Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air
Pollutants (NESHAP) for Aluminum, Copper and Other Non-ferrous Metals
Foundries apply to both existing and new facilities conducting melting
operations located at an aluminum, copper, or other non-ferrous foundry
that is an area source of hazardous air pollutants (HAP) emissions,
melts 600 tons per year (tpy) of aluminum, copper, or other non-ferrous
metal or greater, and uses material that contains or has the potential
to emit HAP for which the source category was listed. New facilities
include those that commenced construction, modification 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 ZZZZZZ.
Form Numbers: None.
Respondents/affected entities: Aluminum, copper, and other non-
ferrous foundries.
Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 63,
subpart ZZZZZZ).
Estimated number of respondents: 318 (total).
Frequency of response: Initially, occasionally and semiannually.
Total estimated burden: 11,900 hours (per year). Burden is defined
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
Total estimated cost: $1,410,000 (per year), includes $0 annualized
capital 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 is due to two considerations. First, the
regulations have not changed over the past three years and are not
anticipated to change over the next three years. Second, 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.
