    Abstract: The NESHAP for Ferroalloys Production: Ferromanganese and 
Silicomanganese applies to new and existing ferroalloy production 
facilities that manufacture ferromanganese and silicomanganese, and 
that are either major sources of hazardous air pollutant (HAP) 
emissions or are co-located at major sources of HAPs. The following 
affected facilities at ferroalloy production plants are subject to this 
NESHAP rule: Submerged arc furnaces; metal oxygen refining processes; 
crushing and screening operations; 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 XXX.
    Form numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Ferroalloy production facilities.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 63, 
subpart XXX).
    Estimated number of respondents: 2 (total).
    Frequency of response: Initially, quarterly, semiannually, and 
annually.
    Total estimated burden: 1,170 hours (per year). Burden is defined 
at 5 CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $133,000 (per year); there are no annualized 
capital/startup and operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the estimates: There is an increase in the total 
estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently-approved by 
OMB. The adjustment increase in burden is due to more accurate 
estimates of existing and anticipated new sources, as identified during 
the development of the final rule amendments.
