NESHAP for Area Sources:
Polyvinyl Chloride and Copolymers Production, Primary Copper
Smelting, Secondary Copper Smelting, and Primary Nonferrous
Metals-Zinc, Cadmium, and Beryllium (Final Rule)
New
collection (Request for a new OMB Control Number)
EPA is issuing final 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 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 three existing primary copper smelter
and two existing primary zinc production facilities; there are no
existing secondary copper smelters. The 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 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.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
with 5 CFR 1320.9 and the related provisions of 5 CFR
1320.8(b)(3).
The following is a summary of the topics, regarding
the proposed collection of information, that the certification
covers:
(i) Why the information is being collected;
(ii) Use of information;
(iii) Burden estimate;
(iv) Nature of response (voluntary, required for a
benefit, or mandatory);
(v) Nature and extent of confidentiality; and
(vi) Need to display currently valid OMB control
number;
If you are unable to certify compliance with any of
these provisions, identify the item by leaving the box unchecked
and explain the reason in the Supporting Statement.
