Abstract: EPA is proposing National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for four area source categories: polyvinyl chloride and copolymer production, primary copper smelting, secondary copper smelting, and primary nonferrous metals-zinc, cadmium, and beryllium. This information collection request (ICR) covers the proposed information collection requirements for primary copper smelting, secondary copper smelting, and primary zinc production (part of the primary nonferrous source category). Information collection requirements for polyvinyl chloride and primary beryllium production area source categories are included in other ICR previously approved by OMB. Potential respondents include one existing primary copper smelter and two existing primary zinc production facilities; there are no existing secondary copper smelters. The proposed emissions control and compliance provisions for existing primary copper smelting and primary zinc production area sources are the same as the current Title V permit requirements. The owner or operator would also be required to submit initial notifications and to prepare and operate by a startup, shutdown, and malfunction plan according to requirements in the General Provisions (40 CFR part 63, subpart A). The owner or operator of a new area source would be required to comply with all requirements of the General Provisions. No burden estimates are provided for new primary copper smelters, secondary copper smelters, or primary zinc production area sources because no new facilities are expected during the next 3 years.
