Title: NESHAP for Miscellaneous Metal Parts and Products (Renewal).
ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 2056.04, OMB Control Number 2060-0486.
ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on July 31, 2012. Under
OMB regulations, the Agency may continue to conduct or sponsor the
collection of information while this submission is pending at OMB.
Abstract: The affected entities are subject to the General
Provisions of the NESHAP at 40 CFR part 63, subpart A, and any changes,
or additions to the Provisions specified at 40 CFR part 63, subpart
MMMM.
Owners or operators of the affected facilities must submit initial
notification, performance tests, and periodic reports and results.
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. Reports, at a minimum, are required
semiannually.
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. This information is being
collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 63, subpart MMMM, as
authorized in section 112 and 114(a) of the Clean Air Act. The required
information consists of emissions data and other information that have
been determined to be private.
An 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. The OMB Control Numbers for the EPA
regulations are listed in 40 CFR part 9 and 48 CFR chapter 15, and are
identified on the form and/or instrument, if applicable.
Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 226
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 which have subsequently changed; train
personnel to be able to respond to a collection of information; search
data sources; complete and review the collection of information; and
either transmit or otherwise disclose the information.
Respondents/Affected Entities: Owners or operators of miscellaneous
metal parts and products.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 4,992.
Frequency of Response: Initially, occasionally, and semiannually.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 2,254,948.
Estimated Total Annual Cost: $217,117,118, which includes
$216,067,118 in labor costs, no capital/startup costs, and $1,050,000
in operation and maintenance (O&M) costs.
Changes in the Estimates: There is an adjustment decrease in the
labor hours for the respondent as compared to the
[[Page 30279]]
most recently approved ICR. This decrease is not due to any program
changes. The decrease reflects a correction in the ``person-hours per
occurrence'' estimate for magnet wire facilities in Table 1 based on
comments received from industry consultation. The per-person burden
hour estimate for line items ``5.1 Gather information and monitor'' and
``6.1 Process/compile and review'' in the previous ICR were incorrectly
based on burden estimates for the entire industry sector rather than a
single magnet wire facility, and therefore were inflated by a factor of
ten.
There is an increase in the total O&M costs in this ICR as compared
to the previous ICR. This change reflects an update in the respondent
universe for the magnet wire industry. Based on comments received from
consultation, EPA updated the number of magnet wire facilities from 10
to 11 in order to reflect more accurately the potential respondent
universe.
In addition, there is an increase in burden costs to both the
respondent and the Agency due to an adjustment in labor rates. This ICR
uses the most recent labor rates from the U.S. Bureau of Labor
Statistics in calculating the labor costs.
