EPA is issuing national emission
standards for control of hazardous air pollutants for nine metal
fabrication and finishing area source categories: (1) Electrical
and Electronic Equipment Finishing Operations; (2) Fabricated Metal
Products; (3) Fabricated Plate Work (Boiler Shops); (4) Fabricated
Structural Metal Manufacturing; (5) Heating Equipment, except
Electric; (6) Industrial Machinery and Equipment Finishing
Operations; (7) Iron and Steel Forging; (8) Primary Metal Products
Manufacturing; and (9) Valves and Pipe Fittings. This final rule
establishes emission standards in the form of management practices
and equipment standards for new and existing operations of dry
abrasive blasting, machining, dry grinding and dry polishing with
machines, spray painting and other spray coating, and welding
operations. These standards reflect EPA's determination regarding
the generally achievable control technology and/or management
practices for the nine area source categories.
There is an adjustment increase
in the estimated burden as currently identified in the OMB
Inventory of Approved Burdens. The previous ICR incorrectly carried
over burdens and costs from initial activities and divided the
total number of respondents by three. This ICR is corrected to
reflect the annual, on-going burden and costs for existing
facilities. In addition, the use of more updated labor rates
results in an increase in total labor costs. The overall result is
an increase in burden hours and costs.
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
