The Electric Arc Furnace Steelmaking
Facilities area source category 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.
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.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
