    Title: NSPS for Secondary Lead Smelters (Renewal).
    ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 1128.08, OMB Control Number 2060-0080.
    ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on November 30, 2006. 
Under OMB regulations, the Agency may continue to conduct or sponsor 
the collection of information while this submission is pending at OMB. 
An Agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required to 
respond to, a collection of information unless it displays a currently 
valid OMB control number. The OMB control numbers for EPA's regulations 
in title 40 of the CFR, after appearing in the Federal Register when 
approved, are listed in 40 CFR part 9, and displayed either by 
publication in the Federal Register or by other appropriate means, such 
as on the related collection instrument or form, if applicable. The 
display of OMB control numbers in certain EPA regulations is 
consolidated in 40 CFR part 9.
    Abstract: This Information Collection Request (ICR) renewal is 
being submitted for the NSPS for Secondary Lead Smelters (40 CFR part 
60, subpart L), which was promulgated on March 8, 1974. This standard 
applies to owners and operators of secondary lead smelters facilities. 
Owners and operators of secondary lead smelters subject to NSPS must 
notify EPA of construction, reconstruction, anticipated and actual 
startup dates, and results of performance tests. Records of performance 
test results, shutdowns, and malfunctions must be maintained. These 
notifications, reports, and records are essential in determining 
compliance; and are required, in general, of all sources subject to 
NSPS.
    Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping 
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 1.5 
hours per response. Burden means the total time, effort, or financial 
resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or 
disclose or provide information to or for a Federal agency. This 
includes the time needed to review instructions; develop, acquire, 
install, and utilize technology and systems for the purposes of 
collecting, validating, and verifying information, processing and 
maintaining information, and disclosing and providing information; 
adjust the existing ways to comply with any previously applicable 
instructions and requirements which have subsequently changed; train 
personnel to be able to respond to a collection of information; search 
data sources; complete and review the collection of information; and 
transmit or otherwise disclose the information.
    Respondents/Affected Entities: Secondary lead smelters.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 25.
    Frequency of Response: Initially and on occasion.
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 38.
    Estimated Total Annual Cost: $0 in annualized capital or O&M costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is no change in the total estimated 
burden currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR 
Burdens.
