Abstract: This ICR covers information collection requirements in the final area source NESHAP for aluminum, copper, and other nonferrous foundries (40 CFR Part 63, Subpart ZZZZZZ). Potential respondents are owners or operators of a new or existing melting operation located at an aluminum, copper, or other nonferrous foundry that is an area source of hazardous air pollutants (HAP) emissions, melts 600 tons per year (tpy) of aluminum, copper, or other nonferrous metal or greater, and uses material that contains or has the potential to emit HAP for which the source category was listed. The owner or operator of an existing melting operation would be required to comply with the rule requirements by 2 years after promulgation; new sources would be required to comply at promulgation or startup, whichever is later.The owner or operator of an aluminum foundry, copper foundry, and other nonferrous foundry subject to the area source NESHAP would be required to prepare and operate by a written management practices plan. The owner or operator of a copper foundry or other nonferrous foundry that melts 6,000 tpy of copper or other nonferrous (excluding aluminum) metal or greater would also be required to comply with a PM emission limit of 0.015 grains per dry standard cubic foot or a PM performance standard of 95 percent reduction as a surrogate for HAP metal emissions. Records would be required to document metal melt production greater than 6,000 tpy and compliance with the management practices plan and monitoring requirements. Potential respondents include 318 existing foundries; no new area source foundries are expected during the 3-year clearance period of this ICR. Total annual responses attributable to this ICR for existing sources are two one-time notifications; a test notification and plan (if applicable), preparation of management practice plans and startup, shutdown, and malfunction plans; and a compliance report if any deviation occurs.
