The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Integrated Iron and Steel Manufacturing Facilities (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart FFFFF) apply to new and existing sinter plants, blast furnaces, and basic oxygen process furnace shops at integrated iron and steel manufacturing facilities that are major sources of hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) or are co-located at major sources. New facilities include those that commenced either construction or reconstruction after the date of proposal. In general, all NESHAP standards require initial notifications, performance tests, and periodic reports by the owners/operators of the affected facilities. They 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 in determining compliance, and are required of all affected facilities subject to NESHAP. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart FFFFF.
There is an increase in the total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently approved by OMB. The increase in burden is not due to any program changes, but is due to an adjustment. The adjustment increase in burden from the most- recently approved ICR is due to an increase in the number of new or modified sources due to continued industry growth. In addition, the burden estimate for reading and understanding the rule requirements was adjusted to reflect the time it would take existing respondents to review the rule each year. The overall result is an increase in burden and costs.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that the collection of information encompassed by this request complies with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR 1320.8(b)(3).
