Title:
NESHAP
for
Primary
Lead
Smelters
(
Renewal)

Abstract:
The
National
Emission
Standards
for
Hazardous
Air
Pollutants
(
NESHAP)
for
Primary
Lead
Smelters,
published
at
40
CFR
part
63,
subpart
TTT,
were
proposed
on
April
17,

1998
(
63
FR
19200),
and
promulgated
on
June
4,
1999
(
64
FR
30204).
On
February
12,
1999,

the
Agency
publicized
a
supplemental
rulemaking
for
ferroalloys,
mineral
wool,
primary
copper,

primary
lead
and
wool
fiberglass.
The
supplemental
for
this
rule
enhances
the
requirements
of
the
bag
leak
detection
systems
in
40
CFR
63.1625
and
40
CFR
63.1655
of
the
proposed
rule
to
include
an
enforceable
operating
limit.
This
rule
applies
to
emissions
sources
(
i.
e.,
sinter
machine,

blast
furnace,
dross
furnace,
process
fugitive,
and
fugitive
dust
sources)
from
primary
lead
smelters.
4
The
monitoring,
recordkeeping,
and
reporting
requirements
outlined
in
the
rule
are
similar
to
those
required
for
other
NESHAP
regulations.
Plants
must
demonstrate
compliance
with
the
emission
standards
by
monitoring
their
control
devices
and
performing
annual
emissions
testing.

Consistent
with
the
NESHAP
General
Provisions
(
40
CFR
part
63,
subpart
A),
all
sources
subject
to
this
standard
are
required
to
submit
one­
time
notifications
of
applicability;
a
one­
time
report
on
performance
test
results
for
the
primary
emission
control
device;
an
initial
report
specifying
the
intended
methods
of
compliance;
standard
operating
procedure
manuals
for
baghouses
and
fugitive
dust
control;
and
a
semiannual
report
that
includes
a
summary
of
the
monitoring
results,

any
baghouse
leak
detection
system
alarms
and
corrective
actions.
Sources
must
also
maintain
records
of
production
for
unrefined
lead,
copper
matte,
and
copper
speiss;
the
date
and
times
of
bag
leak
detection
system
alarms
and
the
corrective
action
taken;
baghouse
inspection
and
maintenance;
any
records
required
as
part
of
the
source
standard
operating
procedures
manuals;

and
the
compliance
methods
chosen.
Records
shall
be
maintained
for
a
period
of
five
years.

Records
of
the
most
recent
two
years
of
operation
must
be
maintained
onsite.

An
agency
may
not
conduct
or
sponsor,
and
a
person
is
not
required
to
respond
to,
a
collection
of
information
unless
it
displays
a
currently
valid
OMB
Control
Number.
The
OMB
Control
Numbers
for
EPA's
regulations
are
listed
in
40
CFR
part
9
and
48
CFR
chapter
15,
and
are
identified
on
the
form
and/
or
instrument,
if
applicable.

Burden
Statement:
The
annual
public
reporting
and
recordkeeping
burden
for
this
collection
of
information
is
estimated
to
average
3,048
(
rounded)
hours
per
response.
Burden
means
the
total
time,
effort,
or
financial
resources
expended
by
persons
to
generate,
maintain,

retain,
or
disclose
or
provide
information
to
or
for
a
Federal
agency.
This
includes
the
time
5
needed
to
review
instructions;
develop,
acquire,
install,
and
utilize
technology
and
systems
for
the
purposes
of
collecting,
validating,
and
verifying
information,
processing
and
maintaining
information,
and
disclosing
and
providing
information;
adjust
the
existing
ways
to
comply
with
any
previously
applicable
instructions
and
requirements;
train
personnel
to
be
able
to
respond
to
a
collection
of
information;
search
data
sources;
complete
and
review
the
collection
of
information;

and
transmit
or
otherwise
disclose
the
information.

Respondents/
Affected
Entities:
Emissions
sources
from
primary
lead
smelters
(
i.
e.,
sinter
machine,
blast
furnace,
dross
furnace,
process
fugitive,
and
fugitive
dust
sources).

Estimated
Number
of
Respondents:
2
Frequency
of
Response:
Initial,
annual,
semiannual
and
on
occasion
Estimated
Total
Annual
Hour
Burden:
12,190
hours
Estimated
Total
Annual
Costs:
$
1,003,083,
which
includes
$
0
annualized
capital/
startup
costs,
$
19,000
annual
O&
M
costs,
and
$
984,083
annual
labor
costs.

Changes
in
the
Estimates:
There
is
a
decrease
of
83
hours
in
the
total
estimated
burden
currently
identified
in
the
OMB
Inventory
of
Approved
ICR
Burdens.
This
decrease
in
labor
burden
to
industry
from
the
most
recently
approved
ICR
is
due
to
the
assumptions
that
both
existing
respondents
have
complied
with
the
initial
requirements
of
the
rule
and
that
there
will
be
no
new
growth
in
this
industry
sector.

The
total
annualized
capital
and
operations
and
maintenance
costs
decreased
from
$
36,000
to
$
19,000
due
to
a
lack
of
capital/
startup
costs
associated
with
new
sources
purchasing
continuous
emission
monitoring
equipment.
The
operation
and
maintenance
costs
for
the
monitoring
equipment
at
existing
sources
are
anticipated
to
continue
over
the
next
three
years.
6
Although
there
was
an
increase
in
the
labor
rates
for
both
industry
and
the
Federal
government,
it
did
not
offset
the
reduction
in
labor
burden
associated
due
to
the
assumptions
stated
above.
