Abstract
The Environmental Protection Agency has submitted an information collection request (ICR), NESHAP for Primary Magnesium Refining (EPA ICR Number 2098.10, OMB Control Number 2060-0536), to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review and approval in accordance with the Paperwork Reduction Act. This is a proposed extension of the ICR, which is currently approved through June 30, 2022. Public comments were previously requested, via the Federal Register, on April 13, 2021 during a 60-day comment period. This notice allows for an additional 30 days for public comments. A fuller description of the ICR is given below, including its estimated burden and cost to the public. An agency may neither conduct nor sponsor, and a person is not required to respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number.

Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air
Pollutants (NESHAP) for Primary Magnesium Refining (40 CFR part 63,
subpart TTTTT) were proposed on January 22, 2003; promulgated on
October 10, 2003; and amended on April 20, 2006. These regulations
apply to existing and new facilities that perform primary magnesium
refining where the total hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) emitted are
greater than, or equal to, 10 tons per year for each HAP, or where the
total HAPs emitted are greater than, or equal to, 25 tons per year of
any combination of HAPs. 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 TTTTT. 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
[[Page 36123]]
compliance, and are required of all affected facilities subject to the
NESHAP.
Form Numbers: None.
Respondents/affected entities: Primary magnesium refining
facilities.
Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory 40 CFR 63, Subpart
TTTTT.
Estimated number of respondents: One (total).
Frequency of response: Semiannually.
Total estimated burden: 972 hours (per year). Burden is defined at
5 CFR 1320.3(b).
Total estimated cost: $116,000 (per year), which includes $1,200 in
annualized capital/startup and/or operation & maintenance costs.
Changes in the Estimates: There is an adjustment increase in the
total estimated burden as currently identified in the OMB Inventory of
Approved Burdens. This increase is not due to any program changes. The
burden in this ICR has been adjusted to account for more accurate
estimates for performance testing costs based on consultations with
industry. The previous ICR assumed that a single performance test was
conducted once every three years by the affected facility. This ICR
adjusts the performance testing costs to reflect that the facility
conducts separate performance tests for individual units during the
term of the ICR. The regulation, 40 CFR 63.9912, requires performance
testing no less frequently than twice (at mid-term and renewal) of each
term of the Title V permit, or every 2.5 years, for each emission
point. For the facility subject to this rule, we have clarified that
multiple emission points must be tested twice during the Title V permit
term, with approximately 20 percent of units anticipated to require a
retest. This ICR therefore assumes that performance tests are conducted
for approximately two emission units in each year during the three-year
period of this ICR. Therefore, labor costs have been adjusted to
account for submission of notification and reports for performance
tests twice annually. This change also results in an increase in the
number of responses.
