The National Emission Standards for
Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Primary Lead Smelting apply
to existing and new facilities engaged in producing lead metal from
ore concentrates. The category includes, but is not limited to, the
following smelting processes: sintering, reduction, preliminary
treatment, refining and casting operations, process fugitive
sources, and fugitive dust sources. New facilities include those
that commenced construction or reconstruction after the date of
proposal. In general, all NESHAP standards require initial
notifications, performance tests, and periodic reports by the
owners/operators of the affected facilities. They are also required
to maintain records of the occurrence and duration of any startup,
shutdown, or malfunction in the operation of an affected facility,
or any period during which the monitoring system is inoperative.
These notifications, reports, and records are essential in
determining compliance with 40 CFR Part 63, subpart TTT.
There is an adjustment increase
of 5 hours in the total estimated respondent burden compared with
the ICR currently approved by OMB. This increase is due to rounding
of the total estimated burden to three significant digits.
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).
