Enclosure 2:  Instructions

Information Collection Request for the National Emission Standards for
Hazardous Air Pollutants for Secondary Aluminum Production 

This information request is being conducted by the Environmental
Protection Agency's (EPA) Office of Air and Radiation (OAR) to assist
the EPA Administrator in developing emission standards for secondary
aluminum production under Clean Air Act (CAA) section 112.  The survey
is being sent under authority of Section 114 of the CAA.

Background:

 EPA proposed National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants
(NESHAP) for secondary aluminum manufacturing on February 11, 1999 (64
FR 6946) and promulgated final regulations on March 23, 2000 (65 FR
15690).  Amendments to the rule were promulgated on September 24, 2002
(67 FR 59787),  December 30, 2002  (67 FR 79808),   September 3, 2004
(69 FR 53980,  October 3, 2005 (70 FR 57513),  and December 19, 2005 (70
FR 75320).  

Directions:

All recipients must complete and return this survey by XXXX XX, 20XX.  
Please complete the electronic version of the survey for your facility. 
 If your facility is not subject to 40 CFR 63, subpart RRR, please fill
in your name and address, indicate this on the survey and return it by
XXXX XX, 20XX.  The survey consists of two files included on the
enclosed compact disk (Enclosure 7).  A hard copy of the first file
(secondary aluminum questionnaire) is included as Enclosure 1 for
reference purposes.   The second file on the compact disk, National Air
Toxics Assessment /National Emissions Inventory (NATA/NEI) reporting
spreadsheet is to be used to update or correct data in the NATA NEI
database for your facility.  Section 114 of the CAA does not allow
emission data to be claimed as confidential.  You must complete both of
the files on the compact disk electronically.  

As discussed in the cover letter, if you believe that disclosure of any
specific information that you submit would reveal confidential business
information (CBI) or a trade secret, you should clearly identify such
specific information and submit it separately from the non-CBI response.
 Please do not label an entire response "confidential" if only certain
portions consist of CBI or trade secrets.  Enclosures 4 and 6 contain
more information about CBI.  Do not e-mail a file that contains CBI.

The electronic version of the survey contains separate tabs for area
sources and major sources of HAP.  The area source tab does not contain
the questions in Part C of Enclosure 1.  The major source tab does not
contain Part D of Enclosure 1.  Please pay close attention to the tab
titles in the Excel spreadsheets and complete the appropriate tabs. 
Definitions that may be useful in completing the secondary aluminum
questionnaire are provided in Appendix A to Enclosure 1, and included in
a definitions tab.

Please review and provide updated information for the National Air
Toxics Assessment /National Emissions Inventory (NATA/NEI) database as
requested in the NEI reporting spreadsheet.  EPA requires accurate
information on hazardous air pollutant (HAP) emissions and other risk
model input data that we will be using to assess risks from the
secondary aluminum production source category, as required by section
112(f) of the Clean Air Act.  The source of this information is the 2005
National Air Toxics Assessment National Emissions Inventory (2005 NATA
NEI), updated with data collected by EPA’s Office of Air Quality
Planning and Standards.  For more information about the 2005 National
Emissions Inventory (NEI), please go to
http://www.epa.gov/ttn/chief/net/2005inventory.html.  If the NATA/NEI
database presently contains any information about your facility, these
data are entered in the NEI reporting spreadsheet, included on the
compact disk (Enclosure 7).  Please correct or update these data as
necessary and fill in any blank fields, if possible.  If your facility
is not presently listed in the NATA/NEI database, no data have been
entered in the NEI spreadsheet.  Please fill in all of the fields in the
spreadsheet as accurately as possible.  Note that the NEI reporting
spreadsheet contains drop-down tables that may be helpful in completing
it. You may include comments and qualifying information in the rows
below the data that you enter.  Codes and definitions for the requested
data are given in the "lookups" and “help” tabs of NATA NEI
spreadsheet.
