    Abstract: Owners and operators of a primary copper smelter are 
subject to the regulation only if it is a major source of hazardous air 
pollutant (HAP) emitting or has the potential to emit any single HAP at 
the rate of 10 tons or more per year or any combination of HAP at a 
rate of 25 tons or more per year. New facilities include those that 
commenced construction or reconstruction after the date of proposal. 
This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR 
part 63, subpart QQQ. These notifications, reports, and records are 
essential in determining compliance, and are required of all affected 
facilities subject to NESHAP.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Owners and operators of primary 
copper smelter.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 63, 
Subpart QQQ).
    Estimated number of respondents: 3 (total).
    Frequency of response: Initially, occasionally, quarterly, and 
semiannually.
    Total estimated burden: 9,380 hours (per year). Burden is defined 
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $926,544 (per year), includes $8,220 
annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is an increase of 543 hours in the 
total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently 
approved by OMB. This change in hours is due to the removal of burden 
for submitting initial notifications, which is not required for 
existing sources and the addition of managerial and clerical staff that 
are now involved in recordkeeping activities.

Acting Director, Collection Strategies Division.
