS for Primary Copper Smelters (40 CFR part 60, subpart P) apply to existing facilities and new facilities that commence construction or modification after October 16, 1974. These standards apply to the following facilities in primary copper smelters: Dryer, roaster, smelting furnace, and copper converter. The NSPS for Primary Zinc Smelters (40 CFR part 60, subpart Q) apply to existing facilities and new facilities that commence construction or modification after October 16, 1974. These standards apply to the following facilities in primary zinc smelters: Roaster and sintering machines. The NSPS for Primary Lead Smelters (40 CFR part 60, subpart R) apply to existing facilities and new facilities that commence construction or modification after October 16, 1974. 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. The NSPS for Primary Aluminum Reduction Plants (40 CFR part 60, subpart S) apply to existing facilities and new facilities that commence construction or modification after October 23, 1974. The NSPS for Ferroalloy Production Facilities (40 CFR part 60, subpart Z) apply to existing facilities and new facilities that commence construction or modification after October 21, 1974. 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.
Respondents/affected entities: Secondary Brass/Bronze Production (40 CFR part 60, subpart M), Primary Copper Smelters (40 CFR part 60, subpart P), Primary Zinc Smelters (40 CFR part 60, subpart Q), Primary Lead Smelters (40 CFR part 60, subpart R), Primary Aluminum Reduction Plants (40 CFR part 60, subpart S), and Ferroalloy Production Facilities (40 CFR part 60, subpart Z).
Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory, 40 CFR part 60.
Total estimated cost: $576,000 (per year), which includes $127,000 in annualized capital and/or operation & maintenance costs.
Changes in the Estimates: There is no change in the labor hours in this ICR compared to the previous ICR. 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. Secondly, the growth rate for the industry is very low, negative or non-existent, so there is no significant change in the overall burden. There is an adjustment increase in the labor burden in this ICR compared to the previous ICR due to the increase in labor costs over the past three years.
