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 specified at 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart YYYYY. Owners or operators of the affected facilities must submit a one-time-only report of any physical or operational changes, initial 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 addressing (1) the number of mercury switches removed or the weight of mercury recovered from the switches and properly managed, the estimated number of vehicles processed, an estimate of the percent of mercury switches recovered, and a certification that the recovered mercury switches were recycled at RCRA-permitted facilities, and (2) the control of contaminants from scrap according to the requirements in Sec. 63.10(e) are required semiannually. Form Numbers: None. Respondents/affected entities: Owners or operators of electric arc furnace steelmaking facilities. Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart YYYYY). Estimated number of respondents: 87 (total). Frequency of response: Initially, semiannually and occasionally. Total estimated burden: 1,417 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 CFR 1320.3(b). Total estimated cost: $136,341 (per year), includes no annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs. Changes in the Estimates: There is a decrease in the respondent burden and an increase in Agency burden. These changes occurred due to the following adjustment: (1) This ICR revises the number of respondents from 91 to 87 based on input provided from industry trade association; and (2) This ICR corrects the frequency of semiannual report review from one to two in Table 2. This correction results in an increase in the estimated Agency burden. Spencer Clark, Acting Director, Collection Strategies Division.
