    Abstract: The NESHAP for Iron and Steel Foundry Area Sources 
applies to either owners or operators of any existing or new iron or 
steel foundry that is an area source of hazardous air pollutant (HAP) 
emissions. Research and development facilities are not covered by the 
rule. Foundries covered by the rule would not be required to obtain a 
Title V operating permit. Small iron and steel foundries are required 
to comply with pollution prevention management practices for scrap 
materials, the removal of mercury switches, and binder formulations. 
Large iron and steel foundries are required to comply with the same 
pollution prevention management practices as small foundries in 
addition to emissions limitations for melting furnaces and foundry 
operations. Owners or operators must submit an initial notification 
report that the facility is subject to the rule, notification of 
performance test, notification of compliance status (including results 
of performance tests and other initial compliance demonstrations), and 
the semiannual compliance report.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Iron and steel foundries.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 63, 
subpart ZZZZZ).
    Estimated number of respondents: 427 (total).
    Frequency of response: Initially, occasionally and semiannually.
    Total estimated burden: 7,893 hours (per year). Burden is defined 
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $772,735 (per year), which includes no 
annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: The increase in burden from the most-

[[Page 10089]]

recently approved ICR is due to several changes. This ICR adds burden 
requirements to repeat certain performance tests (PM tests for large 
foundries and opacity tests for all foundries), and corrects the 
average number of respondents per year.
