Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Area Sources: Electric Arc Furnace Steelmaking Facilities (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart YYYYY) apply to existing and new Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) steelmaking facilities that are area sources of hazardous air pollutants (HAP) emissions. The standards establish particulate matter (PM) emission limits for control devices and opacity limits for melt shops, pollution prevention requirements for ferrous scrap that is melted in EAFs, and monitoring, reporting, and recordkeeping requirements. New facilities include those that commenced construction 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 YYYYY.

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: There is a decrease of 80 hours in the total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently approved by OMB. This decrease is due to an adjustment to the number of respondents expected per year based on the feedback received during consultations with stakeholders. Although we applied an adjustment increase to the capital costs to adjust 2021 $ to 2023 $, there is an overall decrease in Capital/O&M costs due to the decrease in the number of new respondents per year as confirmed by consultations with stakeholders and the EPAs internal industry experts.

Annual Cost to Federal Government: $15,500
