Abstract: EPA is issuing national emission standards for hazardous air pollutants for two area source categories (iron foundries and steel foundries). The requirements for the two area source categories are combined in one subpart. The rule includes different requirements for foundries based on size. Foundries with a metal melting capacity of 20,000 tons per year or less would be required to comply with pollution prevention management practices for metallic hazardous air pollutants (HAP) and binder formulations. A foundry that exceeds the 20,000 ton per year cutoff for any calendar month is required to comply with the standards for large foundries. Large foundries (having a metal melting rate greater than 20,000 tons per year) are required to comply with the pollutant prevention management practices and emisions limits for furnaces and foundry operations. The standards are based on the generally available control technology or management practices (GACT) for the area source category. Potential respondents include 427 existing foundries. Total annual responses attributable to this ICR for existing sources are two one-time notifications; small foundries are required to submit a report of any deviations. All large foundries must prepare an operation and maintenance plan and a startup, shutdown, and malfunction plan, and submit semiannual reports. Foundries that use emissions averaging must prepare a written plan. Large foundries will maintain records and submit notifications and reports required by the rule and the NESHAP General Provisions. The rule allows 1 year after promulgation to meet the binder formulation requirement, 2 years after promulgation to meet the mercury requirements, and 3 years for large foundries to meet the emissions limitations and and operation and maintenance requirements. No burden estimates are provided for new area sources because no new facilities are expected during the next 3 years.

Burden Increase Due to: Changing Regulations

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The change in burden is a result of a new rule that requires recordkeeping, notification, and reporting for iron and steel foundries. Small foundries will submit two one-time initial notifications for each facility. Large foundries are required to submit two one-time initial notifications; prepare an operation and maintenance plan and a startup, shutdown, and malfunction plan, and submit semiannual compliance reports.

Annual Cost to Federal Government: $32,917
