    Title: NESHAP for Primary Magnesium Refining (Renewal)
    ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 2098.03, OMB Control Number 2060-0536.
    ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on January 31, 2007. 
Under OMB regulations, the Agency may continue to conduct, or sponsor 
the collection of information while this submission is pending at OMB. 
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 
in Title 40 of the CFR, after appearing in the Federal Register when 
approved, are listed in 40 CFR part 9, are displayed either by 
publication in the Federal Register, or by other appropriate means, 
such as on the related collection instrument, or form, if applicable. 
The display of OMB control numbers in certain EPA regulations is 
consolidated in 40 CFR part 9.
    Abstract: Respondents are owners or operators of primary magnesium 
refining operations. Owners, or operators of the affected facilities 
described must make initial reports when a source becomes subject to 
the standard; conduct and report on a performance test; demonstrate and 
report on continuous monitor performance; and maintain records of the 
occurrence and duration of any startup, shutdown, or malfunction in the 
operation of an affected facility. Semiannual reports of excess 
emissions are required. These notifications, reports, and records are 
essential in determining compliance and are required, in general, of 
all sources subject to National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air 
Pollutants (NESHAP). Any owner, or operator subject to the provisions 
of this part shall maintain a file of these measurements and retain the 
file for at least five years following the date of such measurements, 
maintenance reports, and records. All reports are sent to the delegated 
state or local authority. In the event that there is no such delegated 
authority, the reports are sent directly to the EPA regional office.
    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 in 40 CFR are listed in 40 CFR part 9 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 156 
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 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 which have subsequently changed; 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: Owners or operators of primary 
magnesium refining operations.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 1.
    Frequency of Response: Initially, On Occasion, Semiannually.
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 612.
    Estimated Total Annual Cost: $52,948, includes no capital/startup 
costs and $1,200 annualized O&M costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is a decrease of 119 hours in the 
total estimated burden currently identified in the OMB Inventory of 
Approved ICR Burdens. The decrease in burden reflects completion of 
activities that do not need to be repeated to comply with the rule. The 
increase in O&M costs is due to maintenance of equipment used to verify 
compliance with the rule requirements.

Director, Collection Strategies Division.
