    Abstract: The National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air 
Pollutants (NESHAP) for Iron and Steel Foundries Area Sources (40 CFR 
part 63, subpart ZZZZZ) apply to both new and existing iron and/or 
steel foundries that are an area source of hazardous air pollutants 
(HAP) emissions. There are different requirements for foundries based 
on size. Existing foundries with an annual metal melt production 
greater that 20,000 tons and new foundries with an annual melt capacity 
of 10,000 tons are classified as large foundries. Existing foundries 
with an annual metal melt capacity of 10,000 tons or less are 
classified as small foundries. Research and development facilities are 
not covered by the rule. New facilities include those that commenced 
construction, modification 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 ZZZZZ.
    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: 392 (total).
    Frequency of response: Initially, occasionally, quarterly, 
semiannually, and annually.
    Total estimated burden: 9,140 hours (per year). Burden is defined 
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $1,000,000 (rounded) (per year). No 
annualized capital and/or operation & maintenance costs are included.
    Changes in the estimates: There is an adjustment increase in the 
total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently 
approved by OMB. While the overall number of respondents has decreased 
from 427 to 392 since the previous ICR renewal to account for shutdown 
facilities, this renewal includes a burden estimate for each existing 
respondent to familiarize themselves with regulatory requirements each 
year. As a result, there is a net increase in the burden hours as 
compared to the previous ICR renewal.

Director, Regulatory Support Division.
