Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air
Pollutants (NESHAP) for Ferroalloys Production Area Sources (40 CFR
part 63, subpart YYYYYY) apply to existing and new ferroalloy
production facilities that are an area source of hazardous air
pollutant (HAP) emissions. 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.
Form Numbers: None.
Respondents/affected entities: Owners and operators of area source
ferroalloys production facilities.
Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 63,
subpart YYYYYY).
Estimated number of respondents: 9 (total).
Frequency of response: Initially, annually, and semiannually.
Total estimated burden: 362 hours (per year). Burden is defined at
5 CFR 1320.3(b).
Total estimated cost: $42,500 (per year), which includes $0 in
annualized capital/startup and/or operation & maintenance costs.
Changes in the Estimates: There is a small decrease in burden from
the most recently approved ICR as currently identified in the OMB
Inventory of Approved Burdens. This decrease is not due to any program
changes. This ICR reflects a reduction in the number of respondents
based on a review of facilities listed in the 2008 final rule docket
that remain in operation. A review of these facilities revealed that
one of the existing ten companies has shut down, while remaining
facilities appear to continue to be in operation. The growth rate for
this industry is very low or non-existent, so no new companies are
expected to become subject to this NESHAP during the three-year period
of this ICR. There are no changes in the capital/startup or operation
and maintenance (O&M) costs.

Director, Regulatory Support Division.
