    ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 2240.03, OMB Control Number 2060-0596.
    ICR Status: This ICR is schedule to expire on January 31, 2010.

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: NESHAP for Area Sources: Polyvinyl Chloride and Copolymer 
Production, Primary Copper Smelting, Secondary Copper Smelting, and 
Primary Nonferrous Metals--Zinc, Cadmium, and Beryllium (Renewal), were 
proposed on October 16, 2006, and promulgated on January 23, 2007. 
These regulations apply to any new and existing primary copper smelter, 
a new secondary copper smelter, a new or existing primary zinc 
production facility or a primary beryllium production facility that is 
an area source of hazardous air pollutant (HAP) emissions. An affected 
source is existing, if they commenced construction or reconstruction 
before October 6, 2006, and a new source if they commenced construction 
or reconstruction on or after October 6, 2006.
    Owners and operators of a new and existing area source is subject 
to the General Provision (40 CFR part 63, subpart A). An existing 
affected source is required to submit an initial notification of 
applicability and a notification of compliance status. They are also 
required to certify initial compliance with particulate matter (PM) 
limits based on previous performance test results. These notifications, 
reports, and records are essential in determining compliance, and are 
required of all affected facilities subject to NESHAP.
    Any owner or operator subject to the provisions of this subpart 
must maintain a file of these measurements, and retain the file for at 
least five years following the collection of such measurements, 
maintenance reports, and records.
    All reports are sent to the delegated State or local authority. In 
the event that there is no such delegated authority, the reports are 
sent directly to the EPA regional office. This information is being 
collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR part 63, subpart EEEEEE; 40 
CFR part 63, subpart FFFFFF; 40 CFR part 63, subpart DDDDDD; 40 CFR 
part 63, subpart GGGGGG; 40 CFR part 61, subpart F; 40 CFR part 61, 
subpart C; as authorized in sections 112 and 114(a) of the Clean Air 
Act. The required information consists of emissions data and other 
information that has been determined to be private.
    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 Number for EPA 
regulations listed in 40 CFR part 9 and 48 CFR chapter 15, are 
identified on the form and/or instrument, if applicable.
    Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping 
burden for this collection of information estimated to average 12 hour 
per response. Burden means the total time, effort, or financial 
resources expended by persons to generate, maintain, retain, or 
disclose and 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. All 
existing ways will have to adjust to comply with any previously 
applicable instructions and requirements that 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: Polyvinyl Chloride and Copolymer 
Production, Primary Copper Smelting, Secondary Copper Smelting, and 
Primary Nonferrous Metals--Zinc, Cadmium, and Beryllium.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 5.
    Frequency of Response: Initially.
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 46.
    Estimated Total Annual Cost: $4,326, which includes $4,326 in labor 
costs, no capital/startup costs, and no operation and maintenance (O&M) 
costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: In this ICR, we have accounted for all 
five sources as compared to the previous ICR. There are no new sources 
and are not anticipated to change over the next three year; the growth 
rate for the industry is very low, negative or nonexistent, thus, there 
is no significant change in the overall number of sources. A change in 
the cost burden was due to an increase in the hourly labor rates.
