Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air
Pollutants (NESHAP) for Secondary Aluminum Production (40 CFR part 63,
subpart RRR) were promulgated on March 23, 2000; and amended on the
following dates: December 30, 2002 (67 FR 79808); September 3, 2004 (69
FR 53980); October 3, 2005 (70 FR 57513); December 19, 2005 (70 FR
75320); September 18, 2015 (80 FR 56700); and June 13, 2016 (81 FR
38085). These regulations apply to existing facilities and new
facilities that are secondary aluminum production facilities and major
sources of hazardous air pollutants (HAP) either commencing
construction, or reconstruction, after the date of proposal. This
includes facilities that operate aluminum scrap shredders, thermal chip
dryers, scrap dryers/delacquering kilns/decoating kilns, group 1
furnaces, group 2 furnaces, sweat furnaces, dross only furnaces, rotary
dross coolers, and secondary aluminum processing units (SAPUs). The
SAPUs include group 1 furnaces and in-line fluxers. The regulations
also apply to secondary aluminum production facilities that are area
sources of HAP only with respect to emissions of dioxins/furans (D/F)
from thermal chip dryers, scrap dryers/delacquering kilns/decoating
kilns, group 1 furnaces, sweat furnaces, and SAPUs. 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 RRR.
Form Numbers: None.
Respondents/affected entities: Secondary aluminum production
facilities.
Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 63,
subpart RRR).
Estimated number of respondents: 164 (total).
Frequency of response: Initially and semiannually.
Total estimated burden: 13,000 hours (per year). Burden is defined
at 5 CFR 1320.03(b).
Total estimated cost: $5,160,000 (per year), which includes
$4,650,000 annualized capital 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 is due to
an increase in the number of new sources expected over the next three
years based on feedback received during consultation. There is an
increase in the capital/O&M costs due to the increased number of new
sources described above.
