SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency has submitted an

Smelters (40 CFR part 63, subpart TTT) (Renewal)'' (EPA ICR No. 
1856.10, OMB Control No. 2060-0414) to the Office of Management and 
Budget (OMB) for review and approval in accordance with the Paperwork 
Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.). This is a proposed extension of

    Abstract: The NESHAP is applicable to primary lead processing 
facilities that are engaged in the production of lead metal from lead 
sulfide ore concentrate. The final amendment establishes new emission 
limits, revises testing, reporting, and recordkeeping requirements. 
Sources subject to the NESHAP are required to comply with the stack 
testing, monitoring, reporting, and recordkeeping requirements of the 
standard.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Owners and operators of primary lead 
smelting facilities.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 63, 
subpart TTT).
    Estimated number of respondents: 1 (total).
    Frequency of response: Initially, quarterly and semiannually.
    Total estimated burden: 6,265 hours (per year). Burden is defined 
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $782,379 (per year), includes $169,000 
annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is an overall decrease in the 
respondent and Agency burden and cost from the OMB Inventory of 
Approved Burdens. The currently approved burden is the cumulative 
burden and cost from EPA ICR Number 1856.06 (existing rule) and EPA ICR 
Number 1856.08 (2011 amendment). In this ICR renewal, we have combined 
the two ICRs to reflect current rule requirements and removed duplicate 
items. In addition, this ICR renewal reflects a decrease in the number 
of respondents from two to one since EPA ICR Number 1856.06. We have 
assumed that there are an estimated one respondent subject to NSPS 
Subpart TTT since rule is still in effect. These changes result in an 
apparent decrease in labor hours and costs.

Acting Director, Collection Strategies Division.
