Title: NSPS for Secondary Lead Smelters (Renewal).
ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 1128.08, OMB Control Number 2060-0080.
ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on November 30, 2006.
Under OMB regulations, the Agency may continue to conduct or sponsor
the collection of information while this submission is pending at OMB.
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 numbers for EPA's regulations
in title 40 of the CFR, after appearing in the Federal Register when
approved, are listed in 40 CFR part 9, and displayed either by
publication in 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: This Information Collection Request (ICR) renewal is
being submitted for the NSPS for Secondary Lead Smelters (40 CFR part
60, subpart L), which was promulgated on March 8, 1974. This standard
applies to owners and operators of secondary lead smelters facilities.
Owners and operators of secondary lead smelters subject to NSPS must
notify EPA of construction, reconstruction, anticipated and actual
startup dates, and results of performance tests. Records of performance
test results, shutdowns, and malfunctions must be maintained. These
notifications, reports, and records are essential in determining
compliance; and are required, in general, of all sources subject to
NSPS.
Burden Statement: The annual public reporting and recordkeeping
burden for this collection of information is estimated to average 1.5
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: Secondary lead smelters.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 25.
Frequency of Response: Initially and on occasion.
Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 38.
Estimated Total Annual Cost: $0 in annualized capital or O&M costs.
Changes in the Estimates: There is no change in the total estimated
burden currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved ICR
Burdens.
Dated: October 6, 2006.
