    Title: NESHAP for Area Sources: Electric Arc Furnace Steelmaking 
Facilities (Renewal).
    ICR Numbers: EPA ICR Number 2277.03, OMB Control Number 2060-0608.
    ICR Status: This ICR is scheduled to expire on July 31, 2011. 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 NESHAP at 40 CFR part 63, subpart A, and any changes, 
or additions specified at 40 CFR part 63, subpart YYYYY. Owners or 
operators of the affected facilities must submit a one-time-only report 
of any physical or operational changes, initial performance tests, and 
periodic reports and results. Owners or operators 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. 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 8 
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 electric arc 
furnace steelmaking facilities.
    Estimated Number of Respondents: 91.
    Frequency of Response: Initially, semiannually and occasionally.
    Estimated Total Annual Hour Burden: 1,481.

[[Page 33275]]

    Estimated Total Annual Cost: $138,991, which includes $138,991 in 
labor costs, no capital/startup costs, and no operating and maintenance 
(O&M) costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is a decrease in Respondent labor 
hours and an increase in labor cost. This is due to the fact that the 
rule for this subpart is now fully implemented. The previous ICR 
covered the initial phase of standard implementation which occurred 
over a three-year period. This ICR shows the labor hour and cost burden 
after full implementation. There have been no program changes.

    Dated: May 31, 2011.
John Moses, Director,
Collection Strategies Division.
