SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency has submitted an 
information collection request (ICR), ``NESHAP for Area Sources: 
Primary Copper Smelting, Secondary Copper Smelting, and Primary 
Nonferrous Metals-Zinc, Cadmium, and Beryllium (Renewal)'' (EPA ICR No. 
2240.05, OMB Control No. 2060-0596), to the Office of Management and 
Budget (OMB) for review and approval in accordance with the Paperwork 
Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.). This is a proposed extension of

allows for an additional 30 days for public comments. A fuller 
description of the ICR is given below, including its estimated burden 
and cost to the public. 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.

    Abstract: Owners and operators of affected facilities are required 
to comply with reporting and record keeping requirements for the 
general provisions of 40 CFR part 63, subpart A, as well as the 
specific requirements at 40 CFR part 63, subparts EEEEEE, FFFFFF, and 
GGGGGG. This includes submitting initial notification reports, 
performance tests and periodic reports and results, and maintaining 
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. These reports are 
used by EPA to determine compliance with these standards.
    Form Numbers: None.
    Respondents/affected entities: Primary copper smelters, secondary 
copper smelters, and primary zinc or beryllium production facilities.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (40 CFR part 63, 
subparts EEEEEE, FFFFFF and GGGGGG).
    Estimated number of respondents: 5 (total).
    Frequency of response: Initially.
    Total estimated burden: 74 hours (per year). Burden is defined at 5 
CFR 1320.3(b).
    Total estimated cost: $7,400 (per year), which includes $0 for both 
annualized capital/startup and operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the estimates: There is a small adjustment increase in 
respondent burden hours and cost as currently identified in the OMB 
Inventory of Approved Burdens. The increase is due to a change in 
assumption. In this ICR, we assume all existing sources will take some 
time each year to re-familiarize themselves with the regulatory 
requirements.
