Abstract
The Environmental Protection Agency has submitted an information collection request (ICR), NESHAP for Clay Ceramics Manufacturing, Glass Manufacturing, and Secondary Nonferrous Metals Processing Area Sources (EPA ICR Number 2274.07, OMB Control Number 2060-0606), 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 January 31, 2023. Public comments were previously requested, via the Federal Register on July 22, 2022 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 Clay Ceramics Manufacturing, Glass
Manufacturing, and Secondary Nonferrous Metals Processing Area Sources
(40 CFR part 63, subparts RRRRRR, SSSSSS, and TTTTTT) were proposed on
September 20, 2007; and promulgated on December 26, 2007. These
regulations apply to the following existing and new facilities: (1)
clay ceramics manufacturing facilities that process more than 50 tons
per year of wet clay and are area sources of hazardous air pollutants
(HAP); (2) glass manufacturing facilities that use continuous furnaces
to produce glass that contains HAP as raw materials and are area
sources of HAP; and (3) secondary nonferrous metals processing
facilities that are area sources of HAP. Clay ceramics manufacturing
facilities include facilities that manufacture pressed tile,
sanitaryware, dinnerware, or pottery with an atomized glaze spray booth
or kiln that fires glazed ceramic ware. Glass manufacturing facilities
include facilities that manufacture flat glass, glass containers, or
pressed and blown glass by melting a mixture of raw materials, to
produce molten glass and form the molten glass into sheets, containers,
or other shapes. Secondary nonferrous metals processing facilities
means brass and bronze ingot making, secondary magnesium processing, or
secondary zinc processing plants that use furnace melting operations to
melt post-consumer nonferrous metal scrap to make products including
bars, ingots, blocks, or metal powders. New facilities include those
that commenced either construction, or modification or reconstruction
after the date of proposal. This information is being collected to
assure compliance with 40 CFR part 63, subparts RRRRRR, SSSSSS, and
TTTTTT.
Form Numbers: None.
Respondents/affected entities: Area sources of clay ceramics
manufacturing, glass manufacturing, and secondary nonferrous metals
processing.
Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 63,
subparts RRRRRR, SSSSSS, and TTTTTT).
Estimated number of respondents: 87 (total).
Frequency of response: Initially.
Total estimated burden: 1,970 hours (per year). Burden is defined
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
Total estimated cost: $250,000 (per year), which includes $13,900
in annualized capital/startup and/or operation & maintenance costs.
Changes in the Estimates: The increase in burden from the most-
recently approved ICR is due to an adjustment. The adjustment increase
is due to an increase in the number of respondents, including one new
respondent expected during the three-year period of this ICR. There is
an increase in cost due to the increased number of respondents and due
to the use of updated labor rates. This ICR uses labor rates from the
most-recent Bureau of Labor Statistics report (September 2021) to
calculate respondent burden costs.
The new source is not expected to incur capital costs; therefore,
there is no change in the capital/startup costs from the most-recently
approved ICR. There is an increase in O&M costs due to the use of
updated labor rates associated with inspections of emission control
systems for glass manufacturing facilities. This ICR uses the technical
labor rate from the most-recent Bureau of Labor Statistics report
(September 2021) to calculate respondent burden costs associated with
inspection of emission control systems.
