information about EPA's public docket, visit: http://www.epa.gov/dockets.
    Abstract: Owners and operators of steel plants are required to 
comply with reporting and record keeping requirements for the general 
provisions of 40 CFR part 60, subpart A, as well as the applicable 
standards in 40 CFR part 60, subparts AA and AAa. This includes 
submitting initial notifications, performance tests and periodic 
reports and results, and maintaining 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 reports are used by EPA to determine compliance 
with the standards.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Steel plants that produce carbon, 
alloy, or specialty steels: electric arc furnaces (EAFs), argon oxygen 
decarburization (AOD) vessels, and dust handling systems.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 60 
Subparts AA and AAa).
    Estimated number of respondents: 99.6 (total).
    Frequency of response: Initially, occasionally and semiannually.
    Total estimated burden: 62,000 hours (per year). Burden is defined 
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $6,430,000 (per year), which includes 
$203,000 in both annualized capital/startup and operation & maintenance 
costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is an increase in the total 
estimated burden as currently identified in the OMB Inventory of 
Approved Burdens. This increase is not due to any program changes. The 
increases in burden, including number of responses, labor hours, labor 
costs, and O&M costs reflect an increase in the number of respondents. 
The new number of respondents accounts for the one new source that is 
subject to the rule since the last ICR period. Further, this ICR 
assumes existing respondents will take some time to re-familiarize 
themselves with the regulatory requirements each year, which results in 
an increase in the estimated labor hours and costs.

Acting Director, Collection Strategies Division.
