Abstract: EPA is proposing a national emission standard for hazardous air pollutants (NESHAP) for the Electric Arc Furnace Steelmaking Facilities area source category. The final standards include emissions limitations and management practice requirements for new and existing plants based on maximum achievable control technology (MACT) for mercury emissions and the generally available control technology or management practices (GACT) for other HAP metals. Potential respondents include 91 existing electric arc funrace steelmaking facilties that are area sources. The total annual responses attributable to this ICR for existing sources are two one-time notifications; preparation of a startup, shutdown, and malfunction plan; and semiannual reporting. The owner or operator of new or existing area sources would be required to comply with all requirements of the General Provisions (40 CFR part 63, subpart A). No burden estimates are provided for new area sources because no new facilities are expected during the next 3 years.
