Abstract: Owners and operators of secondary lead smelter facilities
are required to comply with reporting and record keeping requirements
for the General Provisions (40 CFR part 63, subpart A), as well as for
the applicable specific standards in 40 CFR part 63 subpart X. This
includes submitting initial notifications, performance tests and
periodic reports and results, and maintaining 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 reports are used by EPA to determine
compliance with these standards.
Form Numbers: None.
Respondents/affected entities: Secondary lead smelter facilities.
Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 63,
subpart X).
Estimated number of respondents: 12 (total).
Frequency of response: Semiannually.
Total estimated burden: 21,700 hours (per year). Burden is defined
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
Total estimated cost: $2,580,000 (per year), which includes
$251,000 annualized capital/startup and/or operation & maintenance
costs.
Changes in the Estimates: There is no change in burden from the
most-recently approved ICR as currently identified in the OMB Inventory
of Approved Burdens. This situation is due to two considerations: (1)
The regulations have not changed over the past three years and are not
anticipated to change over the next three years. The most recent
amendments (85 FR 73854, November 20, 2020) included no change in
burden. And (2) the growth rate for this industry is very low or non-
existent, so there is no significant change in the overall burden.
Since there are no changes in the regulatory requirements and there is
no significant industry growth, there are also no changes in the
capital/startup or operation and maintenance (O&M) costs.

Director, Regulatory Support Division.
