This standard applies to owners and operators of secondary lead smelter industry facilities. The provisions of this subpart apply to secondary lead smelters that use blast, reverberatory, rotary, or electric smelting furnaces to recover lead metal from scrap lead, primarily from used lead-acid automotive-type batteries. Consistent with the NESHAP General Provisions (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart A), owners and operators must comply with recordkeeping, monitoring and reporting requirements including control device parameter monitoring, conduct performance tests and submittal of initial and periodic reports such as semiannual compliance reports and an operation, maintenance and monitoring plan. The required semiannual reports are used to determine periods of excess emissions, identify problems at the facility, verify operation/maintenance procedures, and for compliance determinations.
In this ICR renewal, we have made adjustments to reflect current rule requirements and removed duplicate items contained in previous ICRs. In addition, this ICR renewal reflects a decrease in the number of respondents from 16 to 14 due to facility closures.
