    Title: NESHAP for Primary Magnesium Refining (Renewal).
    ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 2098.06, OMB Control Number 2060-0536.
    ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on June 30, 2013. Under 
OMB regulations, the Agency may continue to either conduct or sponsor 
the collection of information while this submission is pending at OMB.
    Abstract: The affected entities are subject to the General 
Provisions of the NESHAP at 40 CFR part 63, subpart A, and any changes, 
or additions to the Provisions specified at 40 CFR part 63, subpart 
TTTTT. Owners or operators of the affected facilities must submit an 
initial notification report, performance tests, and periodic reports 
and results. 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. Reports are required, semiannually, 
at a minimum.
    Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping 
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 153 
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: Owners or operators of primary 
magnesium refining facilities.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 1.
    Frequency of Response: Occasionally and semiannually.
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 611.
    Estimated Total Annual Cost: $60,410, which includes $59,210 in 
labor costs, no capital/startup costs, and $1,200 in operation and 
maintenance (O&M) costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is no change in the labor hours in 
this ICR compared to the previous ICR. This is due to two 
consideration: (1) the regulations have not changed over the past three 
years and are not anticipated to change over the next three years; and 
(2) the growth rate for the industry is very low, negative or non-
existent, so there is no significant change in the overall burden. 
However, there is an adjustment increase in the total estimated burden 
costs. The change in the cost estimates occurred because the labor 
rates have increased since the last ICR. This ICR uses the most recent 
labor rates in calculating all burden costs.
