Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Area Sources: Primary Copper Smelting, Secondary Copper Smelting, and Primary Nonferrous Metals-Zinc, Cadmium, and Beryllium (40 CFR Part 63, Subparts EEEEEE, FFFFFF, and GGGGGG ) were proposed on October 6, 2006, and promulgated on January 23, 2007. These regulations apply to both new and existing primary copper smelting facilities (Subpart EEEEEE), new secondary copper smelting facilities (Subpart FFFFFF), and both new and existing primary zinc or beryllium production facilities (Subpart GGGGGG) that are an area source of hazardous air pollutant (HAP) emissions. New facilities include those that commenced construction or reconstruction after the date of proposal. This information is being collected to assure compliance with 40 CFR Part 63, Subparts EEEEEE, FFFFFF, and GGGGGG. 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, and are required of all affected facilities subject to NESHAP.

Burden Increase Due to:

Burden decreases because of Program Change due to Agency Discretion: No

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The decrease in burden from the most-recently approved ICR is due to an adjustment(s). The adjustment decrease in burden from the most-recently approved ICR is due to an updated respondent count that showed fewer primary copper sources than were estimated in the most- recently approved ICR. This count is based on data collected during a recently proposed rulemaking for primary copper smelting area sources (87 FR 1616; January 11, 2022) and better reflects the current industry. Because the proposed rulemaking is not yet finalized, this ICR renewal reflects the burden of the recordkeeping and reporting requirements of the existing regulation. There are no capital/startup vs. operation and maintenance (O&M) costs for the affected sources.
