Abstract: The affected entities are subject to the General Provisions of the NSPS at 40 CFR part 60, subpart A and any changes, or additions to the Provisions specified at 40 CFR part 60, subparts M, P, Q, R, S and Z. Owners or operators of the affected facilities must make an initial notification, performance tests, periodic reports, and 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. Reports are required semiannually at a minimum.

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: There is an overall decrease in the respondent labor hours and costs compared to the estimated burden currently identified in the OMB Inventory of Approved Burdens. This decrease is not due to any program changes, but is a result of corrections. First, the previous ICR assumed all five secondary brass and bronze production sources subject to Subpart M would comply with the opacity standard using the Reference Method 9 performance test instead of continuous opacity monitoring (COM), and that the sources are not using any other continuous monitoring systems (CMS). However, the ICR included burden estimates for monitoring emissions and system performance associated with CMS and COM. Correcting this error consequently reduced the total labor hours for Subpart M. Second, the previous ICR incorrectly estimated that all four primary aluminum reduction plants subject to Subpart S would need to submit performance test results every month. This estimate is incorrect because only two out of four sources are required to perform monthly performance tests, and the other two sources are allowed to perform an annual performance test. Therefore, the requirement to submit performance test results was reduced to once per year for two sources, which consequently reduced the total labor hours for Subpart S. There is, however, a small adjustment increase in the total labor hours for Subparts P, Q, R, and Z due to a change in assumption; this ICR assumes all existing sources will need to re-familiarize with the regulation each year, even when the burden for Subpart R is now zero due to Doe Run no longer being a primary lead smelter.
