	Title:  NSPS for Secondary Brass and Bronze Production (40 CFR part 60,
subpart M), Primary Copper Smelters (40 CFR Part 60, Subpart P), Primary
Zinc Smelters (40 CFR part 60, subpart Q), Primary Lead Smelters

ICR Numbers:  EPA ICR Number 1604.09, OMB Control Number 2060–0110.

	ICR Status:  This ICR is scheduled to expire on July 31, 2010.  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, and 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: The affected entities are subject to the General Provisions
of the NSPS at 40 CFR part 60, subpart A and any changes, or additions
to the General Provisions specified at 40 CFR part 60, subparts M, P, Q,
R, S and Z. Owners or operators of the affected facilities must make an
initial notification, performance tests, periodic reports, and 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. Reports, at a
minimum, are required semiannually.

	Burden Statement:  The annual public reporting and recordkeeping burden
for this collection of information is estimated to average 100.5 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 secondary brass
and bronze production facilities, primary copper smelters, primary zinc
smelters, primary lead smelters, primary aluminum reduction plants, and
ferroalloy production facilities.

	Estimated Number of Respondents: 18 

	Frequency of Response: Initially, occasionally, semiannually, and
annually.

	Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden:  4,923

	Estimated Total Annual Cost:  $597,254, which includes $465,654 in
labor costs, $0 in capital/startup costs, and $131,600 in operation and
maintenance (O&M) costs. 

	Changes in the Estimates: There is an increase in the number of hours
and responses in the total estimated burden currently identified in the
OMB Inventory of Approved ICR Burdens.  The burden increase of 9 hours
is due to the adjustment of number of responses associated with the
semiannual reports for Ferroalloy Production Facilities.  The number of
responses for Ferroalloy Production Facilities was correct when
accounting for the total annual responses and thus did not affect the
total number of responses but was incorrect in the calculation of burden
hours.  The total number of responses increased from 29 to 49 due to an
adjustment of the number of reports for Primary Aluminum Reduction
Plants in the total annual responses calculation.  The change did not
affect the calculations of burden hours.
