Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air
Pollutants (NESHAP) for Coke Oven Pushing, Quenching, and Battery
Stacks (40 CFR part 63, subpart CCCCC) were proposed on July 3, 2001
(66 FR 35325); promulgated on April 14, 2003 (68 FR 18007); and most-
recently amended on August 2, 2005 (70 FR 44285). These regulations
apply to pushing, soaking, quenching, and battery stacks on both
existing and new coke oven batteries (coke plants) that are major
sources of hazardous air pollutant (HAP) emissions. New facilities
include those that commenced either construction or reconstruction
after the date of proposal. This information is being collected to
assure compliance with 40 CFR part 63, subpart CCCCC.
Form Numbers: None.
Respondents/affected entities: Coke manufacturing facilities.
[[Page 11423]]
Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 63,
subpart CCCCC).
Estimated number of respondents: 14 (total).
Frequency of response: Quarterly and semiannually.
Total estimated burden: 23,900 hours (per year). Burden is defined
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
Total estimated cost: $2,950,000 (per year), which includes
$125,000 in annualized capital/startup and/or operation & maintenance
costs.
Changes in the Estimates: The decrease in burden from the most-
recently approved ICR is due to a decrease in the number of sources.
There is an adjustment decrease in labor hours from the most-recently
approved ICR. This decrease reflects revisions to the number of
existing respondents that are anticipated to reconstruct or close
batteries subject to this standard. This decrease is not due to any
program changes. 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 and/or operation and maintenance
(O&M) costs.

Director, Regulatory Support Division.
