SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has submitted an 
information collection request (ICR), NESHAP for Aluminum, Copper and 
Other Non-ferrous Metals Foundries (EPA ICR Number 2332.05, OMB Control

    Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air 
Pollutants (NESHAP) for Aluminum, Copper and Other Non-ferrous Metals 
Foundries apply to both existing and new facilities conducting melting 
operations located at an aluminum, copper, or other non-ferrous foundry 
that is an area source of hazardous air pollutants (HAP) emissions, 
melts 600 tons per year (tpy) of aluminum, copper, or other non-ferrous 
metal or greater, and uses material that contains or has the potential 
to emit HAP for which the source category was listed. New facilities 
include those that commenced construction, modification or 
reconstruction after the date of proposal. In general, all NESHAP 
standards require initial notifications, performance tests, and 
periodic reports by the owners/operators of the affected facilities. 
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. These notifications, reports, and records are essential 
in determining compliance, and are required of all affected facilities 
subject to NESHAP. This information is being collected to assure 
compliance with 40 CFR part 63, subpart ZZZZZZ.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Aluminum, copper, and other non-
ferrous foundries.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 63, 
subpart ZZZZZZ).
    Estimated number of respondents: 318 (total).
    Frequency of response: Initially, occasionally and semiannually.
    Total estimated burden: 11,900 hours (per year). Burden is defined 
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $1,360,000 (per year), which includes $0 for 
annualized capital/startup and/or operation & maintenance 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 
considerations: (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.

Director, Regulatory Support Division.
