In compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.), this document announces that EPA is planning to submit the following sixteen existing, approved, continuing Information Collection Requests (ICR) to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for the purpose of renewing the ICRs. Before Start Printed Page 55369submitting the ICRs to OMB for review and approval, EPA is soliciting comments on specific aspects of the information collections as described under SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION.
EPA has established official public dockets for the ICRs listed under SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION, section II.B. The official public docket for each ICR consists of the documents specifically referenced in the ICR, any public comments received, and other information related to each ICR. The official public docket for each ICR is the collection of materials that is available for public viewing at the Enforcement and Compliance Docket and Information Center in the EPA Docket Center (EPA/DC), EPA West, Room B102, 1301 Constitution Avenue, NW., Washington, DC. The EPA Docket Center Public Reading Room is open from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, excluding legal holidays. The telephone number for the Reading Room is (202) 566-1744, and the telephone number for the Enforcement and Compliance Docket and Information Center Docket is (202) 566-1514. An electronic version of the public docket for each ICR is available through EPA Dockets (EDOCKET) at: http://www.epa.gov/​edocket. Use EDOCKET to obtain a copy of the draft collection of information, to submit or to view public comments, to access the index listing of the contents of the public docket, and to access those documents in the public docket that are available electronically.

(8) NESHAP for Integrated Iron and Steel Manufacturing (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart FFFFF); EPA ICR Number 2003.03; OMB Control Number 2060-0517; expiration date June 30, 2006.
Affected Entities: Integrated iron and steel manufacturing facilities.
Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Integrated Iron and Steel Manufacturing Steel Pickling, 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart FFFFF, were proposed on July 13, 2001 (66 FR 36835), and promulgated on May 20, 2003 (68 FR 27645). This rulemaking establishes emission limits for particulate matter and/or opacity limits, which act as surrogates for individual metallic hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) limitations for six discharge points. Operating limits are also required for certain capture systems and control devices. The rule also includes an operating limit for the oil content of the sinter plant feedstock to reduce organic HAP. As an alternative, a facility may choose to monitor emissions of volatile organic compounds instead of oil content.
The monitoring, recordkeeping, and reporting requirements outlined in the rule are similar to those required for other NESHAP regulations. Plants are required to conduct a performance test to demonstrate initial compliance with each emission and opacity limit and establish operating limits for capture systems and control devices. A performance test is also required to demonstrate compliance with the operating limit on the oil content of sinter plant feedstock or for volatile organic compounds.
Consistent with the NESHAP General Provisions (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart A), respondents submit one-time notifications of applicability, a performance test result for the primary emission control device, and semiannual reports including periods of monitoring exceedances. Plants also must develop and implement a Startup, Shutdown, and Malfunction Plan (SSMP). An immediate report is required if actions taken in response to the SSMP were not consistent with the written SSMP. These notifications, reports, and records are essential in determining compliance, and are required of all sources subject to NESHAP.
Burden Statement: In the active approved ICR, the estimated number of respondents for this information collection 6 with 24 responses per year. The annual industry reporting and recordkeeping burden for this collection of information was 199 hours. The average annual respondent reports four times per year and spends 8 hours preparing each response.
The total annualized cost for continuous emissions monitoring was $64,300, which was comprised of capital/startup costs of $42,000 and operation and maintenance (O&M) costs of $22,300 per year.
(9) Federal Emission Guidelines for Large Municipal Waste Combustors Constructed on or Before September 20, 1994 (40 CFR 62, Subpart FFF), EPA ICR Number 1847.04, OMB Control Number 2060-0181, expiration date June 30, 2006.
Affected Entities: Municipal waste combustion (MWC) units.
Abstract: Federal Emission Guidelines for Large Municipal Waste Combustors Constructed on or Before September 20, 1994 (40 CFR 62, Subpart FFF) were promulgated on November 12, 1998. The guidelines apply to MWC units with a combustion capacity greater than 250 tons per day of municipal solid waste (large MWC units) if construction of the unit commenced on or before September 20, 1994, and the unit is not covered by an Agency approved State or Tribal Plan.
The affected entities are subject to the General Provisions of the New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) at 40 CFR part 60, subpart A and any changes, or additions to the General Provisions specified at 40 CFR part 62, subpart FFF. Subpart FFF implements and enforces the emission guidelines (40 CFR part 60, subpart Cb) for large MWCs that were promulgated under the authority of Clean Air Act Sections 111 and 129. Under CAA Section 129(b)(2), States were required to submit plans to the Administrator for approval by December 19, 1996, that implement and enforce the 40 CFR part 60, subpart Cb. Section 129(b)(3) requires the Administrator to promulgate a Federal Plan to implement and enforce the guidelines in those States that have not submitted an approvable plan to Administrator by December 19, 1997.
Subpart FFF requires 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 to determine compliance, and are required of all sources subject to the NSPS. Subpart FFF contains the same testing, monitoring, recordkeeping and reporting requirements as Subpart Eb and subpart Cb. This occurs because Section 60.39b of subpart Cb requires that for a State Plan or Tribal Plan to be approved, it must contain the recordkeeping and reporting requirements of Subpart Eb. Because the Federal Plan is applicable in lieu of State or Tribal Plans for MWCs in areas that do not have approved State or Tribal Plans, the Federal Plan also contains the same recordkeeping and reporting as subparts Eb and Cb.
